What are some threats to folk culture?

Folk culture faces several threats, including globalization, which can lead to the homogenization of cultural practices and the erosion of local traditions. Urbanization often displaces rural communities, diminishing the transmission of folk customs and languages. Additionally, the influence of mass media and technology can overshadow traditional practices, as people increasingly adopt more mainstream cultural elements. Environmental changes and climate impacts also threaten the livelihoods and practices that sustain folk cultures.
