Abstract

In the process of globalization, the differences between different regions have gradually narrowed. At the same time, however, some local cultural identities have also been revived by the momentum of globalization. Meanwhile, conflicts between different cultures have also been accelerated with the revival of different cultural identities, bringing many social problems and thus making people reconsider the influences of cultural revivals. This paper is mainly focused on how some local cultural identities have been revived instead of being assimilated into dominant cultures in terms of languages, traditional costumes, and dietary habits in the context of globalization. At the same time, with the hope for more peaceful cultural revival programs, it also points out how some problems arising with the process of cultural identity revival have threatened global security.
