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.
