When people relocate, they bring their cultural traditions with them. Over time, as people of many cultures move to an area, the culture takes on elements of all the cultures within it. Places like New York and London have richly diverse cultures.]]> 2017-10-16 14:14:04 UTC https://padlet.com/minnie23412/o21v7j3566aw/wish/197362548 Cultural Change minnie23412 https://padlet.com/minnie23412/o21v7j3566aw/wish/197364365 Change can occur as a result of trade, travel, war, and exchange of ideas. Trade brings people to new areas to sell and barter goods. When people travel they bring their language, customs, and ideas with them. They bring elements of foreign cultures with them when they return home. Through out history, traders and explorers have brought home new foods, clothing, and jewelry. Some of these such as gold, chocolate, gunpowder, and silk become popular all over the world. Trades in these items change the course of history. ]]> 2017-10-16 14:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/minnie23412/o21v7j3566aw/wish/197364365 More Change minnie23412 https://padlet.com/minnie23412/o21v7j3566aw/wish/197366369 Culture can also change because of technology. The telegraph, telephones, and e-mail have made communication faster and easier. Television and the Internet have given people in all parts of the world easy access to information and new ideas. Elements of culture such as language, clothing styles, customs, and behaviors spread quickly as TV and the Internet help people discover more.]]> 2017-10-16 14:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/minnie23412/o21v7j3566aw/wish/197366369 Global Culture minnie23412 https://padlet.com/minnie23412/o21v7j3566aw/wish/197368501 Today's world is becoming more culturally blended every day. As cultures combine, new cultural elements and traditions are born.  Globalization is the process by which nations, cultures, and economies become mixed. Globalization has had a positive effect of making people more understanding and accepting of other cultures. It has helped spread ideas and innovations. Cultural blending is on a wider scale than ever before. ]]> 2017-10-16 14:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/minnie23412/o21v7j3566aw/wish/197368501 Blending minnie23412 https://padlet.com/minnie23412/o21v7j3566aw/wish/197371263 Cultural blending through globalization is not always easy. Sometimes it produces tension and conflict as people from different cultures come into contact with each other. Some people don't want their cultures to change, and cultures can be damaged or destroyed. Just as no one element defines a culture, no one culture can define the world. All cultures have value and add to human experience. As the world becomes globalized, people must respect other ways of life. ]]> 2017-10-16 14:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/minnie23412/o21v7j3566aw/wish/197371263 Japanese Kimono minnie23412 https://padlet.com/minnie23412/o21v7j3566aw/wish/197373947 The kimono is a traditional Japanese garment. The kimono is always worn for important festivals or formal occasions. It is a formal style of clothing associated with politeness and good manners.
Kimono have T-shaped, straight-lined robes worn so that the hem falls to the ankle, with attached collars and long, wide sleeves. Kimono are wrapped around the body, always with the left side over the right (except when dressing the dead for burial) and are secured by a sash called an obi, which is tied at the back.

Today, kimono are most often worn by women, particularly on special occasions. Traditionally, unmarried women wore a style of kimono called furisode, with almost floor-length sleeves, on special occasions. A few older women and even fewer men still wear the kimono on a daily basis. Men wear the kimono most often at weddings, tea ceremonies, and other very special or very formal occasions. Professional sumo wrestlers are often seen in the kimono because they are required to wear traditional Japanese dress whenever appearing in public.
