Explanation:
=== Globalization and Cultural Transformation=======
Since the industrial revolution and all the way to the 20th century, the world has gotten smaller and smaller as the means for transport and communication have gotten easier, faster and cheaper.
By the start of the 21st century, you could video chat with someone sitting 1000s of miles away at a fraction of the cost of what a phone call would cost you 10 years ago.
In such a world, where everyone is so interconnected and the exchange of goods, ideas and business is so fast and easy, it is no surprise that cultural exchanges are becoming so easy and common.
The last 200 years of the world have been dominated by European powers and for the last 2 decades by American culture.
To understand how the world has embraced all that you simply need to talk to any teenager, look at the food they eat, the movies they watch and the language they speak.
People around the world, choose English to learn their language, look to France to learn about Fashion, Eat Mcdonald's and watch American movies.
And while the last generation might do this time to time, it has become part of the lives of the new generation who see American clothes, movies and values as their own.
This is nothing wrong and should be accepted as a natural evolution of how the world works.
