| Summary: | Globalization promotes the integration of socio-cultural, political and
economic systems of nations into global ones. Sociologists consider
this process as cultural and intellectual assimilation. Numerous studies,
in this context, have been conducted and highlighted the nature of
globalization and its positive and negative impacts on society. The
significant point is the changes that globalization initiated are not in
accord with the intellectual and ideological bases of Muslim societies.
The purpose of this study is to explore the social issues and social
relations that are affected by the process of globalization. This study
will assess the changes that are taking place in interpersonal relation as
well as in the institution of family. The present study is based on
previous literatures and documents analysis. Family plays an important
role in the life of an individual and in society as well. As such this
study highlights how family relations and social values are undergoing
change under the process of globalization in Muslim societies. It will
also assess the impact of globalization on transformation of individual
preferences and social values. The authors argue that globalization
affected Islamic values and made Muslims more materialistic, while the
history of Muslim societies indicated that individual preferences and
social values were based on religious ethos. Suggestions will be made
about how Muslim societies can get rid of the discursive and unhealthy
impact of globalization on the Muslim world. |
