TONG's Cultural Identity Wrap-up

Technically, this unit talks about cultural identities. Based on those readings which we had read, like "They've got to be Carefully Taught" and "Globalizaiton vs. Americanization", I realized that due to the United States is an extremely powerful country, its culture could spread out widely and fast. Apparently, that is why we may see so many brands or companies which also appear in other countries as well. As we all familiar with HP and Walt Disney, they are famous all over the world. However, not only the American brands are popular in the world, but also the other countries' brands, such as Nokia, the Finnish multinational communications corporation, and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW), the German automobile manufacturing company, they are also attractive. Once some people may consider that globaliziton is just Americanization, actually, globalization is a combination of multi-cultures. Though each country has strong connection with business, technology, and culture, a singular cultural identity could not represent the entire culture identities eventually.
