I discuss cultural diffusion, how how cultures spread over time. This is important to understanding why cultures change over time and recognize it when you see it historically or contemporarily. We discuss forced, direct, and indirect diffusion. These are the Mechanisms with which cultural diffusion happens. I then break down cultural diffusion to the five types, expansion diffusion, relocation diffusion, hierarchical diffusion, contagious diffusion, Stimulus Diffusion.Discord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholar Audio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw
