Answer:
D. The spread of ideas, religions, and languages from one culture to another
Explanation:
In cultural anthropology, cross-cultural dissemination is a concept that refers to the expansion of the use of objects, ideas, styles, religions, technology, languages, etc. between people of different cultures. It is a different process from the diffusion of innovations within a specific culture, since cross-cultural dissemination always involves more than one culture. The phenomenon can occur by voluntary adoption, by imitation, or by cultural imposition.
D. Cultural diffusion is the blending of beliefs, ideas, way of life, religion, so cial activities, ethnicities, and practices from one culture to another.Example: The Christmas pickle tradition of Germans is now popular among American citizens.
Further Explanation:
Culture is a unique way of life encompassing every aspect of the living of a group. In this regard, it is rightly said that civilization may come to an end, but culture carries on. Commencement of cultural diffusion in America can easily be traced back to the advent of Europeans in the quest of 3Gs (Gold, Glory, and God). The interaction between Europeans and Native Americans apart from conflicts also facilitated the diffusion of culture from one another. Language is another aspect of cultural diffusion. The belief of Manifest Destiny acted as catalyst for westward expansion diffusing culture to the distant lands. It can be illustrated in English.United States’ English and United Kingdom' English are similar at the same time they have their reservations in some respects. We can find many words in it from different languages. Festivals, religious practices, and celebrations are another common aspect of it. The annual celebration of Cinco de Mayo is also celebrated in the United States on May 5th to commemorate the victory of Mexicans over the French empire on May 5, 1862, at the Battle of Puebla. The most followed religion, Christianity started in Israel and has spread to every corner of the world. Similarly, Buddhism born in India has been spread to China, Japan, and the rest of the world. Colonial History is distinctively marked with the forced appropriation of culture and religion by European colonizers like France, Britain, Portugal, Spain in America, India, Africa, etc. In today's modern age cultural diffusion is at its peak. Economies around the globe are intertwined to the extent where an event in the distant part significantly affects everyone.
"I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the culture of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any"- Mahatma Gandhi.
