Amid the tide of globalization, local traditional cultures are being diluted by homogenized consumption patterns and digital media, yet some argue that true cultural resilience lies precisely in the capacity to adapt to and absorb foreign elements. In your view, when a native custom simplifies its rituals or meanings to cater to a global audience, does this constitute an irreversible cultural loss, or should it be regarded as a necessary evolution for its survival in the contemporary context? Please elaborate on your stance with concrete examples and justify your reasoning.
