The East Asia effect

The effect of a larger entity appealing more towards external entities with more resources rather than their own entities.
It is named after the continuous double standards set in East Asian countries like China, Japan, and South Korea on Western tourists, giving them a false rrality that many citizens dream to have. A big example are then amount of people wanting to work in Japan despite its hellish working conditions because of the false vision being given to them. This can also be seen on corporations appealing to a small handful of investors, resulting in them alienating their wider target audience

Korean guy looking at twitter: Why are so many westerners trying to subject themselves to our hellish life?
Another Korean guy who has been on twitter for a long time: It's the East Asia Effect

Political Mainstream Supremacy Effect

A major political and social issue that arises when during election season, Republicans and Democrats have more access to the media, public relations professionals, and have more education and training on how to effectively campaign in political elections than nonmainstream political parties have, which results in the Republicans in Democrats winning more elections than nonmainstream political parties. Many members of the general public have been conditioned by the mainstream political parties to believe this is acceptable when in fact it is not. The best way to address this problem is actively work to ensure that nonmainstream political parties have more access to the media, p.r. professionals, and education on how to effectively run a political campaign.

The Political Mainstream Supremacy Effect has been around for many years and over time has had a very heavy, negative impact on the political diversity found in governments in all levels of jurisdiction all over the U.S.
