Abstract
<jats:p>This volume explores dynamic relationships between culture, identity, social behavior, and evolving human interactions across local and global contexts. It emphasizes cultural pattern formation, symbolic meanings, lifestyle transformations, community belonging, and social influence structures. Contributions may examine family and kinship transitions, gender roles, work and labor culture shifts, migration identity formation, generational social values, and collective emotional patterns. Research on digital social presence, social media identity performance, cultural memory, and everyday life practices is encouraged. The goal is to advance interpretations of how individuals and groups negotiate meaning, relationships, and societal belonging.</jats:p>
