  6. Online culture “Online culture” is a common “culture” in which people browsing the internet are exposed too and learning the same things.

  7. Nationalism Several nations in Africa were created to oppose the colonization of their land by British and German imperialists. Since these people shared a common culture and did not want to lose it they grew hate against globalization of global culture and the overwhelming global culture + borders =
