Under the Sign of Mickey Mouse & Co.(Lingli Huang)

With the development of technology and economy, the communication betweent different countries and cultuers is much easier than before. On the other hand, we can say thye world become "smaller". It is a "global village". In a country we can find not only one cultuer there. Mickey Mouse and coke have become the symbol of America culture. America culture has a strong infectivity. It is easy to find in many other countries such as Hollywood, coke, fast food, Disneyland and so on. It fuses with the local culture well.
America and its culture is complicated. It is difficult to say the world is Americanied. Because America is a emigratory country. America culture is based on and mixed with many different cultures. In America we can find there are exsist many cultures no matter it was there before or it just appeal. Hollywood is an important part of America culture, it appeals to many countries, many people love it. But it is easy to find Chinese or the other countries' elements there. Such Jackie Chan, Chinese Kongfu. America fast food is famous in the world. Almost every country has American fast food such as McDonald's. But we can also find many Chinese resturant, Japanese resturant in America. So cultures begin to affect each others.
