I just read this interesting article by a gentleman named Dan Bloom. He's been living in Japan for 20 years and offers an eye-opening perspective in this piece about how children in overseas countries regularly greet western visitors with the F-word and "the finger" because Hollywood movies have, perhaps inadvertently, taught them this things are "cool!"
Such a disgrace.
For me, it gave me additional perspective to the influence that America has on the world. That influence can be good--such as helping other nations in need with humanitarian efforts. That influence can be bad--like teaching the world that gluttony is not only okay but should be aspired to. And apparently that influence can also be downright ugly--as in the case made by Bloom.
