Brendon O’Connor wrote the passage “Bored with the USA?” in order to make the point that the American culture is very prominent in Australia. He mentions how students in Australia know more about the society and customs through American television than through their own school lessons. Some students have even voiced their opinion to O’Connor of how they prefer how the professors in America teach as opposed to how the professors in Australia teach. O’Connor argues that even though does not want to make a “total rejection of American popular culture (O’Connor )”, he believes that Australians should not forget their own vibrant culture by identically copying the culture in America.
