The shared experiences can dilute traditional cultures.
Modern technology, most notably the internet, has made possible instant communication and the democratization of the availability of information and knowledge. However, as a negative correlate of this fact, modern technology tends to focus on global trends and the cultures where these are originated, making experiences uniform, which can dilute, or at the very least, undermine, the contributions that traditional and non-dominant cultures may contribute to the globalized dialogue that modern technology implies.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Does Gilgamesh kill Enkidu in the Cedar Forest?
<em>Answer:</em> No. Gilgamesh does not kill Enkidu in the Cedar Forest. Gilgamesh kills Humbaba.
Gilgamesh, with the help of Enkidu, kills Humbaba, which in the story is regarded as the guardian of the forest, trying to protect the cedar trees.
This is part of the epic Sumerian story "THe Epic of Gilgamesh." Historians believe it is one of the oldest texts in human history, Indeed, it was written in the clay Sumerian tablets using the cuneiform scripture.
The story could be interpreted as a folklore story or a legend from the Sumerian times and their feared/beloved gods on earth.
