Manifestation, Environmentalism, Social Impact, Cultural Processes At Work -- Good, Bad, Indifferent?

Just yesterday, a highly intelligent and energetic gentleman from one of the groups on LinkedIn labeled himself as a 'blender of cultures'.  Since I believe in Attraction and the manifestations associated with the power of thought, I have to believe that the following article came into my reality in response to my mental questioning experienced concerning the blending of cultures.

There can be no question but that we abide in a changing world.  Every aspect of our world is now experiencing accelerated mutations.

Since culture is a reflection of the human efforts to cope with the ever changing aspects of existence, there can be no possibility of it remaining in a static state.  Are the world altering changes affecting all cultural states as we speak?  Are the forces creating change universal and world wide?  Will the cultural adaptations to the changing world bring on a 'blending' not experienced in the past?

In other words, are we actually becoming 'one' as a people?

And, do the words, 'cultural jeopardy', demand consideration here?

Alexis Madrigal, in his newsletter, 5 Intriguing Things, speaks to the topic from a sightly different angle in this quote: (You may subscribe to this newsletter at http://tinyletter.com/intriguingthings)

"Establishing good descriptive and normative foundations for cultural policy requires confronting culture on its own terms, stripped of the veneer of scientism that the 'environment' and 'market' metaphors encourage. It requires, in other words, exactly what scholars on both sides of the debate have been trying to avoid: a theory that focuses on culture as culture and grapples directly with questions about why institutional arrangements for the production of culture matter. To decide whether the future of the 'cultural environment' is in jeopardy, we need to understand how cultural processes work, why we should value them, and whether legal and institutional structures adequately take those values into account."
