article on blind aping of western culture
Answers
Answer:
Nowadays times have changed since people have smartphones in their hands, internet available at all times, technological advancements making their way and globalization spreading all around.
There are developing countries which get attracted to the global rising trends. For instance, countries like India and Pakistan get attracted to the Western culture.
There is a blind aping of western culture going on in our societies. From the clothes we wear, to the fast food we eat, to the English language we speak. Everyone imitates the Western culture. Even our accent is changing. Our architecture is changing and even our music. At first Bollywood aimed at making culture and patriotism reflect but now its changed after looking at the standards of Hollywood.
Culture gives us identity as people. What we are as a nation is truly portrayed through culture. Culture means heritage, nationality, history, language, beliefs. It’s a mirror of society we live in.
As the Europeans invaded and colonized many countries, these countries were highly influenced by the western culture. Many eastern countries find it prestigious to copy the western culture blindly.
Right from clothes, eating habits, mannerisms, language, thinking process everything is getting altered according to the western culture. ‘Working women’ started getting more status than women living at home after world war II. Packaged food, alcohol has entered in our day to day life.
Westernization is getting more and more acclamation and it is affecting our relationship as well. Divorce has become very common.
There are many good eating habits, clothing styles, relationship goals in eastern culture which are far better than the western culture.
So, it is always advisable not to follow western culture blindly but to have a balance of both the cultures.
