Part A What is a claim the author makes in "Globalization and Cultural Identity"?

Advancements in technology are the biggest threat to preserving traditional cultures and local businesses.

Young people are returning to wearing traditional clothing as a way to rebel against the influence of big business.

American influence is spreading to other countries through international business.

Older generations are responsible for the failure of younger generations to succeed in global economies.
Question 2
Part B

The author supports the claim in Part A by stating that international businesses are always looking for new markets in which to sell their products and make a profit.

How well does this reason support the author's claim?

It is effective because it explains a direct benefit of globalization to traditional cultures and economies.

It is somewhat effective because it explains why American companies want to expand to other countries.

It is ineffective because it contradicts the argument that globalization is damaging to traditional cultures.

It is irrelevant because it fails to explain why countries are willing to allow international companies to compete in their economies.

old disney was more kid oriented as appose to new disney it's more teen oriented.i guess what i'm trying to say is new disney is way more mature and out there then old disney. for instance all you see in new disney is bf/gf drama and old disney it was nothing like that. kids are growing up and as coorpations like disney, nickolden etc they tend to follow what kids follow so they can have more views . therefore   they have inferred   that now days kids want to have relationships and stuff so that's what disney gives them.
