Cultural destruction

Cultural destruction involves the deliberate or unintentional loss or erosion of a community’s traditions, language, artifacts, and ways of life. It often occurs through actions like war, colonization, or policies that suppress local customs, replacing them with external influences. This process can lead to the disappearance of unique identities and knowledge systems, threatening the diversity of human culture. Ultimately, cultural destruction diminishes the richness of human experience, impacting communities' sense of identity and continuity.
