Reflection

Cultural diffusion

Colonialism --> Europeanization

Globalization

Nowadays: Trade relations - Migration - Tourism - Media

Americanization

The world at your fingertips

So you could say the world is getting 'smaller'. It's easier for us to connect with places everywhere around the globe. We call this process: Globalization 

Globalisation = The process by which the world is becoming increasingly interconnected.

Reflection

Film John Rolfe - History of the US

What do you think this piece of film has to do with Globalisation?

Global culture

Cultures now influence each other more than ever. When cultures adopt more cultural elements from each other, they become more and more similar. This process is called cultural homogenisation

Cultural homogenisation: The process in which cultures become more similar. 

Do you think we're headed for a Global Culture? Explain your answer.

Cultural heterogenisation

The process in which cultures become less similar.

Outside influences can make people more aware of their own culture, more appreciative of what they have and so express certain cultural elements more.

Your turn!
