Basically in every human society,each has a unique cultural practices and traditions that serves as the backbones and what has been the building blocks of such society.. for instance in southern part of Nigeria a chubby women are mostly seen as the best bet for a man to get married to as compared to the slim and skinny ones because they belief that they will derive satisfaction (sexually) from them in comparative to the slim ones.likewise also in Nigeria,domestic animal are often killed to prepare one delicacies or the other but such practices if a Nigerian caries it out in the queens land(united kingdom) such individual would be arrested for a violation of the right of animal or back in my community in the eastern part were some snakes are not meant to be killed because they are regarded as sacred and also places like Calabar a river line area in cross river state in Nigeria were snakes are eating as a special dish,the list goes on and on.the point am driving out here are most of the stereo typical effect it would have on such culture when it is been seen as whack and as an inferior cultural practices ..
some of these effect on such culture includes
1.ethnocentrism. it is serious act that needs to be addressed,cultural practice ideas are meant to be respected and held tight to but the period when others begins to see it inferior such attitude are often termed ethnocentric,a belief that some one else culture is infact superior and better than others and hence they are should be seen as backward.
2.Posses a threat to the future such culture: such attitude would also affect the tendency of such culture being sustained or going into an extinction because most of it norms are being abandoned .
3.causes chaos between and among culture: certainly it would bring about strive and disunity among different culture,the one that belief that its culture are superior and hence the other one seen as inferior would also react thus leading to a misunderstanding among them both 4.cultural assimilation: it would also lead to the assimilation of such cultural practice to a more preferable ones that are often seen as ok but the repercussion of such are often neglected which would arise in future to come. its an effect we must all fight to stop and make a way for all cultural practices to remain irrespective of how terrible or weird we may adjudge it to be because every culture has it key stone of sustenance and what keeps it going and thus when tempered with it will bring about a distrustful consequences ..
quote from a well know author once said,the solutions to today problems are the problems of tomorrow so in essence let us strive harder to be a solution provider...
