James bought Popcorns in China. Does this imply that these Popcorns came from America? This is not necessary the case. However, a majority of us view America as cultural imperialism. Fundamentally, this implies that emerging nations are acclimatizing to the American way of life.

Early cinema was interestingly preoccupied with race; many of the great early films, for better or worse, addressed the conflict that occurred between people of different ethnicities, and their relationship to the greater whole of society. D.W. Griffith’s controversial The Birth of a Nation and Alan Crosland’s The Jazz Singer were no exceptions; both have problematic depictions of African-Americans, but while The Birth of a Nation provides no subversion to its unironic endorsement of the KKK, The Jazz Singer manages to use its depiction of blackface as a greater metaphor for the shirking of one’s cultural heritage for the ...
