How to see the influence of American culture in China
American culture, now has influenced every aspect of our lives, food, movies, clothing, values and marriage. For example, on the streets, you can see young people wearing European, American, Japanese and Korean hip-hop style clothes, with oversized earplugs in their ears, humming as they walk, or wearing exploding heads full of metal jewelry; KFC, McDonald's, Zumbo Pizza and other food products have attracted a large number of customers; in the video stores, rock, hip-hop and other popular music are put on the most conspicuous shelves, and our traditional folk music has been forgotten in the inconspicuous place; In movie theaters, Hollywood blockbusters are the most popular, with their thrilling footage and stunts attracting a lot of people's attention, and the box office is soaring; there are even more festivals nowadays, with Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day, and Christmas catching up with Chinese New Year in terms of pomp and circumstance.

Particularly as the media (movies, TV programs, books, audio-visual products and Internet services, etc.) impact the Chinese cultural market (especially after China's accession to the World Trade Organization, these cultural impacts have become more obvious, more intense and more white-hot), the values of Chinese youth are subconsciously Americanized. At present, there is still a great distance between China and the developed countries in terms of economy and technology, and the cultural industry is not developed enough to satisfy the high standard of clothing, food, housing and transportation of some teenagers, which makes teenagers adore and yearn for the United States. Part of the youth's cultural value center of gravity in favor of Western culture, "Westernized" ideas are very popular among these young people. In the rapid development of network technology today, the openness of the network, the global network so that the United States and other developed countries in the West can easily break through the national boundaries and geographical restrictions to implement cultural hegemony, infiltration of values, the expansion of cultural influence,

After the reform and opening up, a large number of Western catering industry into China, the impact of China's catering industry, and part of the change in the Chinese people's dietary habits. The most influential was fast food, a way of eating that conformed to the fast-paced life of contemporary people, and thus KFC and McDonald's blossomed all over Shenzhou. Chinese fast food also came into being, changing the Chinese people's eating habits of chewing and swallowing slowly. In the face of the powerful impact of American Internet culture, Chinese youths may develop a sense of closeness, trust, and even identification and dependence if they are exposed to it too much. This cultural intrusion will not only blur the young generation's recognition of their own culture and national identity, weakening their sense of nationality, but even make them become worshipers of American culture. Due to the impact of American culture, Chinese society has become more open to all kinds of concepts about marriage, and the tolerance of the society has obviously increased, and the divorce rate, one-night stand, etc. are obviously contrary to the traditional cultural concepts of our country. Therefore, we should always be vigilant when absorbing the good side of foreign culture and pay attention to it. The impact of foreign culture makes people appear new and foreign trends, hedonism, individualism has risen, so that the traditional moral line is facing the crisis of distortion and deformation, but also to make people's political ideology is facing challenges.
