you replied to your own post tanisha?

Wow, there's quite alot of different views here.

Punk secne is kick asre doen here in London. I realy have to go home 'cos there's so many people sofas to sleep on ^___^

well it'sjust a phase.
it's whats hip in our time.

beinga girl raised in Bay Area I'minfluenced by 'chavs' and rockers. Here we just call them gang bangers or wana be gang bangers.

It's only 'bad' if you look at it like that. I on the upper hand like both 'cultures'

Or mebbe it's just your country that has bad culture. No need to blame others, please.

I didn't mean to offend you what I meant was America has many good points and the UK just seems to exacerbate the bad qualities America has.

The world has become so international no country has its own individual culture, there is not one homogenous nation. Scentific evidence suggests that culture is important, I bet if I asked 10 british teenagers if they could name what culture was, very few would be able to give an eloquent answer.

No, she's right...we have our own culture but we are becoming Americanised. It's a fact. That's nothing against America; it's just saying that our own cultures are dying out.

There's a term for that; it's called Euro-Centric thinking...because in the Age of Exploration, the coloniser's created their colonies to follow stereotypical European ways of thought: basically they tried to turn colonies into mini-Portugals, Englands or Spains. Now, it's happening again, only with American culture - for example, when I went to Ho Chi Minh, in Vietnam, last summer, I found it nearly impossible to find any authentic Vietnamese food - all I could find was KFCs and McDonalds, and all supermarkets seemed to sell were Oreos and Coke. Seriously. It might not be as obvious here, but it is starting to creep in...

That wasn't anything against American culture, by the way, I just think it's important for places like Ireland (where I live) to keep it's own culture...

Oh and alternative cultures...they're there, trust me. They've never been glaringly obvious, but trust me...they're still hanging tight.

I think all culture in the UK is dying out, its being replaced by all the worst parts of american culture.

My culture is spawning. I'm a sci-fi geek and the good thing about that is I have all of the past to enjoy because sci-fi has been around for a long time and won't really die out.

I was just watching The Royale Family and I ws wondering 'why is it not like this now, like the 90's?'. I know where I was born (small town Ireland) it is like that, and I love it. Moving to Britain was a shock.
