Project Abstract

Abstract
This research project delves into the intricate relationship between globalization and traditional religious practices and beliefs. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected through various means such as technology, trade, and cultural exchange, the impact on traditional religious systems and beliefs cannot be overlooked. The study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of how globalization influences traditional religious practices and beliefs, with a focus on understanding the challenges and opportunities presented by this phenomenon. The research begins by introducing the concept of globalization and its implications for traditional religious practices, setting the stage for an in-depth exploration of this complex relationship. Through a review of relevant literature, the project examines existing scholarly works on globalization and its effects on religious traditions across different cultures and societies. Methodologically, the research employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative research methods to gather data and analyze the findings. Surveys, interviews, and case studies will be utilized to collect information from practitioners of various traditional religions, scholars, and experts in the field. The findings of the research reveal a variety of ways in which globalization impacts traditional religious practices and beliefs. While some traditional religious systems are resilient and adapt to global changes, others face challenges in maintaining their authenticity and relevance in the face of globalization. The discussion in Chapter Four delves into these findings, providing a nuanced analysis of the implications of globalization on traditional religious practices. In conclusion, this research sheds light on the complex dynamics between globalization and traditional religious practices and beliefs. By understanding these interactions, policymakers, religious leaders, and scholars can develop strategies to preserve and protect traditional religious systems while also leveraging the opportunities presented by globalization for positive change and cultural exchange. This study contributes to the broader discourse on globalization and cultural diversity, emphasizing the importance of preserving and respecting traditional religious practices in a rapidly changing world.
