Crosspollination of cultures from "summary" of Afropean by Johny Pitts

Crosspollination of cultures is a term used to describe the way different cultural traits are exchanged with each other, and new forms arise from this exchange. It is often associated with migration, trade and communication among different cultural groups.

Cultural cross-pollination also encourages the diffusion of technology, creating an environment in which ideas can move freely across the globe and open up those who don’t have access to certain resources.

The combination of diverse elements from multiple cultures has resulted in tremendous progress and inventions. For example, music, food, and art all stem from different cultures, and they have enriched human life experience.

One of the major effects of cross-cultural pollination is that it challenges traditional ways of thinking and breaking rigid categorizations of people due to their physical attributes.

Crosspollination from one culture to another contributes not only in terms of arts and crafts but also in terms of sciences, literature, architecture and medicine. By combining best practices of many cultures, innovations were made that have created groundbreaking solutions for personal and economic issues.

Through increased travel and exposure to a variety of cultures, individuals gain a better understanding of how similar yet varied our society can be on a global scale.

People of different countries are affected by various experiences and learn from each other. This results in managing interdependence and intertwining cultures under one flag having the same customs, language and folklore.

It promotes understanding between people that didn't previously understand each other. Both sides bring something valuable to the table, and collaboration leads to progress.
