Multiple Choice

Directions: Read the following and answer the questions using the tools for improving vocabulary skills. ¹When one culture's values, norms, and products become dominant and diminish the strength of another culture, the stronger culture is said to exert
Hegemony over the weaker one. In turn, a hegemonic society exerts undue power over other societies. In Europe and parts of Asia, there is a lively debate about whether the culture of the United States endangers the continued existence of local cultures. American movies and popular music, fast food, and fashions are coveted around the world. Nations with less widespread languages and less powerful cultural institutions fear that their young people will lose interest in their own cultures and embrace the values, language, and norms of Americans.
²Within the United States, too, sociologists and others worry that the powerful commercial cultural institutions that make certain types of food, music, movies, fashions, and magazines popular throughout the nation endanger the existence of unique local subcultures. These critics fear that regional differences are decreasing and being replaced by a homogeneous culture that lacks diversity.
-adapted from Kornblum, Sociology in a Changing World , pp. 62-63
