Q: Are there any benefits due to
cultural globalization?
Isabella Lynton: Balancing the
benefits of integrating into a
globalized world against protecting
the uniqueness of local culture
requires a careful reflection.
It is impossible to understand culture
as a rigid set or forms or parameters
that must be strictly adhered to. We
need to understand that culture is
a dynamic force for change; it is in
a constant state of flux, influencing
and being influenced by other world-
views and expressive forms.
I argue that the seemingly
unstoppable and ever accelerating
cultural homogenization around
the world brought about by travel,
the internet and social networking,
is probably a good thing, even
if it means the loss of cultural
uniqueness: it increases our sense of
a shared culture. In fact, the breaking
down of cultural barriers is probably
one of the few things that societies
can do to increase harmony among
ever more heterogeneous peoples.
