Americanization (foreign culture and media)

Americanization is when a foreign culture and media are influenced by American culture and media. This can look like when people in a different country watch American TV shows, listen to American music, or eat American food. It can also mean that people from different countries start to dress or talk like Americans. When a foreign culture and media are Americanized, it means that American traditions and customs are becoming more common in that culture.
