- 20. Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness of the world, which is brought about by the exchange of goods, people, and ideas. One of the most significant effects of globalization is the spread of Western cultural values. Through the impact of media, education, and tourism, many non-Western societies have abandoned their traditional norms & practices in favor of western ones. The diverse cultural practices are replaced by a more dominant culture. At the same time, the increasing contact among cultures promotes the emergence of new norms and practices. So, diverse cultural values come together to create new values. Moreover, the increased contact & exchange between nations has led to a greater understanding and appreciation of different cultures. The diverse cultural norms and values live together harmoniously. Cultural Norms in the Era of Globalization

Editor's Notes
- UNESCO's role, vision and results. UNESCO is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizati Culture can be defined as all the ways of life including arts, beliefs and institutions of a population that are passed down from generation to generation. Culture has been called "the way of life for an entire society." As such, it includes codes of manners, dress, language, religion, rituals, art.
- The word “norm” generally refers to something that is usual, typical, standard, or expected.
- Cultural norms and values are passed down to people through their families, friends, and acquaintances with the expectation that they will be adopted by the person, which shapes society as a whole. Punctuality is of huge importance in Japanese society and is a sign of respect. In Nigeria, men may put their left hand on your shoulder while shaking hands with you, while in America that would be considered too forward.
- If someone breaks the law, there is consequences In some parts of the United States, eating with elbows on the dinner table is considered rude. Mores include gossiping, stealing, lying, bullying, and breaking a promise. Mores distinguish the difference between right and wrong, while folkways draw a line between right and rude. While folkways may raise an eyebrow if violated, mores dictate morality and come with heavy consequences. One of the strongest taboos in all modern societies is against incest. A custom is a traditional and widely accepted way of behaving or an action that is specific to a particular society. 1. exclusion from a society or group. "the family suffered social ostracism"
- Different cultures greet different people in different ways. In a new culture, you’ll need to figure out the cultural norms around greeting other people. For example, in the West, it is common to shake hands, while in many Asian countries, you may be required to bow to people. Similarly, a kiss on the cheek might be used in some cultures, but invasion of privacy in others.
- The normative family structure refers to the societal expectation of what a typical or ideal family should look like. It is often based on traditional gender roles and a nuclear family model, where a married heterosexual couple lives together with their biological children.
- There are many norms around eating at the table, and they differ between cultures. For example, sitting at the floor to eat is common in some Asian cultures, while it would be considered rude in Western culture. There are also expectations about what you can and cannot eat, depending on the culture.
- Overall it is seen that the men in the Philippines hold a higher rank than women in regards to gender roles. The men are expected to have more freedom and provide for their families, while the women usually stay at home and complete chores as well as take care of the elderly and children of the household.
- Personal space refers to the physical distance that people like to keep between themselves and strangers. In Western cultures, we like a lot of personal space. However, in non-Western cultures, personal space is a lot smaller, and people often sit or stand quite closely to one another. Similarly, physical touch differs between cultures. For example, patting on the shoulder is expected in some cultures but not in others.
- A social hierarchy is a type of ranking system about who is idealized and lauded in a society, and who is less respected. Social hierarchy is often based on wealth, social skills, or strength (the wealthier and stronger you are, the higher you are in the hierarchy). but in some countries, it may be based on age, wisdom, or religiosity. Gender roles may also determine social hierarchy in patriarchal societies.
- In Western cultures, fashion tends to be seen as a positive form of self-expression, and people dress in ways that cohere with their personal identity. However, other cultures often expect conformity in what’s worn as a sign of respectability.
- In some cultures, religion is considered a central pillar of the culture, and the two are inseparable. If you don’t conform to the religion, you may be well outside of the cultural norms. In contrast, the West tends to see religion as a private matter, and your religious identity may be less of a factor impacting whether or not you are considered a normative member of the culture.
- Whether you’ve got high cultural capital is not only influenced by your grasp of a language, but also the dialect, accent, and ways of addressing others.
- There are many examples of social norms in terms of public behavior, including greeting people upon meeting them, apologizing for wronging another person, giving up a seat on the train for an elderly person, and opening the door for others as a courtesy.
