Nowadays the differences between countries are becoming less evident because we see the same TV shows, advertisements, fashion and follow the same brands. To what extent the advantages of this trend outweigh its disadvantages?
Globalisation has allowed people to adopt a homogeneous culture in terms of entertainment, fashion and other areas as
such
. Some people argue that globalization has a fundamentally beneficial influence on our lives, while many others contend that it has a detrimental effect as well. From my personal point of view, Linking Words
this
trend could cause a serious of problems, Linking Words
although
some people may benefit from it in certain cases.
On the one hand, the widening international exchanges have exerted positive influences. The major benefit is that they enrich people's lives because residences of one nation are given opportunities through international TV programmes and films to enjoy the achievements of other cultures across the globe. Linking Words
For example
, people worldwide can easily enjoy more and more Hollywood blockbusters without going abroad. Linking Words
Moreover
, following a global fashion trend shall make you feel and act more naturally with the people from different backgrounds in the world without being too obvious. Linking Words
Finally
, tourists may not suffer from culture shock any more thanks to the cultural understanding of a certain country from the global media.

On the other hand
, the growing interdependence among countries Linking Words
also
creates the possible dangers. One main problem associated with cultural globalization is the erosion of cultural identity in some parts of the word. People living in these places may adopt the most popular lifestyles and do not take effort to preserve their own traditions. Linking Words
For instance
, some traditional food might disappear with the expansion of fast food chains. Linking Words
Additionally
, certain language could Linking Words
also
vanish, if most of the native speakers try to emigrate to other countries. Linking Words
This
is particularly the case for those less developed countries because citizens in these countries do not have a satisfying living standard and confidence in their own traditions.
In conclusion, despite globalization boosts economic integration and speeds up modernisation, its negative impact could Linking Words
also
be fatal on cultural diversity. Linking Words
Therefore
, disadvantages created by it far outweigh the advantages.Linking Words
