1.	Does globalisation lead to ‘cultural homo-genization’ or ‘cultural hetero-genization’ or both? Justify.

Globalisation leads to the rise of uniform culture known as cultural homogenization i.e. the influence of western culture. 3. The differences among powers remain the same despite the exchange of cultures. Hence it may be said that cultural exchange is only one of many processes.
