Social media invades cross border culture

 

Social media and internet has invaded cross border cultural values.

Social media and the internet have greatly increased the ease and speed of communication and information sharing across borders, which can lead to a blending of cultural values and the exchange of ideas between different societies. This has the potential to create a more connected and globally aware society, where different cultures can learn from one another and find common ground.

On the other hand, the increased access to information and global connectivity brought by social media and the internet can also lead to the spread of misinformation, stereotypes, and harmful cultural appropriation. It can also result in the erosion of traditional cultural practices and values, as people become more influenced by the global cultural norms that they see on social media.

Additionally, the widespread use of social media and the internet can also lead to a homogenization of culture, as people around the world are exposed to the same images, ideas, and products. This can create a sense of cultural loss or displacement for some individuals and communities, as their traditional ways of life and customs are replaced by globalized cultural practices.

This cross border trespassing would cause to lose ones' identity , originality, cultural heritage and historical evolution of different societies.Though this may suit to some societies but those who have been rich in their values, norms and pride of their history and nationalism will stand to incur great loss by this global cultural invasion.

In some countries, the governments have regulations to limit the access of social media and internet to preserve the cultural and moral values of the society. As a result, the access to information and free speech can be restricted.

Overall, the impact of social media and the internet on cross-border cultural values is complex and multifaceted. While it has the potential to promote greater understanding and cultural exchange, it also has the potential to contribute to the erosion of traditional cultural practices and values.
