One world culture?

This week we explored what happens when two cultures live together. We had a scenario of a new village of 200 people being populated equally by two completely different cultures. The students then identified what they think would happen in that village within the first year, the first 5 years, and then how the village would look in 20 years time. It was fascinating to discuss how initial conflict would be strong but grow less over the 20 years. The cultures would blend together and the cultures would change, possibly creating a 'new' culture.

We then made the link to NZ as well as the blending of cultures worldwide. Are we becoming 'one culture' in our world? We started looking at globalization and will continue to do so next week.
