Abstract: Globalization encompasses the extension of culture outwards. This is to the limit, which is referred to as the global culture. Globalization is the process through which cultures have become incorporated and integrated into one dominant culture. The emergence of the globalization has been attributed to the vast development in technology and the rapid growth of state economies. Modernization is viewed as being the static, fixed and closed need to deal with disorder. This paper reviews the existing literature on the extent to which the tools of globalization and modernization have had an impact on the African culture. This paper will also highlight the perspectives that concern the extent to which globalization and modernization tools have promoted cultural development and as to whether this has led to the displacement of indigenous cultural values and practices.
Keywords: Globalization, modernization, culture, global society, local culture.
