Over-Americanization

We're watching a video on India in World Geography, and I have to say, sometimes Americanization goes too far. I don't mind countries developing and becoming modern, but I will lament the loss of all these amazing and interesting cultures if the US just bowls over everything and put it's own boring culture over everything.

    While I do agree that Over-Anythingization is something we're better off without, to say that the U.S. culture itself is boring is kinda selling it short.

    Familiarity breeds contempt, Komo.

    What bugs me is that most everyone else is going to be familiar with both their own culture and the vaguely hegemonic American culture, but as an American, I don't have that.

    I have that feeling too. Sometimes it feels like America is the de facto culture with everything else opposing it....if that makes any sense.

    Bah, they're better off with less culture.
