Culture and Globalization
Sure, the dominance of any one culture is bad and dangerous for society. It will be disastrous for humanity. Today people from over the world discuss the globalization. Ardent opponents of this negative tendency, anti-globalist activists, persist in saving of multiculturalism. (doesnt sound quite right. perhaps should be "are persistent in saving multiculturalism" or maybe you mean insist. )
If earlier, only the culture of small nations was in danger, now there is a risk to lose the cultural roots in a range of big countries. The reason is the dominance of mass culture which is the powerful tool to control mass conscience. The consequences of globalization are noticed now. It’s rather difficult (not sure difficult is the right word. unusual perhaps ) to meet a person dressed in a national costume and people seldom listen to a national music. but However, it is especially sad that young people don’t know their culture, history and furthermore they don’t know native language. A lot of native values were lost. There is no a national idea in our country.
Ok, let’s try to look at this issue from the other hand. First of all globalization means integration (or intrusion of any one culture, but let’s continue). Integration has big benefits for humanity. It may help us to avoid the risk of ethnic conflicts and ultimately new wars. Moreover we won’t need translators if we have only one language. Everything is likely to be good. But However, in my opinion is a never-never. (??)
In addition people don’t want to be victims of globalization. Vanishing of differences leads to the wave of angst. I’m sure that we should not admit the dominance of any one culture. The differences are strength of humanity. For instance, Eastern Culture and Western Culture are absolutely dissimilar but they are equally valuable for the planet’s population. The variety of cultures as well as the variety of species is a necessary condition to save life on our planet and to continue mankind development.
