Bandwaggoning.

Chatting to a classmate last night, about Happy Feet beating Casino Royale at the American box office, when he wondered if I was jumping on the American bandwagon. He mentioned that Tony Blair had, and look where it had got him

there is, ideally, no differences or superiority/inferiorirt division between various cultures. but what we are experiencing these days, all these bandwagonning and the omnipresence of american culture is a long historical consequence of value-injection and/due to politico-economical hegemony.

and a perceived sense of cultural dominance, and in this case, american culture being very very dominant, is the first step to develop cultural egocentrism, which is what we see everywhere these days. you could have people prostrating themselves in front of anything american, including putting on such a twang with terribly narrow and slanted a's, so much so i feel like slapping each and every single one of them. the headiness, it makes one too proud to perceive other cultures. it just makes it, for examples, american culture, and other-lesser-cultures-lumped-under-as-The-Rest.

sad.
