*** Culprit in Commodifying? ***

Thursday, December 9, 2010 12:58 PM

Watch this video before you carry on reading.

As mentioned earlier, this is a music video of the song "Nobody". The catch is that the song is in English! This speaks about my impression and also my opinions towards the cause of tourism commodifying cultures and traditions of the globalizing world and also the contemporary world. Tourism has brought about a whole new dimension of culture that allows the South Koreans to be generating revenue. Whether it is a culprit, I beg to differ. It has commodified the culture but it has not destroy the culture that South Korea has. South Korea has still and will continue to embrace their own culture while assimilating the globalizing culture, South Korea carries on embracing their own culture and it is a delight to see that.

South Korea has been a role model to many other countries of achieving the status of "The Best of Both Worlds" where it garners the advantages of embracing globalization and also sustaining it's culture.
