Globalization of contemporary culture

The uniqueness of societies will not be destroyed by globalization of contemporary culture, especially in the religious countries. Because religions are the most important element in some societies, countries in which people are strongly connected to their religion, whatever that religion is, will not accept any globalized culture which conflicts with their religious rules. Moreover, we can not separate religion from culture; for example, some customs in Islamic countries are related to Islamic rules, such as women covering their heads by wearing a scarf. In contrast, countries where people are not related to their religion, obviously influenced by contemporary globalized culture; for instance, Turkey’s culture has changed from Islamic to secular. In short, whenever there is a link between culture and religion; the uniqueness of diverse societies will not vanish.
