diffusion of culture

Cultural diffusion is the process by which ideas, beliefs, customs, and technologies spread from one society to another. This can happen through various means, such as trade, migration, or communication. For example, when people move to a new place, they often share their traditions and practices, which can influence the local culture. Similarly, globalization allows for the rapid exchange of cultural elements, such as food, music, and fashion, across the world. This exchange can enrich societies but may also lead to cultural homogenization, where unique traditions start to diminish.
