Ielts Essay - Nowadays people from different countries watch and enjoy the same films

People, all across the world, today are believed to be having similar tastes in many walks of life, especially in the realms of entertainment and clothing,  even though it is for sure, this phenomenon has its own strengths and failings.

It is quite true that inhabitants of various countries at large, across the length and the breadth of the globe, have developed similar tastes. They are influenced by global trends due to the advent of ever expanding internet and social media. These factors have fuelled a strange trend -individuals are getting a wide exposure, due to open and convenient interaction, and they are often found discussing various things amongst themselves which ultimately has helped develop similar tastes.

This phenomenon has brought in great benefits, as people now behave like inhabitants of a global village. One can experience a sweet bonhomie among the natives of various cultures, societies and countries. This is a quite positive development as it indicates fostering similar views and aspirations which may lead to creation of harmony among the citizens of planet some day and bring in an end to a constant tussle and conflicts.

Nevertheless, whatever may be the case, there are serious shortfalls of this shift, as we may see many cultures and languages, especially of the poor countries disappearing soon. It can be clearly experienced that similar aspirations are being supported and promoted by dominant   cultures and languages of specific nations; this has led others to believe that they belong to inferior societies, and thus people, especially the  youth, are not interested in perpetuating their native cultures further.

Henceforth, people across the world have started developing similar tastes, but despite having several benefits this trend does have serious shortfalls, and we might see the fallout of such aspects pretty soon.
