Noun. [C2]

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.”
