Question: How or why do things (ideas, movies, music, religions, etc.) move from place to place?
They move because of:
-Trade
-War
-Migration
-Everyone just wants to be cool and hip
Could address cultural diffusion by focusing on a theme like music (Mr. Stevenson's idea)
So, for example:
-Trade: (Seattle Sound)
-War: (article on how American Soldiers in Iraq left of legacy of Rap)
-Migration: (Anny foreign singer, missionary)
-Everyone wants to be cool and hip (Koreans)
Other examples of Cultural Diffusion besides music:
Religious Conversion (Missionaries): Holidays/Work Week
Technological Necessity: Internet
Trade: Politcal Systems
War or Conquest: Language, food (baguettes are popular in Vietnam because of French colonialism)
Migration: Restaurants (People from Thailand move to Provo and open Thai Restaurants, etc.)
