Hi everyone! Please, check my essay 🙏 Globalization is an ongoing
trend which has captured almost every country. Currently, people from
all over the world tend to listen to the same music, watch the same movies,
share the same values and even wear the same clothes. One can say that
globalization is going to destroy local cultures. These people see threat in
this process and often urge local authorities to claim precedence of
their own culture over a foreign one. So, is globalization truly dangerous?
From my point of view, the obvious factor of globalization is the dominance of
western music and the movie industry. People from around the globe often prefer
to watch a famous Hollywood blockbuster instead of a local movie. Sometimes,
cinemas even postpone releases of local pictures in favor of promising
western movies with popular actors in order to gain more money. Personally, I do
not consider this to be a problem. We have to admit that many Hollywood companies
often have much bigger budgets than any local movie production business. Thus,
not only do they attract the most successful actors, they make
spectacular shows on screen. I believe that it is hard to deceive the audience
and they have the right to choose more appealing pictures no matter if they
are local or not. Furthermore, some say that we might lose our own values and
start to respect those of somebody else’s more if we cling on global trends and
opinions. Indeed, it appears to be true as we can see it from social
networks where foreigners often respond to and discuss the news from western
countries. However, in my mind, only young people are inclined to plunge into
foreign cultures this much. Getting older, they usually start to appreciate
their roots more. To sum up, i believe globalization to be an essential part of the modern
world. Nevertheless, I believe that globalization is not powerful enough to undermine the
pillars of local societies.
