Both globalisation and hybridity are inevitable.
The only question is, will there be a natural disaster
to prune the lineage or will we do it to ourselves?

we can all learn from others ...

but that does not mean those others should force that learning down our throats.

if we want to adopt part of another culture, then so be it ... but we cannot take everything blasted at us.

sure, imperialist countries/cultures will try to force it at times ... it is a weapon of conquest - just like free trade, or violence.

This whole thread offers no substance. From ill defined terms, it degenerated further into a discussion of potentially related terms that do not mean what the users intend.

Please explain your concept of cultural hybridity, as you intend to debate it. The term encompasses many specific situations, some no more profound than than when Og's daughter was taken captive, carried over the mountains, and made the wife of a rival tribesman. The kids of said marriage are cultural hybrids. No one spoke of globalization in those days (before the Neanderthals made their appearance).

Possibly because they thought the earth was flat?

i think this is a typical situation when people talk of racism/ imperialism /colonialisation / free trade.

how could people come straight out and say the truth about such things in a way that is understandable? - when they basically want to commit a crime against humanity.
