- Globalisation and identity
- Some think that globalisation is bad for identity as ethnic identities will become less distinct and less varied
- Lemert and Elliot - globalisation creates more variety
- You can try lots of cultures but dont have to commit to any of them
- Identities are more unstable
- Globalisation imposes western culture on other societies and damages traditional cultural identity
- Hall - Ethnic groups react to globalisation by emphasising their cultural roots
- Some react to globalisation by breaking away from the cultural identity imposed on them
- Hall - people dont have to construct their identities based on where they live anymore
- The 'cultural supermarket effect'
