Gitlin is arguing that the streams of american culture that pour into other nations are allowing them firsthand insight to things such as Hollywood icon's, Disney related empires, Coke, and American produced music that greatly influence the different countries into almost American replicas. It gives other countries a satisfied feeling of entertainment and allows them into our American easily accessible way of enjoyment. He also talks about how this gives young generation all the same dreams. Kids here in America are aspiring to be the same things that kids in China, for example, want to as well. Yes I agree. I don't know whether or not i feel like this is a good thing or a bad thing but it is obvious that it is happening.
