Readers' Response #4

As I was reading Under the sign of Mickey Mouse and Co., I was quite fascinated by how some people from Western cultures would sometimes listen to Third World music. I also found that people believe American culture is making its way into nations all over the world.

It was quite surprising to see how people think American corporations tend to sell off of their image of celebrities or entertainment. Companies that do so earn $50 or $80 billion dollars, most of it from video games.

I also thought it interesting to read how American pop culture is close to a global lingua franca, drawing the urban and young into a common cultural zone where they share dreams of freedom, wealth, comfort, innocence, and power.

 I have seen that people have great dependency on supply and demand when it comes to income from foreign materials shipped into the U.S of in the U.S itself.
