As mass communication and transport continue to grow, societies are becoming more and more alike leading to a phenomenon known as globalization. Some people fear that globalization will inevitably lead to the total loss of cultural identity. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Many people are worried thinking that
globalisation
will destroy cultural
identity
. Personally, I believe that
globalisation
may help to preserve cultural
identity
thanks to technology and may divulge
this
identity
in order to be shared and keep it safe. For these reasons, I completely disagree with the statement given.
Firstly
, it is well known that
globalisation
could have some drawbacks,
however
, it could help to preserve cultural dances, languages or recipes thanks to the internet.
In addition
, using all tools that
globalisation
has, cultural
identity
can be saved for centuries, helping communities with their traditions.
For example
, if the population records their dances, copies their books, and saves their knowledge in the online cloud, it will be safe and will not be either damaged or lost.
For
this
reason,
globalisation
may help in
this
task and has a lot of resources to make it easier.
Secondly
, the aforementioned tools can be used to divulge the cultural
identity
of each region.
For instance
, the Spanish population can learn about the cultural
identity
of Japan or India, using tools
such
as Tik Tok or apps to meet new people around the world. Thanks to
globalisation
, people are able to share their traditions and their culture in order to become more popular and unforgettable.
To conclude
,
although
globalisation
has some disadvantages, I support that it can help to preserve cultural
identity
and at the same time that it should be used as a loudspeaker to divulge it. For these reasons I completely disagree with the statement given.
