6. Examples of Citation Styles
In traditional societies, especially among Muslims, receiving guests and honoring them is considered a form of high piety. In various regions, the culture of entertaining guests with the best dishes is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. Honoring guests is considered part of a social obligation, which must be done as a form of respect, brotherhood, and hospitality (Nurfaizi et al., 2024). However, in this modern era, there has been a significant change in the way people view guests and how they honor them. Globalization and modernization have changed patterns of social interaction and influenced people's values and habits, including in terms of honoring guests. An increasingly busy lifestyle, technological developments, and a culture of individualism that is increasingly strong have made social interaction increasingly limited (Subhan, 2022). Honoring guests, which was previously considered a form of devotion to Allah and noble morals, is now often considered a burden or an activity that interferes with daily routines (Hidayat et al., 2022).
