What is cultural globalization? Illustrate with examples in relation to Britain or other countries.

Cultural
globalization is the interaction of
cultures around the world that are becoming more and more
similar. It is the
opposite of cultural distinctiveness in which people keep their own cultural

traditions that are very different from each other.

American culture
has
spread around the world. We can see this with American sports and
American sports figures.
Basketball is becoming a sport played around the
world. Invented in the United States by James
Naismith in 1891, basketball is
now a sport with a worldwide audience. People around the world
recognize the
names of current star players such as LeBron James and Stephen Curry and
former
star players such as Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. American
football also is growing in
popularity. The National Football League now
plays three regular season games a year in
London.


American businesses are found around the world. Starbucks and

McDonald's are two examples of American businesses that can be found throughout the
world. You
will find these businesses in the major cities of many
countries.

American
entertainers are also famous around
the world. The music of Prince and of Michael Jackson is
known almost
everywhere. Bruce Springsteen is also famous throughout the world. In the
United
States, we are familiar with the famous music of the Beatles and the
music of Celine
Dion.

There are several examples to show
how cultures are becoming more
similar throughout the world.
