   We are in the middle of a worldwide change in cultures – a transformation of entertainment, business and politics. Popular culture has crossed borders in ways we have never seen before. According to social scientists, our world is (shrinking). In Japan, people have become fanatics of flamenco and there
are hundreds of dance schools around the country. In the last few years, dozens of top Spanish flamenco artists have given performances there. It’s a huge and growing market. Meanwhile, in Denmark people have discovered a new interest in Italian food, and pasta imports have grown fivefold over the last decade. And the classic American blonde Barbie doll now comes in about 30 national varieties, including new additions this year of Austrian and Moroccan.

   How do people feel about globalisation? It depends to a large extent on where they live and how much money they’ve got. However, globalisation, as one report has stated, ‘is a reality, not a choice’. Humans have always developed commercial and cultural connections, but these days computers, the Internet, mobile phones, cable TV and cheaper air transport have accelerated and complicated these connections. Nevertheless, the basic dynamic is the same: Goods move. People move. Ideas move. And cultures change. The difference now is the speed and extent of these changes. Television had 50 million users after thirteen years; the Internet had (the same number) after only five years. But now that more than one fifth of all the people in the world speak at least some English, critics of globalisation say that we are one big ‘McWorld’.
