There are many words that can define humanity. Multiple factors make each and every one of us unique and important in this large world. Culture is a major factor of our importance and uniqueness. Each and every civilization possesses cultural differences. However, due to globalization and the upbringing of the modern age, most traditions have been lost in time and are near endangered. This raises the question, “How do we save the endangered from total extinction?”
Cultural loss is indeed a huge problem in this world as it can diminish the beauty of a civilization and erase it from history. One of the factors for this phenomenon is globalization. The spread of technological advancement and western influence has oppressed many cultures. It has encouraged individuals around the world to abandon their traditional methods to live a more convenient and meaningful life, resulting in most cultures being forgotten.
As hopeless as it seems, there is a way to use globalization to popularize cultural heritage. Thanks to the influence and creation of said subject, humanity has been provided with the necessary means to continue their traditions. The invention of the internet was crucial for popularization. Using social media, we can advertise culture through videos and posts. Furthermore, we can announce projects and events through Facebook to preserve culture.
As the world changes, we must adapt to the differences. It is true that saving cultures is becoming more difficult. Regardless, through hard work and determination, equipped with the right resources and strategies, we can work together as one. Slowing cultural loss to a halt may be possible.
