Globalization has had a significant impact on the world's societies becoming more similar. because of globalization we are coping up with everyone through everything. Just for an instance, we are having our online classes with the help of our gadgets that came from different countries across the world. Even amidst of this pandemic, with just a simple click in our phones we are able to contact other people across the world. Globalization made an easy way for us to communicate to each other faster. It is not only helping ourselves through our phones but life was made easier through it from sharing ideas from one another.
The advantage of homogenization, in my opinion, is that it can break down cultural and language barriers, it can improve the quality of communication between countries, as well as people can also enjoy aspects of many other cultures now that cultural barriers have been broken. However, Homogenization also has disadvantages, one of the disadvantage is that it undermines unique cultural traditions in many countries, limiting the quantity of cultural diversity in the world. It can also lead to the extinction of individual cultures and religions, as well as a reduction in the diversity of ideas.
The advantage of heterogenization is that it can help bring countries' connections closer together. and, for the reason that each country has its own thoughts and perspectives, heterogenization can open up fresh ideas from a different country and introduce us to new learnings that are different from what we are used to. However, the disadvantage of heterogenization is the loss of some parts of each particular culture for the reason that they focus on the culture of others, they may forget about their own culture. One example is music, where they forget about local artists since they listen to music from other countries.
I believe the world is getting increasingly similar for the reason that the people can move about freely and because of the internet, which allows people to see so many trends from around the world that they want to replicate as well as apply to their own lifestyles, including how they eat, build their homes, and dress. People from all around the world are in considerably more communication than they were previously. So, the society is becoming more similar because of many reasons, society becoming more similar because people are able to buy the same products anywhere in the world, and because of globalization the world became more connected and interdependent place the products easily spread around the world reason why the people became more similar other reason is the internet, the internet makes the world a smaller place by bringing people closer, there are so many social media platforms across the world like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram as well as tiktok where the people can see many videos and trends that that they want to copy, and also they can use this platforms to communicate with new people who has a similar thoughts and interest the same as them.
