Write an essay discussing TWO of the effects listed in your notes. You should explain which effect is more

* Intro: Nowdays presence of globalism; positive and negative impact

* 1: The loss of national identity:

* 2: The undermining of values of a local culture

* Con: loss of national identity won

Nowdays, almost every culture is influenced by the globalism, which set, not only trends but future
development as well. What is the impact of the globalism and which spheres does it influence the most?

One of the effects is losing national identity, which means that people do not feel like members of their
cultural environment. That could even cause a destruction of traditions. Traditions are important for
learning about cultural history as well as pointing at our roots.

What is more, the globalism could also decrease the value of a local culture.
