The effects of globalisation on cultural diversity
As a result of globalisation, the world is becoming more and more connected. This has changed people's

around the world have become very similar, globalisation has also encouraged cultural diversity. Below
are some examples.

which make them unique and more suitable to local tastes. On the other hand, Vietnamese specialties,
such as pho and banh mi, are also gaining popularity worldwide.

Culture SHOCK
Culture shock refers to feelings of confusion or anxiety that people may have when experiencing a new
and different culture. Culture shock can be caused by language barriers, unfamiliar lifestyles, different
climate, or strange food. For example, visitors to the US find it hard to get used to the local tipping
culture. By contrast, tipping in Japan can be considered rude and even insulting in many situations.
The best way to overcome culture shock is to start learning about the new culture before moving there.
You should try to focus on the positive aspects of your new experiences and keep an open mind.
Learning about cultural diversity helps understand different ways of thinking about the world, gain new
knowledge and experiences, and promote personal growth.
Research says that almost two-thirds to three-quarters of the world drive on the right, while only one-
third to a quarter of the world drive on the left including the UK and Australia. Or you may find out that
things that you're used to are banned in another country, In Singapore, for example, the sale of chewing
gum is illegal and Singaporeans take this law very seriously. So always remember that culture shock is
not a bad experience, but the beginning of an exciting learning journey to cultural diversity.
