Cultural homogenisation
Since World War II, North American culture has become more and more dominant around the world. This is called Americanisation

Our world is now more interconnected than ever. We call this globalisation.

When cultures adopt more cultural elements from each other, they become more and more similar. This process is called cultural homogenisation.

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Cultural heterogenisation
Globalisation can also lead to a revaluation of a culture:
  • People could get more aware of their own culture
  • They appreciate more of what they have and so express certain cultural elements more. 
  • Cultures would become less similar > cultural heterogenisation.
