The Dominance of English and Cultural Homogenization in a Globalized World

This exploration delves into the overwhelming influence of the English language and Western culture on global societies. It highlights how English has become the primary language of business and media, marginalizing minority languages and cultural traditions. As spiritual affiliations fade and secularism rises, the rapid pace of cultural homogenization accelerates the importation of foreign ideas and commoditized norms. The erosion of traditional values and the rise of a mono-culture are driven by multinational corporations, further entrenching the capitalistic culture of the West.
