As we all known, American culture is the representative of playful, expressive, comfortable and uplifting thing. In the writer’s view, those aspects of American culture are so attractive to people in other countries. Those most famous are Mickey Mouse, Mcdonald’s and Hollywood. In my estimation, local culture can’t avoid being put away because of the culture strike of America. However, it’s not because it is America, it just because the tendency to the globalization. We should feel thankful that no matter what the American culture is, it mostly conveys the good morality. Like the writer said, American culture is “bottom-up” instead of “top-down”. Not only because the supply side wants more benefits, but also the people need more fun, need more entertainment to suffice their mental world, so demand side is also the crucial step of the globalization.
It is not that important and argumentative that should we keep us from the others’ cultures. The really matter thing is that do you have fun today.

The relationship between supply and demand concerning culture is really hard to say. And it's always two-way instead of one-way. I am interested with your elaboration to that.
But according to your post, I am still not clear what you are going to focus on.
Keep working on.
