Transformation of Cultural Values and Social Practices in the Digital Age
Main Article Content
Abstract
Modern technology, especially through the internet and social media, has influenced almost all aspects of social and cultural life. Changes in the way we interact, communicate and form social identities have created tensions between local and global cultures. Social media allows for faster cultural exchange, but at the same time can lead to the erosion of traditional cultural values. This process of digitization has also changed social norms, especially in relation to the way people build social relationships and interact with others. Some social practices that once focused on physical interactions are now shifting to more individualistic digital spaces. Technology also plays a role in shaping a more flexible personal identity, but it often leaves questions about local cultural backwardness. In the face of this phenomenon, it is important to find ways that technology can be used to enrich, rather than replace, local culture and social norms. This research aims to identify the changes that occur in cultural values and social practices due to the influence of technology and to provide perspectives on how communities can maintain cultural diversity while adapting to technological advances.
