Globalization

Globalization Is globalization nothing more than Americanization' Without a doubt globalization is one of the hottest topics in today's political scene. However, is globalization nothing more than another term for Americanization' While there are a variety of perspectives, each bearing a fair level of legitimacy, I believe the most powerful argument is that globalization is just another word for Americanization. One of the most powerful influences in the Americanization of the world is the media. The actions and reports of the media have implications far beyond providing issue perspectives and entertainment after a long day on the job. Rooted in the most powerful political and economic force in the world, the American media is visible worldwide. Through the examination of the media and its international impact, we can see more clearly how globalization is simply another term for Americanization. The media is clearly the people's window to the world. It is a common occurrence in the United States and the rest of the industrialized world to wake up and turn on the television before work to catch up on the latest local and global news.
