In recent years, with the increasing development of technology and globalization, our country further deepens international communication and cooperation. Therefore, foreign culture has a great influence on our indigenous culture. Nowadays, there is a hot trend for the youths to watch American TV dramas, which are enormously prevalent among teenagers and the youths. Regarding this phenomenon, various people maintain distinctive standpoints, and some people hold watching American TV dramas can facilitate and enhance their language feeling while others hold the opposite view. However, as for me, I uphold that the disadvantages of watching American TV dramas outweigh its benefits. I will numerate reasonable and solid evidences to substantiate my opinion.
To begin with, considering that most youngsters are keen on watching American TV dramas, it will consume too much time and energy so that it postpones people’s work and study. Then, some American TV dramas will have a pessimistic effect on the youngsters’ health of mind and body. The reasons are that they are in the age of puberty so that their mind is not mature and they are destitute of the capability of distinguishing clearly between right and wrong. Therefore, exposure to American TV dramas with violence, vulgar language will impact on their mind and body and behavior, which engenders the youth to form the bad habits. What’s more, one the one hand, some people will subconsciously imitate the plot to pursue stimulation so that they will do some aggressive behaviors to hurt others and themselves. On the other hand, suppose the youths would be wild about their favorite stars, they will blindly chase stars, even imitate their behaviors, which will bring heavy burdens to their family and affect their study. Last but not least, to some extent, watching American TV dramas will invade our traditional and marvelous culture and change the thoughts of the youths. Simultaneously, numerous American TV dramas are swarming into Chinese film and television market, which brings giant impact on Chinese film and television industry, and maybe they will be dominated and replaced by American TV dramas.
As mentioned above, I can definitely draw a reasonable conclusion that it is indisputable that watching American TV dramas is bad for the youths on account of those various drawbacks listed. Therefore, I disapprove of the youths’watching American TV dramas.。
