Preferred term

detraditionalization and retraditionalization  

Definition

  • Cultural globalization accompanies the economic and financial processes of globalization. Many students of high or postmodernity link those processes and claim that modernization erodes or even eradicates local or national traditions, and the most radical expression of this view maintains that the process of detraditionalization is unstoppable.
