]]> Theglobalization has transformed people's attitude to LGBT being all over the world nowadays. From my perspective, during the last 50 years, the LGBT topic was staying has been the most discussed. And it doesn't depend on which kinds of mass media it was raised in | mentioned | brought up. If this theme is successful (← do you mean popular?) and meets its goals, then this publication will certainly catch a lot of attention. Surely, it is great for the publication. People all over the world seem to want to discuss this topic more and more. But, in my opinion, the point here isn't the relevance of this topic around the world, but rather in relation to it and the opportunities that arise to protect the rights of men, women, minorities, and anyone else. Activists' attempts to draw attention to the LGBTQ+ topic are usually aimed at protecting or defending those rights. The Western approach to gender equality and freedom in relationships does not fit well with the culture of many countries around the world. To mitigate the influence of negative attitudes towards treating same-sex couples ethically, the most important thing is respecting the faith and traditions of different countries. In general, there is a shift in attitudes happening. It's simply a long-term process. And the most important thing, in order to change the negative people's negative attitude towards this issue of gender relations, we simply need to stop imposing Western ethics on them. This is because in many other cultures around the world, this is simply not acceptable. What could help us change our view on the idea of national identity? I believe that humanity is already on this path of realizing the national identity of representatives of different nationalities. All over the world, these issues of preserving national identity are constantly being discussed at international forums and conferences. For example, many peoples can see examples of disrespect for the traditions of other peoples. Our universal vision is difficult to change. In my opinion, people need to learn to accept other people. People of a different race, nationality, religion, and so on. In general, humanity has made progress in this after the Second World War, recognizing the genocide of other nations. But even in the last 80 years after the end of the global conflict, this problem still exists. Although now we see the world as much more open . (no full stop here after 'Although') In general, for example, even in conservative Europe, the country's population has now become extremely multinational, which indicates that representatives of different races, nations and faiths are learning to live peacefully and coexist with each other. At the same time, it is important to maintain a balance and publicly support the rights of people, openly recognize the fact that all people , peoples are different, and they all have the right to their own national identity.]]> 75
