How to treat the influence of American culture in China?

American culture has now influenced every aspect of our lives, such as diet, movies, clothes, values and marriage. For example, in the street, hip-hop costumes from Europe, America, Japan and South Korea can be seen everywhere, wearing oversized earplugs on their ears and humming while walking; Or explosive heads, young people covered in metal ornaments; KFC, McDonald's, Zunbao pizza and other foods have attracted a large number of customers; In the video store, pop music such as rock and hip-hop is put on the most conspicuous shelves, and our traditional folk music is forgotten in inconspicuous places; Hollywood blockbusters in cinemas are the most powerful. The breathtaking shots and stunts have attracted many people's attention, and the box office has soared. There are countless festivals now, and the solemnity of Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day and Christmas has caught up with the Spring Festival. .

Especially the media (movies, TV programs, books, audio-visual products and Internet services, etc. ) has had an impact on China's cultural market (especially after China joined the World Trade Organization, these cultural impacts have become more obvious, stronger and stronger), and the values of young people in China will be subtly Americanized. At present, there is still a big gap between China and developed countries in economy and technology, and the cultural industry is not developed enough to meet the needs of some teenagers for high standards of food, clothing, housing and transportation, which makes them admire and yearn for the United States. The cultural values of some teenagers are biased towards western culture, and the idea of "Westernization" is very popular among these teenagers. Today, with the rapid development of network technology, the openness and globalization of the network enable the United States and other western developed countries to easily break through national boundaries and geographical restrictions to promote cultural hegemony, penetrate values and expand cultural influence.

After the reform and opening-up, a large number of western catering industries entered China, which impacted the catering industry in China and partially changed the eating habits of China people. The biggest influence is fast food, which conforms to the fast-paced life of contemporary people, so KFC and McDonald's bloom everywhere in China. China's fast food also came into being, which changed the eating habits of China people. Faced with the strong impact of American network culture, too much exposure of China teenagers may produce a sense of closeness, trust, and even a sense of identity and dependence. This cultural invasion will not only blur the younger generation's recognition of their national culture and identity, weaken their national consciousness, and even make them become people who worship American culture. Due to the influence of American culture, the concept of marriage in China society has become more open, and the tolerance of society has obviously improved. Divorce rate and one-night stand are obviously contrary to our traditional cultural concepts. So when we absorb the good aspects of foreign culture, we should always be vigilant and pay attention to ourselves. The impact of foreign culture makes people tend to seek new things and worship foreign countries, hedonism and individualism rise, which makes traditional moral conduct face the crisis of distortion and challenges people's political ideology.
