Balancing homogenization with diversity will be crucial in shaping the cultural landscape of the future.
Science focuses on gaining knowledge about the natural world, whereas technology focuses on creating new products or processes for human use.
The environment, situation, culture are unique for every country in the world. There is not any single country with identical culture or philosophy. So if a country decides to import technology developed in the other nation, they must take their culture and philosophy into consideration.
