Answer to Question 1
Cultural imperialism is the imposition of the culture of an outside group on a smaller, less powerful group of people.

Cultural imperialism may stimulate cultural nationalism or marginalization among the smaller, less powerful groups.
Answer to Question 2

used by one of the groups or from an external area or it can be a patchwork or simplified version
of a standard language. Swahili in East Africa is one example; French was a diplomatic language
and English is a common international language.
