In the early 1900's Americanization meant taking new immigrants and turning them into Americans, whether they wanted to give up their traditional ways or not.
Critics now say globalization is nothing more than the imposition of American culture on the entire world. In fact, the most visible sign of globalization seems to be the spread of American burgers and cola to nearly every country on earth.
This is how Thomas Friedman sees it. In a recent column describing why terrorists hate the United States, Friedman wrote:
". . . globalization is in so many ways Americanization: globalization wears Mickey Mouse ears, it drinks Pepsi and Coke, eats Big Macs, does its computing on an IBM laptop with Windows 98. Many societies around the world can't get enough of it, but others see it as a fundamental threat."
Simply dismissing globalization as just Americanization is misleading. Globalization has the ability to alter much more than just the movies or food consumed by a society.
