Answer:
it is a challenge to maintain cultural identity, but it can be done.
at the same time, globalization also brings new cultural aspects to the mix. It's no longer really "Americanization" as America, too, experiences the influx of other global cultural forces.
Today what people say modernization is, is Americanization and westernization
As countries "modernize" and become part of the 21st century, it's important not to loose their cultural indentity. It's a big challenge for any country's leaders, but it can be done and should be done.
Absolutely. Japan, India (an up and comming technological newborn). Many places are very modern, and have not given up their uniqueness.
modern development comes with modern ideas, so there may be some parts being copied along with it. For example, if modern medicine gets results, while traditional gets 50/50, and there was a choice, mostly modern medicine would get picked. The civilizations dump their traditional medicines and adopt the modern one, along with ways to look for the more troublesome diseases rather then following traditional practices, so it'd become a chain of changes.
It depends on what elements are important to the unique ethnic and cultural identity. The keys to modernization is the efficient use of capital and labor. To efficiently use capital, loans with interest and risk premiums on investments are essential. To efficiently use labor, opportunity and education must be available to all regardless of ancestry, social class, or gender. The west did not have wide acceptance of the efficient use of capital until the industrial revolution, and cultural conservatives are still having problems accepting equality for women.
modernization does not only mean Americanization/westernization... It means getting people up to date with forms of intercommunication. LIke internet, television, email , medicine, etc. Its helps people as well.
NOW yes this invoves trying to keep culture.
