Being an international student from Panama city I have seen and felt the effects of globalization in my country. The good thing about it is that coming to America wasn’t such a big deal since Panama has adopted much of the American culture, specially in terms of media.
Globalization is an ongoing process in which flow of goods, services, money, and ideas are integrated across national borders through a global network of communication, transportation, and trade.
One of the globalization concepts is hybridization that is when you take and formula that was successful in one place and adopted it somewhere else. The new reality show “Latin American Idol” is an excellent example of hybridization. It is basically the same concept of “American idol”, only that with latin people. So if one day you feel like watching some sexy bootylicious latinas singing and dancing, this is definitely your show to watch. Ps. Panama won the first season, say whaaat!!! :)Isnt globalization beautiful?
