Question 2
Cultural Diffusion in Southeast Asia

Cultural diffusion is the process by which ideas, customs, and technologies spread from one culture to another. In Southeast Asia, this process has played a significant role in shaping the region's diverse societies. This area is known for its rich history, which includes trade routes, migrations, and the influence of various religions. Understanding cultural diffusion in Southeast Asia can help us appreciate how interconnected the world is and how cultures can influence one another.

Imagine a bustling market where goods from different places are being sold. A merchant from India might bring spices and textiles, while a trader from China might offer silk and porcelain. As these merchants interact, they not only exchange goods but also share stories, beliefs, and traditions. This is similar to how cultural diffusion happens; as people meet and interact, they share aspects of their cultures.

Today, cultural diffusion continues in Southeast Asia, especially through technology and media.
