Culture is much the same all around the world when compared to the previous times. Why? Is this a positive or negative trend?
Indubitably, culture defines one’s belief, behavior, and a way of living since the dawn of civilization. It is believed that there is identical culture across the globe compared to the old days. Apparently, modernization and westernization are to be blamed for this universal phenomenon. However, it is a destructive trend.
Fundamentally, the predominant factors that evidently trigger it can be observed. To begin with, technology and the internet played a significant role in not only connecting the people around the globe, but also in knowing and adapting their diversified traditions and values. To vindicate, per BBC research, an exponential rise has been witnessed in various countries celebrating Christmas. Secondly, unlike the 20th century, individuals nowadays tend to relocate abroad for career growth at an unprecedented scale and are exposed to a new way of living. Consequently, this leads to getting acquainted with their cultures and taking back home a few which suits their routine.
Nevertheless, I find this trend negative for multifarious reasons. Chiefly, if individuals adapt to new cultures, they will forget their own roots. Subsequently, values and beliefs will not be passed through generations and will be lost down the line. To corroborate, according to Forbes magazine, a plethora of cultures have diminished and have lost their ethnicity in the contemporary world. Besides, does it impact tourism? Certainly yes, owing to globalization, people need not to travel to specific countries to enjoy their festivities as it has been celebrated in their city as well. Hence, it has a harrowing upshot on the ethical and financial grounds.
To recapitulate, although we are interconnected more than ever by sharing myriad customs, its destructive ripples in terms of losing one’s value and impacting the tourism industry of the nation is unsurpassable. Needless to state, it’s a mixed bag of both boon and bane.
