Cultural Imperialism
By definition cultural imperialism is the practice of promoting, distinguishing, separating, or artificially injecting the culture or language of one nation into another. Usually the larger power or culture is imposing their culture on a smaller, less influential culture. Cultural imperialism can take the form of an active, formal policy or a general attitude. The question, “Does U.S. cultural imperialism exist?” might as well be rhetorical because United States cultural imperialism is evident by the global sales of our products, the promotion of our culture and democratic government, and the constant influence of our media. Here in America we have this attitude that we are the best culture and have the best government policies. We constantly promote our “melting pot” and act like we are the greatest country in the world, and considering that we are currently the world’s largest superpower everyone else wants to be in with us.
