(AcTiOn pOiNt)
How much of the media you consume is global? Do you watch US TV programes or visit US websites, for example? Do you consume media from other cultures as well or does the US dominate?

Most of the media I consume is global, I use internet search engines suchas Google, connect to the internet through AOL, shop for food at global companies(Tesco), and eat at large global American resturants, like Macdonalds. I strongly feel that the US in a way force their own values upon other societies, through their large worldwide coverage, and monopolising organisation. US TV channels appear to continously dominate our television screens through broadcasting both popular, sucesful American Tv talk chatshows suchas, Ricky Lake, and Jerry Springer. Also as well as this incredibly succesful comedies like 'My Wife And Kids', and 'One On One', broadcasted on Teenage chanel 'Trouble', are also based, and broadcasted from America, and causes us to question how much we are influenced by the US society. I rarely consume media from other cultures, as the US apear to dominate the media through every posible aspect.
