<p>Hey there , I bring to you , a rollercoaster!!!</p><p>Let's start with cultural erosion. This refers to the gradual weakening or loss of a society's traditions, beliefs, norms, customs, values. So I just finished listening to an audiobook ( here on twocents) that was explaining that some things that are normal today but was not normal a few years ago. So I thought to add it to my insight. This is where cultural erosion comes in because in today's world , a lot of societies are beginning to abandon their cultures, traditions and norms.</p><p><br/></p><p> Globalization is when countries or societies become interrelated or interdependent through the movement of people, goods and products, technology and ideas. Globalization have good effects as well as bad ones and that is what led us to cultural erosion( which I believe is one of the bad effects of globalization). Like I said earlier , a lot of societies are abandoning their traditional cultures and adopting foreign norms and values.</p><p><br/></p><p>Xenocentrism refers to an individual's belief that his/her own cultures , traditions, belief, values and norms are inferior compared to another society's culture and traditions. Xenocentrism is the reason why the trends and "normal" of today is a huge gap and difference of what used to be normal yesterday.</p><p><br/></p><p>So my question is , are the Gen z of today xenocentric ? Is that why a lot of young people of today are abandoning the cultures and traditions of their forefather ? And I noticed that this new trends and cultures people are adopting are mostly from the Europeans and the Americans. And my final question for today is, do you think your culture and traditions are inferior compared to theirs ?</p><p><br/></p><p>I will be waiting for my answers and to the people that read my previous insight , I hope you are doing good because I feel so much better. Glory be to God.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
