Globalization reduces identity
We are in a world where globalization is part of our lives part of ourselves, part of our society, but how much does it affect our culture?, How many of us have we left our roots from where we come, our ancestors, our customs?.
Today, history presents the paradoxical panorama of a globalization that, on the one hand, tends to erase various types of borders between peoples, stimulates or causes massive migrations and mixtures of traditions and cultures and seems to project in the future the existence of a Planetary Society Meanwhile, on the other, particularisms, secessionisms, bloody tribal conflicts and ethnic, racial and religious intolerances ¨ ¨
The result of this society is the loss of the cultural identity of the person, adapting to a new culture established in a new society where the person has migrated or has come to learn through technological devices, or learn new lifestyles learned from another cultures.
Today’s young people are more likely to want. While technology advances more reaching urban and rural sites, people are also exposed to these new technologies.
The forms of entertainment and leisure worldwide are increasingly dominated by electronic images that are capable of easily crossing linguistic and cultural borders and that are absorbed more quickly than other written cultural forms. Graphic and visual arts, especially through computers, televisions and electronic games, reconstitute everyday life and their entertainments everywhere.
Today we are in the 21st century where any person is very exposed to this technology where young people learn new lifestyles where in these rural places or communities cultural identity is in danger because by learning or seeing these foreign cultures young people without Wanting them apply, leaving aside their identity to the point of embarrasing from their roots and denying them, reaching the community with time and with it all its history, culture.
Television, radio, computers, cell phones, the internet; They are the means where people observe without limit those styles of foreign life, customs, music, constructions, gastronomy not only of their country but of many countries. It is not all negative because in one way and another it also gives us information that we do not know and that helps us is many cases to research, news that happens in our society, the reality of some places where the State or new technologies does not arrive.
The communities where technology is arriving in one way or another are affected but the most affected places are urban areas where there is more technology exhibition, not only young people are affected but also people of legal age, where not only migration, not only They arrive at a new culture but want to adopt their new culture from where they migrated, there are several cases of those families who feel ashamed by their roots denying their place of origin and more all their customs.
With all the change that exists and always existed in repudiation of these communities where their culture is being lost, when arriving or migras to urban areas.
In the dominant ideology, the ethnic characteristics of indigenous peoples are inferior, delayed and uncultured. The stigmatization of its identity or parts of it produces a conflict within the individuals who are members of the belittled groups. The conflict can also result from a radical change of the social environment as occurs, for example, in the case of migration to another site or social ascent. The individual, not knowing where and who he belongs to, is attracted to different identities often incompatible. To this conflictive state, in which the individual is seen in front of antagonistic demands by the different groups, I want to call it broken identity. This constitutes the expression of the conflict due to the loss of social belongings, abrupt changes of the living conditions, discrimination suffered, etc., o You can gather the whole set of the aforementioned factors. (Eva Genberger, 1999, P.259)
The broken identity, loss of identity or identity denied. Many young people to be accepted in a society deny their identity, their roots, their culture, thus being their lost culture; Few are the young people who do not lose their identity, no matter how discriminated, tildos or those words like "Cholo, Indian, etc.", they defend and prevail what they are and where they come from without feeling ashamed of the place.
The case that was most denied by people from urban areas and rural areas is the language in our country, our native language the Quechua.
Due to the dominant linguistic standard, speakers of a lower -called language can think that their way of speaking is incorrect or ugly, which leads to a negative attitude towards their own idiomatic practice. (Eva Genberger, 1999, P.261) In our society the population wants to learn foreign languages such as Portuguese, English, Mandarin Chinese, German, French, denying its languages either Quechua or Aymara in our society and feeling ashamed of its roots.
With these new changes, where technology is moving forward more and more as individuals of this society we must revalue and show the world our customs without losing our essence, feel proud of our roots, where all Peruvian should know our languages as Aymara and Quechua where ours must first learn, getting to teach several children in schools first ours and then the foreign.
Teach young people what we were, what we are and will be and teach our elders not to feel ashamed of ours.
