Some people fear that globalisation will lead to the loss of cultural identity

[Kitisoare]

As mass communication and transport continue to grow, societies are becoming more and more alike leading to a phenomenon known as globalisation. Some people fear that globalisation will inevitably lead to the total loss of cultural identity.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

The development of technology has led to the growth of transport and mass communication. These two developments are the main cause of a phenomenon named globalisation. Some believe that, as years pass by, and globalisation becomes more and more evident, countries will lose their traditions, therefore their cultural identity. It is refuted that globalisation will lead to such issues. This will be shown in the paragraphs that follow.

First of all, technology has not invaded all parts of the world. Take as an example villages from poorer countries, situated far away from urban civilization, where one's life relies only on agriculture. These peasants have kept their traditions over the years and are very proud to share them to the next generations. Following this example, it is clear that, where technology has not reached yet, people living there are still keen on keeping their beliefs and customs. Hence, people should not be afraid that globalisation will lead to loss of cultural identity.

Secondly, another important factor that encourages societies to keep their tradition is religion. Many of people's beliefs and cultural activities represent a powerful bond with religion. For instance, people that emigrate in another country will definitely celebrate Easter and Christmas in the same way as they did at home. Another example that supports this idea would be the wedding. The ceremony that represents the binding for ever between two people is celebrated in different ways all around the world according to their religion, and this will not change soon. As a result , globalisation should not be seen as a threat for countries' cultural identity.

Following the analysis of people that repel technology and people leaving their countries, but keeping their own customs and beliefs, it is clear that this phenomenon known as globalisation will not lead to the total loss of cultural identity. It is expected that in some countries traditions and customs will be less and less practiced, but overall people will keep their beliefs, no matter the circumstances.
