Abstract

Background. Historical narratives are critical in shaping both political power and social structures within societies. These narratives not only reflect past events but also contribute to the construction of collective identities and the legitimization of political authority. Understanding how these narratives influence cultural change is crucial for examining the interplay between political power and societal transformation across different contexts. Purpose. This study aims to explore the relationship between political power, historical narratives, and cultural change by examining how social structures are depicted and reshaped through historical accounts in various political regimes. The research compares the role of these narratives in societies with different political systems, including monarchies, democracies, and authoritarian states. Method. A comparative historical analysis is employed, focusing on key historical narratives from selected societies. Textual analysis of primary sources, alongside secondary literature, is used to identify the ways in which historical events are framed to reinforce or challenge political power and social hierarchies. Results. The study reveals that historical narratives serve as powerful tools for consolidating political power, often manipulating cultural memory to legitimize dominant social structures. However, these narratives also provide spaces for contestation, allowing alternative perspectives and social movements to challenge established norms. Conclusion. This research concludes that historical narratives are central to the dynamics of political power and cultural change, offering insights into how societies negotiate social structures through the lens of history.

Abstract

Background. In today’s globalized world, cross-cultural communication and language proficiency are essential for fostering international collaboration and understanding. Ubiquitous learning platforms, leveraging mobile and cloud-based technologies, have the potential to enhance language learning by providing learners with immersive, interactive, and culturally relevant experiences. These technologies bridge the gap between language learning and real-world applications, offering students opportunities to engage with authentic language use and cultural contexts. Despite their potential, the effectiveness of these platforms in promoting global competency remains underexplored. Purpose. This study aims to explore how ubiquitous learning platforms can be leveraged to improve language learning outcomes and enhance cross-cultural communication. The research examines the impact of these platforms on learners' global competency, language proficiency, and intercultural awareness. Method. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative assessments of language proficiency with qualitative interviews to understand learners' perceptions of cross-cultural communication and the role of technology in their learning experiences. Data were collected from 200 language learners across diverse cultural backgrounds. Results. The findings reveal significant improvements in language proficiency, cultural understanding, and cross-cultural communication skills. Learners reported increased engagement and motivation, with many stating that the interactive, real-world contexts provided by the platforms helped them better understand and apply language in diverse settings. Conclusion. Ubiquitous learning platforms offer a powerful tool for enhancing language learning and global competency. By integrating cultural immersion with language education, these platforms can foster more effective and meaningful language acquisition in multicultural contexts.
