Integrating good things from other cultures will continue, as it always has even during the most nationalistic times in history.
The current nationalism (rather mild by historical comparison) is a counter reaction to opening up and "equalizing" everything.
I don't want a world culture where everything is the same everywhere. It's boring and the good/quirky/interesting traits of individual nations get lost.
- JoeAltmaier 8y agoMelancholy thoughts about how the world used to be are not helpful for the individual, anywhere. Sure, lets put half the world back into poverty because it's not boring! I know that wasn't meant literally. We want to keep song and food and fashion distinctive, kind of like how Renaissance Fairs simulate the 1400's but without the plague and smells. But isn't that what's happening in the world anyway? Meet people from Africa or India, they are very very different from where I grew up and still very interesting. I don't think that will be lost, no matter how many internet cartoons we share.
