Should we be afraid of mixing cultures?


1. One of the words used in recent years in the context of the development of globalism is the mixing of cultures. Basically, it means that people of one culture come to another country and bring with them their customs and traditions. These are mixed with indigenous customs and traditions until a completely new culture emerges. We can say that this is a smooth and practically natural process, but the truth is that in most people such development causes concern for several reasons.The first is the loss of national identity. We should not forget that we very often think that our culture is an important part of our personality, and that habit is important to us.

It is something that has shaped the ladder of our values and the moral compass since childhood. We determine whether a particular action is OK. This is one of the main pillars on which we rely.1 No wonder we resist intrusion. And, of course, there are historical experiences. Basically, every time something like this happened, it didn\’t work out for one of the cultures. See what happened to the indigenous peoples of Africa, America and Australia after white settlers arrived there. Indeed, some habits have taken over, but for 1 of them, it has always essentially meant extinction, and that\’s what we fear.

But the question is whether these fears are justified even in modern times. After all, today every country has its own laws that should prevent such things about organizations that are focused on the protection of cultural heritage. But people are worried about whether this protection is enoughIt is this fear that many people feel that underlies the xenophobia and racism that we often see in many people. In addition, experiments show that these are things that are strongly rooted in us. But that doesn\’t mean we shouldn\’t give up on them. In this case, it is always worth thinking about it properly before worrying.
