On the other hand, through a comparative study by using novel as an example (not a model) and by concentrating on the rise of modern novel, Moretti in his polemical essay attempts to outline how the literary world-system works. Here, as he emphasized in another essay in response to the following one, novels, as a literary genre, are representative of the most mobile strata of the system, not of the entire system, as an example to show the mobility of world literature.

negatives are balanced by the spread of technology and ideas that benefit underdeveloped countries. The downsides of globalization include the potential of a generic monoculture and deteriorated relations due to cultural clashes. The introduction of Western ideologies to essentially untouched civilizations often proposes the notion that traditional methods are worse because they are old.

Postmodernism is a complicated term, or set of ideas, one that has only emerged as an area of academic study since the mid-1980s. Postmodernism is hard to define, because it is a concept that appears in a wide variety of disciplines or areas of study, including art, architecture, music, film, literature, sociology, communications, fashion, and technology.

Nowadays, Celtic languages are not spoken by a large number of people and they are mostly limited to the British Isles and to Brittany, in north-western France.
