Problem
Cultural isolation
Experimental visualization of narrower problems
Claim:
Individual, living cultures are beginning to find a new identity as part of one global culture. In Third World villages, for example, there is a growing discovery of customs and ways previously lost in successive waves of foreign influence. Such discovery may, however, lead to a sense of isolation in language, mores and living patterns; and the question is one of involving diverse peoples in a common national or regional identity.
