About this Quote

The quote by Peter L. Berger speaks with the suggestion of a global culture, or social globalization, that is arising worldwide today. This sensation is identified by the raising interconnectedness of societies around the world, in addition to the spread of concepts, worths, and also practices from one society to another. This is mainly because of the breakthroughs in technology and also transport that have actually made it easier for individuals to travel and also connect with one another. Therefore, cultures are coming to be a lot more homogenized, with specific elements of one culture being taken on by another. This has both positive and negative ramifications, as it can bring about a higher understanding and recognition of various cultures, but can likewise result in the erasure of distinct cultural identifications. Ultimately, cultural globalization is an important sensation that is reshaping the globe today.
