Globalization & Media: Advantages vs. Disadvantages

advertisement
Đề bài: Nowadays the differences between countries are becoming less evident
because people follow the same media. Do the advantage of this trend outweigh the
disadvantages.
With the current trend of globalization, the boundaries between countries are
becoming blurred as people around the world consume the same types of media.
Although there are some potential drawbacks to this development, I still believe that
the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. okay
There are many reasons why this trend is beneficial for society as a whole. Firstly, by
following global news, we can learn about social issues occurring in other countries
and apply solutions to our own situation by following the global news. For example,
many Vietnamese people, especially teenagers and young adults, have shown
interest in the recent U.S. presidential election. Many have reported becoming more
engaged with political issues in general. As a result, this year's election in Vietnam
has seen an increase in youth participation, with many discussions taking place on
online forums dài dòng quá. Secondly, more and more people are consuming the
same media, such as YouTube, which can be an opportunity for us to promote our
culture. For instance, an increasing number of international bloggers and food
reviewers are visiting Vietnam because they have watched videos and television
series showcasing Vietnamese cuisines on these global media platforms.
Consequently, the number of tourists coming to Vietnam has increased.
However, I must admit that there are some disadvantages to this trend. Firstly,
limiting one’s media consumption to outlets that feature news from around the
world can mean being ignorant about local news. For example, a small piece of local
information, like a recent robbery, can get lost amongst various news coming from
around the world. As a result, many can become insensitive to changes in the local
community. Secondly, one might lose one’s cultural identities if following global
media outlets carelessly. With the rising trend of the Korean entertainment
industries, many people in Vietnam are adapting to the Korean lifestyle, for example.
This overall is still a harmless trend, but in extreme cases, it has led to young adults
degrading their own cultural identities and chasing after foreign cultures????.
In conclusion, I understand that there are some disadvantages to this globalization
trend in media consumption. However, I think that the advantages brought by this
development far outweigh the disadvantages.
