Cultural Democratization
Cultural Democratization
A domestic cultural policy that explains the way in which culture is developed and defined. Cultural Democratization is often considered an elitist top-down approach to providing society with access to high culture. The strong sense of government involvement in Cultural Democracy is seen to promote a single cohesive sociological culture, and usually involves increased government funding and subsidies for high culture. Another way in which governments promote the arts and increase local participation in cultural events is by lowering ticket prices for exhibitions and museums.
