Some people think that it's good for a country's culture to show imported foreign films and TV programs. Other people think that country should develop their own film and TV programs instead

Blockbusters,

TV

series and variety shows from various countries have gained popularity around the world thanks to the progress of internet connections and globalization. Some believe their prevalence is beneficial to domestic cultures as imported films and

TV

productions expand the locals' horizons, promote intercultural understanding and nurture

this

trade within the

nation

.

However

, the opposite claim the necessity of fostering

this

industry of its own for cultural, political and economic reasons. Apparently, the import of foreign works largely entertains their audience

while

the cultural background, history and other values in them are taken in naturally and willingly during the enjoyment.

Thus

, local viewers get to know more about the external environment and gradually digest the trivial differences between, which helps tourists, overseas students, business travellers and migrants between cultures communicate and merge more easily. In regard to less professional local film and

TV

makers, successful commercials and

TV

serials set excellent examples to learn from and if necessary, the technology and the expertise can be introduced to help the advancement of local industry of the same trade.

However

, it is essential to develop it for any

nation

. Concerning cultural factors, domestic films and

TV

programs are the representation and narration of its own civilization and

this

reveals and proves the distinct identity of people in

this

nation

.

This

kind of narration maintains and even strengthens people's belief in

this

nation

and

thus

, in political concerns, it defends the

nation

from turbulence and separation.

Furthermore

, big commercials have proved their business value since the box office hit, namely Titanic, so developing

this

business can

also

be a radical approach to boosting the local economy. In my opinion, imported and lock productions are not totally contradictory and should both be supported by audiences and governments as merits mentioned above
