A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.</p> <p><strong>Findings:</strong> Globalization has fostered extensive global connectivity but has also raised concerns about cultural homogenization, particularly the dominance of Western ideals and consumerism. This phenomenon, dubbed "McDonaldization" or "Coca-Colonization," underscores the erosion of local traditions and identities. Despite critiques, globalization has also spurred cultural exchange and the creation of hybrid identities blending local and global influences.</p> <p><strong>Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy:</strong> Cultural imperialism theory, world-systems theory &amp; hybridity theory may be used to anchor future studies on globalization and cultural homogenization: a historical perspective. Emphasize the importance of understanding diverse religious traditions and fostering mutual respect and tolerance among different religious communities. Incorporate the study of religion into school curricula at all levels to promote religious literacy, critical thinking, and understanding of diverse cultural perspectives. &nbsp;</p> Ibrahim Abdullahi Copyright (c) 2024 Ibrahim Abdullahi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-04-11 2024-04-11 4 1 51 63 10.47604/ijhr.2485 https://www.iprjb.org/journals/index.php/IJHR/article/view/2490 <p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of world war II on women's rights and gender roles.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.</p> <p><strong>Findings:</strong> World War II revolutionized women's roles and rights worldwide. With men at war, women stepped into various workforce sectors, challenging traditional gender norms and highlighting their capabilities. This period sparked advancements in women's rights, yet post-war societal pressures often pushed women back into domestic roles. Nonetheless, the war's impact laid the foundation for future feminist movements, driving ongoing efforts toward gender equality.</p> <p><strong>Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy:</strong> Feminist theory, conflict theory &amp; modernization theory may be used to anchor future studies on the role of religion in shaping medieval European society. The wartime labor shortage necessitated the employment of women in industries traditionally dominated by men, leading to significant advancements in women's economic empowerment. Governments should also invest in social welfare programs to support working mothers and ensure access to affordable childcare.</p> Akhtar Ahmed Copyright (c) 2024 Akhtar Ahmed https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-04-11 2024-04-11 4 1 36 49 10.47604/ijhr.2490 https://www.iprjb.org/journals/index.php/IJHR/article/view/2486 <p><strong>Purpose:</strong> To aim of the study was to analyze impact of colonialism on indigenous societies in Latin America.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> This study adopted a desk methodology.

Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.</p> <p><strong>Findings:</strong> Colonialism profoundly impacted indigenous societies in Latin America, leading to displacement, exploitation, and cultural suppression. Indigenous populations were forcibly removed from their lands, exploited through labor systems, and marginalized by the imposition of European culture and religion. Economic exploitation enriched colonizers while impoverishing indigenous communities, exacerbating social hierarchies and racism. Diseases brought by Europeans caused demographic decline. Despite resistance, the legacy of colonialism persists in ongoing socio-economic disparities, land conflicts, and struggles for indigenous rights and autonomy.</p> <p><strong>Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy:</strong> Dependency theory, postcolonial theory &amp; indigenous resilience theory may be used to anchor future studies on impact of colonialism on indigenous societies in Latin America. Empowering indigenous communities as partners in development ensures that projects are culturally appropriate, environmentally sustainable, and beneficial to local populations. Enact policies that recognize and protect indigenous land rights, including collective land titles and territorial autonomy.</p> José Martínez Copyright (c) 2024 José Martínez https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-04-11 2024-04-11 4 1 24 35 10.47604/ijhr.2486 https://www.iprjb.org/journals/index.php/IJHR/article/view/2491 <p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The aim of the study was to analyze the role of religion in shaping medieval European society.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> This study adopted a desk methodology.

Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.</p> <p><strong>Findings:</strong> Religion profoundly shaped medieval European society, with Christianity, particularly Catholicism, serving as a dominant force. The Church wielded authority over governance, morality, and culture, influencing daily life and socio-political structures. Religious institutions constructed grand edifices, symbolizing devotion and societal wealth. Yet, religious fervor also fueled conflicts like the Crusades. Despite its power, challenges to religious authority, such as the Protestant Reformation, underscored ongoing tensions between spiritual doctrine and individual autonomy.</p> <p><strong>Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy:</strong> Dependency Theory, Marxist Theory &amp; Modernization Theory may be used to anchor future studies on the role of religion in shaping medieval European society. Emphasize the importance of understanding diverse religious traditions and fostering mutual respect and tolerance among different religious communities. Incorporate the study of religion into school curricula at all levels to promote religious literacy, critical thinking, and understanding of diverse cultural perspectives. &nbsp;</p> Daniel Rossi Copyright (c) 2024 Daniel Rossi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-04-11 2024-04-11 4 1 13 23 10.47604/ijhr.2491 https://www.iprjb.org/journals/index.php/IJHR/article/view/2489 <p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The aim of the study was to investigate revolutionary movements in the 20th century: a comparative analysis.</p> <p><strong>Methodology:</strong> This study adopted a desk methodology.

Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.</p> <p><strong>Findings:</strong> Revolutionary movements in the 20th century, such as the Russian Revolution, the Chinese Communist Revolution, and the Cuban Revolution, each aimed to overthrow existing regimes and establish socialist states. Led by figures like Lenin, Mao Zedong, and Fidel Castro, these movements varied in their approaches and outcomes, yet all significantly impacted global politics and ideologies.</p> <p><strong>Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy:</strong> Dependency theory, social movement theory &amp; world-systems theory may be used to anchor future studies on revolutionary movements in the 20th century: a comparative analysis. Recognize the agency of grassroots movements and civil society organizations in driving revolutionary change, and support initiatives that empower marginalized communities to articulate their grievances and pursue social justice. Prioritize policies that address the underlying socio-economic inequalities, political repression, and cultural marginalization that often fuel revolutionary movements, focusing on poverty reduction, social welfare, and inclusive development.</p> Robert Williams Copyright (c) 2024 Robert Williams https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-04-11 2024-04-11 4 1 1 12 10.47604/ijhr.2489
