McDonald’s is a representation for american society in a bunch of different ways. The one that comes to mind for me is the atmosphere of the restaurant. It is geared toward the blue collared american much in the same way that ford’s model t was in the early 1900s. McDonald’s represents America’s mass production economy and sometimes that can be a negative thing especially in foreign countries. Kincheloe even said that some McDonald’s locations in Sweden were bombed because the Swedes viewed them as American imperialism. But think about when you enter a McDonald’s restaurant nobody is wearing fancy clothes, Table manners are not a thing, and Everything is relatively cheap. It is the Walmart of the fast food world. Americans want it fast cheap and greasy and McDonald’s delivers, and is the epitome of american fast food. This can be linked to Appalachian society because many in Appalachia are poor so they do not have the means to afford much else other than McDonald’s so it could be viewed by some as a resturant for “Hillbillies” however I do not thing it is limited the Appalachia as it caters to low income populations of all types in the city or the country.
