Television shows have a big impact on how people see themselves as part of a nation. But in today's global world, this can cause a few problems:

1. Cultural Uniformity

   • Big streaming services are taking over what people watch. They focus on stories that everyone can relate to, rather than local traditions.
   • This means: Local stories and cultures can get pushed aside or mixed up.

2. Stereotypes and Misunderstandings

   • Some TV shows keep telling the same old stereotypes, which gives a twisted picture of a nation’s identity.
   • This means: Real and true stories get lost, leading to a wrong idea about different countries.

3. Focus on Money, Not Real Culture

   • A lot of the time, TV aims to make money rather than celebrate real cultures. They prefer shows that will sell well.
   • This means: Real parts of a nation’s identity can become just products for sale.

To tackle these problems, we can try a few solutions:

• Support Local Shows
  We should encourage governments and organizations to back local TV shows that tell true cultural stories.

• Variety in Global Platforms
  We should push for a mix of shows on big platforms that highlight different voices and traditions. It’s important to find a balance between global interests and local truths.

• Awareness for Viewers
  We should help people learn how to think critically about what they watch. This way, they will start to recognize and appreciate local cultural stories more.
