splodgeyAl Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 This applies for any country... But by putting others cultures equal and greater then their own, doesn't that erode the indigenous culture?I can see it could if a significant proportion of the population put others' culture above ours. Ours has been mostly usurped by American (contemporary) culture anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours has been mostly usurped by American (contemporary) culture anyway. We've been doing that for centuries, swapping that is. American contemporary culture is a lazy culture partly, as is contemporary England, so no surprise really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 This applies for any country...

Can you point to an example where "indigenous" British culture has been eroded by other cultures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritPat Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'm sat in an Italian suit at a Scandinavian desk using a computer produced in Asia, listening to music being sung by an American eating tuna that was caught somewhere near the Seychelles. When I'm done, I'll get into my German car and go home, eat something Indian then go to sleep snuggly in my Egyptian cotton bedding. I've got more foreign culture in my life than Angelina Jolie has foreign kids! Foreign produced consumer goods perhaps, you seem unable to discern the difference between a BMW and Wagner !

skinz Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 With the age of telecommunications/internet one could argue that crossing borders isn't necessary for cultures to be highly influenced or even change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why haven't you elaborated on how Native Americans eroded British culture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Now I'm properly confused:D When did Native American culture usurp British culture? It was an example in the sense it shows how one culture can be dominated by others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
