Comparing and Contrasting
In India a lot of things are centered around tradition. The foods, clothing, music, housing, and sports all say one thing about India, they are very into their culture. In my category of "Fashion in India" the picture labeled "A trendy take on a traditional Sari" goes to show that no matter how styles change aournd them, they we still find a way to get in contact with their beliefs and culture. America, however is a little more of a bowl of mixed fruits and nuts. Each person is individually unique. The fashion, foods, sports, music, entertainment, news, and housing all comes doown to one person, each person living in America. Because of so many cultures, heritages, and races living in America it is really hard (and enjoyable) to pin-point a specific culture for America. America is simply a melting pot! All in all India and America have their on distinct way of things.

Effects of Popular Culture/Role of Globalization
Probably one of the biggest Impact each countries has had on each other is in the movie industry. It is no secret that both countries (America and India) are major moguls when it comes to movies. Every since the creation of Bollywood and Hollywood they have been using each other ideas to better improve themslves. With the help of globalization movies from India have found their way to America. For example, the popular film in both America and India, "Slumdog Millionaire" was very successful. Movies are not the only impact each countries have on each other. America and India are two of the world's richest and largest democracies. To keep peace between both superpower democracies often India and America work together. An example would be American companies outsourcing to India. Often a time American companies outsource to India because business held there is fairly inexpensive. This outsourcing helps both countries out economically. Outsourcing would not have been possibleif not for the power of globalization. With globalization it is possible for both countries to keep up with each other's lives.

Current Controversy
Currently controversy where I live is all around. However, the most controversial in my opinion would be the issue of abortion. Abortion in America is a big issue some people are against it and some are for it. But I can fully see both sides of the issue. On the side that is for abortion, I feel it must not have been an overnight decission. Taking away a life is something very serioues, but some do make that decision. Some people are for abortion for the simple fact that they are not ready for a child. In America we are living in tough economic times, and in case you haven't heard raising a child is very difficult and expensive.
There are other reasons to like in the case of incest and rap, which can complicate things.
Then there is the other side of the people who don't believe in abortion. Many people are thinking that if you can hear that baby"s heart beat, then it is a living person, and therefore wrong to kill it. Also, if a woman is considering an abortion, she should consider adoption. I personally feel that a child should not be the victim in a bad situation. But at the end of the day it's not my decision, it's the woman who is carrying that baby.
