Multiculturism

Our world becomes globalized. This process is close to its end. All cultures lose their originality and identity. People watch the same TV programs, eat food, produced by the same mega corporations, etc. people of different countries find more and more common in their everyday life and all differences now seem occasional and accidental. Besides, all differences are insignificant in comparison with common features. People become unified and similar to each other. There are advantages and disadvantages of this process. Among advantages are the gradual vanishing of all borders, easiness in finding mutual understanding, etc. Among disadvantages we can mention the vanishing of national languages and cultural diversity. All advantages and disadvantages are questionable, there are many views on this problem and different people have different ideas about these changes. Antiglobalists try hard to oppose these inevitable changes. All their attempts are useless and ineffective. Globalization is an integral part of the overall development of our world. Trying to stop the process of globalization means trying to stop development, which is impossible. Development is comparable with perpetual motion machine, which is impossible to stop.
