Summary/Abstract: The idea of cultural homogenisation has been a topic of discussion among scholars since the existence of culture. However, it became more prominent with accelerated globalisation, marked by the rise of Western (American) culture. Fukuyama (1998) advanced the thesis that culture will ultimately become homogenised. By demonstrating the fallibility of Fukuyama (1998), four aspects are presented: psychological, cultural dualism, cultural identity and legal. Consequently, it was determined that the hypothesis proposed by the researcher was erroneous, and a favourable trajectory for the advancement of global culture was delineated, orienting itself towards the cultural dualism that is extant in the business.
