Does global culture exist?


Culture is a term that has different meanings, but we know that culture is the basis of human society.

Culture is integrated by knowledge, beliefs, behavior, traditions, values, among other things.

In each human society there is a culture. So does global culture exist?

I don’t think that global culture exists. In every part of the world there are different traditions, or costumes. Even though a city could be just a few kilometers away from us, everything can change like the language, some beliefs, food, etc. There are a lot of elements that make a culture and each element changes. For example, in each country and also in every state there is a different flag that represents them and this is part of culture. Culture changes! Another example is the accent and language. The accent changes in every state even though it stills being Spanish, but in another countries there is a different language and inside this countries there are different accents too. That’s what I first understand from “global culture”. But in an web page it says that global culture is how you are able to experience your own culture in a foreign community.

This refers that how you can learn form different cultures and lifestyle. How when you meet a person from another country exchange valuable information of lifestyles and being able to adapt to it.
