Which term refers to the idea of a single culture shared by people worldwide as a result of globalization?

• A. Globalisation
• B. Diversity
• C. Social order
• D. Global culture

Answer: (D)

Global culture is the idea that people around the world share a common set of cultural references, practices, and preferences because of globalization. As media, technology, travel, and international business spread ideas and products, brands, genres, and lifestyles become recognizable across borders. You can see this in universal products and fast-food chains, blockbuster films, global music trends, and widely used social media platforms that give people similar experiences and tastes no matter where they are. This shared set of cultural elements coexists with local traditions but creates overlapping patterns that many people encounter in the same way.

Globalisation describes the process that makes this possible, while diversity refers to variation and differences between cultures, and social order refers to how a society maintains stability. The term that best fits the idea of a single culture shared worldwide is global culture.
