Globalization and culture of Bangladesh

Although globalization is mainly concerned with business trade and international relations. It is no longer viewed from that perspective alone. the tide of globalization is now encroaching into other spheres too. Satellite television channels and the internet are bringing all sorts of different cultures into our homes. Under the influence of globalization global cultures are steadily getting integrated with local cultures different cultures are constantly interacting. as an independent nation  we have our own traditional social values beliefs and attitudes .but in the globalizing process many foreign customs are intruding on them. This is having a profound impact on our young generation in particular. The intrusion of foreign culture is seen as a threat to our national cultural identity. Over the last years there have been significant changes in the life style of our young generation. They no longer feel proud of our rich cultural heritage. Every sphere of life such as food clothing entertainment etc is getting westernized. Hollywood is dominating the whole world. The remotest regions of our villages no longer enjoy our popular bangle songs and films. They are devouring Hindi films and songs and have taken those as the integral part of their life. They are foolishly imitating foreign culture in their life style and forgetting their root.
