Yes, this so much!!!

Everything about US-based companies' success globally has to do with the fact that we've had a head-start on exporting our culture through media.

Everyone in the world has some idea in their head (regardless of how true) of what Americans are like. Can you say the same for the French? Germans? Portuguese?

A lot of it has to do with the fact that there is a close relationship between our companies, our government, and the application of our considerable intelligence and military resources, too.
