Length: four-to-five pages (essay must be over four full pages)

As a country with supreme power, the U.S. has exported American culture to the world inexorably with the help of its multinational corporations and advanced
communication technology. As a result, some writers, such as Vicente Verdu, argue that American culture, from food and entertainment to fashion, language, and values,
has penetrated so far and so deeply that world culture has been Americanized to a great extent. Because of this sweeping force of American culture, many of these
writers express their concern that the culture of the whole world is or will be homogenized by American culture, with local cultures losing their identities.

On the other hand, according to writers, such as Andrew Lam, the world culture has not been and will not be Americanized. They concede that American culture is still
forceful, but they argue that it is merely one influence in a multicultural world, a result of globalization, that other cultures have also spread outward, and that
local cultures are not and will not be destroyed.

Write an essay in which you argue for or against the claim that world culture is or will become more or less American. Is this Americanization or lack of
Americanization positive or negative for the world?

The topics must be different from the ones you chose for Essay #1. Consider focusing on politics, economics, terrorism, war, healthcare, human rights, etc. To
construct a strong and comprehensive argument, you need to consult course readings and conduct library research to learn more about the topics and to find support for
your argument. Cite 2-3 quotes and 2-3 country examples per body paragraph from at least SIX TOTAL ACADEMIC SOURCES, including four from the textbook (use Verdu, Lam,
Giddens, and Zakaria) and two from outside sources (one outside source may be a newspaper, but the other outside source must be an academic journal or book; all
outside sources must be different from previously used outside sources).

A key requirement of this assignment is to acknowledge opposing views (supported by a source and examples) in your discussion and then to argue against them by
constructing an effective refutation. Without this element, your essay will not be qualified to pass.
