Imagine a world where people have same value system, a "robot" world in which people think the same, act the same, and move the same. True, it would be HORRIBLE. That is what is happening in the reality, however. With a distorted fancy name of "globalization" or "cultural/industrial development", humankind is losing variety. Distinct customs and traditions are dying and all the same value system is taking place.
It is especially the less developed countries that are losing their identities. For example, as investors from the U.S. and other advanced countries came into the Brazilian market, the formerly-existed 450 tribes lost their tradition and were unilaterally assimilated to the Western culture. They no longer speak their own language, nor do they go hunting or fishing to eat; they speak English and go to McDonalds. This situation is prevalent in other parts of the globe too. Millions of minorities - natives and Indian tribes - have lost their culture and are being culturally "colonized" by Western countries - especially the U.S.
All people learning English, wearing New-Yorker style suits, and eating in McDonalds is not a far future. Some experts say that within this millenium, we will find U.S. everywhere on Earth. The unification or standardization of all cultures is an imminent threat.
Why is it a threat? If you asked the question, pity you... you are a victim of westernization as well. Let me explain to you then why world with sameness is an invitation to TYRANNY.
