Spanish Language Television Shows on the More Common in America

In order to understand the rise in globalization pertaining to languages and cultures, one must look at the expansion of television programs and services in the English, Spanish, and Portuguese languages. Even some of the most remote areas use television as a means of communication. Specifically in the regions of the Spanish and Portuguese, certain media companies have risen and are able to show the massive markets for which they produce. 

The most relevant case of language usage in television is the Spanish language. This language is the mother dialect in some twenty countries in Latin America. No other language is spoken in as many countries as this national language. The Portuguese situation is quite different in that all of the people speaking Portuguese are in one country, Brazil. Since the Portuguese language is only the mother dialect in Brazil, there are fewer television markets and the markets are smaller and more restricted. Amazingly enough, Brazil has the largest amounts of televisions in households throughout the country.
Another Spanish speaking country that has a large amount of television production is Mexico. They have the second largest amount of televisions per household; there are over 2.2 million televisions in the country of Mexico. This goes to show you how much the Spanish speaking countries rely/depend on television. Along with television, one must look at the different aspects of culture in Latin America.
