Why are more Polish girls marrying Americans? [77]
Slowly but surely other countries lose their identity under the powerful dictatorship ("democratic" dictatorship if you want) of the US.
Dictatorship because they speak English? C'mon the US doesn't impose loss of culture on them. English is just the Lingua Franca at the moment. Just like French was.. people didn't become French in the 1800s, adopt everything French,etc.
Americans have the largest cinematography and show business industry. The vast majority of films you watch produced in the US, they logically paint life and people in the US better than they are, they implant to one's mind the seed of "American dream" and lifestyle in general.
Hollywood is a small element to American life.. Even a lot of Californians don't pay a whole lot of attention to it. It's mostly an industry but also a quirky mindset too. Most people don't subscribe to it. To Hollywood's defense, sure it's a lot of overstated, bogus crap but it also creates a lot of simple happiness, a cheap exploration for a lot of people, sparks dreams and imagination.
You have to ask yourself, why people are so eager to believe in these films. Maybe that's the bigger question.
I just don't want people to lose their identity and origins, don't want people to lose something I like them for, as much as selfish that sounds...
Yep.. Everyone should be selfish in this regard.
