2nd Reflection for topic 7


When I walking in the Sunway Pyramid and survey the stores, I found that most of the stores are monopoly by western brand. Only few are local brand(even i can count it by my hand). If i list all this branded stuff,maybe most of them are your favorite. But i can say that America are successfully conquer the world's fashion and it become a part of people lifestyle and culture. Even the advertising is Western in origin and offers Western products and services. Most Third World countries are more vulnerable to advertising because of fewer regulatory controls. Even though Third World are not simply be the passive recipient(India and China originate most of their own media production – their film industries have a higher output than Hollywood)but sooner or later we will lost our own unique culture because of this massiveness of media imperialism. It is like the Harrods are take over the MYDIN mall. hehe..
