Sarah sean-tracie-global culture and cultural flows
Cultural differentialism emphasizes that cultures are inherently different and only superficially impacted by global flows. It views culture as a clearly bounded entity defined by its own language, values, and norms. However, critics argue that cultures cannot avoid mixing as globalization increases interactions between them. While differentialism sees disruption from cultural mixing, other perspectives posit that cultures hybridize through combinations of external and internal influences, creating unique outcomes. The spread of global models and consumption of standardized products and services also drives cultural convergence, though local adaptations still occur.

Kwame Nkrumah was born in 1909 in the British colony of Gold Coast, Africa. He lived and studied in the United States and United Kingdom from 1935 to 1947 before returning to help lead Ghana's independence movement. Ghana became independent in 1957 with Nkrumah as its first president. However, he was overthrown in a 1966 CIA-backed coup that realigned Ghana with Western powers. Nkrumah was primarily concerned with the concept of neocolonialism, in which former colonial powers extract resources through indirect political means rather than direct control after independence.
