Compare and contrast how cultures have spread across the globe across history. Do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing that so many cultures around the world are becoming Americanized? What are the downsides of this trend?
American influence has pervaded several cultures over the world. The US is extremely influential, especially with multi-national conglomerates. One can locate the yellow ‘M’ (Mc Donald’s) across the globe, representing the consumption of fast-food. These billion dollar industries also affect popular culture that heavily influences the youth. When it comes to cinemas. Hollywood rules the roost. American movies often portray the ultimate American dream advocating consumerism and materialism.
