Cultural diversity refers to the existence of multiple cultures or cultural differences within a society. It is diminished by monoculture or homogenization of cultures. Hawaii provides an example where its indigenous Hawaiian culture was once diverse but became largely replaced by Western culture after European conquest. While globalization can negatively impact world cultural diversity by spreading one dominant culture, cultural diversity is valued by many as different cultures respecting each other's differences.

![Cultural diversity
Cultural diversity is the quality of diverse or different cultures, as opposed to monoculture, as in the
global monoculture, or a homogenization of cultures, akin to cultural decay. For example, before Hawaii
was conquered by Europeans, the culturally diverse Hawaiian culture existed in the world, and
contributed to the world's cultural diversity. Now Hawaii has been westernized; the vast majority of its
culture has been replaced with Western or American culture. The phrase cultural diversity can also refer
to having different cultures respect each other's differences.[citation needed] The phrase cultural diversity is
sometime misused to mean the variety of human societies or cultures in a specific region, or in the
world as a whole; but these phenomenon are multiculturalism rather than cultural diversity. The
culturally destructive action of globalization is often said to have a negative effect on the world's cultural
diversity.

The document discusses the decline of cultural diversity globally. It defines cultural diversity as encompassing factors like age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, class, abilities, origin, location, politics, size, and appearance that influence human experiences. Some indicators of decline are the loss of languages, with half spoken by few people and one disappearing every two weeks, due to issues like globalization, politics, economics, and language attitudes. Causes mentioned include large companies threatening diversity and traditional cultures through patents. Implications involve loss of identity and knowledge, while ethics perspectives presented support diversity and cultural rights. Suggested solutions center around education, understanding, protecting smaller languages, and empowering policies.Word Bank Poetry

The document discusses key concepts related to cultural integration and transition. It defines diaspora as populations dispersed from their homelands and living elsewhere. Acculturation is the gradual absorption of one culture into another through learning a new language and customs. Assimilation is fully entering social and cultural aspects of the dominant culture. During transition periods between cultures, minority groups may experience feelings of insecurity, alienation and unhappiness as their traditions are lost but new ways are not fully adopted.Poverty

Poverty is defined as the lack of choices, opportunities, and basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, and land. It means low incomes and inability to access goods and services necessary for survival with dignity. Poverty increases risks of homelessness, hunger, and death for children under 5. Historically, poverty was accepted as inevitable until industrialization and modern agriculture allowed for mass production and greater food yields to support more people at a comfortable standard of living.Loss of genetic diversity

Impact of Environment on Loss of Genetic Diversity and Speciation
Genetic variation describes naturally occurring genetic differences among individuals of the same species. This variation permits flexibility and survival of a population in the face of changing environmental circumstances. Consequently, genetic variation is often considered an advantage, as it is a form of preparation for the unexpected. But how does genetic variation increase or decrease? And what effect do fluctuations in genetic variation have on populations over time?

Cultural diversity is the study of different cultures and the differences between them. It considers aspects like respecting communities, tolerance, discrimination, and human rights. Cultural diversity can be studied anywhere and anytime, and how discrimination affects humans depends on how communities understand and support each other in the same or different areas, as seen in examples like Burma and Kosovo. The United Arab Emirates promotes cultural diversity through understanding, love, peace, and support between all cultures in the country.Chapter 2 culture

The document discusses how humans belong to one species but have developed diverse cultural patterns based on different environmental conditions and experiences over time. It explains that early humans formed social groups for survival and within these communities common behaviors and habits emerged. As groups encountered varying environments, cultural variations developed. The key idea is that while cultural practices differ significantly between groups, all cultures share some common elements, like the family unit. Cultural diversity occurs both between societies in different countries and within societies.Diana MODULE-3-UCSP.pptx............................

Culture refers to the shared beliefs, values, behaviors, and objects that form a society's way of life. It includes both material objects and non-material aspects like traditions and knowledge shared between generations. Culture shapes how members of a society perceive the world, determine what is considered good or bad, and structure how they interact with each other through language, norms, and other symbols. Societies provide the context for cultures to be created and shared through patterns of social interaction.More Related Content

This document discusses cultural changes and the processes by which they occur. It defines key terms like diffusion, assimilation, and acculturation. Diffusion is the spread of cultural items from one place to another through things like migration, trade or contact. Assimilation occurs when a minority group adopts the traditions of the dominant culture. Acculturation is when two cultures influence each other through continuous interaction. Cultural changes can result in cultural losses as old traits are replaced, but some cultures employ methods of cultural maintenance to preserve traditions.Hybridization group four

This document discusses hybridization in the Caribbean region over the past 500 years. It describes how racial, ethnic, cultural and religious mixing between indigenous peoples, Europeans, Africans and Asians has produced new creole societies and cultures. It provides examples of how new mixed-race populations like Mestizos and Mulattoes emerged, and how religions and languages syncretized over time through contact and interaction between different groups in the Caribbean. Creole languages developed as immigrants spoke different languages, and cultural forms changed through processes like enculturation, assimilation, transculturation and interculturation as Caribbean societies became increasingly diverse.multiculturalism, social, and personality processes

Culture defines a group's values, beliefs, and customs. It allows people to develop a unique identity within society but also connects people through shared interests. While some cultural aspects differ greatly between groups, technology has increased global connections and influenced many cultures. However, cultural differences can still cause social issues if one group does not agree or understand another's values. The essay discusses how an individual's culture shapes their identity and worldview.ELECTIVE 1 MULTICULTURAL GROUP 1

Culture is learned behavior that is shared and transmitted within groups. It encompasses symbols, values, and practices that are taught to children through enculturation. While culture provides social solidarity and identity, it can also lead to ethnocentrism and conflict between groups with different cultural traditions. Culture is dynamic and adaptive, though some practices may be considered maladaptive or in violation of human rights. Modern forces of globalization are increasing contact between cultures worldwide.LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY ENGLISH 2

Linguistic and cultural diversity refers to the variety of languages and cultures that exist within a society or community. This includes differences in languages spoken, as well as diverse cultural practices, traditions, beliefs, and values. Linguistic diversity is evident in places like Switzerland where different languages dominate in different regions. Cultural diversity is on display in Brazil during annual celebrations like Carnival, where each region expresses its culture through unique music, dance, costumes, and traditions. Managing linguistic and cultural diversity can present challenges such as language barriers or loss of cultural identity, but it also provides opportunities such as richer perspectives and economic and community benefits from cultural exchange.Running Head ETHNOCENTRISM AND CULTURAL RELATIVISM .docx
