In the article, you will probably see a girl wearing a tshirt that says 'too hot to handle'. This is also an indication that American culture penetrating Turkish veins on north Anatolia.
I really don't think this is 'American culture penetrating Turkish veins'. I mean, I'm sure there's plenty of American culture invading Europe and Asia all across the continent, but this isn't it. It's just a mass-market t-shirt that made its way to a young Turkish girl. These are sold en masse everywhere, including in used clothing stores.
The very idea of a "market" which is a "mass-market" and a "t-shirt" as a clothing item, which then become together a "mass-market t-shirt" (meaning globalised production chains, exploitative corporate governance, fast fashion, conspicuous consumption, etc) is already in itself an example of permeating "American culture".

American culture isn't 'mass-market' though, mass-market clothes exist everywhere and so does exploitative governance, consumption, etc. The fact that some of that clothing makes it over to remote regions doesn't mean they're suddenly going to be permeated with 'American culture', they aren't cavemen discovering fire. It's just an item of clothing, albeit one that somehow found its way into their particular place of…
Yes.
You seem to disconnect in your thought the very fact that these production models are American culture. The indigenous operation of markets before imperialism would basically use different production models and produce different goods.
The very thing you're describing is a consequence of American cultural hegemony.
Edit: Of course culture never occurs in a vacuum and transculturation goes both ways. Also I'm not denying advantages or affirming disadvantages of the current state of transculturation between cultures. I'm simply pointing out that we (US-influenced western etc etc) are so deeply into it that we don't even perceive it as "ours" and simply perceive it as "the way things are"
