SOCIOLOGY OF RELIGION IN MULTICULTURAL FAMILIES CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION

Abstract

This research examines the impact of globalization on religious practices within multicultural families living in urban areas. The study found that traditional religious practices are declining due to changes in urban lifestyles and exposure to global culture. Multicultural families have developed strategies to navigate religious and cultural differences, such as open dialogue, interfaith celebrations, and seeking support from counselors or religious leaders. The findings highlight the importance of inclusive approaches and open communication in addressing religious challenges within these families. The research contributes to a better understanding of how globalization influences the structure and dynamics of multicultural families in Indonesia.
