Do you think it’s important to retain distinct local dialects and languages in the face of a globally dominant language?

 @9KHV2XY from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, it's important to keep your own culture. Language and dialects are apart of culture, you should not have to conform or feel out of place because of your own culture and heritage. Globalization ruins the opportunity for unique cultures to shine through.

 @9KHRZCN from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9KHRQ9CRepublican from Kansas  answered…2yrs2Y

It is important to establish a diplomatic language to allow for ease in translation, but it should not be an established language to ensure local dialects and languages remain

 @9KHRMLC from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

Dialects are essential because they are part of our identity. They make us unique and give us a sense of belonging. Dialects also help us to express ourselves.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

 @9KHYHSG from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

Support the people struggling here in the US instead of funding issues in other countries

 @9KHYBDV from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

it would take away the good relations between countries

 @9KHXRHN from Georgia  agreed…2yrs2Y

I feel like sports are a good way for countries to connect on levels other than diplomatic, which makes things less tense

 @9KHVZKRIndependent  from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

The absence of international sports and entertainment events due to anti-globalization sentiments could weaken the sense of global unity by limiting interactions with with other cultures.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What's your stance on the claim that de-globalization might lead to more equal wealth distribution?

 @9H6SBN5  from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

The division of economies promotes interaction between them allowing for the money to be spread more evenly.

 @9H6SBN5  from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

It encourages economies to interact with one another and have competition, leading to more money spent while globilization denies the wealth to flow.

 @9H6SF58from Maine  answered…2yrs2Y

It encourages gloval buisness and may benefit economies in a few nations but consuwuences far out weigh benefits

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Could your local community survive an economic shift focused on regional trading rather than global?

 @9J4KYLQDemocrat from California  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9J4KJNH from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

Certainly not in the short term, if it were sudden. You can’t just amputate yourself from the world market, rather than making slow and gradual changes, and not expect your way of life to be drastically altered from the way it has been with the status quo.

Can you describe a situation where a global celebration or event caused a local tradition to be overlooked?

 @9KHS972Peace and Freedom from Kentucky  answered…2yrs2Y

Anti-globalization protests: Anti-globalization protests, such as the Seattle protests in 1999, are a rejectionist response to globalization. These protests argue that globalization benefits the wealthy and powerful at the expense of the poor and marginalized

How do you see the relationship between enjoying global media and maintaining your own cultural heritage?

 @9HP4Q34Independent from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

Media is no longer a platform of trust for the people anymore. There's too much exaggeration of the truth and not just plain truth. I enjoy more cultural heritage than global media.

How has your community adapted to global economic challenges while maintaining its local identity?

 @9LJC58Q  from California  answered…1yr1Y

Adapting to global economic challenges while maintaining a strong local identity can be a complex but achievable goal for communities that are wary of globalization. Here are some ways communities might approach this:

Supporting Local Businesses: Emphasizing the importance of patronizing locally owned businesses helps keep wealth circulating within the community and fosters a sense of connection between residents and local entrepreneurs. Encouraging consumers to buy local products and services can help mitigate the negative effects of globalization on small businesses.

What role do you think youth play in preserving local customs in the age of globalization?
