  4. GLOBALIZATION AND CULTURE The Forces of Globalization have led collective (cultures) to face many opportunities (positive impacts) and challenges (negative impacts). Importance of Culture • Helps us understand the world: different cultures interpret the world differently (different experiences), thus allowing us to understand different aspects of life.

  5. GLOBALIZATION AND CULTURE • Helps us work effectively together: There is no culture of one. Culture brings people together. Working together brings happiness. • Shares and uses knowledge to improve societies: different cultures = different ideas toward living good lives and what a good life is.

  6. GLOBALIZATION AND CULTURE Homogenization: Erasing cultural differences so that all people become the same. Marginalization: excluding people from meaningful participation is society because they are not the dominant culture. Acculturation: Culture change that occurs when two cultures adapt through technology, language, values, etc.. To each other and produce a new culture. (Métis P.58)

  7. GLOBALIZATION AND CULTURE Integration: The process of one culture gaining ideas, technologies and products of another, while maintaining its own identity. (CBC clip the lucky ones) Accommodation: Accepting and making space for other cultures to live side by side. (CBC- Reasonable Accommodation) Assimilation: When a culture is replaced or absorbed by a dominant culture. (Star Trek-Borg)
