The Importance Of Cultural Changes In Culture

Culture over a hundred or even sixty years ago is very different from the cultures we see today. Granted different nationalities and nations still have their differences, but there has been a global change among them. That cultural change includes not only art and music, but also sciences and technological advances. Examples being the progression of phones in the last 33 years, from the bulky MOTOROLA DYNATAC 8000X in 1983 to the modern flip phone (The Evolution of Cell Phone Design Between 1983-2009). There were numerous transitional designs that lead from one type of phone to the next, making the use of other countries resources was imperative for this large scaled change to occur in such a short time frame. With these types of changes,

This large-scale change is due to other countries apart from our own. That advancement in technology is the primary reason for globalization in those decades as well. This change occurs through both information and communication technology, either of which are becoming more compact or of a higher quality. In regards to transportation technology, most mechanical transport devices are getting larger and cheaper. Information technology has allowed for easily accessible data and communication over the internet and through the World Wide Web (The role of Technology in Globalization). This lets people from any outreach of the globe have access to those resources and has led to trends being developed through that shared information. Artists are able to communicate with one another through computers and instant messaging due to communication technology, so that they can post their creations for people worldwide to view. Some pick up styles from other nations and adhere it to their own, so that they begin developing a mixed cultural artistic expression. This affects traditional cultures because of the desensitizing of their own culture and the influence of other cultures on their

With Globalization there would still be different nationalities and traditions, there just will be changes with modern artistic styles and other advancements. So that people will be more exposed to opportunities so that they may reach their full potential with their goals. Advancement isn’t a negative condition, it enables people to help the environment and the development of the world. Music in the information age has been influenced by new technology advancements. Electronic music was created in the later 1950s, because of the technological ability to splice and reverse taped sounds, the use of wave generators, and mechanically artificial noise (Feiro). These artistic and musical advancements were achieved because of information and communication technology advancements, 19th to 20th century modernism, and the world-wide exchange of globalism. So to conclude, I believe that changing cultural traditions and norms are essential for the progression of development. That there will be more opportunities for new creative influences and trends, as well as enabling people to have access to those
