the world strongly dislikes your government, and likes your culture...to a point.

Basically, you don't get Seventh Heaven in South Korea, but some of the action movies you will.

Parts of American culture are liked, including, as everyone keeps saying, tv and music. But in terms of the actual culture, not just the offshoots of it, America is increasingly seperating from the world-whether on it's own accord or because of the rest of the world.

60 years ago, Australia was just as religious as the USA, for example. Now, the USA is still reasonably similar with regards to religion, with the majotrity of Americans going to church etc., but Australia is totally different in that regard, with maybe 10% going to church/mosque/synagogue/whatever.

American culture is not TV and movies; it's the beliefs of the people, the heritage, and also the politics, etc. Death penalty, religion, gun ownership etc. are things the rest of the west has, by and large, moved on from, but the USA is not only keeping them, but being belligerent about it, and the rest of the world dislikes it.

It seems that the left is dedicated to accepting different cultures ...except American culture.
