In recent decades, travelling abroad has become standard rather than the exception, especially among young people. Although people visited abroad for the purpose of learning cultures, lifestyles, and cityscapes, which were vastly different from those in their home countries in previous periods, they do not have interests to travel to foreign countries owing to starting to resemble one another. This trend can highly be attributed to globalization and technological development, and I, therefore, firmly contend that its benefits hold away over its drawbacks.

To take McDonald, apple and Samsung as an example, they have established outlets in multiple urban centers by creating a resemble commercial atmosphere notwithstanding of the country. Furthermore, advances in technology and communication permit concepts, infrastructural designs, and consumer trends in order to expand immediately boundaries, through supporting cities to adopt similar architectures and lifestyles.

The growing resemblance among cities, on the other hand, may lead to significant cultural loss. When global brands dominate urban landscapes, traditional businesses and local markets often struggle to survive. As a consequence, unique cultural identities, local cuisines, and architectural styles may gradually disappear.
In conclusion, although the increasing similarity of cities may cause some loss of local culture, it mainly results from globalization and technological progress. Overall, the convenience and opportunities it creates for international travelers and businesses outweigh the potential disadvantages
