Scenarios about 'cultural exports'
Cultural exports are goods, media, ideas, or practices originating in one society that are adopted or consumed by others across national boundaries. These include art, music, film, cuisine, fashion, literature, and social trends that reflect a nation's values and identity while exerting influence abroad.
