The complex process by which different cultures around the world are increasingly aware of, interact with and influence each other.

• A. Hidden Curriculum
• B. Globalization
• C. Global Culture
• D. Imitation

Answer: (B)

Globalization is the process by which cultures around the world become more aware of one another, interact, and influence each other through things like travel, trade, migration, communication technologies, and media. This framework explains why we see cross-cultural exchanges happening on a global scale—from foods and fashion to ideas and languages spreading beyond borders. It also accounts for the back-and-forth nature of cultural influence, not just one-way copying.

Hidden Curriculum refers to the unspoken lessons learned in schools about norms and values, not the global interactions between cultures. Global Culture describes a possible outcome—the idea of a shared worldwide culture—rather than the process that creates that interconnectedness. Imitation is a simplistic idea of copying others and doesn’t capture the complex, multi-directional exchanges driven by globalization.
