I'm no sociologist. I'm not even an educated person. As a layman I have the penchant for thinking about things I have no business thinking about and this is one of those things; All of the things that make your culture unique are soon to be dead. Whatever made you talk the way you do, or eat the food you eat, or any traditions you may possess are over. It'll take several generations but its inevitable. There is no way an independent derivative accent of a modern English accent could occur again, the constant communication wouldn't allow it. This is it

Racism is just a funny form of cultural isolationism. All cultures take comfort in history and conformity and seek to perpetuate their ideals. Hilarious even.

You ain't never heard that joke before because it was an Idaho joke. Everything was word of mouth which is slow. Slow and particular. Everyone's on Instagram now.

Modern communication methods might be fast, but theyre still insular..people choose to be insular. A one world race and culture would solve half the worlds problems, but its not gonna happen

Whatever made you talk the way you do, or eat the food you eat, or any traditions you may possess are over. Actually, linguistic studies have proven you wrong. Researches assumed that with the advent of television and mass communication in the 20th century regional accents would disappear. This hasn't occured. People still acquire their primary language by mimicking the speech of their parents and family, which have local speech patterns. As long as societies exist there will always be two culture layers that exist simultaneously: the local\popular level, which is practiced mostly by the common masses, and a common international culture, the domain of the elite and the well-travelled. This has existed throughout history, with Sumerian\Assyrian, Hellenistic Greek, Latin, French and now English. In fact, there was even a period of English history when the English culture was the lower layer, during the early Norman period. In fact, the distinction back then was so accute that most English aristocrats didn't speak English at all. The most famous example of this is King Richard I.

I don't know...the cultures of countries like China or one of those conservative Muslim countries seem very strange and different to me. I think it's going to be a long, long time before there is one Earth culture. A loooong time.

You underestimate humanity's ability to discriminate against one another and want their land and culture kept far away from anyone else's.

Current whiny liberals refuse to make a distinction between ethnicity and culture so they can continue to feel indignantly right about everything

The people whining about harry potter and poo poo: people who make media finally realized that children and teen viewers often have a captive adult audience and they want to appeal to them too so their poo poo will be bought watched abd consumed how did you all not notice this happening. There's a reason adults are jacking off to ponies and not so much Wacky Races or whatever old peolle watched for cartoons

Reduces them to an infantile state (think curling up in the fetal position in times of anguish). Merry Christmas big gay babies everywhere!

Now if something i said would cause me or someone related to me physical harm that would be different, but the trick there is to not know anything that anyone needs to know. Poor guantanamo dudes And that also made me think about and feel for the innocent civilians that are forced to pick between two sides and end up choosing wrong. the worst thing is fucked around with this message at 11:42 on Dec 24, 2014 |

There's a lot of good things about being a child that deserve to be brought into adulthood. But anyway this post is just about the fact that humans like stories with characters where things happen. Nothing about the stories you mentioned is inherently childish.
