Studies On American Media As Tools For U.S.Cultural Hegemony

As an evident representation of American "soft power" and one of the most important American cultural industries, American medium has embodied its ideas of typical American ideology, American values and American national interests. Both its great development and expansion in the world are working for the needs of American cultural hegemony, which is infiltrating severely into almost every corner on the globe and quickens as an impetus to realize worldwide Americanization.The dissertation combines subjects of International Relations and Medium Theory with Medium Sociology to analyze the expansion of American cultural hegemony through its medium and then concludes the accompanying influences of the expansion of American cultural hegemony upon today's China that is simultaneously in a period of transition on cultural development. Probably that is an experimental way to study the topic from the angle of Medium Sociology.
