The word culture includes not only the customs of our society, its art, music, for many, alarming. Many people believe their traditional ways of life are under threat（威胁）, the losing of culture is a natural result of globalization（全球化）and progress. So is the globalization of culture a threat or a chance?
Those who see globalization as a threat think that societies are losing special parts of their cultures. For example, Omotik, a language spoken in East Africa, so they often refuse or even give up the traditions their parents grew up with.
Others focus on the advantages of globalization. They accept thawt Western culture is spreading, but they also point to how Western countries and many other parts of the world are being shown to world cultures. Young Americans enjoy Japanese comic magazines and watch Korean movies. Thai teenagers enjoy pop music from Hong Kong. Many argue that there are advantages to these corss—cultural exchanges and that they leads to better understandings between cultures. They say world traditions are celebrated more widely because of these. Chinese New Year, now celebrated in most big cities around the world, is just one of the many festivals that are accepted internationally.
Anyway, many organizations and governments are making efforts（努力）to protect their cultures. One successful example is Wales. There was a time when social pressures were killing off the Welsh language, it is now an active part of Welsh life again. Around the world, similar efforts are going on.
From goldfish to sharks, fish of all sizes have lived on Earth for hundreds of millions of years. But do they ever get thirsty?
The answer is yes! Some fish do, at least. But there is a big difference between fish that live in saltwater and ones that live in freshwater.
Bony fish have some salt concentration（含盐量） in their bodies. For bony fish in saltwater, their concentration is lower than the water they live in. Through osmosis （渗透作用）, they drink lots of water, so it's easy to say that they can be thirsty. Drinking saltwater is never a good idea for humans（鳃）.
However, sharks are an exception. Sharks can make their salt concentration match the water around them. They do this by building up urea （尿素） in their blood
Freshwater fish, on the other hand, are unlikely to become thirsty. Because they live in a less salty environment（冲淡） their blood. Freshwater fish therefore need to get rid of this extra water. So now we know that saltwater fish can become thirsty and drink water, while freshwater fish will avoid drinking but pee （小便）
