In recent years, it can be seen that the boundaries between some countries have become less noticeable on social media, where people now watch the same movies, follow similar fashion trends or advertisements. While this trend has some benefits, this essay argues that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages for the reason of global connection and cultural identity,
One the benefit should be mentioned that globalization can help people connect together. When people watch same the TV shows, films or common topics which can improve not only understanding but also international communication. In addition, individuals can enjoy high- quality products from many countries or access modern lifestyles of where they live. For example, international brand or businesses can add more choices for consumers in around the world.
On the other hand, this trend has several negative effects. The serious problem is the lack of traditional cultural. When local clothing, cultural can be replaced by foreign ones, which values may disappear in the near future. This issue affect not only local economy but also national identity of a country, which can negatively impact young people’s thinking in the future. For instance, many young people in Vietnam prefer listening Western music to traditional styles in their own countries.
In conclusion, the impact of global media can create better communication, but it is also threaten diversity and local industries.
