Globalization is merging the cultures of nations into a homogenized "international culture" at a staggering pace, while many local traditions are dismissed as outdated obstacles. Some argue that cultural diversity is destined to shrink under the tide of globalization, and thus priority should be given to supporting its unifying trend; others firmly believe that preserving indigenous traditions is not only the cornerstone of identity but also an essential defense against cultural erosion. Faced with this tension, do you think the cultural fusion brought by globalization inevitably undermines traditional values? Please articulate your stance and support your argument with specific examples from countries or communities.
