  • American worldview is centered on America
  • Americans expect everyone to think and speak American
  • Americanization as cultural imperialism

2. Why has Germany been especially quick at embracing American culture?

  • America's help after WWII (→ Marshall Plan) ==> Germans felt grateful
  • German culture discredited by Nazis, German from "Dichter und Denker" to "Richter und Henker"
  • Germans looked for new cultural model → culture of the victoriuos, democratic and successful USA
  • Germans were not allowed to have and learned to feel ashamed of patriotic feelings → easy to take over Western/US mass culture
