Write an essay in which you, as a person who has experienced both your own and American culture, critically evaluate the extent to which O’Connor’s and Rice-Oxley’s impression about the pervasive American influence on world culture holds true in your country.
Paper details

In their essays, Brendon O’Connor and Mark Rice-Oxley argue that American cultural influence has been so overwhelming that it can be seen in almost every part of the world. They observe that many people in the world consume American food, follow American fashion, enjoy American entertainment products, and even use the American language. This love affair of the world with American cultural products can be explained by consumers’ association of U.S. products with images of “progress, glamour and freedom” (Roberts 168). Or it can be explained, as O’Connor notes, by their easy accessibility and highly entertaining quality, fueled by U.S. multinational companies’ “unrivalled distribution and marketing advantages” (162).

Guidance
The most important guidance that can be given is: engage with the readings recommended by the tutors. Independent research is not required. The second most important piece of advice is: answer the question posed (not the question you would have liked to answer). The most common cause of poor marks is that work submitted fails to address the question. Focus like a laser on the question and these problems are avoidable.

Remember the assessment is designed to test your knowledge and understanding of the module’s content.

Including materials which are neither included in, nor relevant to, the module is very unlikely to be beneficial.

Writing about Theater is not rocket science–it is sometimes harder than rocket science as there are not exact laws–only opinions argued persuasively and more persuasively. More persuasively is better.
This is an opportunity to demonstrate what you have learned and are learning in Theater, by comparing and contrasting the musicals Drowsy Chaperone and Newsies. Use Aristotle’s recipe and add Cohen’s seventh ingredient.
Some questions you might want to answer, to address all seven elements:
• In which show was plot the most important element?
• Which show had the best characters? The most intriguing? Which performer had the most successful performance? Which had the least successful? (don’t think in large roles or small–think successful with the role they had;)
• Which show had the most compelling theme/message. State the theme of each show.
• Which show had the better lyrics?
• Which show had the better music?
• Which show was not overpowered by spectacle, which Aristotle felt was the least important ingredient in the recipe for theatre. Which show reached the Goldilocks moment–not too much, not too little, but just right?
• To appreciate its performance, which show’s audience needed a knowledge of the conventions of a stage musical?
