At present, the public cannot visit the herbarium, which is a dedicated research facility. But once its plant collection is moved to the science park, the building will be redeveloped as a science quarter, a public display of Kew’s prime specimens, including those donated by Charles Darwin, added a spokesperson.

Propelled by the efficiency or appeal of wireless communications, electronic commerce, popular culture, and international travel, globalization has been seen as a trend toward homogeneity that will eventually make human experience everywhere essentially the same. This appears, however, to be an overstatement of the phenomenon. Although homogenizing influences do indeed exist, they are far from creating anything akin to a single world culture.

We will consider the evolution of cultural studies from its early focus on capitalism and class relations, to its integration of such critiques into a still-expanding range of areas of concern, e.g. in terms of gender, race, sexuality, postcolonialism and posthumanism. We will engage with key concepts and paradigms from cultural theory that have sought to understand the cultural dimension and functioning of capital, such as commodity fetishism, gift exchange, debt, neoliberalism, information capitalism, and post-natural ecology. We will ask how contemporary global phenomena such as the rise of digital networking, climate change and financial crisis transform the relationship between capitalism and culture. a b c d Elyachar, Julia. 2005. Markets of Dispossession: NGOs, Economic Development, and the State in Cairo US: Duke University PressThe imported products or services can themselves represent, or be associated with, certain values (such as consumerism). According to one argument, the "receiving" culture does not necessarily perceive this link, but instead absorbs the foreign culture passively through the use of the foreign goods and services. Due to its somewhat concealed, but very potent nature, this hypothetical idea is described by some experts as " banal imperialism". For example, it is argued that while "American companies are accused of wanting to control 95 percent of the world's consumers", "cultural imperialism involves much more than simple consumer goods; it involved the dissemination of American principles such as freedom and democracy", a process which "may sound appealing" but which "masks a frightening truth: many cultures around the world are disappearing due to the overwhelming influence of corporate and cultural America".

The public media are the foremost example of operating enterprises that are used in the penetrative process. For penetration on a significant scale the media themselves must be captured by the dominating/penetrating power. This occurs largely through the commercialization of broadcasting. [24]
