During my critical perspective communications class the other day, we were trying to decide what were the major reasons that Muslims and other people of Middle-Eastern have a problem with American hip hop/rap music. Most of the class and I bounced around a few different ideas that made sense but nobody was able to point out the most obvious feature in that hip hop is an American export. This thought blew my mind, being that it is so obvious and so true at the same time. From what I can understand, anything "American" is not approved of over there and music is no different. Also, different styles such as clothing, attitude, and such derived from hip hop music is also making an impact on their culture.In a sense it is just another McDonaldized feature
taking their society by storm. Thoughts?
Critical Perspective Class, what major is that in? It sounds interesting, as does this conversation you had in your class.
