Globalization and culture. Stereotyping and globalization in contemporary film

Summary/Abstract: In my paper I have concentrated on the negative aspects of globalization and have examined them in the films created in English-speaking countries, The United States of America and the United Kingdom. Based on the analysis of the following films, (Gury Burns, Waydowntown 2000), TV series (The Apprentice, 2003–6, TV documentary series), Wall Street (Oliver Stone, 1987) Bigger than Enron (Marc Shaffer, 2002), Darwin’s Nightmare (Hubert Sauper: 2004) and The Future of Food (Deborah Koons Garcia, 2005), I have concluded that although globalization is considered one of the most awe-inspiring phenomena both in economy and culture, it has also created negative indices, such as victimization of human subjects as unsuspecting targets of globalization.
