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
Some people think that whether movies and TV shows should be produced locally or imported from another countries to be better for a country’s culture. While many people suppose that movies and TV programmes ought to be made domestically only, I would argue that it is better to import international TV programs.On the one hand, there are some reasons why national films and shows are beneficial for their own cultures. The first reason would be local TV shows create an huge opportunity to educate residents about their culture and history. As a result, patriotism and national pride will be promoted and expanded for all local people to know and they will appreciate their traditions and their ways of life more. Furthermore, such entertainment relates to the culture and language of the audience. For example, in Viet Nam, the adaptation of the show The Voice, which consits of Vietnamese famous artists who are the coaches for young talents, always brings enjoyment to millions of viewers throughout the country.
On the other hand, I believe that the importation of TV entertainment from foreign countries is advantageous to some extent. Firstly, people can broaden their own knowledge about different cultures through watching some kinds of TV shows. For instance, the American film “Titanic” is not only a disaster movie, but also gives an idea about the history of emigration from Europe to the USA. Secondly, many foreign programs offer countless opportunity for residents to learn languages through listen to foreigners or read the scripts, such as the US TV series “Like”.
In conclusion, although both imported , and local films and shows are good for a country’s culture, it seems to me that buying other countries entertainment programs is much better.
