of authenticity and uniqueness of their cultures and attractions.

This

essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of

this

topic and provide my own opinion.

To begin

with, the major advantages of sharing a similar lifestyle can create a sense of community, regardless

geographical borders. People around the world can be bonded by having common interests.

For example

, fans of Taylor Swift from the USA often become friends with those from other

countries

. Another positive of

this

phenomenon is the opportunity for greater business profit. If similar habits are shared in the world,

businesses

will be able to extend internationally. Take the bubble tea business Gong Cha as an instance, Gong Cha has grown from Taiwan to Australia and other Western

countries

after the bubble tea culture became popular globally.

On the other hand

, the disadvantage of losing unique

cannot be overseen. In many cases, some

countries

have lost most of their local stores and traditional rituals under the influence of globalization.

For instance

, the traditional eatery, Dai Pai Dong, in Hong Kong has been mostly replaced by international

businesses

like McDonald's and Pizza Hut in the

last

decade. The loss of authenticity will,

as a result

, lower the attractiveness for foreign visitors, who aim to experience a different style of living. Take Hong Kong as an example, many tourists have found Hong Kong disappointing with the increasing coverage of international brands ,like LV and H&M, with only

lifestyle and generating greater business opportunities.

However

, in my opinion, the disadvantages

such

as loss of cultural authenticity and attractiveness to foreign visitors outweigh the advantages. Unless the

countries

value and promote their own cultures as much as accepting global influences, they will risk losing their cultural identity.
