To begin
 with, great cultural differences could create a clash between countries, for example, the world has had a lot of wars because of religion. With greater exposure to other religions, people in different regions would be able to see that individuals with different religions are not so different from them, generating a world with more acceptance of differences.
Furthermore
, we
also
 need to be wary of the problems, hegemonic societies' cultural practices might tower over smaller groups, and because
