The author argues that a single global culture will likely emerge within 50 years due to increasing globalization. Globalization is spreading ideas, capital, technology, and cultural elements worldwide. As evidence, most people now own smartphones and use the same apps like Facebook and TikTok. English is becoming the dominant global language for business and education. Food, fashion, and styles are also becoming increasingly uniform worldwide as people share and consume the same foods, clothes, and cultural trends across borders. This convergence of technologies, languages, and cultural goods will likely lead to a single overarching global culture within 50 years as local traditions are replaced by ubiquitous global practices and English.

Does globalisation mean we will become one culture in a couple of years?
This is the most discussed topic all over the world nowadays. In my own words, I would explain globalisation as increase of economic, political and social relations between countries. It is associated with the global spread of ideas, capital, technology and elements of culture. First of all, I would like to share my opinion over mobile phones. At this time, most of us has modern mobile phones – iphones or smartphones, where we use internet every day and exactly the same applications – Facebook, Instagram, even Tik Tok, where we share images, videos, music and news. It means we have so many people on the earth identical to us, doing the same things in the same time. In addition, I would like to express my thoughts over global language. As we grow and start studying, everyone, especially our parents say we need to learn a few foreign languages. Children all over the world start speaking Chinese, Spanish, French, Russian and the most spoken language – English. English has become the dominant language for the world of business, in schools and universities and in the social network. This way we didn’t appreciate our mother language and we forget where we came and started from. Finally, I would like to affect the things called “global culture”. The first thing is food. These days people eat and try every kind of food, without going to another country. Every kind of pizza, pasta, Chinese food or coffee and different types of drinks are available in every supermarket and restaurant. The other thing, in my opinion , is fashion. Every day when I go out I see people wearing identical clothes – the way they are dressed looks the same on every person, especially for teenagers. For example there is sneakers, high waist jeans, short T-shirts and a lot of make-up on faces. In conclusion, I would like to say that there’s a big chance we will become one global culture in 50 years’ time. The reason is that in everyday life we are so identical, doing the same things, eating, drinking and wearing the same style, speaking mostly English , so that we have forgotten to appreciate the native and distinctive things for us.
