A people who want to go back to the roots of ideological or religious positions

Real World Example

After World War II, many regions in the developing world experienced rapid changes, such as modernization and Western influence, which some people found unsettling. Fundamentalists in these areas sought to return to traditional religious or ideological roots as a way to preserve their cultural identities and resist outside influences. This movement was important because it often played a role in political and social conflicts, such as the Iranian Revolution in 1979, where fundamentalists sought to establish an Islamic government. Today, fundamentalism still matters because it can shape political and social landscapes, influencing everything from laws to daily life. For example, in some communities, religious fundamentalists might oppose modern educational curriculums, affecting what children learn in school and how they understand the world.
