Americans and the World: World Public Opinion.org
http://www.americans-world.org/digest/global_issues/globalization/culture.cfm
A majority of Americans has a favorable view of American popular culture, though a large minority of the public is pessimistic about the quality of US movies and television. Americans are divided about the spread of American culture, but only a small minority considers the dominance of US culture a threat to other cultures. When it comes to globalization bringing greater cultural influences into the US, Americans express a positive attitude.

The very essence of culture is diversity and infinite change: the world’s many different cultures are distinct and unique, but always evolve over time and only really flourish when they come into contact with others. The world’s cultural diversity, its rich differences in visions, values, beliefs, practices and expressions, is our common heritage and a source of exchange, innovation and creativity which is as essential for mankind as biodiversity is for nature.
What Impact Globalization has on Cultural Diversity?
http://www.alternativesjournal.net/volume1/number4/sotsh.htm
Multicultural nature of our society has been ignored. Most countries have been failing to recognize the enriching value of diverse cultures. South Africa, for example, is culturally, ethnically and linguistically diverse. It is tempting to deny this diversity consciously or unconsciously. Cultural diversity is now a fact of life in today's "global village". Many people have been experiencing the negative effects of the globalization process. Towards the end of the last closed century, there have been some protest movements against globalization on new world economic, political, cultural, technological, religious order, and the way the pros and cons of a new global world have been assessed. However, this paper will focus on the cultural dimension, giving special attention to the impact of globalization on cultural diversity.
Globalization and Cultural Diversity: Friends or Foes?
http://www.independent.org/events/detail.asp?eventID=3
Is American culture taking over the world? Do countries with open trade policies risk losing their unique cultures to a diet of McDonald’s and MTV? Or does globalization simply enlarge a country’s cultural menu, allowing people to choose from a wider variety? Does trade result in cultural decline? Or does cultural “destruction” allow the “high culture” of a society to co-exist with the popular and enable a rich array of cultural hybrids to flower? At this event, noted economist and author Tyler Cowen shared his fascinating discoveries about globalization and cultural diversity.

This has been the plan ever since Baron Rothschild got the got the idea over 200 years ago. he started setting up Europe by buying some banks and causing others to fail. Then he got more powerful and began causing nations to fall through his control of the currency. His plan is just a short way from completion and as soon as North America falls no other country but China is strong enough to stand alone. China may already be in on the deal! Our last president that was against this N.W.O. was J.F.K. and they killed him for refusing to go along with it. Now all of our elected officials either toe the line or they are out. Only the deaf, blind or an idiot can/will not see the writing on the wall.
