One negative effect of globalization is that it is destroying varied cultures and decreasing diverse identities all around the world. Slowly the very diverse cultures and identities are dying out. We are left with the westernized world taking over the beliefs and ideals of most religions and cultures. Lots of groups are swallowed up in the excitement of trends and the other traps of globalization. Their own identity is eventually lost. One example of this is the Aboriginal groups of Canada. When European people came over they tried to assimilate the Aboriginals, and make them the same as Europeans. In the time period where they were trying to turn them into ‘model citizens’ the Aboriginals lost many of their traditions and cultural things.
