Describe how globalization has changed culture over time.

a) Identify ONE way in which popular and consumer culture became more global in the second half of the 20th century as a result of political and social changes.

The internet changed the lives of millions of people on planet earth. Today, everybody is connected around the world. The use of social media communications makes information travel instantly, which means that customs, culture, fashion, and traditions from one place can be known in the other corner of the planet, something that never happened in the past.

So political and social changes permeated from one place to other parts of the world One Great example of this could be the Arab Spring of 2011, in which Arab citizens of Egypt, Tunisia, and Lybia - mostly young people - took the streets to protest about political and economic conditions.

b) Identify ONE way in which entertainment shows the influence of globalized society.

TV shows or Internet series of on-demand digital companies have influenced the behavior and customs of other parts of the world because people can see how American people live or Western European countries live, and these people from other parts of the world want or aspire to have what other people have: technology, infrastructure, better education, freedom, fashion, malls, free trade, and more.

c) Explain ONE way in which consumer culture became globalized and went beyond national borders.

The advent of E-commerce has allowed people to buy anything, no matter where they live. That is exactly what globalization is. The possibility to stay connected worldwide, and to interact - including to shop - form every corner of the planet. Big e-commerce stores such as Amazon or Alibaba, have changed the way people but things on this planet.
