Abstract
 
State
 
and
 
non-state
 
actors
 
pay
 
more
 
attention
 
to
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
media,
 
because
 
media
 
reach
 
amount
 
of
 
audiences
 
and
 
the
 
messages
 
conveyed
 
through
 
media
 
are
 
obvious. Film
 
is
 
seen
 
as
 
a
 
global
 
medium
 
that
 
reaches
 
a
 
huge
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
audience
 
with
 
the
 
same
 
message
 
while
 
the
 
film
 
industry
 
plays
 
the
 
leading
 
role
 
in
 
the
 
global
 
media
 
system. The
 
audiences
 
receive
 
the
 
messages
 
in
 
the
 
film
 
at
 
almost
 
the
 
same
 
time,
 
but
 
different
 
interpretation
 
depends
 
on
 
personal
 
perception
 
and
 
external
 
environment. The
 
movies
 
have
 
a
 
high
 
ability
 
in
 
capturing
 
imagination,
 
shaping,
 
and
 
directing
 
the
 
sense
 
of
 
what
 
was
 
real,
 
true,
 
and
 
preferable,
 
because
 
movie
 
contains
 
both
 
motion
 
picture
 
and
 
sound. The
 
promotion
 
of
 
American
 
culture
 
through
 
Hollywood
 
movies
 
may
 
make
 
the
 
rest
 
of
 
the
 
world
 
to
 
decide
 
whether
 
to
 
fear
 
or
 
favor
 
the
 
promise
 
of
 
Americanization. It
 
may
 
facilitate
 
an
 
emerge
 
of
 
a
 
global
 
culture
 
while
 
invade
 
the
 
national
 
sovereignty
 
and
 
identity
 
of
 
other
 
nation
 
states. In
 
the
 
future,
 
American
 
culture
 
will
 
continue
 
to
 
be
 
a
 
major
 
force
 
in
 
global
 
community. As
 
Thomas
 
Friedman
 
wrote,
 
“today’s
 
era
 
is
 
dominating
 
by
 
American
 
power,
 
American
 
culture,
 
the
 
American
 
dollar,
 
and
 
the
 
American
 
navy”. America
 
is
 
seen
 
as
 
the
 
only
 
super
 
power
 
in
 
the
 
world,
 
its
 
decision
 
to
 
promote
 
its
 
American
 
culture
 
to
 
international
 
community
 
may
 
affect
 
the
 
relations
 
with
 
other
 
nation
 
states. The
 
promotion
 
of
 
American
 
culture
 
through
 
Hollywood
 
movies
 
is
 
a
 
representation
 
of
 
cultural
 
imperialism.
