Due to the effect of globalization, the culture of some countries are influenced by others. Some people think this is a natural process. Others think this is a threat to cultural identity. What is your opinion about this?
It is considered by many that some countries are influenced by others
as a result
of globalisation and this
is a threat
to cultural identity
. I think that this
is a natural process
.
On the one hand, due to the advancements and changes in the world, most cultures of some countries are being influenced by others. However
, these can be a threat
to cultural identity
because some cultures are being neglected and forgotten. People think that the new changes made in the world cannot accommodate nor accept their cultural practices. For example
, some people prefer the use of stones to grind pepper, but the emergence of the blender has made the effective use of stones in grinding to fade away, thereby being neglected. Although
new discoveries are being made worldwide, but these do not pose a threat
to cultural identity
because most people still value their culture
and uphold it. They try to modify it to suit the ongoing advancement.
On the other hand
, globalization has brought about the influence of some country's culture
over another. This
being the case, most cultures moving with the ongoing trends, tend to accommodate the naturally occurring process
of looking and acquiring skills related to the new developments. Although
some cultures are being influenced, but these influences occur as a natural process
. For instance
, the use of internet and phones for communication. Most people find it easier to work with new devices rather than using the old ones. These processes are natural phenomenon that tends to occur in the lives of people, so it does not pose a threat
to cultural identity
.
In conclusion, I believe that the effect of globalisation, which has brought about the influence of the culture
over another is not a threat
to cultural identity
but a natural phenomenon. I recommend, that people should see these changes as a natural process
and work with it because the identity
of a culture
cannot be hampered by.Submitted by EKWESIANYA Emmaculate Ogechi on
