The vast majority of people tend to be obsessed with TV shows, dramas and movies created in foreign countries. This leads to the quetion of why these
contents attract many individuals and how they influence audiences.
A first reason for regular broadcasting of foreign contents is due to their popularity. For example, in the hollywood movies, well-known celebrities who have millions of followers on social media apps often appear on them. As a result, combined with their fascinating plots, foreign contents have more potential power to gather attention than domestic contents. A further cause is that TV companies can save a lot of money to create these contents. For example, in order to make sophisticated SF movies like Intersteller, which uses the latest VFX technology, film makers have to invest a vast amount of money. However, it can be a financial burden to make such a film in most of developing nations; therefore these nations tend to choose not to make but broadcast them.
As a result of aforementioned causes, there are various positive and negative effects. As for positive aspects, one notable advantages would be providing opportunities to hear foreign languages. For instance, for most countries, English is not the mother tonque and watching hollywood’s dramas and films can be a perfect chance to improve their English skills. However, there are serious drawbacks too, one of which is misunderstanding of foreign cultures. Many creaters exaggreate unique cultures to make their content more interesting, while unfortunately creating prejudice and even discrimination.
To conclude, foreign videos are shown due to their popularity and financial needs causing both positive and negative influences.
