A Comparative Study of Societal Norms and Values in Different Societies

Abstract

This study centers on the comparative examination of societal norms and values across a spectrum of societies, acknowledging the increasing interest in this research area. It underscores existing challenges, including inconsistent norm definitions and cultural biases in prior studies. The investigation into historical, geographical, religious, and socio-economic factors is deemed crucial to unveil both shared traits and distinctions among cultures. The literature review delves into historical influences, geographical determinants, religious beliefs, socio-economic dimensions, and the consequences of globalization on societal norms. Recognized gaps in current literature advocate for more profound exploration, particularly in comprehending the intersections of multiple factors and the evolving nature of norms amid globalizations. The study's objective is to contribute meaningful insights to scholarly discussions, promoting cross-cultural awareness in our globally interconnected world. Areas that merit further exploration encompass longitudinal studies, collaborative initiatives with local scholars, and an examination of technology's impact on cultural dynamics.
