Americanized

Regardless to the fact that it is American or non-American, but I do not believe that we have the alternative to replave these shows or movies with any other. For example, look at Arabic movies they are a disgrace! On the other hand, I believe that we do get affected by American shows, sometimes it shows us how in some parts of the world people react for certain things that they go through, and we did not understand before. For example, many women in our countries get abused by their husbands and are not able to do anything about it, however, in those shows and and movies we actually learn and see that in other parts of the world this is actually illegal and that is what we should work on in our countries. Moreover, usually in countries that are abusive to their people, they do not allow the freedom of media, and they do not even allow satellite TV in thier countries, and the reason for that is because media does shows us and teach us something. However, watching these American series and sitcoms, do have a negative affect as well, I mean watching alot of violence sometimes creates violence as well, but this effect is also present in America and not only in our countries, it is just the way the world goes. So, I can not say that watching these sitcoms is a negative thing, I believe that is more positive than it is negative and I am talking from a personal experience, and I believe that I have changed alot since I started watching these shows and movies. And, I believe if we had any proper Arabic movies or sitcoms so that it would keep our "traditions" then maybe we should talked at because of watching these shows, but until we do, I guess we re be Americanized.
