American culture is dominant because of the means it has to flourish.
In terms of entertainment, The USA has 120,000 actors and 12,000 scriptwriters, plus the latest technology to make to make the best films. It’s no wonder if US movies have global appeal. American star actors and singers are famous worldwide. Once becoming a star in the USA- whether American or not- it’s a guarantee to become a star worldwide.
It’s hard to deny that American culture didn’t enrich or influence the cultures of other countries. In the Arab world, there are music channels showing video clips of singers in the American style. Young people there are more attracted to rhythmic songs with simple words, in which female singers have to be sensual in both voice and appearance. The most famous sensual Arab singer is Haifa Wehbi
In Morocco, the encroachment of American culture is visible through the spread- among other things - of rap music, now popular among the young. McDonald restaurants are in all the big cities in the country. Jeans are still very popular.
American culture has a great influence because it has the ability to renovate itself. It is itself the product of the mix of other cultures. The American movies aren’t all about the USA. There are for example movies about the East, bringing to viewers the aspects of other cultures.
When it comes to cultures, it’s better to get enriched by any of them. It’s a way to learn to appreciate those who are different from us culturally. What is unacceptable is to let one’s culture vanish because of the glamour of a foreign one that is constantly innovative, entertaining and more practical.

What a nice post! It's nice for me, as an American, to see someone saying they are enjoying American movies. I usually hear people bashing them!
Thanks for your nice post.

Hi Eileen,
Thanks for the comment.
I personally enjoy American movies. I watch at least one a week.Dozens of American actors are my favourites, like Robert De Niro, Brad Pitt and Tom Hanks.
