Some would say that our individual groups of cultures that survive in this world is what identifies us as individuals, however there are some contradictions. Throughout the decades of humans living in isolated cultures and developing their own languages there now seems to be the idea of a global culture that could be shared by us all through the process of sharing languages, cultures, developing new technologies that help us to connect with others globally, and from globalization. This method of living seems beneficial to help us see everyone as equal, however its outcome appears to be more detrimental than beneficial.

The whole reason of having multiple cultures and not conjoining them all to become one in the view of the fact that people simply do not want to be apart of other cultures. Even though a majority of the globe is proven to come close to this global culture due to technology there are some parts of the world that do not have access to things such as the internet, let alone social media. So if the rest of civilization were to just push these people into something that they did not agree to or they may have not even experienced they will not be incorporated into the world’s new found culture and, like the other small cultures and languages that are struggling to survive now, they will be voided from larger civilizations regardless if they even were strongly apart of a culture or …show more content…

There are no schools in Tunis that teach about the Berber culture, the government there pays little attention to it. This paltry culture is slowly dying because people simply do not want to acknowledge it, there seems to be better subjects that they could teach rather than spreading knowledge about this dying culture that can become extinct easily if not preserved properly. The people in Tunisia could easily be exposed to this culture, however they will not be, because yet again ,like in many other places in the world that are exposed to the same problem with small cultures existing in them but with no acknowledgement. People of Tunisia could gain more knowledge about the history of their land by learning about this small culture, however they are not learning about it and the outcome of
