 Bitcoins are a form of virtual currency. In other words, they are a type of money that does
not exist in the actual world. However, they can be used to purchase actual products and
services from real companies. The bitcoin system was created in 2009 by an enigmatic person
named Satoshi Nakamoto. In fact, no one is sure if Satoshi Nakamoto is an actual person or a
group of people. Bitcoins are designed to serve as an alternative to national currencies, such as
dollars and euros, They can be used to pay for things instead of cash or credit cards. When
bitcoins are transferred from a buyer to a seller, the transaction is recorded in a public database.
Governments are concerned that bitcoins can easily be stolen by hackers. It has dawned on
them that they might be used for illegal purposes. For example, stolen goods could be
purchased without the government's knowledge. Although more and more companies are
beginning to accept bitcoins, the percentage of purchases made using bitcoins is minuscule
compared to other online payment methods, such as credit cards. Instead, many bitcoin owners
simply keep them as an investment since more valuable in the future. This may or may not be a
wise approach. Currently, the value of bitcoins is fluctuating wildly, especially when compared
to highly stable national currencies, Bitcoin Investors are gambling on the hope that as this high-
tech money becomes more widely accepted, its value will soar.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Despite widespread assumptions to the contrary, there is no prescribed pathway for the
development of a society,  no single model on which development strategies should be based.
The Western model of development, conceived linear process involving largely economic
factors, is often incompatible with the complex social, cultural and political dimensions of
societies pursuing different goals, reflecting their own values. The ideology of development has
all too often tended to damage the social fabric and foundations- often rooted in traditions of
communal solidarity- of the communities that have received “development aid”
 Just as no development strategy can be said to be culturally neutral, a culturally sensitive
approach to development is the key to addressing the interlinked social, economic and
environmental problems confronting the planet as a whole. Cultural diversity - which
emphasizes the dynamic interactions between cultures and sensitivity to cultural contexts - thus
becomes a key lever for ensuring sustainable, holistic development strategies. While the
international community, in its attempts to operationalize the concept of sustainable
development over the last two decades, has begun to acknowledge the role of culture in the
development process, the cultural factor has yet to be fully integrated into the development
equation. Tran Truong Thanh (Zalo 00369904425)
The 1987 Bruntland Report of the UN Commission on Environment and Development
(UNCED), entitled our Common Future, was seminal in its assertion that genuine development
must be sustainable - denoting a form of growth “that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". At the 1992 Earth
Summit in Rio de Janeiro, sustainability was conceived in terms of the three pillars of economic
viability, social responsiveness and respect for the environment. These pillars have since served
as the basis for important standard-setting instruments,
Including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Nations Framework
Convention on Climate on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The 2002 World Summit on Sustainable
Development in Johannesburg went further by recognizing cultural diversity as a significant
cross-cutting factor in sustainable development. Cultural diversity must be seen as a cross-
cutting (rather than as a separate, fourth pillar of sustainability), with an important role to play
in all development projects, from poverty eradication and the safeguarding of biodiversity to
resource management and climate change.
