The acceleration of globalization has raised issues culture conformity and diversity throughout the world. These topics are argued drastically throughout the world. Apparently, issues relate to cultures will not simply defined by right or wrong because each coins have two sides and every culture have their own advantages and drawbacks. True, many people may claim that globalization has made this world smaller and the distinctions between nations or cultures are disappearing. But personally, I hold positive opinions about the cultural developments nowadays.…
It has also introduced younger generations to ‘skip around’ tactics that often suck out or irreversibly alter cultural traditions, losing century old principles, techniques, and strategies. This process has introduced business products to areas / locations that had no need for music or clothing. It has brought televisions and telephones into jungles where outside communication was once unheard of, and it has brought weapons and thieves to locations where natural resources were harvested according need and not value. Some consider globalization a miracle but it is clear to see how others consider it a cultural…
Following Spanish philosopher, José Ortega y Gasset (1923), Mannheim (1952[1928]: 296) explained that because of the lack of experience (which ‘facilitates their living in a changing world’) background that young people have, they might play a significant role in social change (See Berger, 1960, Merico, 2009). Additionally, as ‘outsiders’, young people is enable to accommodate new attitudes, behaviours and cultural patterns. Arulmani et al (2014) stated that youth have the capabilities “to expand their notions of who they are, who they can be, and who would they like to be, and set forth on the challenging task of navigating adulthood and (more specifically) their careers”; even so, not all of young people have the same opportunities to leverage these capabilities.…
In Globalization: The Making of World Society, Lechner talks about the processes that unfold in a wide range of fields such as sports, media, food industry, global economy, environment and religion due to globalization. He describes its effects on everyday experience all around the world and demonstrates how globalization is also generating new discourses, cultures, and state policies.

Cultural globalization is a term often used to describe the influence of one national culture on another. This is perhaps more prevalent in the United States than anywhere else in the world. Although America is often viewed as the villain with regard to globalization, it is clear by the diversity of cultural groups in America, that this nation is also the recipient of global culture. With such a diverse cultural population it’s foreseeable to think there will be differences of opinion when it comes to discussion cultural importance. For every society believes it is their culture that sets them apart and makes them unique. Differences in cultural beliefs often leads to the “Us vs Them” mentality, but it is also cultural beliefs that unite Americans.…

Globalization has become a highly debated concept around the world. Globalization can be simply understood as “a process of global economical, political and cultural integration” (thefreedictionary.com). Today the world has become global and integral and all of its major parts are completely interconnected like in a tiny village. Globalization is an everyday process that brings a cultural unification and changes people’s psychology. Globalization is happening almost everywhere in the world and having various impacts on people. It is a process that is bringing the world smaller and smaller and also imposing a change on people’s cultural level. People’s identity is changing because of globalization. Globalization has made the world we are living today more complex and culturally pluralized. Many people migrate to new places and are forced to adopt a new culture. However, their traditions might not fade away because they will always be part of their identity.…

This qualitative inquiry sets out to expose a range of philosophical, political and professional ideologies in line with two key questions which are highlighted from the very outset. The findings from this research provide evidence that the role of the professional can be both a mechanism through which youth professionals aim to ‘undo’ social exclusion (due to pre-determined social factors such as poverty) and also an agent who works against the system or ‘the odds’ in order to make sure that young people are included in mainstream society as much as possible.…

The unregulated operation of markets dislocates young people physically, psychologically and financially. The impact of uncertainty and insecurity on young individuals’ health and stress is well documented, as can be seen from the study conducted by Martin (2011) precarious work creates insecurity and hinders young people’s ability to sustain a comfortable lifestyle, while trying to establish a stable future. Moreover, precarious work affects communities, as this often leads to a lack of social engagement, this is indicated by declines in membership in voluntary associations and community organisations, trust, and social capital more generally. This may lead to changes in the structure of communities, as young people who lose their jobs due to factors such as being made redundant, may not be able to afford to live in the community. Furthermore, a young person’s education level has the potential to determine their vulnerability to precarious work, for instance younger workers are more likely to suffer from the effects of ‘cash in hand’ type jobs due to their lack of education and skills…

Young people a hundred years ago lived a sanctuary life in comparison to those of the current times. Today’s teenagers do not just hear of violent activities within their communities, but are also aware of what is taking place in their nations and the world at large (Shephard, 2011).
