Hollywood certainly rules the world. Its puts down the rule of fashion, social ettiquette and above all lifestyle. Basically modern civilization in conjuction with american lifestyle! looool

Naaima,

Salam Aleykum.

Since the US is the world's sole superpower and the world's largest economy, it is natural to assume that globalization will export some American ideas, culture, and influence.

When Rome was powerful & the Center of the "Modern World" it exported its ideas, culture, overseas to the known world.

Today it is Pax Americana
