CANADIAN CULTURE AND INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
International business have been seen to put a lot of pressure on the culture of many
countries around the world. The various process by the help of which culture is incorporated in a
nation shows the richness of the culture of the country. In this context it can be said that the
culture of Canada are certainly disappearing under the pressure from the international business
which is being conducted in the country. The government of the country needs to come up with
certain policies and strategies by the help of which the culture of the country can be maintained
and retained in a particular manner. In the present context of business proceedings it can be said
that culture is an important aspect of a country which identifies itself.
In the era of 21st century there are massive changes in the operation of international
business and the culture of every country are in dire need of innovative strategies by the help of
which they can maintain their culture (Canada - Language, Culture, Customs and Etiquette).
Over the time Canada has worked towards evolving its cultural statistics both in the home market
as well as international market scenario. The massive changes which have been brought by the
innovation in the information technology of the country in the present era have brought various
opportunities as well as problems fort the cultural heritage of the country (Canada - Language,
Culture, Customs and Etiquette). With the emergence of digitization the sectors of the country
such as cable and telecommunications have to create innovative technologies by the help of
which they will be able to share foreign content in the country and in the same time it will be
able to share Canadian content with the other world. Technology is slowly making its way in our
daily lives which is taking over the cultural heritage of each country. The various roots on which
a country resides is being taken away by the invasion of international business which is being
faced by Canada at the moment. Steps must be included which will be aiding the country to
inherit its cultural values and norms.

These innovations are major problems for the existence of the Canadian culture and they are
slowly depleting under the peer pressure of the International business (Canada - Language,
Culture, Customs and Etiquette).
With the emergence of newer technologies in the country the people of the country are
attracted to the culture of the outside world which leaves the Canadian culture vulnerable
(Business In A Global Environment). The Government of the country must implement and
enforce certain regulation by the help of which the culture of Canada will be predicted to the
people of the country (Business In A Global Environment). Technology has become a major part
of the world with the help of which innovation are being brought to every part of the world. With
the emergence in technology it has become easy to implement newer process by the help of
which the daily lifestyle of people have improved. This gives Canadians the scope to get access
to newer technologies by the help of which they will be able to forget their existing culture and
way of life (Canadian Culture In A Global World). The government of the country must come up
with certain ways by the help of which the Canadian people will be able to access to the existing
cultural products of the country rather than exchange and borrow international products.
Emergence of technology is one of the aspect on which the Canadian culture is having tough
competition from (Canadian Culture In A Global World).
Multinational Corporation in the country are growing at a faster rate which is changing
the traditional way of delivery system and the existing policies. The existing shopping systems
are being replaced by online ones and the users are forgetting the traditional way of purchasing
products. The various changes in the vertical integration in the sector of entertainment is also
affecting the culture of the country. The various national policies of the country are slowly
making a shift towards these certain changes which are having an adverse effect on the

prosperity of the national culture of the country. With the changes which have been seen the
delivery of the shopping products has hampered the customers to go out shopping and mix with
other people and talk about their culture. With online shopping not only the people are
interacting less with each other they are hampering the share of culture among each other. The
culture of a country is carried on from one generation to another and this is generally don by the
help of communication among people and human interaction (Brady, Miranda and Kelly). Both
the various goods and services which are provided by the Canadian culture must reach to all the
residents in the country (Brady, Miranda and Kelly). In the present scenario it can be said that
cultural products of the country including the goods and services are slowly being replaced by
the foreign products in the country. In the present scenario it has been seen that inclusion of
technology among people have stopped them from interacting more with each other. In this case
with the emergence of technology the people of Canada are slowly giving up their culture and
they are stopping themselves from spreading their cultural heritage.
The current trend in the global market of opening huge number of open markets in the
country and also implementing a free trading world in the country is making hard for Canada to
retain its cultural heritage. With the implementation of open markets in the country cultural
diversity of the country is becoming very hard to implement and showcase to the world. The
foreign elements are slowly taking its place in the country and are slowly removing the existing
culture heritage of the country (Coombe, Rosemary, Wershlerand Zeilinger). Free trading world
in the country is making it hard for the country to implement the various trading agreement by
the help of which the unique nature of the products which are related to culture of the country.
Cultural diversity of a place is very important in implementing the culture of the country and
spread it to other places (Coombe, Rosemary, Wershlerand Zeilinger). The culture heritage of

Canada is under direct there with the inclusion of free business in its system. In the present
scenario it can be said the country is open to the various changes in the business and the huge
number of global market in the country but in doing so the country is slowly losing its rich
cultural heritage.
To conclude it can be said that cultural heritage of Canada is slowly perishing away
under the dire pressure of the inclusion of international business in the country. With the
implementation of the Digitization, emerging technologies, increase in the growth of the
multinational corporation and open markets along with free trading world the culture of the
country in under dire pressure. The government of the country needs to come up with certain
ways by the help of which they can implement culture among the people of the country. Culture
of a place needs to maintain as it is the identity of the place. The diverseness in the culture all
around the world is what makes it amazing. The people of Canada have a rich culture by the help
of which they have archived many feats. Innovation and globalization is important in many
country but is it important that with the inclusion of international business, the culture heritage
needs to be forgotten?
