Legal Measures Regarding Promoting Creative Welcome Activities for Freshmen in The Digital Society

Abstract

This academic consists purposes 1. to concepts regarding the promotion of creative freshman orientation activities and 2. to legal measures regarding creative freshman orientation activities in foreign countries and in Thailand. The study examines relevant documents and research, analyzes and presents the findings according to educational objectives. The findings indicate that freshman orientation activities have continuously evolved. Despite the adoption of technology to create activities that foster skill development, particularly relationship building, and the instillation of social values ​​in the globalized era, both through social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter) and YouTube, these platforms increase the risk of violent behavior and rights violations in freshman orientation activities. Although the current oversight and inspection mechanisms for rights violations in freshman orientation activities comply with the Civil and Commercial Code, the Criminal Code, and the internal regulations or announcements of each educational institution, rights violations in freshman orientation activities continue to occur and are severely impacted by social media. This reflects the limitations of the law, which lacks specific mechanisms for overseeing, inspecting and establishing measures to promote creative and safe activities, as well as effective liability and punishment. Therefore, to prevent rights violations, protect human dignity, ensure safety and utilize technology as a tool for creative freshman orientation activities, it is recommended that specific laws be enacted to support these oversight, inspection, and supportive measures aligned with the context of a digital society.
