Throughout history, it took centuries for the habits of one culture to materially affect another. Now, that which becomes popular in one country can sweep through others within months.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The great thing about a culture is that once you really get it going, it evolves on its own. It's self-organizing. It's dynamic. It just feeds on itself.
Popular culture has become engorged, broadening and thickening until it's the only culture anyone notices.
Countries have lost their culture because what they wanted was money. Money became the running theme in every country and culture was sacrificed.
Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and knowing why.
Country has become too homogenized and too commercial. It has lost what makes it special. It's great that it's popular, but then it starts to become watered down.
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.
Many people in the western world are spoiled by the conveniences of our culture.
It's very, very hard to affect culture. And you can get surprised thinking you're farther down the path of change than you really are because, frankly, most of us like the way things are.
Any trend that is developed too fast and is disposed right away is not going to have a lasting impression on the culture, you know?
Great cultural changes begin in affectation and end in routine.
