Amerian Pop Culture: The good and the bad 1 Year, 4 Months ago

Karma: 6

Philippines is one of the most Westernized nations in Southeast Asia because of American influence that lasted for almost half century. One foreigner friend of mine once asked me in amusement why Filipinos are very much fanatic about celebrities. "Blame it to the Americans' Hollywood culture," I quipped.

Seriously, American pop culture has long been a part of our daily lives. We patronize America's products. We listen to their music. We eat their burgers and pancakes. And so on and so forth.

Do you think these influences have been beneficial to us? What do you think are the positive and negative influences of American pop culture?

Let's discuss the good and the bad here. Make your point.
