As decades and centuries pass, cultures evolve and change as outside influences affect the interior. The changes, and some might say degradation, of these cultures are apparent everywhere, in every culture across the world. The changes can be also described as a melding of the world's cultures, in which different societies, trends, and ideas are shared across the world and integrated into the methods of the people.
I argue that this melding is not only important for the survival of our world, but a natural and appropriate evolution of society.
Firstly, the only way to combat and defeat the problems of the world, including poverty, hunger, and death, we must be able to understand how attempts across the world have worked or failed in order to solve the problems. Our world faces an unbelievable amount of problems, that are only growing.
The first way a society interacts is often through media. Media entertains, and can be universal in its message. Different societies can interact through media, and can come to common goals through the proliferation of messages displayed in mass media.
And when societies interact in a positive way, all can gain. It is worth the dissolution of certain aspects of a culture in order to save the rest of our world. Some might say that all we have is our history, but that cannot still be true in our modern world. We have come to a pivotal moment, and the melding of our media into one world media is necessary to save it.
Mass media will be our savior. The instantaneous combination of cultures through a television or the internet is an amazing thing, and should embraced. We cannot pretend that keeping a culture strong is worth the destruction of its citizens.
