Sample 1:

Globalisation is the result of societies becoming more and more similar as mass communication and transportation expand. But the fear that it will result in the complete loss of cultural identity is not illogical. I believe that as societies adopt global trends, traditions particular to each culture are at risk of fading away.

One way in which globalization destroys cultural identity is through the influence of Western values and lifestyles. The spread of Western media, fashion, and consumerism often dominates local traditions. Younger generations, influenced by global trends, may find it easier to relate to international icons than to their own cultural heritage. For example, I have seen men and women preferring western outfits like skirt, trousers instead of the ethnic dresses like sarees, dhoti, etc.

Then, the similarity of products and services worldwide decreases the uniqueness of local goods. Global brands offer uniform experiences, replacing the charm of traditional, locally crafted items. As a result, communities may lose pride in their unique creations, contributing to the loss of cultural identity. Also, language, an essential aspect of cultural expression, is affected by globalization. As English becomes the global language, native languages face the risk of destruction.

Finally, while globalization encourages global connectivity and economic growth, it threatens the safety of cultural identity. The power of Western values, the standardization of products, and the generalization of language contribute to a world where distinct cultural expressions are at risk of being lost. So, balancing between global influences and the preservation of local traditions is important to maintaining the variety that makes each society special. 

Sample 2:

Globalization, the connection of societies through mass communication and transport, has undoubtedly brought the world closer. Some individuals worry that cultural identity will eventually completely disappear as a result of it. However, in my opinion, globalization promotes a global exchange of ideas and practices and provides an opportunity for cultures to develop and adapt to a more interconnected world. I will discuss this point of view in the upcoming paragraphs.

Firstly, globalization is the celebration and preservation of cultural diversity. As societies become more exposed to different traditions and customs, there is a growing appreciation for the uniqueness of each culture. For instance, while fast-food chains may be prevalent worldwide, local culinary traditions, like Spanish paella valenciana, Indian butter chicken, Korean bibimbap, Japanese sushi, etc., continue to flourish. Secondly, the exchange of ideas and technologies can enhance rather than ruin cultural identity. Through globalization, communities can integrate advancements while still maintaining their fundamental values and traditions. This adaptability allows cultures to evolve, ensuring their relevance in a changing world.

The fear of cultural identity loss often disregards the strength of local communities. In the face of globalization, many societies actively work to preserve and promote their cultural heritage. Festivals, language programs, and local initiatives help build up a sense of identity and pride, ensuring that traditions are passed down to future generations. Moreover, educational programs, cultural exchanges, and international partnerships demonstrate how globalization can be a force for cultural celebration rather than homogenization.

In conclusion, rather than leading to the total loss of cultural identity, globalization can be a stimulant for cultural enhancement and understanding. Therefore, I think it provides an opportunity for societies to embrace diversity, adapt positively to change, and actively preserve their unique traditions. With a balanced approach, globalization can coexist with the flourishing of cultural identities around the world.

Sample 3:

Globalisation has become integrated through the global network of trade, transportation, communication and immigration. It is feared by many to eventually bring an end to cultural identity. However, I am convinced that not only will globalization help retain and improve local cultures, but it also will strengthen cultural bonds between distant communities.

First of all, people can realise how they are different from others in distant lands, which may lead to their interest in learning about other cultures. This means every culture will have to preserve and present its unique features such as local cuisine or craftsmanship in order to maintain foreign interest in itself and have something to offer in competition with other communities. As a result, a sense of cultural identity can be reinforced – even rekindled and restored where it has already been lost.

Secondly, cultures in different parts of the world familiarise themselves with the ceremonies, food and clothes of other people, it is highly likely that they will begin to improve on their own, thus developing more efficient ways of life while retaining their original characteristics.

Finally, although some people might think that the aforementioned “trade” of cultural features can doom the unique identity of a culture, they need to consider that this will not necessarily result in local people abolishing their culture and fully embracing another. Instead, the communication and exchange involved in globalisation can improve understanding and tolerance in the international community, which certainly can help with the conservation of older cultures and their sense of identity.

In conclusion, I think if the positive aspects of globalisation are considered and stressed, it is not likely to pose any threats to the cultural identity of local communities and will instead contribute to it in a variety of ways.

Mass communication and transport are growing at a faster rate and provide an opportunity to become a change in international globalisation. Because of this incredible growth we have to limit the world, able to reach people in a smaller span of time and can see and roam all over the globe. Some people think this change is not good for their culture and are strongly against it. In my opinion, change plays a vital role in someone's growth.

If we look at the history, we accepted many changes in our day-to-day life which made our life comfortable and easy to live. We are in the 21st century and we have a solution for almost everything. For example, a patient who is suffering from a severe disease and not getting better treatment in one place, he would have the option to get treatment in another place, maybe in some other country. We get this information via internet, TV, news. This is how people are connected and helping each other to survive and excel in their life.

Yet to another part of above, a culture cannot be represented by the dress someone wears, the language what someone speaks, it’s just a lifestyle which is acceptable by someone and helps lead their life all with happiness. Though humans have different characteristics, they have the same emotions and feelings towards their own family member. They can act differently in some situations, but the pain and sorrows are almost same in all human being because that's God given.

Therefore, I do not agree that mass communication and transport have any negative impact on culture, it is up to each individual to decide what changes they want to incorporate into their life. Hence, criticising other cultures and not giving human value can bring disaster and put us in soup.

Sample 5:

We are living in a globalization era and the whole world has become a global village. Due to this there are no barriers to communicate with each other as well as travel to different places. Some people argue that the identity of any culture will be totally lost due to globalization. I totally agree with this statement and numerous reasons behind it.

Firstly, every nation has its own cultural value which is spoiling day by day due to globalization. When people migrate from developing countries to developed countries then they see different cultures and lifestyles which are followed by local people. As result of it, they try to adopt them to survive easily in that country. That’s why the own identity of a person or cultural values will not exist. For instance, mostly people adopt western culture such as living relationship, live apart from family. So that people’s native culture will definitely affected in future.

Furthermore, persons when they travel to other countries then they communicate with other in foreign language because they think it put great impression on local person. Native language of that person will suffer a lot. For example, developing countries persons such as Indian also face this problem when they communicate to other countries. However, globalization helps to communicate worldwide so with the help of this people expand their business as well as gain knowledge about other countries.

To conclude, globalization help to improve the economy of world but it also loss personal identity as well as culture values.

Sample 6:

Globalization has undoubtedly brought the world closer together, leading to increased cultural exchange and integration. However, I do not believe that it will inevitably lead to the total loss of cultural identity. Instead, I argue that globalization can coexist with the preservation of unique cultural identities.

Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that globalization has indeed led to the spread of certain cultural elements, such as language, food, and fashion, across the globe. This has resulted in a more homogenized global culture in some aspects. However, it is essential to recognize that cultures are dynamic and adaptable. Rather than disappearing, they have the capacity to evolve and incorporate external influences while retaining their core traditions and values.

Furthermore, the advancement of technology and communication has also provided a platform for the preservation and promotion of diverse cultural identities. People can now easily access and share information about their heritage, traditions, and customs, leading to a heightened awareness and appreciation of cultural diversity. This has led to the emergence of global movements aimed at preserving and celebrating cultural heritage.

Moreover, governments and organizations have recognized the importance of safeguarding cultural identities in the face of globalization. Efforts to protect and promote traditional practices, languages, and arts have been increasingly prioritized through policies and initiatives. This demonstrates a commitment to maintaining cultural diversity in the midst of global integration.

In conclusion, while globalization has undoubtedly impacted the way cultures interact and evolve, I believe that it does not necessarily lead to the total loss of cultural identity. Instead, it presents an opportunity for cultures to thrive and coexist in a more interconnected world.

Sample 7:

Nowadays, people start to be cautious about the effects of globalization particularly the total loss of cultural identity. From my point of view, globalization gradually changes the nature of nations and create an international culture. On the other hand, this phenomenon can help nations remove depraved customs which are very difficult with some Asian countries.

First of all, with mass media and international transport as tools, globalization will introduce to countries a new and model culture. Slowly but stably globalization rehabilitates mostly young people who are the future owner of countries to decline their cultural identities and adopt new culture. By assimilating national characters to its ideal custom, globalization will lead to the total loss of countries’ natures.

Furthermore, after blending local custom with its new character, this phenomenon will build up an international culture. This newly-born one will merge all national characters into one and only culture. Therefore, states should take actions to prevent this process of integrating otherwise all cultural identities will fail to exist.

However, people should realize the good side of internationalization to exploit it. It is true that globalization alters countries’ characters including some outdated ones which are harmful for modern societies. In this point of view, this phenomenon can support nations especially Asian countries including Vietnam in their progress of erasing depraved customs.

In conclusion, every country should make sure to put globalization progress under its control to protect its cultural identity and decline depraved customs from its characters.

The ability to instantly communicate on a global scale has led to the phenomenon of globalisation where the world is becoming more inter-connected. While it is often claimed that this will unavoidably lead to the destruction of some cultures, I believe that it this is not entirely true.

People crave new experiences, so instead of destroying culture, the opening of the world makes the richness of different cultures more available for people to explore. It is only necessary to visit the central business district of a large city to see the wide range of restaurants serving different ethnic foods from all over the world to understand that different cultures have an important place in the world. While culture is about more than food and food, even food can be changed from how it is in the traditional culture, it shows that globalisation can help aspects of different cultures to thrive rather than perish.

Moreover, although it is true that people might follow similar fashion trends and consume the same kinds of entertainment, these trends can be influenced by cultures all over the world. Fashion designers and music producers, for example, increasingly look to different cultures for new ideas and creations. Although, these new globalised products are not always exactly reflective of the culture they came from, the internet allows people who are curious to search more about their background and understand more about the culture in which they originated.

Globalisation might mean all humans have a shared “world” culture, but that means interesting or unique elements of all cultures can be highlighted rather than destroyed. Humans are always looking for something new, and mass communication and globalisation encourages novelty rather than uniformity of culture. 

Sample 9:

Globalization means that in some ways people around the world are becoming more and more similar. We often eat the same food, watch the same TV programmes, listen to the same music and we wear the same clothes. Some of this at least can be blamed on the spread of multinational brands available all over the world. On the surface, it may appear as if the global diversity of cultural identities is being lost.

If, the argument goes, people in Tokyo and London look and dress the same, then that must mean that cultural differences are disappearing. However, I would argue that this is a very narrow definition of culture and that in fact cultural differences are as present as ever. Cultural Identity is built on far more than just the films we watch or the Jeans we wear. The foundation of cultural identity is shared values. When you look in detail at different cultures, you realize that the things that are important to one culture can be very different from the things valued by another culture.

Take my own culture, India, as an example and compare it to a very different culture, Japan. Although I have never visited Japan personally, I believe that it is a culture which places a lot of value on hard work and that people often work very long hours. The Indian people, in contrast, greatly value their leisure time and strive to spend as much lime with their family as they possibly can. Even if we consume the same products, I would argue that there are still some very deep-rooted differences.

To summarize, I do not accept that total loss of cultural identity is inevitable, despite the influence of large companies and their products around the globe.

Sample 1:

The issue of addressing the global challenge of feeding a rapidly expanding population has spurred discussions about potential solutions, including the adoption of Genetically Modified (GM) foods. While some proponents argue that GM foods present a viable answer to this problem, I fundamentally disagree. The potential risks associated with GM foods and the availability of alternative sustainable approaches make me skeptical about their efficacy as a long-term solution.

To begin with, Genetically Modified foods often involve the manipulation of organisms' genetic makeup to enhance desirable traits, such as increased crop yield or resistance to pests. While this may seem promising in theory, the unintended consequences of genetic modification could pose significant risks to human health and the environment. For instance, allergens or toxins could be inadvertently introduced into GM crops, leading to adverse effects on consumers. The release of genetically modified organisms into the environment could also disrupt natural ecosystems and harm biodiversity.

Additionally, the push for GM foods detracts attention and resources from more sustainable and holistic agricultural practices that have the potential to address food security challenges without compromising safety. Agroecological approaches, such as crop rotation, agroforestry, and integrated pest management, offer environmentally friendly alternatives to intensive monocultures and chemical-based farming. These methods promote soil health, water conservation, and biodiversity, all of which are crucial for ensuring the long-term sustainability of food production.

In conclusion, while the growing global population necessitates innovative solutions for food security, I am opposed to the idea that GM foods offer a viable remedy. The potential risks to human health and the environment, coupled with the availability of more sustainable agricultural practices, make me doubtful about the long-term efficacy of genetically modified foods. Instead of relying solely on GM foods, it is imperative to explore diverse and sustainable approaches that prioritize both human well-being and the planet's health.

Sample 2:

To tackle food shortages, many scientists recommend genetically modified (GM) food as a solution. Despite some concerns regarding this solution, I strongly believe that this is the future for food security.

The first benefit that GM foods offer is that it has significantly higher yield compared to traditional crops. GM foods have their genes altered to reproduce their cells quicker, leading to faster crop productions. Also, GM foods are capable of withstanding harsh environments, such as during winters and dry summers. Another benefit of consuming more GM foods is that they require fewer pesticides, contrary to popular belief. Because scientists design GM foods to be resistant to common pests, farmers do not need to spray pesticides as regularly as they would growing traditional crops.

However, despite these benefits, there are some concerns that researchers should revisit before populating GM foods. The first concern is the impact GM crops have on the ecosystem. Because these crops are known to be resistant to pests, it could lead to the eradication of pest species. As a result, this can disrupt the ecosystem’s balance. The second concern is that, due to GM crops’ high efficiency and rapid growth, they can easily become an invasive species with unhealthy farming practices. This problem, aside from damaging the ecosystem, also has adverse effects on the economy. For example, if one plot destined to grow a certain plant gets invaded by another species, farmers will experience a loss of income.  

In conclusion, although admittedly, there are some legitimate concerns for GM foods, I still strongly agree that GM crops are the most feasible solution to the global food shortage.  

Sample 3:

Feeding the ever-growing world population is undoubtedly a significant challenge that needs to be addressed. Some individuals argue that genetically modified (GM) foods could provide a viable solution to this problem. In my opinion, while GM foods may offer certain benefits, they also come with potential risks and drawbacks that need to be carefully considered.

Proponents of GM foods argue that they can help increase crop yields, improve nutritional content, and enhance resistance to pests and diseases. This, they claim, would enable farmers to produce more food on less land, ultimately helping to feed a larger population. Additionally, GM foods have the potential to withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as drought or extreme temperatures, making them more resilient and reliable sources of food.

However, it is important to acknowledge the concerns surrounding GM foods. Critics argue that the long-term health and environmental impacts of consuming and cultivating GM crops are not yet fully understood. There are also ethical considerations, such as the potential for corporate control over the food supply and the loss of biodiversity. Furthermore, the introduction of GM crops into natural ecosystems could have unforeseen consequences, disrupting delicate ecological balances.

In conclusion, while GM foods may offer some potential benefits in addressing the challenge of feeding a growing world population, the risks and uncertainties associated with their widespread adoption cannot be ignored. It is crucial to conduct thorough research and risk assessments to ensure that the benefits outweigh the potential drawbacks. Ultimately, a balanced approach that takes into account the needs of both current and future generations is necessary to tackle this pressing issue.

Sample 4:

Whether GM foods are the ultimate answer to address the need to feed the ever-growing global population has been a topic of fierce argument recently among intellectuals across the world. However, I fully agree with the statement that such foods are an effective remedy to worldwide food scarcity.

One obvious advantage of GM foods is better production in lesser time which will ensure food for more people that too utilizing a few resources. In addition, these foods and their cultivation are a lot more environmentally-friendly than normal foods because the former are highly resilient to diseases, pests and insects which reduces the need to use harmful herbicides, pesticides, insecticides and so on. This also ensures that people get pure fruits and grains, for example, free from chemicals.

Better texture, varied flavors and improved nutritional values are some other qualities which make genetically modified foods a viable solution to shortage of food. When such high-quality foods are made available at cheaper prices, it will sure save governments and individuals substantial sums of money, not to mention the obvious health benefits for people. Further, longer shelf-life makes bioengineered foods easier to transport to distant places and store them. Last but not least, their potentially non-allergenic nature makes them Manna from heaven for the hungry millions.

In short, GM foods are the need of the hour. Therefore, the authorities across the world need to spring to action to mass-produce genetically-engineered foods and make them available to people thereby saving hundreds of thousands of lives from malnutrition and starvation.

Sample 5:

As the population is increasing at a fast rate across the world, a shortage of food is becoming a perplexing problem. Some individuals suggest that this can be addressed by genetically modified foods. In my opinion, I totally disagree with the statement since engineering genetic foods have a high risk of potential problems and negative environmental impacts.

The main issue of genetic modification organism is a risk of potential problems after having the food for a long-term. This is because scientists or nutritionists are not sure about the long-term effects and safety as it is a relatively new practice. For example, food allergic reactions have risen in the last decade such as nuts or dairy products, which resulted from consuming GM foods. In addition, there are also a large number of people who hold concerns about the potential risks to human health affected by GM crops such as inducing mutations in human genes. Therefore, numerous people have an inclination toward eating organic food rather than GM foods.

Another thing to consider is that the agricultural method of GMOs brings harmful effects on the environment and ecosystem. Firstly, the changes in the agricultural practice affect on the farming and where weeds or other harmful factors become stronger. This results in overuse of the toxic sprays such as pesticides and herbicides. Secondly, the new cultivation method is harmful for non-GMO crops and also insects or animals, which can lead to loss of biodiversity. To illustrate this, bees play an important role in the pollination of various food crops, but they are vulnerable from the sprays.

In conclusion, I am strongly opposed to the opinion that genetically modified foods can deal with

a shortage of food due to the world demographic growth. This is for the reason that it has potential problems affecting people’s health and it has negative effects on environmental impacts and biodiversity.

It is true that acquiring new language skills is by no means an easy task. Language learners might encounter several challenges such as unfamiliar accents or grammar structures in the learning process of a foreign language. However, in my opinion, such difficulties can be tackled by a well-rounded education system.

When it comes to languages, it is undeniably crucial to get used to a native accent and intonation for effective communication. However, picking up an accurate accent can be enormously difficult, especially for adult learners because of their lack of language learning ability. If a language learner has an unrecognisable accent and intonation, they would not be understood by native speakers. On top of that, each language has different grammar and typical grammatical sequencing of words. For example, Korean sentences always end with verbs whilst English does not, which means that a Korean English-learner should consider about the correct order of

words.

Despite the aforementioned difficulties, I strongly believe that everyone can master a foreign language when a couple of feasible steps are taken. Firstly, it is more important than anything to start learning a new language at a young age. By incorporating foreign language programmes in the primary school curriculum, children can easily be exposed to languages of the world and eventually acquire language skills without difficulties. Secondly, the government can financially subsidise schools to run student exchange programmes that help adolescents to get experiences abroad and make friends overseas while improving their foreign language in a delightful way.

In conclusion, I believe that individuals can have difficulties in learning a new language because of different accents and unfamiliar grammar, however, these problems can be overcome by a good quality of education system subsidised by governments.

It is argued that to become competent in another nation’s language is a quite difficult job. This essay will suggest that finding a partner for practice is the main difficulty that people face and the best way to overcome this is by joining a group of people who are learning a particular language.

The primary problem that people have to tackle while they start learning a foreign language is a lack of practice. This is because there are very few people around their vicinity who have a keen interest in becoming proficient in another language. Without practice, they will not have enough command on the language which they are learning. For example, a recent survey by Cambridge University found that 55% of people admitted that they were not able to practice a newly learned language because they did not find anyone to practice with.

The best solution to this problem is to join a group where people are already practising the same language which they intend to learn. The members of the group share their experiences of how they are able to master a new language and the group discussions in a community enable them to have enough practice. This will make people fluent in the language. To illustrate, I was struggling a lot in learning English and my friend suggested me to join a local English learners group which I did. After a few weeks, I saw a drastic improvement in my language ability.

In conclusion, the main issue that people face while mastering a foreign language is a lack of sessions for practice. The best way to solve this is on joining a group of language learning enthusiasts.

Sample 3:

Learning a new language is indeed a herculean task for many, especially when it comes to adults. This essay will explore the factors which make learning a new language challenging and will also suggest some potent solutions to deal with the same.

To begin with, grown-ups particularly find it difficult to learn foreign vernaculars because as they grow, their brains lose that flexibility to adapt to any language and become hard-wired to specific languages that they speak or know since childhood. Moreover, the level of intelligence in an individual also matters as some people are blessed with superior cognition and hence are better equipped for learning an alien language. Also learning coherence and cohesion is the hardest part as one can learn vocabulary and rules of a language but putting them in order to make a grammatically correct sentence comes with a lot of struggle and practice. People also tend to apply their native tongue’s grammar and characteristics to make sense of an identically structured foreign language. Research conducted by Mark Pagel, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Reading in the U.S.A. states that the brain affects one’s thoughts and perceptions and it alters the way one thinks, hence our mother tongue tends to dominate our neural system which makes adhering to other languages an ambitious task.

To cope with this, firstly, although people may feel silly when they make mistakes while learning and practising a language, they must not feel bad about it or pretend to be perfect as everyone learns by making mistakes. An excellent approach is to uptake some other activity or skill and take instructions in the language to be learnt. For instance, in California ‘apprentice’ programmes are run in which apprentices pair up with the speakers of native American tongue to learn a traditional skill such as basket weaving, with instructions exclusively in the native language. After a certain time, learners become well-versed with that language. Furthermore, aspirants must also naturally try to get used to listening and understanding the language by watching foreign movies with descriptions in the form of subtitles in a known language through applications like Netflix as by doing so they come across various slangs, range of vocabulary and grammatical structures of sentences. It is an interesting way to grasp a language.

In summary, one needs to be motivated enough to get used to and memorize foreign languages. The advent of social media has eased this process as folks can converse with the native speakers and gain a lot of knowledge by making friends with them. Travelling overseas can also be of great help for becoming familiar with the international language.

Sample 4:

It is believed by many people that learning a different language is not easy. There are numerous factors that increase the difficulty of acquiring a foreign language, and this essay will discuss a couple of them and present some effective ways to learn a new language.

To begin with, a number of things can make learning another language difficult, and the primary ones are a lack of cultural knowledge and personality. With regard to the former, as its speakers’ culture and lifestyle are all inextricably bound up in one language, it is not possible to master it without an understanding of its culture. A good example of this can be seen in the case that many English speakers make a mistake with having conversation in Korean, where a variety of respective expressions are developed. Those who do not use respective words to the elderly, are sometimes considered to be very rude. As for personality, those with an outgoing character are usually likely to communicate more fluently than introvert people. As they put more emphasis on fluency than accuracy, which results in getting more chances to practice the language, consequently leading to a faster learning.

To combat this trouble, two solutions can be suggested to improve proficiency of a foreign language. Above all, one’s target language’s culture should be assimilated. This is because language can be acquired better through understanding its speakers’ way of thought, custom and even history, not to mention its linguistic properties. This can be easily achieved through books, movies, and internet blogs. On top of that, it is necessary to lessen worries about making mistakes. For this, not only are individual efforts inevitable, but also language instructors ought to create a relaxing learning atmosphere, so that learners can practice regardless of mistakes. All these can have a long-lasting effect on improving one’s language ability.

To conclude, a lack of cultural background knowledge and personal learning style are mainly responsible for the difficulty in learning a foreign language. Along with individual learners’ understanding of the target culture, language tutors’ efforts for comfortable learning atmosphere can be effectively implemented to overcome the problem.
