The main idea of the article “Culture Blend in a
Global Age” is that technology has increased
the contact among the worlds people, changing
their cultures. When a culture’s background is
changed its also known as Popular Culture.
Popular Culture contains music, sports,
movies, fashions, and foods.
Culture Blend matters today because
globalization has changed the ways people
live, beliefs, attitudes, and communications. I
think that the three biggest ways that culture
blend is shown is fashion, foods, and music.
Cultural Blend has been shown through fashion all
throughout the world. For example, all countries have
been becoming more materialism. Materialism is the
tendency to consider material possessions and physical
comfort as more important than spiritual values.

Dasha Gauser


Fashion matters now because everyone uses it
today. Fashion is everywhere, when you look
at or met someone the first thing you notice
about them is their sense of style. Many people
these days are all materialistic and like the
more expensive and higher class brands.
I believe that it’s a good thing that culture are
becoming more Westernized because its
developing many countries and helping them
with their standard of living. Also its helping
governments work together toward the same
common goal. But I also believe that its
important for countries to still their own
uniqueness. They should all still have
