<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The aim of the study was to investigate role of religious rituals in shaping moral values and social norms</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> Religious rituals play a significant role in shaping moral values and social norms. They often provide a framework for ethical behavior by promoting virtues such as compassion, forgiveness, and charity. These rituals reinforce a sense of community and belonging, strengthening social cohesion and shared values among adherents. Additionally, they can act as a moral compass, guiding individuals' decisions and actions based on their faith's teachings</p> <p><strong>Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy:</strong> Socialization theory, symbolic interactionism &amp; cognitive development theory may be used to anchor future studies on role of religious rituals in shaping moral values and social norms. Develop and implement religious education programs that emphasize the ethical and moral teachings embedded within religious rituals. Develop policies that uphold the principles of religious freedom while ensuring that religious rituals do not perpetuate discrimination, inequality, or harm to vulnerable groups.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The aim of the study was to investigate ethical implications of emerging technologies and scientific discoveries for human dignity and rights in Rwanda</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> The ethical implications of emerging technologies in Rwanda raise concerns regarding privacy, autonomy, and equitable access. While these advancements offer potential benefits, careful consideration is needed to ensure they uphold human dignity and rights for all citizens.</p> <p><strong>Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy:</strong> Ethical framework of utilitarianism, deontological ethics of immanuel kant &amp; ethical theory of virtue ethics may be used to anchor future studies ethical implications of emerging technologies and scientific discoveries for human dignity and rights in Rwanda. Integrate ethical considerations into the design phase of emerging technologies to proactively address potential ethical challenges. Implement regulatory mechanisms that govern the ethical development and use of emerging technologies, taking into account principles such as privacy, autonomy, fairness, and non-discrimination.</p>

<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The aim of the study was to investigate influence of philosophical ideas on cultural expressions and artistic movements.</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> The influence of philosophical ideas on cultural expressions and artistic movements is profound and pervasive. Philosophical concepts often shape the way societies perceive reality and interpret the world around them. For example, the Enlightenment era, with its emphasis on reason and individualism, greatly influenced the development of modern Western art and literature, leading to the emergence of movements like Romanticism and Realism.</p> <p><strong>Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy:</strong> Cultural materialism theory, Cultural hegemony theory &amp; Social constructivism theory may be used to anchor future studies influence of philosophical ideas on cultural expressions and artistic movements. Research findings can encourage international cultural exchange programs, enabling societies to learn from each other's philosophical perspectives and artistic expressions. Governments and cultural organizations can use research findings to inform policies aimed at preserving and promoting their cultural heritage.</p>

<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The aim of the study was to investigate challenges and opportunities of interfaith dialogue and cooperation in a globalized world in India</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> Interfaith dialogue and cooperation are essential for promoting peace, harmony, and mutual understanding in a globalized world. India, as a diverse and pluralistic country, faces both challenges and opportunities in this regard. Some of the challenges include communal violence, religious intolerance, and social exclusion of minority groups. Some of the opportunities include the rich heritage of religious diversity, the constitutional framework of secularism, and the civil society initiatives for interfaith engagement.</p> <p><strong>Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy:</strong> Social identity theory, Communication accommodation theory &amp; Constructive conflict resolution theory may be used to anchor future studies challenges and opportunities of interfaith dialogue and cooperation in a globalized world in India. Educational institutions and organizations should implement programs aimed at fostering empathy, communication skills, and cultural sensitivity among individuals engaging in interfaith dialogue. Governments and international organizations should allocate funding to support interfaith initiatives, both at the grassroots and global levels.</p>
