if it makes any difference,
the nature of globalization is that, with expanded economic opportunity, a certain degree of homogenation is necessary. in a globalized world, the movement toward a single culture is inevitable. in all parts of the world it is now possible to find people who speak english, who have access to the same music and technology (relatively, in comparison to all other periods in history). that the culture adopted was American is somewhat arbitrary. the most powerful nation always has the most influence on its neighbors. are people upset that the english language was latinized (or gallicized) when the normans came over?
