The global reach of the USA has become beyond doubt. In today's globalised outlook everywhere you see the mark of US is evident. Then it may be lifestyle, cuisine, home decor, outfits etc. The US lifestyle has tremendous effect on our thinking and living.

Well if we accept it taking into considerationt he positive fronts like the more similar culture the more likely one is to be able to move between them.

Being an Indian should we embrace american style or should it be rejected as a harmful & dangerous influence !!!!!!!!
Does it depict that adopting or following american style will vanish indianess in each and everyone of us. Will Indian culture soon vanish its identity in future and will it get merged with the title "American style & culture"

Are you a supporter and follower of US style ?? OR you staunchly oppose it.

Sunanda, no doubt, I am a supporter of American Culture. Whats wrong in it? Why you people are so panic over American Culture?

Only in Indian culture we wont allow others to be free and open minded.

1. Females are dominated by males.
2. Children are dominated by parents.
and it continues like that.
 
The discussion should not be on the topic if we should accept American way of life or India.... way of life keep chaning with time and it should... just we need to make sure that it is positive change for the society..... Love marriage which was very rare eariler is coming common now a days... but it need to be made sure that it do not give rise to honour killing.........
 
I think India and America are two totally different societies, and each society developes its own culture, it borrows somethings from other culture.
So its not the debate as to whether we should accept it or reject it.
The question is how is it going to our culture positively or negatively???
 
Yes I believe every word of it. India is India & no other country can have such kind of variety of cultures across all borders...:SugarwareZ-178:
 
it depends from person to person....how comfortable the individual is to choose whatever is good for him/her(american or indian), irrespective of his origin i.e indian.....
whats 'correct' for you might not be 'correct' for others....its just opinion....culture always has and will evolve.....
 
Yes, We should reject American Way of Life...I feel lucky being born in an Indian family where there are plenty of traditions, customs, values, beliefs, languages and ofcourse varity of people which can be found only in India...! The way Americans live..is their own choice and they have been living....We should enjoy the life the way we are cultured and brought up...with some twists and turns..
Because...it happens only in India..!

I believe the core values of our culture are strong enough and there should not any such perception of accepting or rejecting of American Culture. We used to adopt so called American Culture or Western Culture upto the limit of core values. Same time we are flexible enough to adopt any culture which is not so rigid.
 
i feel we should take the good points and reject the bad points
E.g. concept of living together, junk food, etc can be rejected
But Americans are generally willing to take a lot of risk, they like new ideas, very good in organization so such things can be imbibed
 
The Indian culture is a lot remarkable. Indians have value for life and culture. We all respect our traditions, cultures. We should not adopt everything like Americans but there is no problem in changing our way of living if it is beneficial and give good results.
