The Colossus

There is a vast corporation-influenced cultural hegemony taking place in the the United States and around the world due to the capitalistic nature of the U.S. government and the power of corporations combined with advertising, all encouraging a U.S. cultural dominance and overall International cultural imperialism. Multi-National corporations are controlling the development of the World's economy. With the backing o the World's richest countries and therefore the largest military powers, World trade has lain the foundation for a new age of corporate imperialism and international manipulative control.
 "Besides the military, which is the final arbiter, the power of the imperial-centers-of-capital to lay claim to the wealth of the developing world rests in their subtle monopolization of finance capital. No bank in the world will loan to a country blacklisted by the World Bank. To obtain funding from any bank, developing world governments must adjust their policies (called structural adjustments) to the dictates of the IMF/World Bank/NAFTA/ GATT/WTO/MAI/GATS/FTAA/military colossus. It is specifically under the imposed structural adjustment rules of that colossus that protections for the fast developing nations were withdrawn."
 "Under the umbrella of the Cold War, that colossus established an unseen (except when the military is activated) world government ruled by stateless multinational corporations superseding the laws of the most powerful countries. As it is ruled dictatorially and not democratically (labor and weak nations are essentially voiceless), that is a corporate-ruled empire."
We should not forget that the differences in cultures make the world a rich and diverse place. Every individual of each country should have the right to express his or her own culture. A cultural uniformity would lead to the extinction of cultures and it would definitely represent a great loss .
