Culture Change

Answer two (2) of the following questions (one of them needs to be directly related to a course reading/video):
ONLY TWO QUESTIONS
There has been some controversy regarding language revitalization projects. Critics suggest that if there were only one world language, there would be more unity and communication between nations, and commerce would flow more freely. How important do you think speaking a heritage language is? What would we lose and what would we gain if we had one world language?
What impact does globalization have on body ideals and body image? Are the consequences positive or negative? Why do you consider this the case? Use the textbook to support your answer.
Culture change is an inevitable part of human society; changing one system of a culture often has an impact on the other systems of a culture. Identify some of the changes in economic, social, political, and religious institutions when same-sex marriage is legitimized.
In Chapter 8, social media is classified as a communication tool, not a catalyst for change. Do you agree with this assessment? Why or why not? How much influence does social media have on your world view and your knowledge of political situations around the world?
If you moved to another country temporarily (and some of you have!), would you try to hold on to your cultural practices and values, or would you adopt (assimilate to) your new country’s culture? Do you think it is possible to completely give up a native culture and immerse yourself in a new country? Why or why not?
