Introduction
The advancement of science and technology has resulted
in changes in many aspects of social and moral order
which was strongly upheld. Currently, the moral and
social values tend to be ignored in which learners are
required only to catch up in the field of science and
technology if they want to stay updated.
1
Science and technology also affects globalization.
Globalization has created an increasingly open and
interdependent world between nations.
All countries are not only open to each other, but also
interdependent with each other. Due to mutual
interdependence and openness, all countries are
increasingly open to the effects of globalization.
2
Globalization is resulting in high volume of
information penetrating each country every day. This
information is not only affecting knowledge overall but
also affecting the values of Islamic education. This
includes changes in lifestyle habits such as dress patterns,
food consumption, and recreational activities.
Values become more uniformed, especially among young
people which affects their social, economic and religious aspects.
Sometimes religious values are abandoned because the
values are considered ancient/old, traditional and left
behind. Meanwhile those who follow the current in-fashion
trends are considered advanced and modern, ignoring the
deterioration it’s causing in religious and moral values.
Globalization also demands readiness in the global life
race. The competition requires young generation to
prepare themselves in all aspects, such as intelligence,
tenacity, toughness, innovation and so forth.
