Thoughts on Culture [Yoo, Week 6, Dialogue]

We are always taught of how globalization is making the world smaller and smaller. If teenage girls in Tokyo are wearing designer jeans and listening to Nirvana, does this mean they aren't true followers of designer jeans and Nirvana? I feel the post-colonialism assumes that different cultures and nations share different values. Its almost as if Japanese girls should only wear kimonos and listen to traditional Japanese music. Whenever a culture takes from another, it becomes theirs. There is no separation of culture in our society today. What is American is Japanese, and what is Nigerian is American.
