One thing that clearly distinguishes modern
society from the last century is globalization. This world is rapidly becoming
global with well-developed transport and communication. With this phenomenon, people worry about its drawbacks such as destroying one's own culture and identity. I agree with the opinion above which the cultural identity will
not maintain as now with this phenomenon.
To begin with, since mass media and
transportation were invented, the speed of globalization markedly increased.
Throughout the human history, the invention of ship, train, car and the
Internet have contributed most. People were able to run worldwide business with
ships and trains, more and more people began to travel around of the world with
modern transportations. What is more, with the Internet’s invention, people
started to communicate with others wherever they locate, which has made it easy
for this world became global in advance. People know what is happening in every
part of the world with just one mobile device.
Despite all the development above, some
people worry about the matters it has brought and it will bring. This is
because globalization may exert a negative effect on traditions. To be
specific, since people started use a lot of imports from all around the world
and accept various kinds of cultures, the original cultures and custom which
have been kept from one’s ancient are destroying and mixing with other
cultures, which makes one’s tradition mess. According to a recent research,
small communities have difficulties from travelers and visitors because more
and more young people leave to follow the new world since they have heard about
developed world. As it is, there are already some of news found as bad results
of globalization.
In conclusion, it is true that modern
society is transforming quickly with new developments. However, we should also
be afraid of losing our own tradition because of its negative effects. |
