The effect of Globalization to the dissolution of cultural identity and ethnic diversity

Globalization has been a very popular issue in the world. The arguments between the drawbacks and positive effects in cultural identity and ethnic diversity have been the major discussion. In my view, I agree with the notion that local traditions are being devalued by

this

modernization. The modernization of globalization can directly affect the cultural diversity of a

country

.

For example

, the insurmountable influence of the internet and other social media affect the cultural views and belief of

Thus

, the easy access to the internet allows people to connect and network with other countries and be exposed to their cultures. Thereby, in the countries of China and Iran, their government mandated to block numerous social media

such

as Facebook, Instagram, and

Hence

, globalization tends to have tremendous effects in local and traditional clothing. Thereby, millennials in

this

generation have been imitating international fashion.

As a result

, the local wears are now being ignored. “

Thus

negatively.

Furthermore
