effect of globalization

cultural effect

The internet breaks down cultural boundaries across the world by enabling easy, near-instantaneous communication between people anywhere in a variety of digital forms and media. The Internet is associated with the process of cultural globalization because it allows interaction and communication between people with very different lifestyles and from very different cultures. Photo sharing websites allow interaction even where language would otherwise be a barrier.

"Culture" is defined as patterns of human activity and the symbols that give these activities significance. Culture is what people eat, how they dress, the beliefs they hold, and the activities they practice. Globalization has joined different cultures and made it into something different.

Culinary culture has become extensively globalized. For example,Italian , Indian  French cheese, and American burgers and fries have become popular outside their countries of origin. Two American companies,  are often cited as examples of globalization, with over 31,000 and 18,000 locations operating worldwide, respectively .
