Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. The Impact of Globalization on National Cultural Identity Globalization has profoundly transformed societies around the world, influencing various aspects of life, including culture. While it brings numerous advantages, it also poses significant challenges to national cultural identities.   One of the primary benefits of globalization is the exchange of cultural ideas and practices. Through global communication and travel, people can experience diverse cultures, leading to a greater understanding and appreciation of differences. This cultural exchange can enrich national identities, introducing new art forms, music, cuisine, and traditions that can coexist with local customs. For example, a traditional Vietnamese dish may incorporate spices from India, creating a unique fusion that reflects the blending of cultures.   However, globalization also presents serious threats to cultural identity. (I) The dominance of global brands and medía can overshadow local traditions and practices. Many communities find themselves losing their unique cultural traits as Western ideals and lifestyles permeate their societies. (II) For instance, young people in various countries may favor Western pop music over traditional music, leading to a decline in local art forms and practices. (III) This cultural homogenization can result in the erosion of languages, customs, and identities that have been preserved for generations. Furthermore, globalization can lead to cultural appropriation, where elements of a marginalized culture are adopted by outsiders without understanding or respecting their significance. This often leads to misrepresentation and commercialization, causing further harm to the original culture. (IV)   In conclusion, while globalization fosters cultural exchange and can enhance national identities, it also threatens the uniqueness of those identities. Balancing the benefits and challenges of globalization is crucial to preserving cultural heritage while embracing the interconnectedness of the modern world. Question 4.
