Social Change and Development in India: Globalisation and Social Change

Question:
Select a statement which describes "Glocalization of culture".
Options:
The local culture gets globalized which also gets influenced by the commercial interest in globalization.
The domination of the global culture over the local cultures.
The resistance of local culture against the national culture.
The homogenisation of the local culture by the nation-state.
Correct Answer:
The local culture gets globalized which also gets influenced by the commercial interest in globalization.
Explanation:
A central contention is that all cultures will become similar, that is homogeneous. Others argue that there is an increasing tendency towards glocalisation of culture. Glocalisation refers to the mixing of the global with the local. It is not entirely spontaneous. Nor is it entirely delinked from the commercial interests of globalisation.
