While there are good arguments and valid points about globalization having a very negative impact on cultural conservation, I feel that globalization can actually help better cultural awareness, understanding, and acceptance of others across the world. The presence of sateillte television, world-wide-websites and cable television enables us to just turn on the television and watch travel programmes that explore that lifestyles, rituals and traditions of people in remote parts of the world we never even knew existed. If it weren't for globalization and the presence of media such as the aboved mentioned, we would never know about other cultures and would only be confined to the knowledge of traditions in our own country.
