Globalization has impacted African culture in both positive and negative ways. While technology and exposure to other cultures has increased, it has also eroded some traditional African values. Western influence through technology, education and media has exposed Africans to new ideas but also undermined indigenous languages and practices. However, increased connectivity also provides opportunities for Africans to share their culture more broadly and engage with the modern world on their own terms. Overall, globalization is a mixed experience for African culture as traditions adapt to a more interconnected society.
