	Americanization
		Americanization is not only changing the world, but also causing wrong judgments to be made about American life.
		American globalization not only wrongly stereotypes us, but also causes many nations to hate the "American Way." It may have even caused the terrorist attacks on September 11.
		Americanization is now in full swing and sees no end in sight, particularly because many Americans perceive it as a great achievement.

	Americanization of Finance: Dynamics and Dangers - Council on Foreign Relations

		Americanization of Finance is associated with greater volatility in asset prices, interest rates and exchange rates than in most prior historical periods.

		Americans of European, Asian and Latin American descent seem willing enough to intermarry, belying fears of non‑white immigrants' inherent unassimilability, and pointing to the potential amalgamation of the immigrant stock.
		In fact, the ethnic balkanization pinpointed by demographer William Frey is the immigration equivalent of the white flight caused by busing.

	The Claremont Institute: The Americanization of God
		It was, moreover, thoroughly American; its assumptions drew from the revolutionary principles of the founders, and these were in turn adopted by all the major churches in the United States.
		From their republican and commonsense commitments, Americans expected to read their Bible the same way they read their Constitution: all of its precepts were binding unless explicitly amended, none of its passages was superfluous, and its simplest exegesis was normative.
		In a day when American exceptionalism is roundly decried, it is apparently inconceivable to these authors that the keenest theological minds this land has yet produced may have shared with so many of their compatriots a deep and heartfelt faith in America.

	John Fonte on assimilation & INS on National Review Online (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The most comprehensive evidence we have on the patriotic assimilation of the children of immigrants is a longitudinal study by the Russell Sage Foundation.
		If Americanization or patriotic assimilation is to succeed today, it must be institutionalized as it was in the past.
		Civic assimilation, American style, is (as most of us agree) not based on adherence to particular ethnic customs, religious beliefs, cultural rituals, or culinary traditions, but on political loyalty to our democratic republic.

		Israeli government in an attempt to slow down Americanization now requires their radio stations to devote half their airtime to Hebrew songs while the American school children are mandated by our left wing school system to learn and sing the dreidel and shun silent night.
		Americans need a shot in the arm; maybe a man on a white horse to remind the future generations of Americans to reassess their values.

	Americanization
		By 1922 the Chicago Board of Education, which provided most Americanization teachers, had established 31 classes in night schools, 60 in factories, 62 in community centers, and 20 in special “mothers programs.” The city's settlement houses, YMCAs, churches, and patriotic and fraternal groups cooperated with the board but also sponsored their own programs.
		The movement reached a crescendo in 1921–22 with a series of large patriotic pageants with thousands of immigrants publicly swearing allegiance, all part of a rather coercive push for “100 percent Americanism.” It declined along with immigration between the 1920s and 1960s as a result of immigration restriction, depression, and war.
		Thus, most immigrants became acculturated through informal contacts at the workplace, in the saloon or polling place, through movies or radio, or, in the case of children, in the city's streets, alleys, and playgrounds and small parks.

	The Americanization of the Muslim American (Site not responding. Last check: )
		These people, along with a long list of other Americans, believe that the problem with Muslims and immigrants in general is that they fail to “Americanize.” Muslims fail to learn the language, adopt the values, celebrate the rituals, or participate in the processes of American society.
		The average American will not expect Muslims to give up their values or religion; after all, that is the definition of who they are.
		Muslim Americans will end up finding their voice in US politics, as have every other minority; it is just a matter of time.

	Americanization and the Bennett Law - Wisconsin Historical Society
		In the mid-nineteenth century, reformers began to view education as a means of social change.

		In the 19th century, Wisconsin's first white settlers were mainly Yankees from New York and New England, but in the 1840s large numbers of European immigrants, primarily Germans and Norwegians, began settling in Wisconsin.

	Americanization
		As individuals, Americans are well liked and friendly; it is the presence of their way of life, of their culture, that makes americanization such an ugly word.
		American products are distributed internationally but are not made for international markets: they are made for the U.S. market, by, for, and about Americans.
		Americanization is a case in point of a basic process of acculturation.

	Swans Commentary: The Americanization Of The World, by Gilles d'Aymery - ga199
		The American strain of the liberal virus is an undiluted economic liberalism, which is the actual meaning of liberty in the U.S., the so-called "pursuit of happiness." There never was, and there is no, egalitarian project in American liberalism.
		According to Amin, the American working class has been unable to develop a durable, assertive class consciousness because of the successive waves of immigration and the "communitarianization" of American society (identity politics), as well as the perpetually reinforced notion of "individual success," always measured in monetary terms.
		It is based on a total separation between the management of political life, which rests on the practice of multiparty electoral democracy, and the management of economic life, which is governed by the laws of capital accumulation.

	Immigrants, Nativism, Americanization
		Americanism" or "Nativism," the belief that native-born Americans, especially if of Anglo-Saxon extraction, have superior rights to the "foreign-born," intensified during the "Red Scare" of 1919-1920.
		One of the most important ways in which immigrants received training in Americanization was, thus, through the consumer society, particularly through efforts encouraging foreigners to own, furnish, maintain and inhabit homes in keeping with "American" ideas of cleanliness, decoration, nutrition, recreation, and so forth.
		Americanization through Homemaking (1929), published by the Department of Americanization and Homemaking of the Covina (California) City Elementary Schools, a syllabus aimed at Mexican immigrants of elementary school age, incorporated lessons in how to live in the American consumer economy that were driven home in spades in

	'Americanization,' real and imagined - Arts & Leisure - International Herald Tribune
		According to some accounts, the term "Americanization" was coined in France during the 19th century, and even then there seemed to hover about it a wariness, a prescient caution.
		Most threateningly for many, "Americanization" also meant a setting aside of the social order in ruthless pursuit of profit, a jury-rigged class system based on money, a rootless and dislocated population, a random disordering of priorities.
		The views are, variously, those of an American high school boy, half- Irish, half-Egyptian by background, who is intoxicated by Islam; an elderly Lebanese immigrant; that immigrant's American-born son; and a rather ambiguous Yemeni imam who is the high school boy's religious teacher.
