Culture, acculturation and cultural globalization

Abstract

In all meanings, culture is the defining element of a people, it helps it grow, and sometimes it magnifies or minimizes it in relation with other nations. Acculturation involves the partial acquisition of another culture, and interculturality, acceptance and respect of another culture. Cultural globalization means the dissolution of indigenous cultures, basically their digesting in the "great global cultural paste" which, unfortunately, is timeless, ahistorical, without originality, artificially constructed and based on cultural falsity and mendacity.
