Continuity/Change in a Globalized World Practice Test

A continuity was that only elites consumed foreign culture, as mass consumption and youth culture did not develop in the late 20th century.

A change was the total disappearance of local languages, replaced everywhere by a single global language mandated by international law.

A continuity was that cultures remained completely unchanged, since foreign media cannot influence tastes, identities, or political discourse.

A change was faster diffusion of cultural products, while continuity persisted in local identities that adapted global influences to regional contexts.

Cultural exchange ended after 1980 because digital technology isolated societies, reducing contact compared to the age of radio and print.
