SS chapt 10 Issue 3

1. 1The [blank_start]greater variety of food options[blank_end] due to globalization has provided locals with [blank_start]easier access[blank_end] to [blank_start]foreign flavours[blank_end] without having to [blank_start]travel out of the country[blank_end]. With the [blank_start]large number of fast food chains[blank_end] all over the world, it means that you will be able to find a fast food outlet almost [blank_start]anywhere you go[blank_end]. There are [blank_start]over 100 McDonald’s outlets[blank_end] and [blank_start]over 80 KFC outlets in Singapore[blank_end]. There are over 300 KFC outlets in India.
   
   Acceptance: Evident through the [blank_start]pervasive presence[blank_end] of foreign food cultures. This shows that locals have [blank_start]embraced some aspects[blank_end] of these food cultures.
   
   
   Rejection: A group of farmers in [blank_start]Bangalore[blank_end] attacked a [blank_start]KFC restaurant[blank_end]. They demanded that the fast food chain [blank_start]leave India[blank_end]. The farmers claimed that KFC and other foreign food companies threatened their [blank_start]traditional agricultural practices[blank_end] by imposing [blank_start]resource intensive[blank_end] Western farming methods. Many of the farmers who were unable to afford [blank_start]large inputs of fertiliser[blank_end], [blank_start]pesticides[blank_end] risked losing out to [blank_start]bigger agricultural businesses[blank_end] and losing their farms altogether.

2. 2Homogenisation of entertainment
   
   American films [blank_start]dominate the box offices[blank_end] of [blank_start]more than 150 countries[blank_end] and its film industry is a [blank_start]major provider of entertainment[blank_end] seen in [blank_start]millions of homes[blank_end] around the world.
   
   Acceptance: American messages of [blank_start]freedom and individuality[blank_end] was embraced by the [blank_start]Asian middle-class women[blank_end] who watch [blank_start]American soap operas[blank_end] and see the possibility of [blank_start]marrying for love[blank_end] or to [blank_start]live independently, away from the family[blank_end]. They argue that the American messages of [blank_start]freedom and individuality[blank_end] in their entertainment products can [blank_start]empower[blank_end] consumers to [blank_start]develop their identities[blank_end].
   
   Rejection Example [blank_start]France and China[blank_end]. France places [blank_start]restrictions on foreign media[blank_end] in its entertainment industry. [blank_start]40%[blank_end] of television programmes must be in [blank_start]French[blank_end] and television programmes of [blank_start]non-European origins[blank_end] cannot [blank_start]exceed 40%[blank_end] of the programmes screened in the country. In [blank_start]2014[blank_end], China had an [blank_start]annual limit of 34 foreign films[blank_end] that could be imported, there were [blank_start]periodic cultural blackout days[blank_end] where foreign films could not be shown. France and China feel that American influences [blank_start]threaten their local culture[blank_end], [blank_start]language[blank_end] and [blank_start]local entertainment industry[blank_end]. It could lead to a [blank_start]dilution or loss[blank_end] of [blank_start]local culture[blank_end] if the locals [blank_start]choose foreign culture[blank_end] over local culture.

3. 3Some foreign fast food items and menus are [blank_start]modified to local tastes[blank_end]. In Singapore, [blank_start]KFC has offered porridge[blank_end]. This is a [blank_start]staple in Chinese cuisine[blank_end]. McDonald’s has come up with the [blank_start]Nasi Lemak burger[blank_end] and [blank_start]red bean pie[blank_end], both are [blank_start]local delights enjoyed widely[blank_end] by Singaporeans.
   
   Acceptance: The fusion food were [blank_start]widely accepted by Singaporeans[blank_end], especially with the Nasi Lemak burger being [blank_start]sold out very quickly[blank_end] and Singaporeans [blank_start]wanting it back[blank_end] after the promotional period was over. Singaporeans [blank_start]enjoy local tastes[blank_end] even in foreign fast food as a [blank_start]new product is born[blank_end] and the [blank_start]local taste remains[blank_end].
   
   Rejection: Singapore’s local branch of [blank_start]Slow Food[blank_end] was rolled out to showcase our [blank_start]traditional food culture[blank_end] and [blank_start]celebrate hand-crafted heritage treats[blank_end]. Singapore’s Slow Food was set up to [blank_start]counter the rise of fast food[blank_end] and also to prevent the [blank_start]disappearance of local food traditions[blank_end]. The fusion of foreign and local food may result in [blank_start]some elements[blank_end] of either the foreign or local cuisine to be [blank_start]lost or changed[blank_end].

4. 4Local culture can also influence [blank_start]American cultural products[blank_end]. There is a [blank_start]fusion[blank_end] of [blank_start]local and American influences[blank_end]. For example, the film [blank_start]Kung Fu Panda[blank_end] is a fusion of [blank_start]Chinese and American culture[blank_end].
   
   Acceptance: The [blank_start]global success[blank_end] of [blank_start]Kung Fu Panda and other American films[blank_end] is proof that many people do [blank_start]consume and enjoy[blank_end] American entertainment.
   
   Rejection: Kung Fu Panda was [blank_start]rejected by China[blank_end], some Chinese [blank_start]wanted to boycott[blank_end] the film. It was seen as an [blank_start]inaccurate portrayal of Chinese culture[blank_end]. The [blank_start]panda is China’s national animal[blank_end] and kung fu is one of its [blank_start]most popular martial arts forms[blank_end]. It was seen as an attempt by the West to [blank_start]undermine China’s national treasure[blank_end]
