How diffusion of folk culture differ from that of popular culture is because compared to popular culture, folk culture is transmitted from one location to another more slowly and on a smaller scale, primarily through relocation diffusion (migration).

Christianity largely spread through conquest. Throughout much of the Roman Empire, Christianity hailed as the dominant religion, leading to hierarchical diffusion as the empire conquered more peoples and land.

: diffusion in which one people receives a culture element from another but gives it a new and unique form.

Cultural diffusion is a continuing global process, best studied within anthropology and geography. The diffusion of cultures has been most facilitated by the institutions of colonialism, religion, and education. Contemporary cultural diffusion has been further bolstered by information technology.

Cultural diffusion is the spread of ideas, beliefs, and goods from one place to another. When people from one culture interact with people from another, aspects of culture tend to spread from one place to another.

Groups and individuals pick up both positive and negative traits from each other, which may help the culture evolve and improve or which may ultimately weaken it. One advantage of cultural diffusion is that the individual is able to learn about ideas outside his own culture.

Diffusion occurs when particles spread. They move from a region where they are in high concentration to a region where they are in low concentration. Diffusion happens when the particles are free to move. This is true in gases and for particles dissolved in solutions – but diffusion does not occur in solids.

Through cultural diffusion, horizons are broadened and people become more culturally rich. The mixing of world cultures through different ethnicities, religions, and nationalities has only increased with advanced communication, transportation, and technology.

But with these different cultures coming to America, they are bound to be spread, which can be seen as a good thing and a bad thing. Cultural diffusion can also be considered a bad thing because the original culture in the area is being somewhat washed away and minimally replaced in certain areas.

Diffusion, process resulting from random motion of molecules by which there is a net flow of matter from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

10 examples of diffusion in everyday life

• You can smell perfume because it diffuses into the air and makes its way into your nose.
• Cigarette smoke diffuses into the air.
• A few crystals of potassium permanganate in water will diffuse and turn the water purple.
• Leave a soda bottle open and the carbon dioxide bubble will diffuse and leave it flat.

A. Simple diffusion does not require energy: facilitated diffusion requires a source of ATP. Simple diffusion can only move material in the direction of a concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves materials with and against a concentration gradient.

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration of the molecules to an area with a lower concentration. The difference in the concentrations of the molecules in the two areas is called the concentration gradient. The kinetic energy of the molecules results in random motion, causing diffusion.

During active transport, substances move against the concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. This process is “active” because it requires the use of energy (usually in the form of ATP). It is the opposite of passive transport.

Diffusion is a mass transfer phenomenon that causes the distribution of a chemical species to become more uniform in space as time passes. The driving force for diffusion is the thermal motion of molecules.

Diffusion: Particles moving from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. The result of diffusion is a gradual mixing of material. In a phase with uniform temperature, absent external net forces acting on the particles, the diffusion process will eventually result in complete mixing.

Several factors affect the rate of diffusion of a solute including the mass of the solute, the temperature of the environment, the solvent density, and the distance traveled.
