As my previous post will tell you, my International Media class recently had guests speakers. These international students spoke about the media in their country and compared it with the United States.
One phrase that struck me was when on multiple occasions these international students say, "This is really stupid but..." and then proceed to explain their culture and its "oddity".
I found it fascinating because it tells me that America has such a big influence on the world. People have a perception that what is not of America's normalities is deemed as odd.
Who made America the norm?
