Culture

• Culture is the social norms and behavior found in
  the human societies. Culture is formed by the
  values, attitude, beliefs, and custom of the
  individuals living in a society (Riddell et al.,
  2014 P-67). Culture determines how people
  interact, how they behave, what they perceive
  regarding a particular thing, what are their
  traditions and customs, etc. The culture of any
  society depicts the values of the people living
  in that society.

Effect of Globalization on Culture

• Support
• Globalization affects the culture of the society
  significantly. According to an article published
  on the Refworld website on 4th May 2000 strongly
  support the positive effects of globalization on
  culture. The article states that in African
  society there was a ritual which was forcing the
  widow to shave their head for a year. The widow
  had to also drink the water which was used to
  wash the dead body of the husband. They had to
  sleep on ground without a blanket for a week or
  month. After the influence of western culture
  these rituals end in some societies while it is
  still practices in some societies of Africa.

Effect of Globalization on Culture

• IFor example, there is a culture in a society
  of Africa that when a husband is dead, the wife
  will shave her head and wear black clothes for a
  year. This is one of the worst treatments to the
  women in this world. It is the part of a culture,
  and the people of that society perform this
  tradition in respect of dead husband which is
  completely undesirable and unethical. After the
  introduction of globalization, when people
  integrated with the people of other culture
  (western culture) they came to know that their
  culture which they are following is not
  acceptable and they are not treating women as
  human, they stopped this practice (Refugees,
  2018).

• There are numerous positive effects of
  globalization on culture, but globalization also
  affects the culture negatively. Apart from
  culture, globalization also affects the economy
  of a nation by creating jobs insecurity,
  fluctuation in prices, etc. But here the main
  focus is on the effect of globalization on
  culture. Globalization has mainly spread the
  culture of western countries all over the world.
  The local culture of third world countries or
  developing countries has been affected
  significantly greatly (Cleveland et al., 2016
  p-1103). The western countries dominate and
  spread their culture all over the globe. The
  people of developing countries such as Africa and
  many others are increasingly following the
  culture of the western countries and forgetting
  their own culture and tradition completely

Conclusion

• Globalization affects the cultures positively.
  However, the effects of globalization could be
  either positive or negative. But the positive
  effects of globalization on culture is strong
  than the negative effects. The positives effects
  are that it helps in eradicating the bad
  practices of the society by depicting good
  practices. Globalization tends to integrate
  cultures of a different society and people from
  different society lives together. All of them
  represent their culture and out of all best
  practices are adopted by all the individuals.
