I'm not saying America has not contributed to OUR NORTH AMERICAN culture, just that they have not contributed greatly to culture itself. A lot of what America has done has not transended borders. Hence me picking out their music, which has transended borders and changed the way generations choose to listen to music (which is indeed cultural). Get it?

Than you. That was a good rebuttal. I think American cultural influence is more widespread than you realize. I have had the good fortune to spend a lot of time in Europe and South America. American culture is prevalent everywhere, in the tv shows they watch, the music they listen too, the fashion etc.

I like this definition of culture:

culture -- (all the knowledge and values shared by a society). In this sense, Amercian culture is dominating the knowledge and values of societies world-wide (not all societies, but most).
