Americanization

Today’s business world’s most of the well known heads belong to America. American brands lead all markets. Coke remains a ‘must’ than water for guys who try to imitate Americans. I think, this is not the loyalty for coke and it has become a way of showing their loyalty to America for people who live in those nations which are economically, socially and culturally so far from USA especially for the people who live in third world countries of Asia. Coke reflects the American lifestyle and several etcs. It would be better if we can say ‘Americanizing the world’ rather than saying globalizing. There is no globalizing. It is only Americanizing. We want ipods, iphones, ibangles (the latest Apple’s product) and all other irange products of Apple. We feel proud to say that our role models are Obama, Abraham Lingan, Bill Gates and all other America’s big heads. We watch ‘American idle’ and try to be the first to say that we are the fans of someone who participate in the Programme. We want all what they are doing, we do dream America, we do trust America will bring peace to the world, we do believe Obama will change the world, we want to follow them even if they are doing some rubbish, and are simply Americanizing ourselves. I don’t know how this disease (dream of being an American, imitating Americans and acting as Americans and so on) started? There are some countries which really practice the concepts of socialism and Marxism. Why don’t we bother to make them role models? There are some countries which believe in humanity and the concept of human factor is the best. Why don’t we dream to go there? Why don’t we even consider to think of Japan’s ‘country first, family second and at last myself’ policy? We know only to act like Americans while dating, clubbing and drinking. And I am saying this is more dangerous than AH1M1 as this disease of 'being mad at America' continues to spread each and every minute.
