D.I.Y. Culture

[Ron Krate]

Re NYT Article:

DIY Culture

Here, re cultural civilization, so-to-speak, is an opinion that despite the sharing of more common goods and , even attributes, homogenization is not the rule, rather, its atomization that is on top.... This looks pretty on target re so-called globalization.

However, we need to closely look, if we share  more common goods, and especially services,than ever before. Than unless the some of these shared goods, and more importantly, shared attributes, shared more than ever before, are substantially used sometimes somewhat  differently, and sometimes quite differently, we can see both homogenization and cultural divides.

Fuzzy concept, globalization, and a lack of a listing and testing of the attributes shared, to see how they are used in different countries and regions. Fuzzy concept, culture.

What has globalization's forces wrought? Its still an open question, despite the plethora of tribalisms, regionalisms and nationalisms: what is the scale and weight of evident homongenizations and atomizations, given the fact that there are more shared goods and shared attributes?

Do shared attributes, today, in various far-away countries, tend to more evidence homogenizations or differentiations ( divides ) supposedly under the influences of the forces that supposedly drive a phenomenon termed globalization?

Moreover, there is a clear confusion:  most people could not begin to know and undersatnd, what is the difference between globalization and internationalization.
