Philosophy : "Culture"
|
Okay, so a lot of people say that the world should strive toward understanding and peace. I agree that this is a good goal. However I would like to bring up this bit to talk about. Many people believe that through getting to know those in other regions and cultures we would be able to come to agreements and begin to live side by side peacefully. I wander, however, if this level of globalization and exchange would not eventually lead to us developing a new world culture that takes over all of the previous cultures. I do not disagree that peace is a good goal, I merely wonder if we are beginning to overlook the beauty of cultural diversity. I hope we can find middle ground whereby we preserve unique cultures and peace. I think the world would be awfully boring if we all liked the same food, music, style, etc. I know that I may be taking this farther than most would, but if we can think of world peace, then perhaps world culture is not much further of a stretch (or perhaps it would precede peace).
I would like to hear what everyone else thinks about preserving the wonderful, unique cultures of the world. |
