Globalization and Middle Eastern Culture

Paper Summary:

This paper defines globalization and focuses the differences and similarities between the concepts of globalization and westernization. It discusses how it is the identification of westernization with globalization that has created the fear of this proposed interaction in developing countries and in particular the Middle-East.

From the Paper:

"An example of the way that globalization is already having an impact on cultures in the Middle East and other regions of the world is the reduced emphasis on native language and the predominance of English as the universal language. It should be remembered that besides its function as a communicative tool, language is also a repository and a conveyor of cultural traditions. The fear is that traditional languages might die out which will inevitably have a far-reaching affect on cultural heritage and transmission. This fear is express in the following analysis and study."
