“…So, students have the main responsibility to lead the country on the developmental track. Rawnsley (2000) is of the view that students are the pillars of society for future life. That is why; students should devote their life to the attainment of knowledge and acquire discipline in order to become the well-educated persons of the society to play their role in its development.…”

Religion has been considered as an outline for the sense of meaning and purpose. This research explores the effect of secondary school students religiosity & Spirituality on their future orientation in Punjab. This research seeks an answer to the contribution of students religious affiliation (fellowship with Islam, Christianity or Hinduism) and religiosity (Faith-based Coping (FBC) and Religious Social Support (RSS)) and FO. A total of 296 Muslims, 290 Christians, and 278 Hindu students participated in this research. Religiosity and Spirituality scale for Youth (RaSSY) developed by Brittany (2011) was adopted, while Future Orientation Scale (FOS) for measuring Future Vision towards Subject Choice and Future Vision towards Profession Choice was developed by researchers. The research concludes that students religiosity has a significant impact on their future orientation (FO). The religiosity moderately explains variances in FO of Muslims and Christians; however, it has a high impact on Hindu students in Punjab

“…Since the introduction of democratic institutions and processes in 1987, Taiwan's international communications have shifted from a model based on a style of propaganda associated with authoritarian governments (rationalised by the prevailing Cold War context that structured the Taibei-Beijing relationship) to one of public and especially cultural diplomacy (Rawnsley 2000). When in power, both the Kuomintang (KMT, Guomindang) and Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) have embraced the idea of soft power -defined as "the ability to get what you want through attraction rather than coercion or payments" (Nye 2004: x) and as a form of national power that is based on ideational and cultural attractiveness, which is intentionally or unintentionally realized by actors in international relations to achieve strategic imperatives (Lee 2011: 11) -to help meet the international challenges Taiwan faces.…”

This paper analyses how Taiwan exercises “soft power” and uses public diplomacy to engage with the international community, and to compensate for the absence of formal diplomatic relations with major powers. The research suggests that Taiwan's strategies of international engagement are constrained by its external and internal political environments. The international system (structure) has locked Taiwan into a set of challenging arrangements over which it has little control or influence, while Taiwan's public diplomacy architecture and the activities organised and undertaken by its government agencies in Taibei and its representatives abroad (agency) reveal, at best, a misunderstanding of how Taiwan's soft power might be exercised more effectively. The strategic thematic choices of legitimacy (invoking Taiwan's international status) versus credibility (which in soft power terms offers the most benefit), and the decision to privilege cultural over political themes in international communications, all have profound effects on the success of Taiwan's soft power.

“…These included the longstanding competition with Taiwan for diplomatic recognition. Taiwan had been successful over the years in retaining or winning recognition from a number of African states (Rawnsley 2000). Beijing's drive to isolate Taipei internationally meant that it actively sought to provide inducements for African governments to reconsider their links with Taiwan.…”
