a) Globalization and Cultural homogenization

- The destruction of local cultural diversity due to widespread popularization and diffusion
of globally symbolic cultures
The omnipresence of international chain stores has devastated the cultural settings
Ex: the global presence of Mcdonal has led to the homogenization of culinary cultures,
where local food traditions are overshadowed by fast food offerings (dilute local culinary
traditions)
- Cultural commodification
The demand for exotic and "authentic" cultural artifacts, clothing, and art has led to the
mass production and sale of these items in global markets (Bennett, 2001).

b) The role of language in culture


c) Cultural heritage preservation
d) Culture appropriation and appreciation
e) Cultural identity (how to recognize)
f) The emergence of cultural integration resulting from immigration
