The phenomenon of the cultural divide emerged as mankind began to explore the world, and encountered vastly different language s, lifestyles, foods, values, and local customs Citation needed date March 2011 . And it has continued significance in the modern world, in the context of the globalization of commerce, easy availability of travel, and dismantling of geographical barriers. These cultural differences are primarily observed firsthand, through human contact, and travel. But the cultural divide can also be seen in various forms of media, such as movies, TV, and on the Internet and through the emergence of Virtual community digital communities and digital means of interaction. All these have resulted in increasing interaction and exchange amongst people of different cultural backgrounds. In essence, the term cultural divide refers to the virtual barriers , caused by cultural differences, that hinder interactions, and harmonious exchange between people of different cultures. Individuals may sense this phenomenon, or they may be oblivious to it. On the positive side, this cultural interaction can result in bridging the cultural divide, which has simultaneously gained importance to those seeking harmony, and peaceful exchange between cultures. When the cultural divide can be bridged, it can be beneficial for all parties. However, when cultures are vastly different, or if a people are opposed to such exchange, the cultural divide can be very difficult to bridge.

Unreferenced date May 2010 A cultural movement is a change in the way a number of different disciplines approach their work. This embodies all art forms, the science s, and philosophies . Historically, different nations or regions of the world have gone through their own independent sequence of movements in culture , but as world communications have accelerated this geographical distinction has become less distinct. When cultural movements go through revolutions from one to the next, genres tend to get attacked and mixed up, and often new genres are generated and old ones fade. These changes are often reactions against the prior cultural form, which typically has grown stale and repetitive. An obsession emerges among the mainstream with the new movement, and the old one falls into neglect sometimes it dies out entirely, but often it chugs along favored in a few disciplines and occasionally making reappearances sometimes prefixed with neo . There is continual argument over the precise definition of each of these periods, and one historian might group them differently, or choose different names or descriptions.

Cultural travelers leave their home environment at home, bringing only themselves and a desire to become part of the culture they visit. Cultural travel goes beyond cultural exploration or discovery it involves a transformation in way of life. This definition was first used by Gary Langer cite journal authorlink Gary Langer title Travel to Learn journal Transitions Abroad volume 1 pages 12 15 date March 1977 publisher Transitions Abroad Publishing as a way of describing travel that requires a transition to a new level of understanding of and appreciation for a foreign culture. The term is often distorted and misused by travel agents, tour operators and international tourism organizations. Culture primarily has to do with people and less with places or things. So visiting museums, touring ancient structures, attending festivals, and eating local food does not provide the same experience as becoming a member of the culture itself.

About the concept of cultural pluralism other uses of the term Pluralism disambiguation Cultural pluralism is a term used when smaller groups within a larger society maintain their unique cultural identities, and their values and practices are accepted by the wider culture provided they are consistent with the laws and values of the wider society. Cultural pluralism is often confused with Multiculturalism. Multiculturalism lacks the requirement for a dominant culture. One example is the United States which has a relative strong dominant culture which includes strong elements of nationalism, a sporting culture and an artistic culture. In a pluralist culture, unique groups not only co exist side by side, but also consider qualities of other groups as traits worth having in the dominant culture. A successful pluralistic society will place strong expectations of integration on its members rather than expectations of assimilation. A society that lacks a strong dominant culture can easily pass practicing cultural pluralism to multiculturalism without any intentional steps being taken by that society. The existence of such institutions and practices is possible if the cultural communities are accepted by the larger society in a pluralist culture and sometimes require the protection of the law. Often the acceptance of a culture may require that the new or minority culture remove some aspects of their culture which is incompatible with the laws or values of the dominant culture. The idea of cultural pluralism in the United States has its roots in the transcendentalist movement and was developed by pragmatist philosophers such as William James and John Dewey , and later thinkers such as Horace Kallen and Randolph Bourne .
