The problem statement will highlight the need to understand the impact of globalization on traditional religions in the face of rapid global changes. The objectives of the study include examining the ways in which globalization has affected traditional religious practices and identifying the challenges and opportunities that arise from these changes. The study will also outline the limitations and scope of the research, acknowledging the constraints and boundaries within which the study will be conducted. The significance of the study lies in its potential to shed light on the complex interactions between globalization and traditional religious practices, providing insights into how these dynamics shape contemporary religious landscapes. The structure of the research will be organized into five chapters. Chapter One will include the introduction, background of the study, problem statement, objectives of the study, limitations of the study, scope of the study, significance of the study, and the definition of key terms. Chapter Two will present a comprehensive literature review, analyzing existing research on the impact of globalization on traditional religious practices. Chapter Three will outline the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures. The chapter will also discuss ethical considerations and limitations of the research methodology. Chapter Four will present the findings of the study, analyzing the impact of globalization on traditional religious practices based on the data collected. Chapter Five will offer a conclusion and summary of the research findings, highlighting the key insights and implications of the study. The chapter will also provide recommendations for future research and practical implications for policymakers, religious leaders, and communities affected by the changes brought about by globalization. Overall, this research project seeks to contribute to the scholarly understanding of the impact of globalization on traditional religious practices, offering valuable insights into the evolving nature of religion in the globalized world.
