*Western Influence on Young minds* . Write your opinion about this topic.
Answers
Technology has reduced the world to a global village. News, trends and opinions spread across the world very quickly. Thus, the influence of Western culture on young technology-friendly minds is unavoidable. This influence has both pros and cons.
The cons include moving away from Indian traditions and culture and adopting elements of the Western culture that clash with the Indian mindset. This refers to children not being obedient to parents or respectful towards elders in general, and leading very secluded self-centered lives. To some extent a child's choosing his/her own career path is also blamed on western influence.
The pros of Western influence include developing scientific thought, shunning superstition, understanding concepts like giving space and privacy to others. It also includes having greater awareness and the ability to to campaign against atrocities.
Therefore putting the pros and the cons together, it becomes clear that Western influence on young minds cannot be termed as absolutely good or absolutely bad. There needs to be a healthy balance between the two sides.
