Some people think that it is good for a country's culture to import foreign movies and TV programmes. Others think that it is better to produce these locally. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
The issue of whether a country should import international movies and TV programs is still a controversial question. Although I agree that this tendency could be beneficial for national culture, I still believe that it is necessary to promote local production of these.
For a variety of reasons, importing foreign movies and TV shows could benefit a country’s culture. Firstly, these products might be a contributor to a nation’s cultural diversity. Foreign countries often convey their actual customs and routines through these forms of entertainment, which enhances viewers’ understanding about their cultural characteristics. Secondly, international films and shows are considered as an amazing method to study foreign languages. In contemporary world, language should not be a barrier to cultural integration, and many adolescents are interested in a more inspiring way of learning a new language like foreign films and TV shows rather than traditional studying methods.
On the other hand, I still believe that local production of movies and TV shows should be paid more attention. The first reason is that these products might promote the youth’s national pride and patriotism. For example, by watching the beautiful landscapes of the country shown on the screen, young generations could be proud that their nation also possesses magnificent sceneries, and feel confident when they are engaged in global relationships. In addition, the youth could gain deeper understanding about their country’s culture. Loads of youngsters today only own poor knowledge about national history, so movies and TV shows could act as an effective measure to deal with this problem.
In conclusion, while some people argue that importing international movies and TV programs might benefit a nation’s culture to some extent, it seems to me that local production should be given more attention to promote the culture of a country.
