We are reminded dali of the phenomenon. In the corner of a traditional Korean home sits a television set tuned to a baseball game in which a visiting American team is losing. A Canadian family, meanwhile, decorates their home with sculptures and paintings imported from Pakistan. Teenagers in Singapore and Hong Kong pay for American blue jeans while high school students in England and France take courses on the making of traditional Indonesian costumes. Around the planet the streams of the world's cultures merge together to form new currents of human interaction.
