What is the relation between globalization and culture ?

  Globalization is the increasing intermixing between countries throughout the world. This is happening in many diferent ways. Like economic relations, business relations, political relations. But also it's happening at more personal individual levels more and more with easy and available information sharing like youtube or even travel.

 

  Although there is increased interdependency and intermixing between societies throughout the world, not all these societies value and believe the same thing. Their culture is completely different. This can create tensions between countries that may be reliant on each other economically, or trying to maintain some kind of political peace. Also a lot of criticisms of globalization are that it actually pertains to global westernization which means that American or Western European beliefs and values are being the most weigh in the balance between cultures.
