Americanization is really so bad?

by Barbara Nagy 15.03.2010

Most of people think that the pressure of the United States  can lead astray.

The political, economic and conservationist views might be too complicated and divisive in this article, so let's see the benefits.

Two years ago I was the girl, who thinks that America has the craziest, laziest and the most boring population in the planet. But who am I to judge poeople I don't know? That was a generally established fact and I didn't argue with this.

It is foolish but one of the most common "product"  brought me closer to this country. That was the television. And the TV-series. With their help I could understand more and more expressions and via internet I could find my favourite actors, and their pillow books.

I also started reading in English, and America's sweet thirties and its literature enthralled me. I am a  T. S. Eliot- Fitzgerald- Faulkner triangle addict now.

One last thing: Do yout think that Criminal  Minds, for example, has no worth except for entertainment? So check the qoutes at the beginning and at the end of the episodes and you might change your mind.

Loving Europe is natural and obligatory but there are so many ways to find yourself in this world. If you don't open the windows no one else do it for you.
