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?
It is undeniable that advancement in the ways of commuting and communication plays an important role in spreading the phenomenon known as
globalisation
on Earth. Some also
worry that their own culture
will disappear as a result
of it. I believe that as society adopts global trends, traditions particular to each culture
are at risk of fading away.
Firstly
, globalisation
weakens cultural identity
through the influence of Western culture
which is much more popular among young people nowadays. The spread of Western fashion, food, and culture
often dominates local traditions. Therefore
, they are more influenced by foreign trends and may find it easier to connect with international stars rather than to their old heritage which causes potential harm eroding their cultural identity
. For instance
, it is easy to see men and women wearing jeans, skirts and crop tops instead
of their cultural clothes such
as sarees and dhotis.
Additionally
, the similarity between products and services worldwide decreases the uniqueness of local goods. However
, international products have much more varieties and are less expensive rather than goods found locally. Consequently
, People become attracted towards foreign articles. As a result
, communities may lose pride in their unique creations, contributing to the loss of cultural identity
. Also
. language, a crucial aspect of cultural expression affected by globalisation
too. As English becomes
the widely spoken language here on Earth which replaces many old linguistic groups and by Wrong verb form
has become
this
native languages face the risk of destruction.
To conclude
, although
globalisation
promotes an easy exchange of ideas and practices and provides an opportunity for culture
to develop and adapt to a more interconnected world, it threatens the safety of cultural identity
