The diffusion of culture refers to how cultural beliefs, social practices, language, technology etc., spread from one place or group of people to another over time.
Cultural Convergence: This is when different cultures become more alike due to globalization or other influences.
Cultural Divergence: This is when a culture separates or goes in a different direction than others, often due to geographical isolation or differing cultural values.
Acculturation: This is the process of adopting the cultural traits or social patterns of another group while still retaining some aspects of one's original culture.
