I ask this question to spark the conversation of the idea of follow the leader. The U.S. society and culture is grounded on the ideals on one people because they chose the rule the New World. That is why all we see, do, are taught, and learn is centered around their beliefs of right and wrong.

Boy the underlying message of this question really went over the heads of my first three responses. Please only respond if you think you know What I'm really talking about!

I don't think any one actually chose to rule the world, though many want to. I believe it was power used in certain ways over a length of time exposing a leadership for the betterment of the world. I know America isn’t everyone’s favorite country right now, but when we were still great (to others, we’re still great to us), caring for each other and the world, no one was better. I was raised military and can tell you from that family stand point we consider the US Part of a larger group; Europe of course, primarily England, and other countries that have tried pretty hard to solve a lot of problems, even though they did it the wrong way sometimes. Being the world police didn't’ use to come with a manual, so people had to create on the fly.
I suppose if Asian countries were the first to step forcefully out first in the “new world” then yes, things would be so centered. I also believe every country has added to the human experience greatly.
I already believe Asian influence over cultures other than their own is quite wide spread, but not as you said, the center of many cultures. It also might be because Asians tend to guard their ways as ancient, perhaps sacred, and not easy for others to understand and respect, that kept them from offering them in the first place?

What "Asians" are you referring to? There are a lot of Asian cultures and not all are cut from the same cloth... If you're talking about the Mongols I'm sure it would. Them Khans were some mean intrusive mo-fos back then. ;)

BTW... If three people misunderstood your question then maybe the question needs to be rephrased? The point I'm making is your example is extremely vague. Saying "Asians" is like saying "Europeans" and American is not European in comparison in that it's evolved into it's own cultural identity. My ideology centers around being a free thinker which is actually more Greek than American and the ancient Greeks never sailed to the New World... So if we're missing something then please clarify and maybe we can answer you. Thanks.

If Asians had found this hunk of land first, there wouldn't be a USA to begin with...
What an illogical question...
