Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cultural imperialism refers to the domination of one culture over another through the spread of its cultural products, including media. Sociologists who see Western-made films and television programs promoting the West's interests as part of a deliberate agenda would consider this cultural imperialism. Hyperglobalization refers to the intensification of global interconnectedness and differentiation refers to the process of becoming distinct from others, while Westernization and hybrid identity formation are not specifically related to this phenomenon.
