HOLLYWOOD’S INFLUENCE ON PEOPLE TODAY

WHO AM

I?

IDENTITY CRISIS

Humans adopt a certain behavior because it creates a relationship to the people to whom we are identifying with - ELLIOT ARONSON

Hollywood big films can be very famous across the globe. This fame managed to influence

people to act in a certain behavior that will be considered ‘cool’. What celebrities do or

wear these days can easily trend and influence people especially youth. The

feeling of wanting to be accepted in the society leads them into following the

footsteps of celebrities

MORALVALUE

“Hollywood is the definition of sexual discrimination.” -Ally Sheddy

ALLY SHEDDY

MoralHollywood films glorify sex and violence, attacking the moral values of all societies and leading their young astray.

POLITICAL VIEW

“Hollywood promotes a biased and peculiarly American view of the world”

- R. Huntington

Hollywood portrays a simplistic good vs. evil view of international conflicts, in which stereotyped and

negative images of Muslims, Russians, etc.

AMERICAN CULTURE

“The average Hollywood film star's ambition is to be admired by an American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a French boyfriend”

- KATHARINE HEPBURN

Hollywood imposes American entertainment and its language on

the world, at the expense of indigenous cultures and languages,

and of domestic film industries. Globalization of entertainment threatens to result in a bland, American-flavoured uniformity.

WHAT DO I THINK OF HOLLYWOOD

HOLLYWOOD DEFINITELY HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE WAY OF

INFLUENCING PEOPLE. BUT NOT ALL OF IT IS NEGATIVE. AT THE

END OF THE DAY, IT IS UP TO US TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE

GOOD AND BAD VALUES
