What exactly is "american culture"? Thing is, "american" culture is so diverse, that even if you tried you wouldn't be able to mimic all of it.

EDIT: More on topic, I'm under the impression that much of the global respect for America (which may translate into cultural respect too) was born in the wake of our eminence following World War II.


You guys actually dont get much respect for that at all. Most of the world sees it as you guys jumping in after the war was over to try and take some of the glory.

The reason for everyone moving towards the american culture is simple though. America is the home of television. It's where all the big budget TV shows are made which then get distributed around the world. Due to the show's country of origin, the shows depict american culture. So when everyone around the world turns their TV on at night, they get a nice big dose of America, which filters into their everyday lives.



hehe already put the words from my mouth.

Let me give you an example here:

So, I'm in a different country right? and most of the people here are really westernized. (the food, clothing etc.) I mean its due to the fact that a big influence in our lives is the T.V., There is this a local channel here dedicated to american shows like The Unit, The Nine, Prison Break, Saving Grace etc.

Then we also have shows like "Pinoy Big Brother, Pinoy Fear Factor, Pinoy Survivor" All american shows that were copycatted by the our countrymen. LOL!

So, how can you not say that the rest of the world (not literally everyone) is doesn't need westernized when your entertainment shows are watched all over the world.

P.S. I'd myself have an could already be westernized but still, you would see me eating balut, kare-kare, bagoong (fermented shrimp paste) all those nasty delicious filipino cuisines which makes me 50/50 in that department.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

1 - Study psicology then major on cultural influence, you will surely understand it.

2 - Most tech culture comes from america, like tv series, movies, computer games, etc...

3 - Theres plenty of patriotism out there, maybe you just havent seen it, but it doesnt mean it doesnt exist, theres extremes both ways, personaly I want some stuff the americans have for sale (computers, games, pnp rpg's etc..) I dont care about your music or your fashion standards.

4 - America like to give its own citizens the image that it is the center of the world, as if 50% of everything that happens, happens in america.

5 - quoting you "What is so superior, so attractive, so elegant and enticing about the modern culture of this country? I'm confused but I hate people for following this culture so blindly because there's a certain characteristic of this culture not allowing any room for rational or intellectual thought."

Nothing really, you are an empire decaying after starting extremelly impopular wars, you guys are fat and ugly(ofcoursenotall), you basically tried to screw up the whole world while you were on top to keep yourselves on top, you love guns and capitalism, you love to think that everything in the US is the bestests best in the whole world, if you didnt had hollywood and the music industry, you would just be another name amongst many, and probably a much more unpopular one.

Dont kid yourself, most immigrants who go to america dont wanna be american, they want to enjoy the american way of life, which is impossible without assimilating your spoonfed culture or mixed values.

You will never be trully american, until lincoln balls are so deep in our mouth you that cant talk anything other than it.
