Reminds me of how Americans spend a couple of months in the UK and return with an affected British accent. Before social media, there were movies that molded society. Bollywood and more recently K-dramas/K-pop have influenced an entire generation. Often these were used for shaping a younger generation as a long term strategy for a desirable adult demographic. To a certain extent, it is happening in our American public school system. Everyone who comes through it are kind of identical. It may not be apparent to those who have never stepped out of the States, but it is obvious to those outside or have known other cultures. With social media impacts, its effect is like an oil spill. Even if you can contain it, it will be messy, expensive and traumatic for years and years. This is a Faustian bargain we have made.
