Cultural Globalization
Cultural globalization is the global spread of cultural products, values, languages, and lifestyles, primarily from powerful Western nations, creating increasingly homogenized global culture while reducing cultural diversity.
Real World
Netflix operates in over 190 countries, with English-language US shows like Stranger Things shaping teenage tastes from Brazil to South Korea, displacing local programming and spreading American cultural values globally.
Exam Focus
For 'assess' questions, always balance cultural homogenisation arguments with evidence of glocalisation or cultural resistance to access top marks.
