I feel a cultural erosion of our way of life truly setting in.

Does anyone else have that feeling?

yes, it's quite an obvious phenomenon.
The further capitalism progresses the more culture gets erased when it is no longer profitable.
Such is the system

The Bahamian Culture? Its expanding if anything, evolving, nothing wrong with that.
We're still a young country and have lots to learn yet.

examples?

I think we are losing our culture slowly but surly. Soon enough we will be so americanised we will Have more of a yankee accent than an english one, you can already hear it now on the streets. We will never lose junkanoo but that is the only example I can give that I do not think we will lose.

The country is young, it still has a long way to go to define its culture.
So essentially there is nothing to loose, yet.

This country has essentially been around since the Eluthera Adventurers wrecked their ship on the devils backbone. That was close to 400 hundred years ago. How in that time did we not evolve our own culture? We had allot more of our own culture in years gone past but as the world gets smaller it also becomes one and the same, thus the lose of OUR culture which is being replaced by the world culture. Man i remember when ZNS came on the air and i got to watch TV for the first time, this country has changed immeasurably since then.

The Bahamas since Independence.
Before that it was British Culture.

Yes, when you allow people to run free that do not value something greater than themselves simply because they want to be contrary - your culture will be destroyed.

thus the lose of OUR culture which is being replaced by the world culture.

What of our Culture was not similar in to other countries to begin with?

I think we should get rid of all the motor vehicles though and go back to horse and carriage .. what yall say :shaky:

of our culture "expanding"

There are many, and it is not yet complete, nor will it ever as in any country ... I would leave the examples to someone specialized in cultures and such though.

However, give examples of our culture "eroding"

Man I write this essay in COB one time bout how the Bahamas is the melting pot of all the cultures we have been exposed to since the Eleutheran Adventureres.

Seems to me like the pot still on and more ingridents are being added. It changes the 'taste' of the stew thats for sure but it still is unique...for now.
