Those who put high emphasis on the various aspect of cultures might say that world is very complicated spot. However, as far as the culture is concerned, I think world has become a single culture by the help of modern technology. The rationale behind this are development of internet access and mass cultures. To begin with, development of internet enabled people around world to access and communicate each other freely. People now can talk to a friend in the other part of the globe by logging on the E-mail, or massenger easily and feel very close as if they are living in one culture. They can also read news and find information around world when it was impossible before the development of internet. For instance, when I stayed at Sanfransisco last year, I could do whatever I want to do in Korea. I was able to know what is happening in Korea and talk to many friends through the MSN messenger as if I were in Korea. My personnal experience shows that internet surely made a world a single place. Secondly, mass cultures such as famous movies are popular around the world due to the technical development. Cable TV, CD, DVDs are now available and easily transmit the drama or music videos to other countries. Hollywood stars are not only loved by US citizen but by millions of people all over the globe. For instance, there are cultural phenomenon ‘Han-ryu’ which is called Korean wave among asian countries. This means that lots of Korean dramas and songs are popular through various asian countries and they share the korean sentiment and even follow the fassions being popular in korea. In sum, I strongly believe that modern technology is producing one sole culture because of invention of the internet and other materials that transmit mass culture. All in all, I think that this trend will go further as the technoloy is keep moving forward and peole will benefit from it a lot. |
