Pop Cosmopolitanism

      I think it's so important to understand that the media depicts ethnicities and cultures in so many ways that they aren't, but unfortunately this is what people think that the ethnicity that is being victimized acts in this sort of way, basically people become ambiguous to other cultures.  This is exactly why so many people around the world are trying to change who they are by changing their last names, getting plastic surgery to look less of 'what' they are, lose the accent that they were born with and essentially wear this veil where they are trying to have and seem more white and less anything else. We are engulfed with a preposterous amount of violence that is performed by minorities left and right, which of course we know that is controlled and altered by corporate convergence, where they control all the smaller media companies below them.
    I think that I can also speak for many people when the media alters things like movies, tv shows, music and any other sort of media that represents another culture.  Especially when it comes to the voices that are being used to speak another language. But unfortunately, and this doesn't only apply to the American culture, but as Jenkins mentioned, media imperialism relies on four forms of power, being economic, cultural, political, and psychological, in which I agree with 100%.
