How to ease the crisis of cultural globalization?

While the globalization of culture develops economics, technology, and information, many people around the world are beginning to doubt the impact of the globalization of culture on their lives. Some local and indigenous cultures are disappearing, because government has not yet considered how to deal with the conflict between local cultural values and the force of globalization. As the cultural globalization plays a more and more crucial role in human lives, the crisis is becoming worse, for example, some languages are disappearing, some traditions are disappearing, and some art is disappearing. There are three basic options for easing the crisis of cultural globalization.

One way to deal with the situation about disappearing languages is keeping all languages develop together. Obviously, when fewer and fewer people use some languages like some dialects and Latin, their offspring is not likely to know these kinds of languages in the end. To solve the problem, the government should enforce the use of the native language as the official language. Similarly, the government should organize institutions to study and disseminate their languages including dialects. As a result, the succession of some disappearing languages, with the support of the government, can be protected.

Steps should also be taken to overcome obstacles of some traditions that are becoming worthless is to teach young children to value tradition. In fact, cultural globalization does more than simply increase the popular of foreign festival and disrupt traditional festival. It also dilutes local perceptions of local traditions. For this reason, the education should start from the national early childhood education by arranging traditional culture courses with textbooks. Furthermore, traditional culture education mostly help people keep their own cultural identity when people are exposure to foreign culture.

One final suggestion, which would protect local art, is not to imitate. Because the globalization of cultural products and services increasing, some local art is disappearing. For instance, when one country create a new type movie that is popular in Hollywood, the other countries are likely to imitate this movie style. To avoid imitating, art media companies should create more art culture maintaining local art, including films, music, paintings and so on. If continuing to imitate popular art and abandon local art culture, it will result in the simplification of global culture.

In brief, if government protect various languages, education value tradition from childhood to start and art media companies innovate, the crisis of cultural globalization could be

eased. Otherwise, not only language, tradition and art singularize, but also cultural globalization might become cultural homogenization.
