Global Culture

From the photo linked in my last post, I realized there was an article from the National Geographic somewhere about Global Culture. In particular it was the August 1999 number, which of course now that I’ve seen the full cover I remember. I’ll have to get a copy of it.

However in the meantime I’ll have to settle for their online essay on Globalization.¬† It captures the essence of what I want to write about:¬† the false perception that everything that surround us in our modern life is part of our culture just because is persistent.¬† We are loosing our capacity to be unique.
