Qualitative research increases cultural awareness by helping students see how cultural values and social rules directly guide the decisions people make in real life. Interviews show that many people choose careers, food, or habits not for personal reasons, but to follow tradition, religion, or family expectations.
Choosing Careers to Please Family: Students hear how participants select jobs like law or engineering due to family pressure, not personal interest.
Religious Beliefs in Marriage: Participants follow religious rules about who and when to marry. Students understand how faith guides big life decisions.
Food Habits in Festivals: Some avoid meat during cultural or religious events. Students learn how tradition shapes everyday choices like diet and timing.
Dressing to Fit Social Norms: People wear modest clothing not by choice, but to avoid judgment. Students see how social approval drives behavior.
Staying Close to Hometown: Participants resist moving far due to cultural belief in staying near family. Students explore how location preferences are shaped by values.
