Meaning of McDonalds-ization | Babel Free

Examples

“Francis Ford Coppola, maker of such films as Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Apocalypse Now, in Details magazine on why movies aren’t as good as they used to be: “Essentially, the film industry is now the child of network television. The people that now run the studios have all been television executives and agents. So that same thing that produced the Vast Wasteland has now bought the movie industry. It’s formulization, McDonalds-ization. Don’t forget, television used to be a fertile place for writers, but it got neutralized.””

“But given the uneven balance of technological power, some fear that the newly available media would only reinforce the established roles and simply make the same old monologue louder. The result then might be a McDonalds-ization of Latin American culture.”

“Both Menchaca and Urrutia-Rojas commented that first-generation Mexican immigrants tend to enjoy healthy foods and lifestyles. The McDonalds-ization of their diets and culture over time takes a toll.”
