For many multinationals, the answer increasingly seems to be
to downplay any U.S. heritage or even a single global identity.
Neville Isdell, new chief executive of Coca-Cola, is typical of many
business leaders who work hard to stress local credentials with
sports sponsorship and customised advertising. "We are not an
American brand," he says.
Starbucks, the coffee chain, has thrived by making more of its
products' associations with the developing world than of its own
Seattle heritage. But Doug Holt, professor of marketing at the
Said School of Business in Oxford, cautions against running away
from historic roots entirely. "Local is not always better," he warns.
"People assign value to brands that have succeeded globally; that's
why multinational companies do so well."
If nothing else, the trend reveals a declining confidence in the
aspirational pull of the U.S. Simon Anholt, author of Brand
America, sums up how far the U.S. has slipped from its pedestal:
"The world's love affair with America isn't exactly over, but it has
stopped being a blind and unquestioning kind of love."
Questions for Discussion and Writing
1. This article suggests that there are certain products that "mean" America for
people in other countries. Make a list of the ones mentioned in this essay
and then write down what elements of American life you feel they represent.
2. Are there products and foods from other countries that you feel represent
those nations? What kinds of things are you thinking of and what ideas do
they give you about other cultures?
3. Imagine that you are a salesperson and what you are selling is an image of
America. What elements of America would you want to emphasize and what
kinds of products and images might you use to present your sales

W hen Benjamin Franklin went to France in 1776, his assignment was to manipulate the French into supporting the
American war for independence. This he accomplished with two
stratagems: First, he played the balance-of-power game as deftly
as any European diplomat; and second, he waged a subtle but
effective campaign of what we now call public diplomacy, or the

we have to keep asserting our differences and supporting local

particularly in the entertainment and arts industries, we also
need to subsidize local performances and artists, and maintain
Australian content regulations. The lure of freer trade with the
U.S. is certainly no reason to back down on these cultural values.
I worry about the conformity and blandness that comes with

Because of this, parents feel pressured into buying their children
expensive label clothes, teenage girls starve themselves to look

think that "Whatever!" is a witty way of telling someone you

aren't solely the fault of American culture but it does deserve a

My gripes aren't meant to imply a total rejection of American
popular culture or a retreat to some mythical Aussie alternative; like
most Australians there are aspects of American culture I loathe and
aspects I love. My point is that while American products are highly
entertaining and accessible for many people, these products often
have unrivalled distribution and marketing advantages in our soci

that the impression that American culture gives around the world
becomes how other nations get to know the United States. Think
about the popular culture that you are familiar with, and it
becomes easier to understand why the international image of
America is of a country where everyone is rich, has a gun, wears
little clothing, eats pizza and McDonald's, drinks Budweiser and
Rolling Rock, and drives a SUv. We also need to understand why
there is also a growing resistance in some areas of the world to
exactly what U.S. culture represents and fears that national iden

Globalization as Americanization? Beyond the Conspiracy TheoryIOSR Journals
Globalization and its major engines (growing human capital, free markets, increasing cross-border interaction) have created a new world order that has incited passionate debate, pro and con. In recent culture studies, one of the foremost explorations concerns the influence globalization has upon culture. In fact, one of the most common criticisms we hear about the globalization of today‟s world is that it is producing mainly one culture, it is destroying diversity, and it is bringing everyone into the same global culture. Actually, much of the sociological hype about cultural globalization, defined as the diffusion of cultural values and ideas across national borders, sees it as synonymous with homogenization. Cultural globalization is, thus, one of the major concerns of academics, journalists, political activists and leaders of “cultural preservation” movements who despise what they see as the trend toward cultural uniformity. They usually regard global culture and American culture as synonymous and, thus, express serious concerns about their cultural distinctiveness.

the lusts of your masters and overseers. And worse than all, you tamely submit, while
your lords tear your wives from your embraces, and defile them before your eyes. In

you to arise from the dust. Let your motto be Resistance! Resistance! Resistance! no

Henry Highland Garnet, “Address to the Slaves of the United States of America”
When black abolitionist Henry Highland Garnet spoke the
words printed above at the National Convention of Colored
Citizens, held in Buffalo, New York, on August 16, 1843, he
caused a tremendous stir among those assembled. In 1824, when
he was a boy, Garnet had escaped with his family from slavery in Maryland. Thereafter
he received an excellent education while growing up in New York. By the 1840s, he had
become a powerful speaker. But some of the delegates in his audience pointed out that he
was far away from the slaves he claimed to address. Others believed he risked encouraging
a potentially disastrous slave revolt. Therefore, by a narrow margin, the convention
refused to endorse his speech.
In fact, Garnet had not called for slave revolt. He had rhetorically told slaves, “We do not
advise you to attempt a revolution with the sword, because it would be INEXPEDIENT.
Your numbers are too small, and moreover the rising spirit of the age, and the spirit of the
gospel, are opposed to war and bloodshed.” Instead, he advocated a general strike. This,
he contended, would put the onus of initiating violence on masters. Nevertheless, Garnet’s
speech reflected a new militancy among black and white abolitionists that shaped the
antislavery movement during the two decades before the Civil War.
This chapter investigates the causes of that militancy and explores the role of Africa ...

What is Family Resource Management and why is it important to tAnastaciaShadelb

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
from
International Encyclopedia of Marriage and Family
Resource management
is the process in which individuals and families use what they have to get what they want. It begins with thinking and planning and ends with the evaluation of actions taken. Three fundamental concepts in resource management are
values, goals
, and
decision making.
Values such as honesty and trust are principles that guide behavior. They are desirable or important and serve as underlying motivators. Values determine goals, which are sought-after end results. Goals can be implicit or explicit. They can be short-term, intermediate-, or long-term. Decisions are conclusions or judgments about some issue or matter.
Decision making
involves choosing between two or more alternatives and follows a series of steps from inception to evaluation.
Through choices, individuals and families define their lives and influence the lives of others. The study of resource management focuses on order, choices, and control, and how people use time, energy, money, physical space, and information. As an applied social science, it is an academic field that is fundamental to our understanding of human behavior. "The knowledge obtained through the study of management is evaluated in light of its ability to make an individual's or family's management practice more effective" (Goldsmith 2000, p. 5).
Individuals and families have characteristic ways of making decisions and acting called their
management style.
Although similar styles are exhibited within families (such as a tendency to be on time or to finish tasks to completion), there are also wide ranges of styles within families making the study of management intrinsically interesting, especially from a
socialization
point of view. Why do such differences exist and how does the individual's style mesh with that of the other members' styles in the family?
Measuring devices, techniques, or instruments that are used to make decisions and plan courses of action are called management tools. For example, time is a resource and a clock or stopwatch is a management tool.
Resources can be divided up into human and material resources, assets that people have at their disposal.
Material resources
(e.g., bridges, roads, houses) decline through use whereas
human resources
(e.g., the ability to read, ride a bicycle) improve or increase through use.
Human capital
describes the sum total of a person's abilities, knowledge, and skills. Education is one way to develop human capital. Related to this is the concept of social capital. The term
social capital
is gaining in importance in the family-relations field and management is considered ...

The Fresh Detergent CaseEnterprise Industries produces Fresh, AnastaciaShadelb
The Fresh Detergent Case
Enterprise Industries produces Fresh, a brand of liquid detergent. In order to more effectively manage its inventory, the company would like to better predict demand for Fresh. To develop a prediction model, the company has gathered data concerning demand for Fresh over the last 33 sales periods. Each sales period is defined as one month. The variables are as follows:
·
Period = Time period in month
·
Demand = Y = demand for a large size bottle of Fresh (in 100,000)
·
Price = the price of Fresh as offered by Ent. Industries
·
AIP = the Average Industry Price
·
ADV = Enterprise Industries Advertising Expenditure (in $100,000) to Promote Fresh in the sales period.
·
DIFF = AIP - Price = the "price difference" in the sales period
Only the trend of PRICE is negative. Other four variables have positive trends. However, the R2 values suggest that for ADV and DEMAND only the linear model is explained by the data points moderately (66% and 51% respectively). For all the other three variables, the R2 values are too poor to accept the models as adequates because very few percent of data points actually represents the linear model.
As expected, the Demand is negatively correlated with Price. But the regression line equation cannot be relied upon due to poor R2 value. For other three variables, there is a positive correlation. Out of these, for the ADV variable, the regression line can be adequate for the R2 value is moderately higher.
Interpretation
Strong positive correlation is found between
1. PERIOD and ADV
2. PERIOD and DEMAND
3. AIP and DIFF
4. DIFF and ADV
5. DIFF and DEMAND
6. ADV and DEMAND
Strong negative correlation exists between
1. PRICE and DIFF

TBSB NetworkThe Best Sports Broadcasting Network is home to alAnastaciaShadelb
TBSB Network
The Best Sports Broadcasting Network is home to all college football games, events, and updates. From Alabama and Clemson to Mount Union and Wheaton College, Division 1 to Division 3 top to bottom 24/7 college football. Being a college football athlete myself and having played at Clemson University and now here at University of Maryland I understand the different levels of exposure programs and athletes get even across power 5 conferences there is some exposure but different and some more than others. What my goal and plan for TBSB is that we bring the same amounts of awareness and exposure to their programs that the Clemson’s and Alabama’s receive to their programs.
After conducting many research experiments on former college athletes as well as parents, family members of student athletes, and fans I learned that they are not happy with not having the chance to always support and watch programs who aren’t top tier and do not have the same lime light as others. I also found that there is not one particular network that shows all power 5 conference football games on Saturdays, there are different networks you have to pay for monthly to keep up with all football games from different conferences. For example, you have ACC Network, Big 10 Network, and SEC Network for each of these networks you need a different subscription and or certain cable plan. With TBSB we are putting all of these networks under one station to give families, fans, and much more the best possible experience.
I feel like this network will be beneficial to many different people starting with the players. Giving all players who are not receiving a lot of exposure this prime television opportunity for family and friends to watch and cheer them on. Also giving these players opportunities to be evaluated, and scouted by the NFL for those who have that desire. This network will also be beneficial to the university itself, football programs have a chance to increase school’s revenue at any given time. Putting these different schools in the lime light will increase the chances to help up school’s revenue. Last but not least TBSB will be beneficial to families, friends, fans, and much more the people who are not able to make it to the games but would still love to support and cheer on these programs. With the click of a button all of their problems are solved with TBSB giving them the chance to watch not only the games of their loved ones but any other college football games of their choice.
Currently, I am in the process of finalizing the concept and sources of revenue, as of now my guaranteed sources of revenue will come from customers who sign up they will pay a monthly fee. My next source of revenue I want to work with television companies to have TBSB added to their channel listings and work with these different companies for another stream of revenue. These are my biggest “road blocks” at the moment. I also will have to find workers who are willing and dedica ...

It is in your power to torment the God-cursed slaveholders, that they would be glad to
let you go free. . . . But you are a patient people. You act as though you were made for
the special use of these devils. You act as though your daughters were born to pamper
the lusts of your masters and overseers. And worse than all, you tamely submit, while
your lords tear your wives from your embraces, and defile them before your eyes. In
the name of God we ask, are you men? . . . Heaven, as with a voice of thunder, calls on
you to arise from the dust. Let your motto be Resistance! Resistance! Resistance! no
oppressed people have ever secured their Liberty without resistance.
Henry Highland Garnet, “Address to the Slaves of the United States of America”
When black abolitionist Henry Highland Garnet spoke the
words printed above at the National Convention of Colored
Citizens, held in Buffalo, New York, on August 16, 1843, he
caused a tremendous stir among those assembled. In 1824, when
he was a boy, Garnet had escaped with his family from slavery in Maryland. Thereafter
he received an excellent education while growing up in New York. By the 1840s, he had
become a powerful speaker. But some of the delegates in his audience pointed out that he
was far away from the slaves he claimed to address. Others believed he risked encouraging
a potentially disastrous slave revolt. Therefore, by a narrow margin, the convention
refused to endorse his speech.
In fact, Garnet had not called for slave revolt. He had rhetorically told slaves, “We do not
advise you to attempt a revolution with the sword, because it would be INEXPEDIENT.
Your numbers are too small, and moreover the rising spirit of the age, and the spirit of the
gospel, are opposed to war and bloodshed.” Instead, he advocated a general strike. This,
he contended, would put the onus of initiating violence on masters. Nevertheless, Garnet’s
speech reflected a new militancy among black and white abolitionists that shaped the
antislavery movement during the two decades before the Civil War.
This chapter investigates the causes of that militancy and explores the role of Africa ...

What is Family Resource Management and why is it important to tAnastaciaShadelb
"What is Family Resource Management and why is it important to today's American family?"

International encyclopedia of marriage and family
(2nd ed.). Farmington, MI: Gale. Retrieved from
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
from
International Encyclopedia of Marriage and Family
Resource management
is the process in which individuals and families use what they have to get what they want. It begins with thinking and planning and ends with the evaluation of actions taken. Three fundamental concepts in resource management are
values, goals
, and
decision making.
Values such as honesty and trust are principles that guide behavior. They are desirable or important and serve as underlying motivators. Values determine goals, which are sought-after end results. Goals can be implicit or explicit. They can be short-term, intermediate-, or long-term. Decisions are conclusions or judgments about some issue or matter.
Decision making
involves choosing between two or more alternatives and follows a series of steps from inception to evaluation.
Through choices, individuals and families define their lives and influence the lives of others. The study of resource management focuses on order, choices, and control, and how people use time, energy, money, physical space, and information. As an applied social science, it is an academic field that is fundamental to our understanding of human behavior. "The knowledge obtained through the study of management is evaluated in light of its ability to make an individual's or family's management practice more effective" (Goldsmith 2000, p. 5).
Individuals and families have characteristic ways of making decisions and acting called their
management style.
Although similar styles are exhibited within families (such as a tendency to be on time or to finish tasks to completion), there are also wide ranges of styles within families making the study of management intrinsically interesting, especially from a
socialization
point of view. Why do such differences exist and how does the individual's style mesh with that of the other members' styles in the family?
Measuring devices, techniques, or instruments that are used to make decisions and plan courses of action are called management tools. For example, time is a resource and a clock or stopwatch is a management tool.
Resources can be divided up into human and material resources, assets that people have at their disposal.
Material resources
(e.g., bridges, roads, houses) decline through use whereas
human resources
(e.g., the ability to read, ride a bicycle) improve or increase through use.
Human capital
describes the sum total of a person's abilities, knowledge, and skills. Education is one way to develop human capital. Related to this is the concept of social capital. The term

The Fresh Detergent CaseEnterprise Industries produces Fresh, AnastaciaShadelb
The Fresh Detergent Case
Enterprise Industries produces Fresh, a brand of liquid detergent. In order to more effectively manage its inventory, the company would like to better predict demand for Fresh. To develop a prediction model, the company has gathered data concerning demand for Fresh over the last 33 sales periods. Each sales period is defined as one month. The variables are as follows:
·
Period = Time period in month
·
Demand = Y = demand for a large size bottle of Fresh (in 100,000)
·
Price = the price of Fresh as offered by Ent. Industries
·
AIP = the Average Industry Price
·
ADV = Enterprise Industries Advertising Expenditure (in $100,000) to Promote Fresh in the sales period.
·
DIFF = AIP - Price = the "price difference" in the sales period
Only the trend of PRICE is negative. Other four variables have positive trends. However, the R2 values suggest that for ADV and DEMAND only the linear model is explained by the data points moderately (66% and 51% respectively). For all the other three variables, the R2 values are too poor to accept the models as adequates because very few percent of data points actually represents the linear model.
As expected, the Demand is negatively correlated with Price. But the regression line equation cannot be relied upon due to poor R2 value. For other three variables, there is a positive correlation. Out of these, for the ADV variable, the regression line can be adequate for the R2 value is moderately higher.
Interpretation
Strong positive correlation is found between
1. PERIOD and ADV
2. PERIOD and DEMAND
3. AIP and DIFF
4. DIFF and ADV
5. DIFF and DEMAND
6. ADV and DEMAND
Strong negative correlation exists between
1. PRICE and DIFF

TBSB NetworkThe Best Sports Broadcasting Network is home to alAnastaciaShadelb
TBSB Network
The Best Sports Broadcasting Network is home to all college football games, events, and updates. From Alabama and Clemson to Mount Union and Wheaton College, Division 1 to Division 3 top to bottom 24/7 college football. Being a college football athlete myself and having played at Clemson University and now here at University of Maryland I understand the different levels of exposure programs and athletes get even across power 5 conferences there is some exposure but different and some more than others. What my goal and plan for TBSB is that we bring the same amounts of awareness and exposure to their programs that the Clemson’s and Alabama’s receive to their programs.
After conducting many research experiments on former college athletes as well as parents, family members of student athletes, and fans I learned that they are not happy with not having the chance to always support and watch programs who aren’t top tier and do not have the same lime light as others. I also found that there is not one particular network that shows all power 5 conference football games on Saturdays, there are different networks you have to pay for monthly to keep up with all football games from different conferences. For example, you have ACC Network, Big 10 Network, and SEC Network for each of these networks you need a different subscription and or certain cable plan. With TBSB we are putting all of these networks under one station to give families, fans, and much more the best possible experience.
I feel like this network will be beneficial to many different people starting with the players. Giving all players who are not receiving a lot of exposure this prime television opportunity for family and friends to watch and cheer them on. Also giving these players opportunities to be evaluated, and scouted by the NFL for those who have that desire. This network will also be beneficial to the university itself, football programs have a chance to increase school’s revenue at any given time. Putting these different schools in the lime light will increase the chances to help up school’s revenue. Last but not least TBSB will be beneficial to families, friends, fans, and much more the people who are not able to make it to the games but would still love to support and cheer on these programs. With the click of a button all of their problems are solved with TBSB giving them the chance to watch not only the games of their loved ones but any other college football games of their choice.
Currently, I am in the process of finalizing the concept and sources of revenue, as of now my guaranteed sources of revenue will come from customers who sign up they will pay a monthly fee. My next source of revenue I want to work with television companies to have TBSB added to their channel listings and work with these different companies for another stream of revenue. These are my biggest “road blocks” at the moment. I also will have to find workers who are willing and dedica ...

There is a saying that states one can only learn through doing it, practically and physically. It is the explanation as to why it is very important to implement the skills acquired in theory into practice to ascertain one’s competence. This is even more crucial in the medical field as they have no choice but just to be perfect at what they are doing, the only secret is through practice. Practicums connect the two worlds of theory and classwork, thus breaking the monotony alongside connecting what was taught in class with what happens in the field. They are important as apart from sharpening the student’s skills, they also open a window of opportunity and build up connections that will come in handy for the student later on. They will feel the experience and the pressure that comes with it thus preparing themselves accordingly.
Statement of the Problem
Timing is essential in the nursing field and the Emergency Room is notorious for its long wait times. The goal of a clinical laboratory is to deliver medically useful results for patients on a timely basis. This goal can be hindered by the new paradigm of the modern laboratory – “do more with less" (Lopez, 2020). When implementing new care models for patients, the patient perspective is critical. The objective of this study was to describe and develop an understanding of the information needs of patients in the ED waiting room concerning ED wait time notification (Calder, 2021). As a patient arrives at the ER waiting area, it's critical to have lab results for the provider to evaluate. I can give you an example of a patient that waited in the waiting room for over 3 hours, no labs were completed because they were waiting for the patient to go back into a room. The patient was suffering from a heart attack and his troponins were elevated and no one knew until 3 hours later. If POC labs were done on all patients as soon as they arrived, mistakes like these can be avoided. Completed POC blood can cut the wait times in half and the laboratory also won't be backed up on resulting lab specimens.
PICOT Question
Question: Is there a significant decrease in Emergency Department patient length of stay (LOS) for those whose blood was analyzed using POC testing versus those whose blood was analyzed using laboratory testing?
· P-Population= emergency room patients
· I-Intervention or Exposure= POC testing of blood specimens
· C-Comparison= Laboratory blood specimens
· O-Outcome= Decrease patient stay in the emergency room
· T-Time = N/A
History of the Issue
The length of patient stay in the emergency department (ED) is an issue that not only increases the severity of illnesses but also reduces the quality of patient care. Serious health conditions including diabetes and hypertension can worsen while patients are ...

1. Do you believe that Joe Trosh has the right to carry a concealed weapon in the hospitaldue to being harassed for visiting casinos?
Part IA: The Purpose of the Report and the Problem
The purpose of the report is to solve the problem of whether or not Joe Trosh has the right to carry a concealed weapon in the hospital as a reason for self-defense against discrimination and harassment from the staff of a rural hospital in Oklahoma. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, harassment is a form of employment that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Age Discrimination Employment Act of 1967, and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("Equal Employment Opportunity Commission," n.d.).
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission outlined that “harassment’’ based on race/color discrimination means unwelcome conduct that is based on color, religious background, sex, national origin, older age, disability, or genetic information that is based on medical history ("U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission," n.d.).
Hirsch (2018) stated that the impact of discrimination on racism often creates challenges that the human resource manager is responsible for overcoming. In a workplace, racism is evident through macroaggression, defined as indirect, subtle, and unintentional acts of discrimination against marginalized groups.
Harassment based on stereotypes can affect an organization’s decision-making process in many ways, such as making a quick judgment without looking at the consequences. It also makes people feel preconceptions about a specific group of people leading to harsh treatment.in addition, harassment of stereotypes leads to fixed beliefs about the place of women and men in society.
Managers need to know about the Second Amendment right to bear arms and U.S. Supreme Court Cases that examine this issue because it will protect the hospital from legal matters ("Cornell Law School," n.d.). The District of Columbia v. Heller case in which the supreme court held in 2008 on the second Amendment regarding firearm possession. It gives one the right to possess firearms, independent of service in state militia use the guns for self-defense.
A potential legal issue the Supervisor must consider is how to handle discipline decisions that involve employees who have experienced discrimination through harassment by co-workers. According to the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act, it is “not right for a person to identify themselves as a licensed handgun or as lawfully in possession of any other firemen if the law does not demand information."
Part 1B The Research Experience
To perform my research, I began with online research. I used Google and searched for articles rights of carrying weapons to work as a form of self-defense and discrimination and harassment in the place of work.

INTRODUCTION1.1 Background to research problem
Health care is critical in any society. Managing patient’s data goes a long way in ensuring good treatment measures are taken. Health care information therefore must be collected correctly and stored in a manner which abides by the principled of confidentiality, integrity and accessibility (Kaushal et al., 2009). Data regarding a patient should be kept confidential as much as possible and only retrieved when needed. A good health records management system should be able to confidentially store patient’s data. Each patient should have an account within the system where their data is stored. Access to this data should be given on privileges basis and only to individuals who will use it for treatment of the patient. The patient’s data in a good health information management system should be of high integrity. Data should be collected from the source (the patient) and recorded during the collection process. Having an intermediary stage where data is recorded in in a secondary avenue before being transferred to the primary system could lead to errors thus compromising its integrity. A good health information management system should also ...

Thesis Statement: Facebook, which emerged as a standalone website, is used worldwide. Facebook has emerged as one of the 21st century's largest companies, with a consumer base of people who understand the word internet.
Title of Paper: Facebook Website
I. Introduction
A. Attention grabbing sentence about topic
Facebook, which emerged as a standalone website, is used worldwide. Skyrocketing revenues' simplified version of the term perception is a way of perceiving or viewing things and refers to how the brain knows how things are or processes things (Mosquera et al.,2020).
B. Thesis statement
Facebook, which emerged as a standalone website, is used worldwide. Facebook has emerged as one of the 21st century's largest companies, with a consumer base of people who understand the word internet.
II. First paragraph main point – topic sentence
The case in this study involves deciphering the website perception elements and related responses to the same crucial points as follows:
A. Supporting details (in-text citation for outside resource used as support/evidence)
1. Details about the supporting details
Sensory response refers to the way we respond to specific website visual elements. The website contains both a design pattern and a logo which most individuals worldwide are aware of today.
2. Details about the supporting details
The image of the logo is a letter f-like. The most dominant colour in the ad on Facebook is blue and white shades used to design and highlight the tangible symbol.
B. Supporting details (in-text citation)
There are also lines and shapes in the logo, and as mentioned, the logo lines include lines and a square box forming a bold character, 'f' and highlighting the Facebook company name (Plantin et al.,2018). Contrast and balance are also incorporated. There is contrast present and light colours in the image that easily distinguish the Facebook symbol from other symbols such as WhatsApp and YouTube. The balance is indicated in the proper depiction of the 'F' symbol, highlighting everything around the same.
C. Transition sentence
On the other hand, perceptual response refers to the number of groups of persons attracted to the ad and those not attracted.
III. Second paragraph main point – topic sentence
Though perceptual response targets a potential user base involving many people from any age group, ethnicity, or age, it is more dominant among the youth, in my view.
A. Supporting details (in-text citation)
The aged have no more time in the Facebook like the youth who are in desire remain informed and have interest in sharing their feelings and information through the platform (Plantin et al.,2018).
1. Details about the supporting details
The technical response involves specific elements, including buttons and dropdowns worldwide, which technically impact the user.

Experience
During my clinical placement in a neurosurgical unit, we would occasionalJy exa mine epilepsy
patients to document any seizures. These patients rarely require substantial nursing care, and
most are self-sufficient with only 1-2 prescriptions administered every six hours. I was working
an early shift, and my buddy nurse assigned me to three patients, one of whom was under
examination for a seizure. My buddy nurse handed me the drawer keys and indicated the
medication was in the side drawer when I went with my nurse to provide the patient medication.
Looking over the initial purchase, I began my safety check prior to dispensing the prescription
and discovered that it had expired in February 2019. I requested that my preceptor come over
and take a look at the package. She realized the medication was out of date when she noticed the
expiration date. She then went out of the room with the packaging. When she returned, she
indicated that she had reported the event to the NUM. I then inquired if there was anything else
we needed to do, but I was respectfully told to stay out of it. I took a set of vitals on the patient,
which were all normal, and the buddy nurse was given a new pack of medication that was still
usable. I felt accomplished at the end of my shift since I had followed the procedure for providing
the correct medication and had identified the problem. Being a part. of event reporting and alerting
the doctors, on the other hand, would have been a great experience. Overall, I followed NSHQS's
safety requirements and medication standards when performing my nursing responsibilities.

Topic
How can the fourth industrial revolution technologies be used to address the current climatic issues facing the world?
General Reasoning
I selected this research topic because climatic change has become a major concern today, with world leaders and researchers trying to develop ways to address this concern. There are several adverse impacts of climatic change on the world. One of the adverse effects is that humans and animals face new challenges for their survival due to the consequences of climatic change. Climatic change has resulted in increased temperature levels in the world, rising sea levels, shrinking glaciers, and increased ocean temperatures. It has resulted in frequent and intense droughts, storms, and heat waves threatening animals' lives. It has also resulted in biodiversity loss due to limited adaptability and the economic implications of these climatic changes. One of the ways that can be used to deal with climatic issues is through the use of technology which can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The fourth revolution technologies such as the internet of things, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing can play a vital role in addressing these climatic challenges.
Potential thesis
The fourth industrial revolution technologies such as the internet of things, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing can play a vital role in addressing these climatic challenges; therefore, it is important to determine how these technologies can be utilized to achieve the environmental objectives of the world.
Thesis map for your Literature Review
The literature review will consist of articles that have been published over the five years. It will consist of journals and articles that have researched fourth industrial revolutions that can be used to address climatic change.
The research topic I selected for my dissertation is related to the program goals and core courses by addressing the revolution of technology and its applications in addressing the world's challenges.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. 172 Martha
For many multinationals, the answer increasingly seems to be
to downplay any U.S. heritage or even a single global identity.
Neville Isdell, new chief executive of Coca-Cola, is typical of
many
business leaders who work hard to stress local credentials with
sports sponsorship and customised advertising. "We are not an
American brand," he says.
Starbucks, the coffee chain, has thrived by making more of its
products' associations with the developing world than of its own
Seattle heritage. But Doug Holt, professor of marketing at the
Said School of Business in Oxford, cautions against running
away
from historic roots entirely. "Local is not always better," he
warns.
"People assign value to brands that have succeeded globally;
that's
why multinational companies do so well."
If nothing else, the trend reveals a declining confidence in the
aspirational pull of the U.S. Simon Anholt, author of Brand
America, sums up how far the U.S. has slipped from its
pedestal:
"The world's love affair with America isn't exactly over, but it
has
stopped being a blind and unquestioning kind of love."

Davis for The New York Times and is a contributor to the Wall
Street Journal. In this article, published in The Washington Post
on

popular
culture that are exported from the United States influence the
views of
those overseas, and how they directly impact other cultures.
+-----
W hen Benjamin Franklin went to France in 1776, his
assign-ment was to manipulate the French into supporting the
American war for independence. This he accomplished with two
stratagems: First, he played the balance-of-power game as
deftly
as any European diplomat; and second, he waged a subtle but
effective campaign of what we now call public diplomacy, or
the
use of information and culture to foster goodwill toward the
nation. For Franklin, this meant turning his dumpy self into a
symbol. "He knew that America had a unique and powerful
mean-
ing for the enlightened reformers of France," writes historian
Bernard Bailyn, "and that he himself ... was the embodiment,
the
palpable expression, of that meaning." Hence the fur cap and
rustic manner that made Franklin a celebrity among the
powdered wigs and gilded ornaments of the court of Louis XVI.
Today, as we witness the decline of America's reputation
around the world, we're paying far more attention to Franklin's
first stratagem than to his second. Indeed, despite a mounting
stack of reports recommending drastic changes in the organiza-
tion and funding of public diplomacy, very little of substance
has
been done. And most Americans, including many who make it
their business to analyze public diplomacy, seem unmindful of
the negative impression that America has recently been making
4. on the rest of humanity-via our popular culture.
A striking pattern has emerged since the end of the Cold War.
On the one hand, funding for public diplomacy has been cut by
more than 30 percent since 1989, the National Science Board
reported last year. On the other hand, while Washington was
shrinking its funding for cultural diplomacy, Hollywood was
aggressively expanding its exports. The Yale Center for the
Study
of Globalization reports that between 1986 and 2000 the
generated by the export of filmed and taped entertainment went
from $1.68 billion to $8.85 billion-an increase of 427 rlPf'C'Pln
Foreign box-office revenue has grown faster than domestic, and
now approaches a 2-to-1 ratio. The pattern is similar for music,
TV and video games.
174 Martha Bayles
This massive export of popular culture has been accompanied
by domestic worries about its increasingly coarse and violent
tone-worries that now go beyond the polarized debates of the
pre-9111 culture war. For example, a number of prominent
African Americans, such as Bill Stephney, co-founder of the rap
group Public Enemy, have raised concerns about the normaliza-
tion of crime and prostitution in gangsta and "crunk" rap. And
in
April 2005, the Pew Research Center reported that "roughly six-
in-ten [Americans] say they are very concerned over what chil-
dren see or hear on TV (61%), in music lyrics (61%), video
games
(60%) and movies (56%)."
These worries now have a global dimension. The 2003 report of
the U.S. House of Representatives Advisory Group on Public
5. Diplomacy for the Arab and Muslim World stated that "Arabs
and
Muslims are ... bombarded with American sitcoms, violent
films,
and other entertainment, much of which distorts the perceptions
of
viewers." The report made clear that what seems innocuous to
Americans can cause problems abroad: "A Syrian teacher of
English
asked us plaintively for help in explaining American family life
to
her students. She asked, 'Does Friends show a typical family?'"
One of the few efforts to measure the impact of popular
culture abroad was made by Louisiana State University
researchers Melvin and Margaret De Fleur, who in 2003 polled
teenagers in 12 countries: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, South Korea,
Mexico, China, Spain, Taiwan, Lebanon, Pakistan, Nigeria,
Italy
and Argentina. Their conclusion, while tentative, is nonetheless
suggestive: "The depiction of Americans in media content as
violent, of American women as sexually immoral and of many
Americans engaging in criminal acts has brought many of these
1,313 youthful subjects to hold generally negative attitudes
toward people who live in the United States."
Popular culture is not a monolith, of course. Along with a lot
of junk, the entertainment industry still produces films, musical
recordings, even television shows that rise to the level of
genuine
art. The good (and bad) news is that censorship is a thing of the
past, on both the producing and the consuming end of popular
culture. Despite attempts by radical clerics in Iraq to clamp
down
on Western influences, pirated copies of American movies still
make it onto the market there. If we go by box office figures,
6. the
most popular films in the world are blockbusters like Harry
Potter.
But America is also exporting more than enough depictions of
profanity, nudity, violence and criminal activity to violate
norms
of propriety still honored in much of the world.
Exporting the Wrong Picture 175
But instead of questioning whether Americans should be
super-sizing to others the same cultural diet that is giving us
indi-
gestion at home, we still seem to congratulate ourselves that our
popular culture now pervades just about every society on Earth,
including many that would rather keep it out. Why this
disconnect?
Partly it is due to an ingrained belief that what's good for show
business is good for America's image. During both world wars,
the movie studios produced propaganda for the government, in
exchange for government aid in opening resistant foreign
markets.
Beginning in 1939, the recording industry cooperated with the
Armed Forces Network to beam jazz to American soldiers
overseas,
and during the Cold War it helped the Voice of America (VOA)
do
the same for 30 million listeners behind the Iron Curtain.
In his book, Cultural Exchange & the Cold War, veteran
foreign service officer Yale Richmond quotes the Russian
novelist
Vasily Aksyonov, for whom those VOA jazz broadcasts were
"America's secret weapon number one." Aksyonov said that "the
snatches of music and bits of information made for a kind of
golden glow over the horizon ... the West, the inaccessible but
7. oh
so desirable West."
To my knowledge, this passage has not been quoted in
defense of Radio Sawa, the flagship of the U.S. government's
new fleet of broadcast channels aimed at reaching young,
largely
Arab audiences. But even if it were, who could imagine such a
reverent, yearning listener in the Middle East, South Asia or
anywhere else today? The difference is not just between short-
wave radio and unlimited broadband, it is also between Duke
Ellington and 50 Cent.
During the Cold War, Washington also boosted the commer-
cial export of popular culture, adhering to the view set forth in
a
1948 State Department memo: "American motion pictures,
as ambassadors of good will-at no cost to the American tax-
payers-interpret the American way of life to all the nations of
the
world, which may be invaluable from a political. cultural, and
commercial point of view."
And this boosterism continued through the 1960s and '70s,
even as movies and rock music became not just unruly but

service understood his symbolic importance to dissidents,
includ-
ing Czech playwright (and later president) Vaclev Havel. In
general. the u.s. political establishment was content to let
America's homegrown counterculture do its subversive thing in
Eastern Europe and Russia.
In the 1980s, the mood changed. Under Ronald Reagan
appointee Charles Z. Wick, the United States Information
Agency
(USIA), the autonomous agency set up in 1953 to disseminate
information and handle cultural exchange, was more generously
funded and invited to playa larger role in policymaking-but at
the
price of having its autonomy curbed and the firewall between
cultural outreach and policy advocacy thinned. It is noteworthy
that these changes occurred amid the acrimony of the culture
wars.
Like the National Endowment for the Arts and public
broadcasting,
the USIA eventually found itself on Sen. Jesse Helms's list of
artsy
agencies deserving of the budgetary tax. And while the others
managed to survive, the USIA did not. In 1999 it was absorbed
into
the very different bureaucratic culture of the State Department.
Today we witness the outcome: an unwarranted dismissal of
elite-oriented cultural diplomacy, combined with an unques-
tioned faith in the export of popular culture. These converge in
the decision to devote the bulk of post-9Ill funding to Radio
Sawa and the other commercial-style broadcast entities, such as
al-Hurra (a U.S.-based satellite TV network aimed at Arab
listen-
9. ers) and Radio Farda (which is broadcast in Farsi to Iran).
Because the establishment of these new channels has been
accompanied by the termination of the VOXs Arabic service,
crit-
ics have focused largely on their news components. But what
benefit is there in Radio Sawa's heavy rotation of songs by sex
kitten Britney Spears and foul-mouthed rapper Eminem?
To the charge that the Bush administration is peddling smut
and profanity to Arab teens, Radio Sawa's music director,
Usama
Farag, has stated that all the offensive lyrics are carefully
edited
out. Yet there is something quaint about the U.S. government's
censoring song lyrics in a world where most people have ready
access to every product of the American entertainment industry,
including the dregs.
American popular culture is no longer a beacon of freedom
to huddled masses in closed societies. Instead, it's a glut on the
market and, absent any countervailing cultural diplomacy, our
de
facto ambassador to the world. The solution to this problem is
far from clear. Censorship is not the answer, because even if it
were technologically possible to censor our cultural exports, it
Exporting the Wrong Picture 177
would not be politic. The United States must affirm the crucial
importance of free speech in a world that has serious doubts
about it, and the best way to do this is to show that freedom is
self-correcting-that Americans have not only liberty but also a
civilization worthy of liberty.
From Franklin's days, U.S. cultural diplomacy has had both an
elite and a popular dimension. Needless to say, it has rarely
10. been
easy to achieve a perfect balance between the two. What we
could
do is try harder to convey what the USIA mandate used to call
"a full
and fair picture of the United States." But to succeed even a
little,
our new efforts must counter the negative self-portrait we are
now
exporting. Along with worrying about what popular culture is
teach-
ing our children about life, we need also to worry about what it
is
teaching the world about America.
Questions for Discussion and Writing
1. In this article it is reported that in a survey of youths
overseas "the depiction
of Americans in media content as violent, of American women
as sexually
immoral and of many Americans engaging in criminal acts has
brought many
of these 1,313 youthful subjects to hold generally negative
attitudes toward
people who live in the United States." Is this due to the media
depiction of
America or does it have to do with the attitudes and
understanding of the
viewers in other countries? How responsible should the media
outlets be
about the ways in which the United States is represented in
entertainment?
2. Martha Bayles seems to suggest that the concepts of
diplomacy and
11. popular culture are at odds with each other and that the desired
impact of
diplomacy is undercut by the violence. profanity, and nudity in
popular
culture. Do you think that she is right or is she underestimating
the
of foreign viewers and listeners to tell the difference?
3. The writer states that "The United States must affirm the
crucial importance
of free speech in a world that has serious doubts about it, and
the best way
to do this is to show that freedom is self-correcting-that
Americans have
not only liberty but also a civilization worthy of liberty." What
do you
take to mean by "self-correcting"? What would be the
advantages of this
approach and what could be the possible problems?

imperialism." One of the central issues to remember at all times
is
that the impression that American culture gives around the
world
becomes how other nations get to know the United States. Think
about the popular culture that you are familiar with, and it
14. becomes easier to understand why the international image of
America is of a country where everyone is rich, has a gun,
wears
little clothing, eats pizza and McDonald's, drinks Budweiser and
Rolling Rock, and drives a SUv. We also need to understand
why
there is also a growing resistance in some areas of the world to
exactly what U.S. culture represents and fears that national
iden-
tity will be lost in the flood of American media and product.

A merican culture is part of Australian mass consumer culture,
like it or not, dude! It dominates our television, radio stations,
movie theatres, fashion and our imagination. We are effectively
governed from Washington DC with our cultural menu set by
producers in Los Angeles and designers in New York.
Resistance is
futile and likely to mean you are totally uncool. In short, we are
all
Americans now. This summary of affairs is, of course, an
exagger-
ated view of reality, although plenty of Australians probably
watch
American sitcoms, own American CDs and DVDs, and dress in
American fashion labels right down to their Calvin Klein
underwear.
Bored with USA? 161
Those who reject claims of American cultural imperialism i n
Australia might respond: Isn't talk of American songs or under-
wear an overly nationalistic outlook? Isn't a lot of American
culture just part of mass consumer culture, as the U.S. has the
biggest studios, media empires, fashion companies, and market-
ing machines? And don't American talent houses draw on the
best
ideas and individuals from around the globe?
However, such responses present only part of the story.
Global and Australian culture clearly has been Americanized,
particularly since World War II. Although put-downs of
American culture often run roughshod over the sheer diversity
of
American cultural output, it is entirely understandable that
16. people worry about local business and art being overrun by
American cultural icons such as McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Time
AOL and so on.
Others worry about our obsession with middle class
American life via the tube. The world of TV viewers often
knows
far more about American high schools and colleges, American
court rooms and police precincts, and American hospitals and
office life than they know about their own society.
I worry that Australians are familiar with Frasier's Seattle and
Ally McBeal's Chicago but have no popular equivalents set in
Darwin, let alone Jakarta. Familiarity may breed contempt
(recent outpourings of anti-Americanism are a case in point),
but
familiarity can also lead to greater awareness, comfort with
difference and a sense of who we are.
My fellow university colleagues sometimes remark that the
basic knowledge students have of how the American legal and
political system works is often drawn from Law and Order or
West
Wing rather than from their own high school education. It
certainly
is hard to compete with American TV. One of my students
recently
commented that lecturers in my department needed to be more
like
American professors. I told them that with make-up on and
viewed
on TV, I sound a lot more impressive. I am not sure they were
convinced; maybe I need to work on my New England accent.
The relative size of the American cultural industry makes it an
increasing part of Australian language and the way we describe
17. ourselves-for instance, an Australian is just as likely as an
American to say: "Lleyton Hewitt is like such a Rocky
wannabe."
Faced with this situation, is resisting American cultural colo-
nization futile-the cultural equivalent of being a Luddite?
I favor a dialogue between cultures, recognizing that our culture
is fluid and open to outside influences. But dialogue is difficult
162 Brendon O'Connor
when you're the smaller and poorer cousin. Because of our size
we have to keep asserting our differences and supporting local
talent, ideas and products. To have a vibrant Australian culture,
particularly in the entertainment and arts industries, we also
need to subsidize local performances and artists, and maintain
Australian content regulations. The lure of freer trade with the
U.S. is certainly no reason to back down on these cultural
values.
I worry about the conformity and blandness that comes with
much American popular culture. I would add to this concern an
unease with the power of American advertising and marketing.
Because of this, parents feel pressured into buying their
children
expensive label clothes, teenage girls starve themselves to look
like Video Hits dancers, and every second individual seems to
think that "Whatever!" is a witty way of telling someone you
don't want to listen to their point of view. These superficialities
aren't solely the fault of American culture but it does deserve a
fair amount of the blame. For me they reflect a worrying
confor-
mity in our culture.
18. My gripes aren't meant to imply a total rejection of American
popular culture or a retreat to some mythical Aussie alternative;
like
most Australians there are aspects of American culture I loathe
and
aspects I love. My point is that while American products are
highly
entertaining and accessible for many people, these products
often
have unrivalled distribution and marketing advantages in our
soci-
ety. That said, and given that the commercial power of the
American
cultural industry is likely to continue well into the future, a
sense of
local pride and government support of Australian talent is
undoubt-
edly needed to maintain our own distinct, and evolving, culture.
Questions for Discussion and Writing
1. Brendon O'Connor seems concerned with the idea that
American cultural
influence will lead to a homogenized world culture where
everything will
look the same and local differences will be less apparent. Do
you have the
same concerns as he does? Explain.
2. What would be the advantages to America and Australia if
culture did erase cul-
tural difference, as O'Connor discusses here? What would be the
disadvantages?
3. O'Connor says that his students learn about what
education should look like
19. and how the law works from television shows. Is the same true
for you? How
does American culture affect the way you see institutions and
social proce-
dure? List shows that deal with the law, medicine, and politiCS.
How do you

Mark Rice-Oxley is a correspondent for the Christian Science
Monitor, where this article appeared on January 15, 2004. He
reports from his home in London, United Kingdom. In his
article
he discusses the spread of American culture around the world
and
the various forms it takes. He notes that some nations are
rebelling
against such cultural imperialism as they fear their own sense of
national culture and identity is at risk of being lost. The other
issue
at the center of this article is the question ofhow durable
American
influence will be in the future.

preceded it. The difference is that today's technology flings
culture to every corner of the globe with blinding speed. If it

when you're the smaller and poorer cousin. Because of our size
we have to keep asserting our differences and supporting local
talent, ideas and products. To have a vibrant Australian culture,
particularly in the entertainment and arts industries, we also
need to subsidize local performances and artists, and maintain
Australian content regulations. The lure of freer trade with the
U.S. is certainly no reason to back down on these cultural
values.
I worry about the conformity and blandness that comes with
much American popular culture. I would add to this concern an
unease with the power of American advertising and marketing.
Because of this, parents feel pressured into buying their
children
expensive label clothes, teenage girls starve themselves to look
like Video Hits dancers, and every second individual seems to
think that "Whatever!" is a witty way of telling someone you
don't want to listen to their point of view. These superficialities
aren't solely the fault of American culture but it does deserve a
fair amount of the blame. For me they reflect a worrying
confor-
mity in our culture.
My gripes aren't meant to imply a total rejection of American
popular culture or a retreat to some mythical Aussie alternative;
like
most Australians there are aspects of American culture I loathe
and
aspects I love. My point is that while American products are
highly
22. entertaining and accessible for many people, these products
often
have unrivalled distribution and marketing advantages in our
soci-
ety. That said, and given that the commercial power of the
American
cultural industry is likely to continue well into the future, a
sense of
local pride and government support of Australian talent is
undoubt-
edly needed to maintain our own distinct, and evolving, culture.
Questions for Discussion and Writing
1. Brendon O'Connor seems concerned with the idea that
American cultural
influence will lead to a homogenized world culture where
everything will
look the same and local differences will be less apparent. Do
you have the
same concerns as he does? Explain.
2. What would be the advantages to America and Australia if
culture did erase cul-
tural difference, as O'Connor discusses here? What would be the
disadvantages?
3. O'Connor says that his students learn about what
education should look like
and how the law works from television shows. Is the same true
for you? How
does American culture affect the way you see institutions and
social proce-
dure? List shows that deal with the law, medicine, and politics.
How do you
account for their popularity and influence?

world force in terms of cultural imperialism [and] expansion,"
164 Mark Rice-Oxley
says Ian Ralston, American studies director at Liverpool John
Moores University. "The areas that particularly spring to mind
are
Hollywood, popular music, and even literature." But what some
25. call "McDomination" has created a backlash in certain cultures.
And it's not clear whether fast food, Disney, or rock 'n' roll will
change the world the way Homer or Shakespeare has.
CRICKET OR BASKETBALL?
Stick a pin in a map and there you'll find an example of U.S.
influence. Hollywood rules the global movie market, with up to
90 percent of audiences in some European countries. Even in
Africa, 2 of 3 films shown are American. Few countries have
yet to
be touched by McDonald's and Coca-Cola. Starbucks recently
opened up a new front in South America, and everyone's got a
Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt from somewhere exotic. West Indian
sports enthusiasts increasingly watch basketball, not cricket.
Baseball has long since taken root in Asia and Cuba. And
Chinese
young people are becoming more captivated by American
football
and basketball, some even daubing the names of NBA stars on
their school sweatsuits. The NFL plans to roll out a Chinese
version of its website this month. Rupert Murdoch's satellites,
with their heavy traffic of U.S. audiovisual content, saturate the
Asian subcontinent. American English is the language of choice
for would-be pop stars in Europe, software programmers in
India,
and Internet surfers everywhere.
America's preeminence is hardly surprising. Superpowers
have throughout the ages sought to perpetuate their way of life:
from the philosophy and mythology of the ancient Greeks to the
law and language of the Romans; from the art and architecture
of
the Tang Dynasty and Renaissance Italy to the sports and
systems
of government of the British. "Most empires think their own
26. point
of view is the only correct point of view," says Robert Young,
an
expert in postcolonial cultural theory at Oxford University. "It's
the certainty they get because of the power they have, and they
expect to impose it on everyone else."
Detractors of cultural imperialism argue, however, that
cultural domination poses a totalitarian threat to diversity. In
the
American case, "McDomination" poses several dangers.
First, local industries are truly at risk of extinction because of
U.S. oligopolies, such as Hollywood. For instance in 2000, the
European Union handed out 1 billion euros to subsidize
Europe's
In 2,000 Years, Will the World Remember Disney or Plato? 165
film industry. Even the relatively successful British movie
industry
has no control over distribution, which is almost entirely in the
hands of the Hollywood majors.
Second, political cultures are being transformed by the
personality-driven American model in countries as far-reaching
as
Japan and the Philippines.
Finally, U.S. domination of technologies such as the Internet
and satellite TV means that, increasingly, America monopolizes
the view people get of the world. According to a recent report
for
the UN Conference on Trade and Development, 13 of the top 14
Internet firms are American. No. 14 is British. "You have to
know
27. English if you want to use the Internet," says Andre Kaspi, a
professor at the Sorbonne in Paris.
A main problem is that culture is no longer a protected
species, but subject to the inexorable drive for free trade, says
Joost Smiers, a political science professor at the Utrecht School
of the Arts. This means that it is increasingly difficult for coun-
tries to protect their own industries. France tries to do so with
subsidies, while South Korea has tried quotas. Such "protection-
ist" tactics meet with considerable U.S. muscle, Dr. Smiers
says.
"America's aggressive cultural policy ... hinders national states
from regulating their own cultural markets," he says. "We
should take culture out of the WTO."
Another danger, detractors say, is the consolidation of the
communications industry into a few conglomerates such as
AOL·
TimeWarner, Disney, and News Corporation, which means that
the "infotainment" generated for global consumption nearly
always comes from an Anglophone perspective. "You can't go
on
with just three music companies organizing and distributing
85 percent of the music in the world," says Smiers. "It's against
all
principles of democracy. Every emotion, every feeling, every
image can be copyrighted into the hands of a few owners."
AMERICAN, WITH A TWIST
A backlash is being felt in certain places. In Japan, locals have
taken U.S. ideas like hip-hop and fast food, and given them a
Japanese twist, says Dominic al-Badri, editor of Kansai Time
Out.
In Germany, there is still strong resistance to aspects of U.S.
pop
28. culture, though there is an appetite for its intellectual culture,
says Gary Smith, director of the American Academy in Berlin.
In
France, resistance is growing partly because of frustrations over
166 Mark Rice-Oxley
the Iraq war-but partly because Americanization is already so
advanced in the country, says Mr. Kaspi.
He notes one interesting anecdotal sign of u.s. influence-
and the futility of resistance. France has repeatedly tried to
man-
date the use of French language in official capacities to check
the
advance of English. "But most of the time, the law is impossible
to
apply, because if you want to be understood around the world
you
have to speak English," Kaspi says.
In the Philippines, even the best U.S. ideals have caused
complications. "The pervasive American influence has saddled
us with two legacies," notes respected local commentator
Antonio C. Abaya. "American-style elections, which require the
commitment of massive financial resources, which have to be
recouped and rolled over many times, which is the main source
of corruption in government; and American-style free press in
which media feel free to attack and criticize everything that the
government does or says, which adds to disunity and loss of
confidence in government."
Meanwhile, for all the strength of the u.s. movie industry,
sometimes a foreign film resonates more with a local audience
29. than a Hollywood production-and outperforms it. For instance,
Japan's Spirited Away (2001) remains the top-grossing film in
that
country, surpassing global Hollywood hits like Titanic. In addi-
tion, British TV has influenced and served up competition to
U.S.
shows, spawning such hits as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?,
The Weakest Link, and American Idol [called Pop Idol in the
UK].
1,000 YEARS FROM NOW
So how much good does American culture bring to the world?
And how long will it last? Ian Ralston cautions against
sweeping
dismissals of u.s. pop culture. British television may be satu-
rated with American sitcoms and movies, but while some are
poor, others are quite good, he says. "British culture has always
been enriched by foreign influences. In some ways American
cul-
ture and media have added to that enrichment." Others note that
it is not all one-way traffic. America may feast largely on a diet
of
homegrown culture, but it imports modestly as well: soccer,
international cuisine, Italian fashion, and, increasingly, British
television.
As to the question of durability, some experts believe u.s.
domination of communication channels makes it inevitable that
Is the World Falling Out ofLove with u.s. Brands? 167
its messages will become far more entrenched than those of
previ-
ous empires. "The main difference now in favor of American
culture is the importance of technology-telephone, Internet,
30. films, all that did not exist in ancient Greece or the Mongol
empire," Kaspi says. "American influence is growing, it's so
easy
to get access to U.S. culture; there are no barriers. "Disney is
known worldwide now," he adds. "Plato is more and more
unknown, even in Greece."
But not everyone thinks American culture will stand the test
of time. "It remains to be seen whether the Monkees and Bee
Gees
are as durable as Plato," says Professor Young, with a dab of
irony. "Let's have another look in 4,000 years' time."
Questions for Discussion and Writing
1. What problems or losses might the world at large be
facing if it is prone to
American cultural hegemony? Do you want to see a world that
shares a
single popular culture, style, or set of artistic ideas? How do
Rice-Oxley's
ideas differ from those of Brendon O'Connor in an earlier
article?
2. The writer mentions a problem being that other political
systems might
become personality driven, as (he says) they are in the United
States. What
does he mean? Is this an element of politics that should be
avoided? Why or
why not?
3. What are some of the reasons why the cultural empire of
the United States
might last as long (or longer) than the culture of previous
"empires"?
31. 4. Why do you think that Mark Rice-Oxley uses the term
"McDomination"?
What does he mean by this and where does the term come from?
How do
you feel about his use of the term and the context in which he
uses it?
