Cultural homogenisation

Since World War II, North American culture has become more and more dominant around the world. This is called Americanisation.

Our world is now more interconnected than ever. We call this globalisation.

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

Slide 15 - Tekstslide

Cultural heterogenisation

Globalisation can also lead to a revaluation of a culture:

People could get more aware of their own culture
They appreciate more of what they have and so express certain cultural elements more.
Cultures would become less similar > cultural heterogenisation.
