• Cultural imperialism is the displacement of a nation’s customs with those of another country. The global dominance of American media is often resented overseas. Many countries dislike American incursions into their native culture, accusing the United States of cultural imperialism. France and Canada is the example of country that imposed limits on the imports of U.S TV programming. Fear of cultural imperialism is often blamed for anti-Americanism overseas. (Rodman, 2008)
In my opinion, cultural imperialism is a serious problem for a long time warranting serious attention... Serious and drastic measure should be taken to control the circumstance to prevent youth today abandon our traditional culture.( which is happening ritgh now...Facebook is the new culture) The problem with the cultivation of western culture leads to the distortion of reality of the teenager’s perception towards the world.

• language used :harsh and inappropriate.
• a propaganda technique
“Well, Josh Schwartz (fellow co-creator) and I use the term ‘cultural permeation,’ ” said Savage (co creator of Gossip Girl). “We feel it really has had a lot of impact on pop culture in terms of music and fashion and certainly the cast taking off. That’s very rewarding creatively.”(Savage.2010)
The quote is from Stephanie Savage, a co creator of Gossip Girl. She stated that the TV series is trying to create a cultural permeation of to spread or past through so that every aspect is affected.
In short, cultural imperialsm...Not cool! love our culture, don't let it gone extint ..
