Cultural dispersal and various cultures

Post Reply New Topic

Ah yes, it is obvious that cultures differ everywhere. People, their environments, and their genetics are intertwined.

For example, bordering cultural regions and nations import and export culture in various ways. "Oriental" cultures are similar at first sight, and you might mistake Korean architecture for Chinese architecture. Same can be said for alot of African countries, not alot of difference there. African nations were almost universally ruled by European powers during the 19th century. Languages were mainly imported to there, and shoved upon the Africans. Not sure about architecture and cultural values though.
In the US, culture varies alot with the region.

Discuss different cultures and their various origins.

The world is becoming uniform though.

That's what it might seem, but it's not true in my opinion.

Yes, you have globalism, which means more cultural mingling and mixing, but the stronger cultures still remain. It's just becoming harder to recognise that culture exists to an outsider with all the modern buildings and technology.

Yes there is a homogenization going on, however, just as genetic changes stand or fall on their apparent merits, changes of a cultural nature are subject to similar principles, however this is filtered by 'consciousness'.

I used to worry about cultural homogenization when I taught cultural geography. But I think that homogenization is not so much a factor. Culture is expanding in special interests and niches - WrongPlanet is one example ... there is an aspie culture or subculture that is growing. This type of group would be difficult or impossible when geography was dominant.

If a mixing of cultures and races will result in the elimination of Redheads from the genepool, then we must fight multiracialism!!
