Cultural fragmentation

Cultural fragmentation refers to the division and separation within a society's cultural identity, often resulting from diverse influences such as globalization, technology, and migration. Instead of a unified culture, people identify with various subcultures, beliefs, and interests, leading to a more personalized but less cohesive cultural landscape. This can enrich society by celebrating diversity but may also create challenges in communication, shared values, and social cohesion. As individuals increasingly connect with niche communities, understanding and empathy across different cultural groups can become more complex.
