Abstract

This study examines the intricate cultural narratives and anthropological perspectives of Ghanaian society as it navigates the waters of globalization. Ghana, with its rich tapestry of ethnic groups, languages, and traditions, presents an ideal context to explore the tension between tradition and modernity. This research delves into key anthropological concepts, such as kinship systems, ritual practices, and identity formation, using qualitative methodologies including interviews and participant observation. Findings reveal that while globalization exerts significant influence, many Ghanaians actively engage with their cultural heritage, balancing modernization with traditional values. This study contributes to the broader anthropological discourse on cultural adaptation and preservation, highlighting the role of community resilience in maintaining identity amidst changing socio-economic landscapes. The implications of these findings underscore the need for ongoing research into how Ghanaian society can continue to bridge the gap between its historical roots and contemporary realities.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between unemployment and relationship breakdown among youth in Ghana. Unemployment among youth has become a pressing issue globally, particularly in developing countries like Ghana. The objective is to investigate how the experience of unemployment influences relationship stability among young adults. The study employs qualitative research methods, including interviews and focus groups to gather data from unemployed youth in various regions of Ghana. Factors such as financial stress, decreased self-esteem, and the strain on interpersonal relationships due to unemployment were some of the perceptions by the unemployed youth in Ghana. The findings aim to contribute to a better understanding of the social impacts of unemployment and provide insights into potential interventions to support youth navigating these challenges in Ghanaian society.
