1 Americanization, by Frederick C. Millett In today s world, the term Americanization is strongly associated with the idea of globalization. We may say that it is seen as the globalization of the world by the USA. The American economy is an ever-present force in the world today. Pepsi ads now clutter the streets of every big city, Big Macs are being ordered throughout the entire world and the term "Always Coca-Cola" is being muttered all over, although some people have no idea what the phrase means. Over the past few decades, American capitalism has rapidly taken over the entire world. Not even the most communist nations of China and Russia are immune to this rapid invasion of American culture. China's youth today can not only watch The X-Files, Baywatch, and the newest films starring Tom Cruise for entertainment, but also go to the American Dream Park, an amusement park in Shanghai which duplicates typical American attractions. When they get hungry, the Chinese can eat at any of 130 McDonald's restaurants. It goes without saying that American globalization is present everywhere in today s world, which is not only changing it, but also causing wrong judgments to be made about American life. In Europe, Americans are stereotyped by globalization as being shallow, spoiled, and short-sighted, which also causes many nations to hate the American way. It may have even caused the terrorist attacks on September 11. Thomas Friedman, in an article published in 1998, warns that Americanization not only creates hatred for the United States, but also allows the people who foster this hatred to do something about it - through technology. Ramzi Yousef, the man behind the first World Trade Center bombing, kept track of all his plans on a Toshiba laptop. Osama bin Laden for a time was running a multinational JOL, Jihad Online. Many people blame bin Laden solely for the recent terrorist attacks on the U.S. But is he the only one responsible? Who's really to blame for September 11? Look no further than the clothes you wear, the food you eat. Blame Nike, blame McDonald's, and blame Coca-Cola. These companies are the icons of Americanization - the renewed movement which is taking over the world, destroying traditions, and creating new Osama bin Ladens. As G. Pascal Zachary writes, "We are all Americans now, like it or not". If he is saying this statement now, what will the world be like if America continues this trend in ten years? How about even twenty years? How far will American globalization go, or more importantly, will it ever end? (abridged and adapted) Página 1 de 9
