SynonymsCategory: English nounsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Popular culture (commonly known as pop culture) is the totality of ideas, perspectives, attitudes, memes, images and other phenomena that are deemed preferred per an informal consensus within the mainstream of a given culture, specifically Western culture of the early to mid 20th century and the emerging global mainstream of the late 20th to 21st century. Heavily influenced by mass media, this collection of ideas permeates the everyday lives of the society. By contrast, folklore refers to the cultural mainstream of more local or pre-industrial societies. Popular culture is often viewed as being trivial and "dumbed-down" in order to find consensual acceptance throughout the mainstream. As a result, it comes under heavy criticism from various scientific and non-mainstream sources (most notably religious groups and countercultural groups) which deem it superficial, consumerist, sensationalist, and corrupted. The term "popular culture" itself is of 19th century coinage, in original usage referring to the education and "culturedness" of the lower classes. The term began to assume the meaning of a culture of the lower classes separate from and opposed to "true education" towards the end of the century, a usage that became established by the interbellum period. The current meaning of the term, culture for mass consumption, especially originating in the United States, is established by the end of World War II. The abbreviated form "pop culture" dates to the 1960s. From Wikipedia under the

Hi I interpret your question as why do globalization create cultural problems. 1) Lack of Awareness: People are not aware how to do business or live a life better than what they are or were doing so long. For instance; none of the Farmers joined their hands and created a "Producer Company" to cultivate on say 1000 acres at a time. The scale is small and contented. But when Globalized Big and Fit alone can survive better. Hence people face lots of problems Solution: Belive in Team Work; work together and live together.
