===============================
Coca-colonization
“Coca-Cola” has been, without any doubt, a universal language nowadays. Throughout its 120 years of history, Coca-Cola has indeed built a very powerful consumer network throughout almost 150 countries (Constance L. Hay) all round the world. However, although its brand has gone through the process of foreign integration, the Coca-Cola Company still perpetuates an image of an American ambassador to spread the idea of being democratic, good, unique, traditional and full of freedom. Americans have even coined a word for it: "Coca-colonization." It is a term which has the idea of “erosion of a country’s indigenous culture” in replace of the American values. (Wikipedia) In this essay, with reference to Coca-colonization, one is going to analyze the intentional meanings derived from product-external methods (Dr. Neil Drave) by the customers and producers of Coca-Cola Company in the text provided. Coca-Cola Company has invested millions and billions of dollars to perpetuate an image of international unity by adopting local culture to Coca-Cola.
===========================
Cocacolonization (alternatively coca-colonization) is a term that refers to globalization or cultural colonization. It is a portmanteau of the name of the multinational soft drink maker Coca-Cola and the word colonization.
The term is used to imply either:
the importation of Western (particularly American) goods or
an invasion by Western and especially American cultural values that threatens the local culture.
While it is possible to use the term benignly, it has been used pejoratively to liken globalization to Westernization or Americanization.
The term has been used at least since 1949; one of the first documented uses is in the warnings in French communist press of that era. It gained high visibility in the European Americanization debate with the 1994 publication of the Reinhold Wagnleitner's book, Coca-Colonization and the Cold War: The Cultural Mission of the United States in Austria After the Second World War. The expression also became a catch phrase of the anti-globalization movement.
