STARS AND STRIPES

What are 10 American products that you can identify as leading brands in your part of the world? Why are these brands considered to be better than your own local equivalent products? What influences your view of the products? Look at the ways in which the products marketed or publicised to you, e.g.

• TV and film characters use them
• they appear on clothing such as T-shirts and caps
• they are associated with sponsored events on TV and in real life
• sporting and entertainment role models promote them
• they have cool adverts on TV, cinema and in print

Consider why you believe these products are the best and most popular.

Based on your findings - is the world becoming Americanised? What is your view on this?
