Cultural Dominance

Cultural dominance refers to the influence certain cultures have over others, often leading to changes in beliefs, practices, and values. This can happen through various means, such as globalization, media, and economic power, where one culture's ideas and norms become widespread and accepted, sometimes overshadowing local traditions. For example, Western media and consumer culture can significantly impact lifestyles in other parts of the world. This process can result in cultural change, as societies adapt to or resist these dominant influences, leading to a blend of old and new cultural elements.
