Globalization

When we spoke about globalization i couldn't help but think about all of the cultures that we
spread to but the cultures never really spread to us. For instance, with music we have spread
rap, hip hop and rock to other cultures, who then make it their own. What i find interesting is
that they never try to bring their music over here. An example of this would be with Asian
music, which i mentioned in class. We brought rock and rap over to them but their artists
don't try to come over here. This is interesting because, as i also said in class, these Asian
artists are usually born here in America and they go to Asia to make music. We as a whole
probably don't have a big calling for Asian rock or rap because we don't understand the
language, but if they were to translate their music i don't see why they would be able to
make it here in America.
