Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overview and Purpose<\/em><\/p>\n

Globalization describes how cultures and populations become increasingly interdependent and connected across different countries worldwide. The connectedness of these countries allows for products and technology to spread across national borders and creates an exchange of ideas and values that influences different cultures (\u201cGlobalization,\u201d 2025, para. 2). From globalization, there is a significant development in information and communication technologies that\u2019s driven by the Internet, mobile phones, and social media platforms. In order to limit the scope of this research, the free inquiry project will focus on cultural and technological globalization in the west. The project aims to investigate whether globalization erodes traditional cultural practices and identities or whether it provides new opportunities for cultural preservation and exchange. By examining media culture, its psychological impact, the role of technology, and barriers to globalization, this inquiry will highlight the balance between cultural preservation and transformation.<\/p>\n

Cultural Exchange and Identity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canadian Media and Pop Culture<\/em><\/p>\n

Pop culture encompasses many phenomena such as entertainment, media, fashion, and lifestyle that has been accompanied by technological communications online (Medium, 2024). In Canada, most of the culture reflects on the country\u2019s diverse population which includes the Indigenous Peoples, French-Canadian, and other immigrant communities. Quebec, in particular, has its own distinct cultural identity and values. They\u2019re known for their joie de vivre<\/em>, meaning joy of living because of their easygoing and cheerful nature (The Old Schoolhouse, n.d.). One of the more obvious and impactful influences on Canadian culture and identity is the United States. Both countries speak the same language, with nuances between expressions and idioms, and both are geographically close in proximity. According to an article by Miracle Movers (n.d.), a Canadian person would say \u201cGive it a go\u201d while in the U.S., a more common phrase would be \u201chit the ground running\u201d (para. 3).<\/p>\n
