McDonald's is part of cultural imperialism because it adds to "the procceses by which a society is brought to modern world system". McDonald's is in every part of the world and is the most consumed fast food. It has become a part of some countries' culture like for example the US. When you go to the US what you mostly eat is fast food; burgers, hot dogs, ect. constitute to their typical food and now Mc.Donald's is part of it. Many traditions in a countries' culture, like their way of eating, are changing due to fast food restaurants such as Mc. Donalds. When I go to a foreign country, not necessarily the US, I ALWAYS eat Mc.Donald's. Mc. Donald's gainings are rising up each day; they are aerning about $1.24 billion quartely per year. Although Mc. Donald's food is not healthy at ll people still eat it; it is part of their diet. They are convinced by Mc. Donald's campaigns of real meats, fat free, etc. The modern world system was directly influenced by Mc Donald's; everybody eats it! Parents start giving children Mc. Donald's when they can start to eat solid stuff. I swear my little cousin eats Mc. Donald's at leat three time a week; she is 4 years old.
