Good morning everyone, my name is Ming. Today I am going to talk the topic, the positive and negative impacts of Americaisation on society.Firstly, let us define on what is Americaisation. For the information from Wikipedia, Americanisation is a term for the influence the United States has on the culture of other countries, such as their popular culture, cuisine, technology, business practices, or political techniques.Let take Hong Kong to be an example, it is very easy to found out that Americaisation is also happen in Hong Kong.

First, let talk about food or beverage, I trust that most of the classmate sitting here had eaten McDonalds in the past. McDonalds is a famous fast food shop in United States. In Hong Kong, you can see McDonalds everywhere. And not only in Hong Kong, but also in other country, like Japan, China, Australia or even in Arabia.

Coffee culture is one of the common cultures in United Stated, so there are many different coffee shop organize by US company, the most famous one must be Starbucks Coffee. Starbucks Coffee also brings the coffee culture in US to the other country.As we talk about America, we must have a look on the movie. Hollywood, the most famous film and television industry in the world. It produced many famous movies to the world.

In Hong Kong, we can also watch the movie produce by Hollywood, also, we can enjoy the movie at the same time with the citizen in United Stated because the movie will released at the same time with US.Without talking the movie and the food. There are also other famous brands from US. Some of these brands are very useful in our daily life, for example, internet search engine, Google.

To the technology, must talk about Apple because of it iPhone and Microsoft, famous computer software provider. To the clothing, Levi’s, the famous jeans seller. And also Calvin Klein with different apparel. These brands can also find in different country in the world.

It seems that Americaisation bring us with many benefit, like to let us have more choose on choosing food, to let us enjoy the movie with professional make. But have you think that this will become the disadvantage to the country?The most negative impact of Americaisation is the America culture will replace the local culture of the country and the local culture will disappear. Nowadays, there are many different way to touch the America culture, all the things beside us are also come from America, for example, the movie, music, TV shows, food, clothing. Because we touch the America culture for a long time and get drunk with it, we may forget the local culture of our country and do not want to develop it again, to make the local culture disappear forever.
