Americanisation
Americanisation means that a culture (often a country) is heavily influenced by so-called anglicisms. These anglicisms are American-based. Anglicisms can be institution, values, ways and behaviours, but can also be symbols and pictures.
In Americanisation, the transferring of American culture is only one-way. A culture is being Americanised, but the United States aren't affected by the other culture in return.
Americanisation Media
United States–based fast food franchises, such as this McDonald's location in China, are widely seen as a symbol of Americanization in many countries.
