Reading Text
“Cultural identity is crucial for individuals and communities. While globalization brings people together, it can also threaten local traditions. Many countries, including Algeria, strive to preserve their cultural heritage in the face of global influences. The Amazigh (Berber) culture in Algeria is a strong example of cultural resilience. The recognition of Tamazight as an official language has helped preserve this identity.”
