Due to the development of the internet and new communication technology, cultural borders have been taken down. Although the U.S is still the dominant force in hegemony, we see more cultures from different countries influencing the U.S. I think the recent rise in international studies play a key role in globalization. in 2015, there were 85% more international students enrolled in American universities than there were in 2005.
