Biến đổi văn hóa của người Raglai trong xã hội hiện đại (Dưới tác động của giao thoa văn hóa, tôn giáo và truyền thông)

Abstract

This study examines the cultural transformation of the Raglai ethnic minority from 1975 to the present, with a focus on communities residing in the mountainous districts of Khánh Hòa, Ninh Thuận, and Bình Thuận. This study utilizes an interdisciplinary approach and qualitative methods, integrating theories of acculturation, modernization, and rational choice. Data was collected through fieldwork between 2019 and 2025. The findings reveal that cultural interaction with the Kinh people have fostered the emergence of modern cultural expression while simultaneously challenging the preservation of traditional Raglai values. The proliferation of new religious practices has contributed to the decline of indigenous belief systems. Meanwhile, mass media has significantly influenced local worldviews, promoting modernity but also threatens the survival of the Raglai language and indigenous knowledge. These factors both facilitate the adaptive capacity of the Raglai people to contemporary society and present significant challenges to the preservation of their cultural heritage.
