I enjoyed reading you thoughts on the issue. By asking the question about the negativity of Americanisation you were effectively able to explain the effects that U.S dominance could have on other global cultures. Overall a good post, solid referencing and discussion, keep up the good work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676031812242559809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063778529332173933.post-52205797139393176062012-08-09T17:12:24.613-07:002012-08-09T17:12:24.613-07:00The piece is very well researched and it's cle...The piece is very well researched and it's clear you have a a thorough comprehension of the topic. You show this in your abundance of references and citations. You have a few sections of strong analysis (e.g "you don't even have to go to America to experience it") and I would have loved to have seen more of this.<br /><br />Cheers, Robert.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10143917271373997794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063778529332173933.post-42833109489142148652012-08-09T17:03:51.638-07:002012-08-09T17:03:51.638-07:00Kate that was a really strongly written piece.

I would have loved to have heard more of your own personal expereinces with Americanisation as well though. Great piece, Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815440538958004129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063778529332173933.post-80168358944505012782012-08-09T07:55:57.920-07:002012-08-09T07:55:57.920-07:00This is really well written, scholarly and engagin...This is really well written, scholarly and engaging. You’ve clearly done your research and your links to videos are relevant. Whether the ‘throwaway culture’ and ‘consumer culture’ are really distinct from each other I’m not sure, but the latter certainly necessitates the former; for how can the economies that thrive on consumerism profit if people don’t buy the ‘next big thing’. Your link to the Josie & the Pussycats video (which was surprisingly relevant) certainly exemplified this ‘throwaway culture’. I can’t fault this post; you’ve done a great job, and it was a really interesting read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063778529332173933.post-92164678646087305862012-08-09T04:41:33.007-07:002012-08-09T04:41:33.007-07:00This blog post was a very interesting read mainly ...This blog post was a very interesting read mainly because of the scholarly references used by the writer.
