Although, Venezuela does not have democratic government, I think that they are still vulnerable to Cultural Imperialism. Even though, some of their media is regulated by the president Hugo Chavez, they can still get and idea of what is going on around the world and see the different types of trends other countries are coming up with. Just like in other parts of the world, a McDonalds in Venezuela had to be shut down for 48 hours because the goverment thought that there were some irregularities with the financial aspect of the restaurants according to msnbc.
Cultural Imperialism in any part of the world can have its pros and cons. It can be positive in a way that allows people to be exposed to different cultures as well as different mentalities. On the other hand, however, it can harm the culture's customs and languages.
