c. Globalization has led to cultural hybridization The effects of globalization on local communities’ cultural trajectories have been the subject of extensive research (Billig, 2023; Bondar, 2023). The historical systems of ideas and practices, as well as other aspects of culture, are greatly influenced by globalization. The blending of various civilizations has led to the creation of new cultures. As a result, new cultural fusions that are wholly original have emerged. India, for example, has undergone cultural fusion as a result of its postcolonial history (Rumsey, 2023). As an illustration, varying migrant pathways in Goa influenced religious and cultural identities (see Rumsey, 2023). According to a recent study, globalization can be a powerful instrument for integrating foreign cultures into local society through advancing media technology (Kamran, Bhutta, Shamshad, et al., 2023). In contrast to older people, authors discovered that the younger generation in society is more prone to adopt foreign cultures. This shows that the globalization index will continue to increase with time thus a need for global societies to learn how to cope to prevent extreme cultural homogenization that may have detrimental impacts on local cultures. Historically, Arabic and indigenous Bantu speakers coexisted, resulting in the creation of Swahili culturealong East Africa’s Indian Ocean coastline (Wangila, 2023). This historical illustration shows how culturalhybridization as a result of globalization is key in producing new cultures. However, the emergence of new cultures is viable where people from different cultures interact in large numbers with a language limitation. The online translation platforms and availability of common languages that are currently available may prevent the creation of new cultures. This is reasonable because language is vital in the creation and maintenance of cultures (Farmonovna, 2023). d. Globalization has led to Westernization Globalization has led to the spread of Western culture, which has presented challenges to traditional beliefs and values. This has resulted in the emergence of new societal norms and discussions (Kanu & Igboechesi, 2023). Researchers and the general public have debated issues such as human rights and democratic government. However, concerns have also arisen about the influence of Western values on local cultures and the possible degradation of traditional beliefs and practices, including attire, cuisine, and ways of living. Studies have shown that Western culture has had an impact on other cultures worldwide. For example,Shukla and Pandey (2023) claim that Indian customs and rituals have lost some of their influence due toglobalization. The strict regulation of gender segregation, which was deeply rooted in Indian culture, hasbecome less prevalent. This has made it easier for young people to interact with one another, which has led to changes in Indian philosophy, increasing the importance of physical relationships among young people. Similarly, other cultures, such as those in Africa, have been affected by Westernization (Kanu & Igboechesi, 2023). Some countries in Asia have responded to this by actively promoting their cultures through cultural education for young people (Lim, 2023). The influence of Western music has also spread globally due to globalization. In India, for instance, Western music has gained popularity among young people, resulting in the emergence of a youth subculture (Laskar, 2023). However, there are still differences in music preferences among young people from rural and urban areas, with rural youth having stronger attachments to regional and local music. This phenomenon may also lead to the development of a hybrid music style combining local and Western cultural elements. Traditional oath systems for justice, which existed in many communities globally, have been impacted byglobalization. In many African cultures, the traditional oath system helped to foster unity and justice within the community (Uwaezuoke & Udominyang, 2023). However, the spread of Christianity, Hinduism, and Islam in Africa, along with the adoption of formal legal systems, has challenged traditional belief systems. In summary, globalization has fostered the spread of Western culture, which has presented both opportunities and challenges for local cultures. While some cultures have embraced Westernization, others have responded by promoting their traditional values and beliefs.

MUSHAF JOURNAL : Jurnal Ilmu Al Quran dan HadisVol. 4 No. 3 December 2024, page 554-562   GLOBALISATION AND THE EROSION OF TRADITION: MODELLING THEIMPACT OF GLOBAL CULTURE ON LOCAL CUSTOMS   Introduction Globalisation, with all its dynamics and complexities, has brought about profound changesin almost every aspect of human life. This process not only affects the economy and technology,but also brings significant transformations in local cultures and customs. The phenomenon ofglobalisation enables the rapid and widespread exchange of information, ideas and culturesthrough various communication media. Globalisation is a process that involves integration and interaction between countries,companies, and individuals around the world through increased international trade, investment,technology, and information exchange. In this context, globalisation covers various aspects ofhuman life, including economic, political, cultural, social, and technological. The rapiddevelopment of transportation and communication has accelerated the process of globalisation,making it an inevitable phenomenon that affects almost all countries and societies in the world(Sagheer et al., 2023). The process of globalisation has had a significant impact on cultures around the world,causing the spread and exchange of cultural values at an unprecedented speed. One of the mainimpacts is cultural homogenisation, where local cultures begin to be replaced or influenced bydominant global cultures, such as western cultures that are often promoted through mass media,movies, music, and the internet (Lee, 2021). This causes a threat to the diversity of local culturesas distinctive traditions, languages, and customs begin to erode. On the other hand, globalisationalso introduced the concept of multiculturalism, allowing people to access and appreciate differentforms of culture from around the world. This has created opportunities for cultural dialogue,collaboration and innovation, although it still poses challenges in maintaining each community’scultural identity (Madar & Girish, 2024).Globalisation, then, opens up opportunities for local communities to gain greater accessto knowledge and innovations from around the world. However, on the other hand, the strongflow of global culture often results in the erosion or loss of local cultural identity. Traditions thathave been passed down from generation to generation begin to be marginalised and replaced by amore dominating popular culture (Madri et al., 2021); (Aslan, 2019). Indigenous peoples and local communities in various parts of the world experience greatchallenges in maintaining their unique cultures amidst the onslaught of global culture. Customs,local languages, traditional arts, and religious rituals that characterise a community are slowly beingeroded. Young generations exposed to globalisation tend to identify more with global cultures thatare considered more modern and attractive (Gautam, 2021). In the context of Indonesia, a country known as ‘Unity in Diversity’ with a very rich culturaldiversity, this effect of globalisation is an important concern. Many tribes and indigenous peoplesare beginning to feel the negative impacts of the globalisation process, such as a decline in the useof local languages, a decline in interest in traditional arts, and the loss of some traditional ritualsand cultural traditions (Akpuokwe et al., 2024). This research aims to model the impact of global culture on local customs. With thisapproach, a deeper understanding of how the process of globalisation is changing the socio-cultural structure of local communities is expected.
