- I'm guessing this is going to get into the popular culture in the Arab world because it is becoming Westernized.
- Wow, so this American Idol show had amazing voter turnout because most of the govts. over there are not democratic and if they are, the elections are fixed! So this gives them an opportunity to actually voice their opinion about something. I never vote for shows like that because it all just seems so silly, but I never thought if it that way.
- hmm..so is it arguing that this is giving people a sense of power without actually giving them any because it's just a silly pop music show?
- I mean, I think it is kind of too bad that Western culture is turning these female pop stars into sex icons and that they have to look sexy to be popular. It goes against many of their values- they lose some of what makes them different and unique by adopting Western styles.
- I mean, these women should have the right to be sexy if they want without being censored at the same time. But it just seems like they are copying us and not evolving as a culture on their own. It's almost inevitable though with how technology allows communication and transmission of media to be spread all around the world. Cultures are just going to mix I guess and the more powerful culture will be the dominant one.
