In the era of globalization, plenty of foreign movies and TV programs enjoy a high level of popularity around the world. Some people argue that this brings many benefits to the local culture. Others, however, assert that the development of domestic films and TV programs ought to be prioritized.
Importing foreign movies or TV programs has many advantages. The one that attracts the most publicity is that this improves people’s awareness of diversified cultures. For example, many young people in China understand American customs and lifestyles by watching Friends. Consequently, they might eliminate prejudice when adjusting to unfamiliar cultures. Besides, local filmmakers and program producers have the chance of approaching new perspectives and technical expertise, such as high-quality scripts and first-rate special effects. Therefore, more local films are inclined to compete and demonstrate on an international stage, attracting audiences and spreading domestic cultures all over the world.
However, reliance on domestic films can contribute substantially to the cultural development of a nation. A compelling reason is that local TV programs tend to be culturally embedded, which in turn promote the development of domestic tourism. For instance, “Where Are We Going, Dad?”, one of the most popular Chinese TV shows, resulted in a great number of tourists from home and abroad exploring historical attractions where they were televised. Furthermore, governments could maintain and preserve their typical values. By watching nationally produced films and TV programs, people would develop a sense of belonging to its culture, such as cooking traditional cuisines and attending national festivals.
In my opinion, although introducing foreign films and TV programs is beneficial to a country's culture, domestic ones which enhance and encourage local cultural values should be highly supported.
