<span>The answer is “negative externalities.” Externalities are additional positive or negative consequences (costs or benefits) that happen to a third party, who did not have any decision in the matter at hand. Some examples of negative externalities which affect society or the environment include increased air pollution in a residential neighborhood due to the construction of a highway nearby or the destruction of wetlands due to the construction of a dam upriver. It is the government’s job to study and regulate the possible negative externalities before projects are undertaken in order to limit their impact.</span>

Is globalization a danger to local cultures? Why, or why not?

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Globalization is a huge danger to local cultures because it can rob them of their identify by imposing a fit-for-all culture known all over the world.

Local cultures prosper because they are local and unique, far away from the global influence. Globalization brings people together but it also makes them all look alike because they are exposed to the same influences, in culture, business or politics. Some local tradition may become too old fashioned for many to be still followed and they may disappear, especially if the young people reject them because they don't seem attractive any longer. To prevent local culture, some rituals have to be maintained and pass over to the next generation, globalization jeopardizes this process and some local cultures may become extinct in the end.
