Globalization and Culture (David Held)

David Held views globalization as the process where the world becomes increasingly interconnected through trade, technology, and communication, leading to greater influence across countries. Culture, in this context, refers to shared beliefs, values, and practices that evolve as different societies interact. Held emphasizes that globalization blurs traditional boundaries, creating a more integrated global culture while also raising questions about local identities and sovereignty. This interconnectedness offers both opportunities for collaboration and challenges in maintaining diverse cultural identities amid a rapidly changing global landscape.
