Cultural Globalization

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the superimposing effect of western culture has been multi-focal and directed into several paradigms of the Muslim society, which has a rapid and widespread influence on the culture of these countries. The author points out that the popularity of Hollywood films poses an offensive threat in those Islamic countries where moderate governments are threatened by Islamic fundamentalism. The paper states that, even although American culture is seen as a seething immoral and unscrupulous influence, which lacks morality and values of family and tradition, it has had a very profound impact on the central values of the traditional world of Islam because more and more youth across the Muslim world are adopting American culture and lifestyles as a way of life.

From the Paper:

"Across the world, the United States of America is best regarded as a colonial force than a superpower. It is bent upon westernizing other parts of the globe to satisfy its selfish and devious agenda. In attacking Afghanistan, the United States may have toppled an oppressive regime that reigned in the form of the Taliban but it sure is a measure to install in place a more loyal and conforming mechanism that would report back to the United States in all forms and channels. America is doing nothing but extending its vicious presence across the globe in the hunt for valuable riches that will help it to sustain its economic drive and potential in the long run. It is busy creating a form of imperialism that can work out best to its won advantage irrespective of the pitiable condition of many economies. It is an all out war in all fields."
