Some believe that it is beneficial to show foreign films while others feel this can have a negative impact on local culture. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Nowadays, many
people
believe that watching foreign films
has many benefits. While
others feel these films
can lead to a negative impact on local culture
, I would argue that it has more advantages than disadvantages when showing foreign films
.
On the one hand, it is argued by some that showing foreign films
is more beneficial. Firstly
, foreign films
will introduce different new cultures in the world so they can learn more practical knowledge of many different cultures. Secondly
, many societal problems are introduced in foreign films
such
as gun violence, immigration, and homophobic issues that can help people
in crucial insights into their society and culture
. Then
, people
will have solutions to avoid negative social effects in their local culture
. For example
, films
in India show in poor countryside many women don't have access to go to school, they have to marry early and they don't have respect for their husband's families. From this
, people
can understand the importance of study and encourage more study.
On the other hand
, I can understand why many people
feel foreign films
can have a negative impact on local culture
. The first reason, many people
are affected by films
very easily, especially the younger generation. They can imitate toxic actions that may not be socially appropriate or local culture
. For example
, many students today tend to wear sexy clothes from a very early age influenced by watching foreign films
and imitating them despite the inappropriate local culture
. Another reason is that younger people
just focus on finding and watching foreign films
, which can lead to difficulty in developing local films
.
In conclusion, although
there are many reasons why people
watch foreign movies a lot which is detrimental to local culture
. I still believe there are many benefits from showing foreign films
without affecting the development of domestic films
or local culture
in many ways.Submitted by jakedth162 on
