A Reflection on Tradition and Globalisation
Abstract
Football in the UK is huge, as an institution and as a tradition especially among the working masses of Britain. It clings to tradition by a thread however: the rivalries, the Saturday and boxing day fixtures, but it has followed suit with the rapid changes of modernity. This critical reflections examines traditions such as football as a microcosm of society as it shares the same hierarchical system and has been impacted through the effects of globalisation.
