Cultural Diversity and Intellectual Fusion: Analyzing Abdul Hamid AbuSulayman’s Global Approach to Social Sciences

Abstract

This paper discusses AbuSulayman’s transformative scholarship on the globalization of the social sciences with a focus on the connection between distinctiveness and cognition. It can be observed that AbuSulayman, a distinguished scholar, is among the most serious contributors to the current discourse on cultural dynamics and social understanding. The study seeks to discover these elementary concepts and establish his work’s impact by exploring his research objectives, methods, and findings. It examines how cultural diversity can respond to the challenges that dozens of knowledge integration in a single field entails, by applying AbuSulayman’s theoretical and methodological models. Specifically, this study employs the method of qualitative content analysis to analyze his writing to find out repeated themes and ideas. In this regard, using components of interdisciplinary science, the role of AbuSulayman in the interaction between the integration of knowledge and cultural diversity is revealed. It is concluded that his work emphasizes communication, respect, and acknowledgment of the native knowledge systems, and incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems with techniques framed with sociological and anthropological theories; but following his philosophize, more research should be made to study the implications of his concepts to promote cross-cultural understanding in the globalized societies.
