Current Controversy

A problem that has arose due to popular culture is the fear of extintion of folk culture. Many say that globalization of popular culture is the blame. The rapid spread of popular culture is created by media. Folk culture, is the oppisite. it is spread through migration which is a very slow process. By globalization if the pop. culture, the folk culture is is slowly diminishing and losing thier traditional ways. Many also think this controversy isnt such a problem. This fear is also seen in a way that paves a way to "better life" for the one who live in the traditional folk culture. An example that fits the description of better life would be the social mobility and freedom of the people in folk culture that have been experienced to the diffusion of media in popular culture. Personally, I think that this fear of extinction is going to take over the folk culture beacuse of rapid globaliztion.
