Foreign Television Channels are Destroying Our Culture

Well. I feel that foreign TV channels are destroying our culture through influence. Am a Nigerian and I have seen a lot. Most Nigerians now don't value their culture any more when it comes to food they prefer eating foreign food to our own locally made food which is even more nutritious and healthier to our body also language.

Most Nigerians don't even care about speaking their mother tongue anymore fashion also. They prefer wearing foreign materials and so on which is not meant to be.

Dear friend,

I would like to say that actually I had take part in debate competition and my topic is ''Is really television spoiling our Indian culture and I'm in the against of the motion. Apart of this I have to say that the television is the great medium for education and other useful learning stuff but we cannot ignore the dark side of television, the young generation were spoiling their knowledge toward the reality of world and were living in the world of imaginations.

Hi friends, I am Jagadish.

I wants to express my own view on this gd topic. In my view foreign TV channels are not destroying our culture but it improve our knowledge on the various factors. When we see the channel like historical channel, discovery, BBC, etc. We gets a lot of knowledge basically on English. We gets new knowledge from historical channels, as we gets chances to see many new places, specially the historical places.

We develops our English power when we hear their speaking style, their pronunciation, tone, etc. We also gets a lot of scientific knowledge from foreign channel. It is also developed our general knowledge. Though it has bad effects but it is totally depends on us what to see and what not to see.

So in my view we should except the right thing and left the evil side, so that it will be better for us in future.

Thanks you.

A country where you prefer foreign brand, you watch Hollywood movies more than Bollywood, you speak and write a foreign language, you plan you holidays in foreign countries, you want job in foreign country, you prefer your baby to be born in foreign mean while you crave for every foreign thing, then what is the problem with foreign channel. At-least we get some sensible to watch on those channels.

And for the people who are talking about Indian culture, my question is what is your culture. Demand for dowry is your culture!, getting burnt by your mother-in-law is your culture!, not wearing jeans is your culture!, kissing in public is again your culture!, demanding for reservation is your culture! Come on!

My opinion regarding these topic is that foreign TV channels are not destroying our culture it depends upon the viewers thought from these channels we can improve the communication skill, through these channels BBC, discovery, national geography we can get the information of other countries in few minutes we can understand there culture and various techniques they are using for agriculture.

As well as how they are doing the transportation of fruits various product coming from farm to get more benefit as in India almost 60% of people are farmer. So it depends upon the person which things should he take which should not. Another thing is that about the fashion TV through these we can gain how to wear dress for various function to look a good person.

In TV channels serials are telecasting from Monday to Saturday from 9:00 am to 11:00 pm not only for the entertainment but also human being health are upset. I think so TV channels are destructing the Indian culture not only for this reason finally I want to say one the thing human beings are addicted towards serials more then news channels.

Guys you people done well. But, what I wanna say is foreign channels are just like tide. When it is coming before to us if we will be there we will be die. But if we move aside we will be safe. Just, like that if we watch any vulgar stuff it will disturb us. If we ignore it we will be safe. So, it is not channels mistake they have right to exhibit there culture. It's our fault of misusing it.

Some channels who display discovery/invention/technology are not destroying our culture they improve our knowledge.

But some other channels who display homosexuality/other bad contents are certainly destroying our culture. Our eyes and ears are input device for our brain, the data that enters in brain will be surely affecting the person, we can't ignore that. And kids don't even know what to keep and what to discard.

Remember the topic of this GD was "whether foreign channels are destroying our culture" and not who else is responsible for this, so do not divert from the topic indeed some channels are responsible.

Well, I don't think so that foreign channel destroy our culture. There are lot of English channels and it depends on person's channel choice. If they want to improve their language - 2, this is the best way.

If we watch the Hollywood movies, BBC news channels we learn lot of things like how to talk, read, write and listen their language. I often watch these channels and I improve myself in language - 2.

I completely disagree with that foreign TV is destroying over. It is true very interesting serial, movie and documentary leaves its influence in memory. But It depends on a person how does he assume and react.

Because every type aspects are available around us. But it does not mean we follow all scenarios and implement in our life. Culture is art of living, it depends on you how do you make it better.
