I wish all cultures kept their uniqueness, but there’s definitely a homogenisation occurring worldwide which has been going on for decades. The internet helped that along. Language is probably the most notable shift, but also particular attitudes.

I remember travelling decades ago and truly feeling as though you were in a foreign location. Different products, shops, advertisements, TV, film, attitudes.

These days, in most major cities, you see the same fast food, advertising etc. And, without meaning to come across as rude, it’s American culture that is unfortunately dominating.

So, one thing I would want to change about my country’s culture is that it remains as unique as it can for as long as possible.
