Influencial America

America ! The most influencial country, especially in terms of Media, has influenced everybody globally! From dressing styles, to manerisms, people want to "copy" America, or rather Americans, as they are portrayed to us! How many of the people following the trend sets by America, have actually visited the country or know a lot about its geography, history, curretn-politics or even know the name of all its States? Well, when being shadowed by the media and its tainted pretty painted pictures of America, why wouldnt we want to follow the oh-so-magical country's behaviour patterns, and not stick to our own country's language, dressing style and culture?
And have you ever wondered? All of us are studying at an American University because of the creditbility that an American affiliated or accredited Degree holds! Why is it so?

Over the years, America has established a well ground for everything. Be it technology, education, fahsion or command on language! Internationally, socially their culture, lifestyles, technology etc. has become popular and therefore in demand! Not doing what evrybody else is doing, also indirectly makes you deviant, or a more appropriate term would be, a social outcast!

Clothes: The Indians have their traditional clothes, so do the Arabs or any other nationalities. Then why dress in skirts or pants? This is because the media has enforced certain views upon everybody of what is cool and what is not? Numerous trends have emerged in a fashion industry also known as "Western Clothing" - deriving from the fact that its American!

Language: Come to think of it, everybody wants to have an American accent, or people fancy American girls, or girls fancy American boys' accents! However, English originated from England, not America, then why does American accents make people go crazy!

Again the answer is fostering consumer culture that America has very smoothly done, over time! Media and socialisation has made America capable of setting trends and allowing us to follow them!

There have been both negative and postive impacts of this so called "Americanisation", but nothing drastic can actually be done about it now. I believe there are more pros than cons, and thus i wrap my writing, with America is very influencial, and media strongly helps it gain more and more power!
