Most people said that the impact of globalization in the cultural aspect has generally, been viewed in a dramatic decrease. Usually, it has been linked with the damaging of cultural identity, cultural acceleration victims, homogenized westernized, etc. This view, the constituency for which extends from (some) academics to anti-globalization activists (Shepard and Hayduk 2002), tends to interpret globalization as a seamless extension of – indeed, as a euphemism for – western cultural imperialism.
Based on Yale Global, there are so many people who sensitively with the disappearance of culture and cultural identity. Besides that, most cultures across the world at critical situation of decreasing their own languages. Linguists predict that over half of the almost 7,000 languages spoken in the world today will disappear by the end of the century.
Australia, for example. More than 20 million of Australian population are the most culturally and linguistically diverse populations in the world. Aborigine is an Indigenous Australians and the original inhabitants of the Australian continent, but has faded over time. Moreover, 26.8% of the Australian resident population were born outside Australia.
One of the most crucial aspect that can distinguish one culture to another is food. Each culture in every single country has own special food. For example, for those people who want to eat Italian food can just go to Italian restaurant since there are many italian restaurants available in every countries or on Lygon street in Melbourne. Indonesian restaurants are also available in Melbourne such as Nelayan restaurant, Pak E’, Selero Kito. In other words, each country has own traditional food which represent its culture.
