Changes

Cultural dimensions of the American Empire include the spread of American music and movies--and even more important the spread of Christian values by missionaries.

Anti-American forces in the Third World often capitalized on local hatred of oppressive empires by using the label ''American Empire'' in a negative sense. On the far left in the U.S. it is also a hostile theme, as represented by [[Noam Chomsky]] and [[Chalmers Johnson]]. Their argument is that America represents the evils of capitalism and religion and should be stopped from influencing the people of the world.
