Yes I have. Through Europe actually. They played a lot of US shows on TV, US music on the radio, and they all wore jeans. Pretty sure the entire continent spoke English as well...but that was just pure coincidence.
I went through America... they played lots of hispanic shows, latin music on the radio and they all wore Bermuda shorts pretty sure the entire continent spoke Spanish as well.... but that was just pure coincidence
I don't speak Spanish and I don't know anyone who does. I don't see road signs in SPanish or even SPanish newspapers here. Hmm..
Weren't you thinking of moving to the Southwest? If you do, you're going to meet a LOT of people who speak Spanish and see plenty of signs in Spanish and Spanish publications.
A number of my co-workers are fluent in Spanish and they're not immigrants either, legal or undocumented. Our receptionist speaks it, which you might expect, but so does our executive director (the CEO or el jefe).
The US does not dominate headlines anywhere but the US. I would imagine that in westernized nations, the closer to the US the nation is (physically and culturally), the more frequently you would see headlines about the US there. Why? Not because of the superior influence of your culture, but because the closer you are to the US, the more likely you are to have ties to it, and the more likely consumers are to be interested in it…which is the bottom line with headlines – selling the media (and ad space) from which it comes. That aspect is about money, not some admiration of your culture. Aside from the personal interest aspect here in Canada, to a lesser extent in Mexico, and I’d imagine an even lesser one in other ally countries, I have rarely, rarely seen any mention of the US in foreign papers, aside from articles about trade, or military action. In other words, empire. That’s not culture.
The cultural influence the US DOES have in other countries is in part a result of empire building. I won’t pretend US culture is without merit. But for the most part, it’s all integrated into a broader western collective.
This whole argument is….kinda redundant. WESTERN culture dominates ALL western nations. Euro-centric culture…. The US is a nation of immigrants…. Without the influence of Western European beliefs, traditions, and ideals, American culture would be completely different. You might even consider aboriginal culture a part of your own :roll:
You said EVERYONE wears jeans in Europe.... not true :fp: but I love how you think America's greatest cultural contribution to the world is denim trousers...
you also said everyone on the continent spoke English... I'll remind you that English is a British language and not an American one... so fuck knows that the point of you typing that was?
I also know that US radio plays tons of British music on its airwaves... what point this has I have no idea? but The Beatles win against ehhhhh fucking Aerosmith or whatever shit US rock band didnt conquer the world. British culture is actually more apparent throughout the world than US culture. After all we did conquer a 3rd of the world at one point so it kinda infiltrated into their lifes.... if by US culture you mean other nations like Coca Cola and watching re-runs of Friends then thats true, but British culture is a bit more than that... its culture for a start
I guess i deviated over to culture last night...too much to drink last night...but oh well. It does still actually dominate the world but that's another thread. And to think that the rest of the World doesn't concentrate...over analyze....put the US under the microscope...is just plain ignorance.
I don't worry about my country's self image. Personally I couldn't give a shit what the world thinks about the US...however their news sources seem to indicate something different. Along with their TVS, radios, pop culture, political positioning etc seems to do.
you say you dont worry about your countrys self image but do you think about the impact your country has on the rest of the world.. or is that something that doesnt worry you either??
As long as we keep chugging along...to be quite honest I couldn't care...and I'm pretty sure that's the feeling of the majority here...and the feeling of citizens for their respective countries worldwide as well.

Google? You want me to learn about US culture in Malta from googling? You've got to be kidding.
Are you missing the point that perhaps you should reconsider the phrase US Culture DOMINATES the world. Do you realize how irrational that sounds? You could say that some US culture is popular in Yemen. Or dang, the Japanese sure do enjoy a Harley. but "Dominate?" Come on man. Its embarrasing. Do you know how old culture from italy is compared to the USA? You've taken history right? Or are we just talking about reality shows and Justin Beiber?

It;s truth actually. I'll use your Yemen example...how much culture from Yemen has trickled into US culture?

That has nothing to do with it. Nice try spinning it around though. Point is -- that you didnt address -- is that US Culture doesn't dominate the world. It simply doesn't. Yes, it spreads easily...but dominate? Nope. This is why the rest of the world thinks were arrogant. I'm done, see ya. Off to the Lounge car...

Your opinion...however the facts don't support that. I think I saw a picture of some kid in Angola wearing Nike sneakers talking on an iPhone once? BTW...I don't spin anything around...just state the facts.

But have huge numbers of French Canadians immigrated there, creating a necessity for French speakers?
You were commenting that you don't know anyone who speaks Spanish, that you'd never seen signs in Spanish or Spanish newspapers, as if Spanish speakers were a rarity in this country. I was trying to say that it's NOT AT ALL unusual in Texas or anywhere in the Southwest to find the things you mentioned. I know many people who speak Spanish and most of them aren't immigrants--they chose to learn it. I'm a health educator and we offer our classes in Spanish.
My point is that this country is more diverse than you're suggesting.
I think the problem is the definition of culture. if you call mass produced sneakers made by children in sweatshops in asia, then yes, I suppose you would be correct.
however, I personally don't call capitalist greed and labour abuse,"culture", but maybe some americans do?

No, you just said you don't know anybody who speaks Spanish and you've never seen a Spanish newspaper, as if that were the final word on people who are bilingual. Dunk said he encountered a lot of that when he traveled the U.S. I'm not surprised because I encounter it every day.
I thought about this yesterday when I got a letter from Toyota about my car. It was in English on one side, Spanish on the other. My water bill comes in both languages.

you and GF keep referring to american commerce (jeans, running shoes, motorcycles) as being cultural. which I personally think is ludicrous. but even so, look up how much of the american economic structure is built. upon the backs of hard working and under paid, sometimes underages foreigners. yep, that's culture for you. :roll:

Emmi, does the U.S dominate headlines in Finland? (Actually, I already know the answer to that last one as I've spent a lot of time in Finland. And the answer is 'No').
I know you already answered this, but just to confirm: No.
Currently the Olympics dominate the headlines, which makes perfect sense. Sadly, I just checked the website of one of the biggest newspapers here and one of the headlines is for yet another mass shooting in America. But it's not at the top of the page or the biggest bit of news.
Also, isn't it depressing that the first bit of news I can see from the US is 7 people having been shot dead? :think: :(
Yes I have. Through Europe actually. They played a lot of US shows on TV, US music on the radio, and they all wore jeans. Pretty sure the entire continent spoke English as well...but that was just pure coincidence.
Interestingly, I've had MTV on for a little while now and out of the last few songs I remember 3 were Finnish, 2 English, one Swedish and 2 American. Way to dominate. :thumbup:
I will admit to speaking English, fluently even. But you know what, it's a second language for me. Actually, it's third, because the two languages spoken in this country come before that. Isn't it fantastic how nicely the whole European continent accommodates Americans? You don't need to know jack shit about other languages, we can help you and then go on to bitch about you in our native tongues. I'm only joking here, but the fact that you were in Europe and could communicate in English proves nothing. Well, I guess nothing other than the huge influence Great Britain had over here.
