Outsourcing of culture

Culture can also be outsourced. Material cultural like films, music, fashion in clothes is often times spread over boundaries. For example, many people in Western Europe including in countries like Sweden watch American Hollywood films and listen to American music. Foreign countries especially European countries have been very open to American movies, music, clothing a foods (like McDonald's). However, in other parts of the world, American culture is not being accepted. In countries like China, Middle East, India and Africa are not embracing American culture very readily. For example, in the Middle East and parts of Africa, Bollywood movies from India instead of Hollywood movies are being accepted.

I feel that with the American relationship with the Middle East would deteriorate further if there is not a culture does not flow between the two countries.
