2-Minute Speech: The Impact of Foreign Web Series on Indian Youth and Culture
Today I would like to share a few thoughts on the impact of foreign web series on Indian youth and our culture.
With OTT platforms becoming popular, web series from countries like the United States, South Korea, Spain, and even Japan are now just a click away. Shows like Stranger Things, Money Heist, Friends, and Crash Landing on You have gained massive fan followings among Indian students like us.
One of the biggest benefits is that we get to experience different cultures, languages, and lifestyles. We learn new ways of thinking, improve our English, and even pick up interest in other languages like Korean or Spanish. It also helps us become more open-minded and globally aware.
But, we also need to be careful. Not all content is suitable for our age. Many foreign shows have scenes with violence, drug use, or relationships that may not match Indian cultural values. Watching such content without understanding the context can confuse young minds or create unrealistic expectations.
Also, constantly comparing our lives with what we see in foreign series can make us feel insecure or dissatisfied. It’s important to remember that those are fictional stories based on different societies.
So in conclusion, foreign web series can be fun and educational, but we must watch them with awareness and balance. Let’s enjoy global content while still being proud of our Indian values and identity.
