Since I have taken on a human form in its teenage years, i shall state what i observed of a teenager today.
From the video, it shows what I observed about the youths today.
They are under the influence of the global culture. They eat Macdonald, listen to their favourite music and dress in their so-called fashion which is westernized clothes. However, from what I observed they all look alike! It is unlike the youths in the past who were unique because they have a diversity of culture which makes everyone different.
Global culture to me is all about brands. Also, this so called global culture is actually mainly the western influence on the youths. Today youths are constantly after these brands from european countries and America. Macdonald, Gap, Starbucks all come from the westernized countries. This influence has brought about many critics because some people think that it is damaging the minds of the youths. They follow what they called trends. If every youth follows it, they will become identical to each other in terms of dressing, style and language!
I feel that the Earth is a great place to live in because everyone lives harmony with each other despite all the differences in everyone’s culture. However, by having this global culture, it may erase all the differences but in my personal opinion, people should learn to appreciate the differences and continue to live in harmony!
shiyan :)
this is the end of my observations of this world!
