Summary/Abstract: The omnipresence of American culture, which can be accounted for by the fact that people are exposed to it via various media, is perceived as ubiquitous and, as such, subject to (often emotional) attitude. The paper deals with the phenomenon of American cultural and linguistic omnipresence, which is not only felt in the global media content, but also in various other important aspects of life, such as political and/or economic. It investigates the link between the historical background of American culture and the contemporary perception of it and offers an awareness raising insight into the attitude towards global cultural trends.
