Abstract

Cultural diversity and its preservation are greatly influenced by today’s ever-changing world. With advances in technology, content and information from the more rapidly changing modern world can reach nearly any culture on the globe. Each and every community experiences changes over time, but the idea of globalization and modernization is now reaching many more communities than ever before, and consequently is causing more rapid change than ever before. Some of these more specific external influences are pop culture, tourism, and mass media. Our main purpose was to explore the importance of culture and its preservation. We were also interested in investigating the positive or negative impact on culture from outside influences.
