Cultural globalization

Transmission of ideas, meanings and values around the world

Cultural globalization is the accelerating transnational circulation of ideas, meanings, values, and cultural practices that reshape collective identities and social relations across geographic, linguistic, and political boundaries. This process is characterized by the common consumption of cultures that have been disseminated by the Internet, popular culture media, and international travel. This has contributed to the processes of commodity exchange and colonization, both of which have a longer history of carrying cultural meaning around the globe.
