Cultural Diffusion
Cultural diffusion is the spreading out and merging of pieces from different cultures. These different cultures all have many diverse types of food, clothing and even languages that people love and enjoy every day. But with these different cultures coming to America, they are bound to be spread, which can be seen as a good thing and a bad thing. It is seemed to be a bad thing because a lot of people are scared to learn and be around different cultures because all they know is their own and may not be open to learning. Cultural diffusion can also be considered a bad thing because the original culture in the area is being somewhat washed away and minimally replaced in certain areas.
Although there are some difficulties with cultural diffusion, there are also good things such as learning more about the way other people live, work and survive. Different cultures have different ways of living that make them unique, and to me, it adds character to America and allows for people that may never have the chance to leave America a glimpse of what is outside of the country. Cultural diffusion is also amazing because it allows you to fully understand how your culture is different from others and may make you appreciate yours a little more.
At Northeast Library, we have many books about different cultures like African culture to Asian cultures like How to Build a Museum by Tonya Bolden, which is about the African American museum to books such as Adventures in Asian Art by Sue DiCicco. We even have books in different languages including Chinese, French, Korean, Spanish and more. So, why not learn more about a different culture and open your eyes to some of the wonderful things that can come from opening up and looking around you!
