Cultural Lag In American Culture

Many distinct and odd cultures of the world that existed without the technological resources of the modern world are now slowly becoming victim to cultural lag. Cultural lag can be compared to an infectious disease upon cultures as a whole. Quite frankly, these civilizations in mostly remote places on the planet that have a rich culture are unfortunately becoming victim to technology overtaking their way of life. To give an example, the Cree, Athapaskans, and the Sharkcallers of Kontu are becoming modernized and the elders are the only people of these cultures that know the true way of their culture which makes them scared for their future generations. One of the elders from Kontu knows that their culture will fall no matter what because their culture isn’t written down and they pass their culture along vocally and through experience.

Americans would not have the same rights as we did today leaving America to not be one of the greater countries of the world where dreams come
