Importance of Cultural Heritage in a Globalized World."
Cultural heritage is the essence of a society's identity, reflecting its history, traditions, and values. In an era of globalization, where cultures are increasingly intermingling, the preservation of cultural heritage becomes crucial. It not only helps maintain diversity but also fosters understanding and respect among different cultures. The loss of cultural heritage can lead to a homogenized world, devoid of the

from the rich tapestry of human civilization.
