- Common mix-up
- Students often mix up assimilation and acculturation: assimilation means losing a distinct identity in the host culture, while acculturation adopts some traits through contact without fully losing one's own.
- Revision tip
- Pick one global brand and describe an example of glocalisation and one of homogenisation. Then check that you can define cultural diffusion and cultural imperialism separately.
