I read Naiomi's post about Global Culture, and i found the topic interesting; while I agree with her up to certain point, I think global culture does exists in a certain way. We all identify ourselves as human, we share the same worries (like global warming and oil scarcity), we all have the same basic needs, we all look for our ways to make our life easier (and those solutions reach almost everywhere thanks to globalization), etc.
It is as the recognized psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa says: human nature an behavior isn't infinitely malleable, there are several points of global agreement.
I know culture is much more that what I mentioned above; it includes languages, traditions, values, etc. just as Naiomi mentioned,and for the study of economics and politics we cannot take this approach, but it might be interesting that if we look at it in a more general way, we may find that global culture exists as human culture.
This page could explain with more details what this post is about.
