There's also the cultural aspect, aside from economy and environment.
When I've visited the U.K. I was delighted to discover all the cultural differences. People think of themselves differently in different cultures, behave in different (sometimes unexpected) ways. I say that having a multitude of cultures makes us richer as a WORLD. One of the harms I see in "americanization" is a cultural homogenization that trends toward the lowest common denominator.
