This issue is devoted to some commentaries on the nature of culture in this newly emerging global world. The true contribution of a culture consists, not in the list of inventions which it has personally produced, but in its difference form others. We Are the United States of Borg.

We will assimilate your cultural and national distinctiveness into our own. That was a time when we could speak of cultural diversity. But with economic globalization, diversity is fast disappearing. The goal of the global economy is that all countries should be homogenized. The overriding fear of a monoculture occurring as a result of the global economic forces is not a view shared by all.
