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.
