Ya. I started with "North America". I agree, that there are great cultures out there. However, I feel like many of those peoples might be prisoners of their own cultures.

IMsubjectiveO, I would like to see every country kind of do what I imagine they did in Europe (I've never been) - before all the anti-culture nonsense and forced immigration shit. In my mind I picture some people in Switzerland in lederhosen with with jugs of beer and wheels of cheese while others in sleek architecture and precision watches designing fonts - and similar stereotypes from top to bottom across Europe. Freedom, to be traditional, modern, or whatever.

I can even look at the "culture" in Canada and regret that most of it is just as bland as our North American architecture, but there are exceptions and regions that can't help but hold their own a bit more - from the Pacific NorthWest to Muskoka to the Maritimes.

Regardless, all of it is overlaid with a general "Anglo / Western" culture like a universal corporate default that is shrink wrapping the world. It's this default consumerist gentrification that I'd like to really see slowed down or stopped, and maybe reversed in favour of independent culture (ie. Burning Man, memes, flash mobs, DIY makers, preppers, open source, co-ops, communities, etc).

Canada has the MAPL system for music to not be drowned out by American culture. Q: What is Canadian culture? A: Anything a Canadian does. The radios had to play 33% Canadian content (thus the band name KonKan). Every album has a MAPL icon for Music, Artist, Producer, Lyrics and to be considered "Canadian" it has to have 2/4 or more. Of course there was some chicanery with ex-pats who'd moved to Hollywood and so on, but it worked for the most part.

I don't know how you might apply that to corporate culture at large.
