The world has become more complex as technology and easy travel mixes cultures without homogenizing them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My personal opinion about the world is that it's homogenized.
It's trite to say that the world has gotten smaller in the age of globalization, but my travels have told me that it's wrong to think this means there is some kind of uniform world culture.
In the globalized world that is ours, maybe we are moving towards a global village, but that global village brings in a lot of different people, a lot of different ideas, lots of different backgrounds, lots of different aspirations.
I feel that there are a few things in the world without cultural barriers.
The standardization of world culture, with local popular or traditional forms driven out or dumbed down to make way for American television, American music, food, clothes and films, has been seen by many as the very heart of globalization.
It baffles me that everything is so homogenized, because the world isn't, and yet we continue to support things that are so incredibly milquetoast.
Science, for hundreds of years, has spanned the differences between cultures and between countries.
This great, though disastrous, culture can only change as we begin to stand off and see... the inveterate materialism which has become the model for cultures around the world.
If people and their manner of living were alike everywhere, there would not be much point in moving from one place to another.
Over the last few years, the world has become a smaller and more integrated place with technology that is leveling the playing field like never before.
