Abstract

The Twenty-first Century has presented us with an odd paradox: the forces of technology, and most especially the digital revolution, have been providing us with increasingly individualized entertainment options, while the forces of the economy have tended to reduce those options and to homogenize them, homogenizing cultures in the process. Under the guise of increasing individual choice, the diversity of the world’s varied cultures is under threat.
Cultural diversity is a value in itself and a collective good. It is only natural that people wish to preserve the connections to their collective pasts and identities. This wish to maintain a sense of community is both particular and universal. Indeed, we all benefit from the preservation of cultural diversity: encountering folkways other than our own exposes us to different ways of thinking and can lead to new, occasionally profitable ideas. We are, at the very least, enriched. Can the world’s cultural diversity be protected? Can it be sustained?

In a comparison of the most watched television shows in Australia, France, Italy, Sweden and the United States, only in Australia was the most watched show an import. Curiously, once Australia is excluded only France had an American production in the top ten: the movie Star Wars (International Herald Tribune 2005).

Not all down-loaded files are compatible will systems developed by different electronics firms. A movie file from Blockbuster.com won’t work on a SONY HDTV, for example. This has led to a film industry initiative called “Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem” to develop a single standard (Stone 2010).
