This study, titled "Navigating Identity: Exploring the Dynamics of Social Identity and Values Among Young Males in Urban and Rural Areas of Democratic Bangladesh," delves into the intricate interplay of social identity and evolving values among the youth in diverse settings within Bangladesh. Through a nuanced exploration, this research seeks to uncover the paradoxes that shape the identity formation process and value systems among young males in both urban and rural contexts within the democratic fabric of Bangladesh. Employing qualitative and quantitative methodologies, the study investigates the impact of societal changes, cultural influences, and democratic norms on the dynamic construction of identity and values among the youth.
