Mainstreem

Gitlin is saying that the streams of rhetoric that pours out of America homogenizes cultures into a uniform sense of “fun”. Such examples include Disneyland, and other corporate organizations that are expanding upon the world. Gitlin believes that this is bad because the homoginization of cultures isn’t good because each culture needs their own sense of “fun”. I disagree with this because I think everyone can have fun at Disneyland, and it shouldn’t be limited to America. It is corporations and products such as Disneyland and others that bring countries together to simply enjoy something instead of fight and promote violence. Things like this are important for our world because they unify everyone for good, fun causes, and they promote a certain peace. I believe these are good for our world, and should remain standing.
