Cultural Imperialism

In anthropology, sociology, and ethics, cultural hegemony imposes on another nondominant
group various elements of its own society through a traditionally politically or economically
dominant group. It is cultural in that the customs, rituals, faith, language, social and moral
standards and other elements of the imposed culture are distinct from the economic and political 
structures that form the other culture, although they are also closely linked to them. It is a form
of imperialism in that by either changing or removing elements of the culture ofthe nondominant
nation, the imposing nation forcibly extends the power of its way of life over the other society.

Cultural Hybridity
Cultural hybridity is the endeavor of two or more distinct societies to maintain a sense of 
harmony between traditions, beliefs, and customs. In cultural hybridization, a new identity is
created that represents a dual sense of being that exists both within the margins of nationality,
race, ethnicity, class, and linguistic diversity and beyond them. For example, many immigrants
face this process as they strive to adapt new cultures and perspectives while keeping on to their
sociocultural values or beliefs that are indigenous. Language, which can be used to create an
identity, to adapt to new cultural contexts and to make sense of new experiences or any
combination of these characteristics, is an essential resource.
Cultural Globalization
In order to broaden and intensify social ties, cultural globalization refers to the transmissi
on of  concepts,meanings and values across the world. This phase is defined by the widespread
consumption of cultures that have been disseminated through the Internet, the media of popular
culture, and international travel. This has contributed to product trade and colonization cycles
that have a longer history of taking cultural significance across the globe. Cultural circulation
helps individuals to engage in common social relationships that cross national and regional
boundaries. On a material level, the development and expansion of such social ties is not merely 
observed. Cultural globalization requires the creation of common norms and awareness with
which individuals associate their cultural identities, both person and collective. This brings
growing connectivity between overview and outline
Global monoculture
Monoculture refers to the growth of a single plant species over a large area of
land. Examples of monocultures in farming include Russet potatoes, certain types of corn, and
soybeans. Monoculture is also seen in lawns, ornamental plants, and even forest that are
replanted after mining or other activity.
” The medium is the message”
“The medium is the message” as a phrase sums up a much deeper communication theory,
which is that the medium through which we choose to communicate holds as much, if not more,
value than the message itself. At first, this concept might seem vague and indeed a lot to grasp.
But I can honestly say that understanding the meaning behind these words revolutionized the
way I approach Web design; not from a technical or procedural standpoint, mind you, but from a
fresh mental perspective that provided clarity on how to approach and design for the Web.
