When we export our goods to another country we are benefiting them. As a country, it shows that we are not so greedy and actually care about other people in the world. As we have here in the United States, a nice variety of things I'm sure other countries appreciate it too because sometimes countries don't necessarily have a variety, they are getting by with the bare necessities. As a culture itself, I think the United States can learn a lot for itself from other countries like how fortunate we are and how easy going we have it.
Cultural exports aren't always a good thing. When we export our culture, it can sometimes overshadow the culture of the importing natnion. For example, places all over the world have abandoned their traditional dress in favor of Western suits. FOreign businesspeople in suits are a common sight. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, U.S. cultural exports should perhaps be more limited, in order to save those smaller cultures that may be endangered by the onrush of U.S. culture.
The cultural exporting of U.S. culture often causes the extinction of many diverse and rich cultures. As the world becomes a smaller place and business ties between countries become stronger, countries begin to lose their unique cultures as they are flooded with an enslaught of hamburgers, MTV, and western clothing. Though exporting can offer a new variety of things to buy, the exporting of culture can often act as a weed and begin to overpower the indigenous culture.
Exporting goods from the U.S. to other countries does really affect the cultural environment of other countries. I think that the people in the other countries will be way too focused on trying to be a typical American and buy clothes and other accessories instead of wearing their usual cultural outfits. Then there is food. People will want to buy food from the U.S. like pre-cooked food and snacks and no longer make their cultural food. It’s good to export goods from the U.S. but to the point where people’s culture are being affected.
What effect could exporting of U.S. culture have on the cultural environment of other countries? The effect would be that the other cultures would be forgotten because they would be have modernized them so they would just forget about their culture they followed their whole life. Also they see that their are other things out there so the want to change.
Exporting the U.S. culture could cause other countries to adapt and mimic our country. There are some Japanese culture rules that some U.S. citizens have adapted and use in their own households. The tradition of taking ones shoes off when entering a home is a Japanese culture and I have been in a few homes where people use this tradition.

Exporting United States culture will influence many around the world. As we learn to open our minds, and accept more than one culture.
United States culture will benefit others. It will show hospitality, and show that we are not full of ourselves, some what.
