It's two very famous singers and actresses in Asia singing a song about American Cowboys...
No wonder so many asians want to be cowboys... or cowgirls...
Media does affect how we express ourselves. In this case, people in Asia are interested in American culture and western ideas in general. When people in Asia watch TV shows and Music Videos, they instantly get the idea about what to be and who they might want to be. SO, some people want to be cowboys because they think cowboys are cool but they never watch hippies in Music Videos in Hongkong and they had no idea what does hippies do. The option of being a hippie man has never came to their mind, but cowboys.
Media gives us a chance to learn about new ideas and influences how we think, at the same time, it limits us what we think.
