Effect Of Western Culture On Indian Youth

  • How there is head and tail for a coin, there is both positive and negative impact of western culture on India and especially on Indian youth,

    In past in India men were our traditional dresses, but now it is entirely changed, now the Indian youth moving with jeans, t-shirts, minis, etc., here we can proud of that western culture, it bringing us with the fast moving world.

    But when we consider the pubs, it is the thing to be strictly punished. In pubs both men and women are in drastic stage, by taking drugs, it should be punished. And we need to felt sorry for that.

    And there r many things to be taken from the western culture.

  • THERE HAS BEEN AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF EFFECT OF WESTERN CULTURE ON US. IT CAN BE EASILY FELT BY THE FOOD, ATTIRE AND WAY OF LIVING OF CITIZENS.SPECIALLY ON DRESSES IT HAS MADE ADVERSE EFFECTS. SO IT IS NOT GOOD FOR OUR CULTURE.OUR YOUNG GIRLS ARE WEARING SKIRTS, MICROS, AND MINIS ETC. WHICH EXCITES THE BOYS LEADING TO SOME SERIOUS CRIMES SUCH AS RAPE ETC. BUT ON THE FLIPPER SIDE THE WAYS OF LIVING HAS BEEN GREATLY ENHANCED WHICH IS GOOD FOR SUCCESS AND GROWTH OF THE COUNTRY AND HELPFUL FOR IT IN HEADING TOWARDS SUPER POWER AHEAD OF USA. SO I FEEL THAT IT HAS BOTH GOOD AND BAD EFFECTS
I Strongly believe that there is a substantial influence of western culture on Indian youths. Mere mention of the word 'India' signifies a place of cultural heritage as well as diversity. But the cultural legacy that we are showing to the whole world is becoming a thing








































of history in metropolitan cities.

  • Hello

    Effect Of Western Culture On Indian Youth

    Well World is changing, because of lot of developments in various sectors like IT, MANUFACTURING, Revolution of E COMMERCE and many more ... have brought the ties between various nations/ people and their cultures to get mixed with each other. WELL I WOULD TAKE A BIASED OPINION IN THIS.

    Lets take example of USA. Well Indians are crazy of adopting Western Culture LIKE DRESS CODE, MUSIC, HABITS, IMPORTING FOREIGN GOODS. What not we feel so attracted to all those. But by adopting we dint loose our traditions and culture; we tend to blend both of them.

    It all depends on person likes and dislikes, how he /she will behave according to situations. As our friend PAVANI has mentioned like PUBS are to be strictly banned. Well that cant is possible realistically. If an individual decides what is good/bad for them every person can be in control ...rite

    I finally stress points like No matter people adopt what ever the culture ... They shud be in the limits and act rationally according to the situations. We jus cant stop/Ban things by considering it to be western /eastern. We need to analyze what benefits we get and try to choose.options. Since what all we want is PROGRESS/DEVELOPMENT ultimately to our nation. So IT’S EVERY PERSONS RESPONSIBILY TO CONTRIBUTE HIS/HER PART TO IT.

  • There is great impact of foreign culture on youth

    We Indians have changed a lot in all aspects such as food, clothing, education etc. The foreign culture has influenced us to a great extent that today we especially youth give first importance to all foreign goods like T.V, cars, dresses, food any many things. We are not able to realize the simple fact that self-respect comes with self-reliance.

    But why this impact of foreign culture doesn’t show up when it comes to certain aspects like keeping the surroundings clean. We all know that in US people will be fined if they throw unnecessary garbage on roads. We respect their rules and regulations when we are in US. But more then 90% for us doesn’t care about cleanliness when it comes to Indian roads.

    That clearly indicates we are not giving that much respect to our country as we respect others.

    Another important thing is "IS their any country were dowry system is there?”. Why shouldn't that be implemented here also? Daily we read at least one news on "harassments for the sake of dowry" And people are even killing them for the sake of money. The so-called foreign cultures will never influence us in such aspects.

    I feel there are many advantages if we grasp the good instead of bad from them. As our friends said it merely depends on our hands and especially on our youth.

A very good evening to all here

In my opinion western culture has changed the face of Indian youth in the recent years. Today’s is a world of globalization and frequent change and the top among then being Indian youth as youth are always lingering with that emery and attitude they r most viable species to change and western culture have effected them in most of ways...it has changed their way of speaking, their mentality towards life, their general outlook, their personality and even petty issues like their way of dressing up and all.and to the mosst the change is of the western level. Sometimes acceptable and sometimes not acceptable in Indian society but most of the times not...it all depends...they have grown more free, family seems like a tie to one...they want to be independent want to have a life of their own where they are the masters, they ant to change the world at a stench...which is something not possible and India which has been stagnant has taken these changes as something against it's rich culture. Somewhere it's true...we are earth people. And may not be able to breathe properly in air for long. So we need to be attached to our roots...and these roots have started losing it’s grip. Today...so as I said somewhere its rgt somewhere wrong.... so its not like that western is all about bad they are better then us...and of course this is where the difference btw developing and developed country exists.so if we want to follow then we must follow them about their goods...their way of working, their professionalism, their fgt towards cleanliness.... this is something worth learning from them. And it will further help us to improve in our own way...so copying the bad things of west will lead us nowhere...today's youth is running after west. Is likely to break all the ties at once but he doesn’t knew...the rich culture our country holds.... we are having lots a good things...so we don’t need running after anyone the only thing is...........the only thing we need is to improve in certain way. And our youth has the capability to do that. The need is to channels their energy in right direction...coz they are imp 2 our country n we need them. As citizens....

  • Yah, the effect of western culture has changed Indian youth a lot. It has its own positive & negative side. To live in this completive world we have to make our self compatible to adopt the changing life style if it seems to be very comfortable.

    The effect of Western culture in Indian youth can be seen in most of the actives as dressing, food habits, the way of moving with others and even western dance has gained its popularity among Indian youth.

    We people usually underestimate our country and overestimate foreign countries. Usually we prefer to buy foreign products from perfume to car bcos we think those products were more quality than ours. There is something to learn from the foreigners as keeping the environment clean & not to throw the waste on the roadside. But we Indians follow these rules & regulations in their country but forget to implement in our country.

    And in this mechanical world we r slowly forgetting our traditional culture which may not be known to our future generation.

    So, it is in the hand of Indian youth to suck only the needed things from the western culture and leave the waste that is not needed

Should the public sector be privatized?


Yes of course privatization of public sectors leads to some healthy changes in an org. b's when you take public sectors u can find some slackness (or a little bit) delay in their services. But in case of private since service is there first and foremost duty they act rapidly.

Privatization of public sector. Lot depends of which sector we are talking about. Let me clarify few doubts in the primary stage. Can we expect all private hospitals in our cities in our town which do not have an entry for poor people, can we have only private sector telephone companies, can we have private companies have complete control on oil reserves, can we have all transport be provided by private sector and RTC vanishes, can we expect an private sector to take care of our defense. In the same way we cant expect the government to set up an IT industry on its own, we cant expect them to handle all the load of flight transport. My point over here is both are not mutually exclusive. We need to accept the fact that both are here to stay and we cannot make it without one. They do have their importance and we need to deal this issue according to the context.

There are some strategic sectors, which need to be under control of Indian government like oil/gas sector. The subsidy we enjoy will be never provided by a private sector. The government in this case helps its citizens to a great extent and making them available to its citizens. The ration card system is a great boon to the poor. Coming to some sectors like steel and mobile where both are present and a healthy competition among them always benefits the customers. It is also a point to be noted that Government itself cannot take th
e complete load just like it cant take the load of all flight customers where private sector is playing its helping role. Then there is education sector, which also has good competition with CBSE matching with any education system of either state syllabus or the schools coming up with their own syllabus. The public transport sector too is a mix of public and private and here you can see a striking difference. You can easily differentiate the profit motive of private personal whose salaries depend on the profit to their owner. In autos you can see some 6-8 people are dumped then starts the engine. I do accept that some services are best in private sector as they fear their job loss and their owners do get the best out of them by making them to work more no. Of hours.

The lazy mindset of some public sector could be taken into account to convert it to a private sector. I would like to suggest that counseling sessions for these to have a better future by working for the organization would help it to grow better and be under the public sector umbrella. We can take some examples by some of our previous strategies, which helped us to renovate dull companies, which lacked in performance. If a private individual is going to buy the company and could change its fortunes, why can't the public government do it? It can. Running away from a trouble is not a solution. Facing it head-on will produce better results.

I totally agree with Mr.ssrkraju.... As he said it depends on which sector we are talking about. And both have a different importance of their own. Privatization has its own proms and public sector have their own. I think both needs to be there as far today’s development is concerned.

Taking the view it is right that the work at public sectors is not working the way it should. But if everyone understands the responsibilities then it can also work the same way as private sectors. Again I think for some sectors it is ok otherwise it should be done by the respected ones itself...


WELL SIR,YOUR COMMENT ON PRIVATE AS WELL AS ON PUBLIC SECTER IS GOOD ENOUGH BUT IT WILL BE MORE BENEFICIAL IF U ADD SOME DATA MATERIALS.I AM FULLY AGREE WITH UR POINT THAT BEFORE TALKING ABOUT PRIVATIZATION THE VERY FIRST THING WE SHOULD DISCUSS IS THE SECTORS WE ARE GOING TO DEAL WITH.AS OFFCOURSE ALL THE SECTORS CAN'T BE PRIVATIZED AS IT WOULDN'T BE A SAFE DEAL.

  • hi Privtation.....its sound very attractive.bt in India if you privtatise thn you hv to make all ppl employed with good salary.Bt inIndia its tk time or nt going to b hapn.if all public sector b privatise thn autimatically theafting,murder corpuction e.t.c will increase. n i dont thnk ppl want this.
  • Hii, everyone, as my friend ssrkraju has said can v have private telecom companies n all n all, i would like to inform u Relience is private company recently Mr. Mukesh Ambani has established a petrochemical plant which is the second largest plant in the world.......n nt dat much only he also steped into a vegetable market....u must b aware wid the fact n figures how the price of petrol is increasing under goverment but Relience petrol pumps are providing petrols on much cheaper rate......Mukesh has said when he wz there in Bang. on opening of vegetable mall there he said...vegetable rates r Fluctuating now a days bt it will not make any difference to this mall...here price will be same in all the situations.... now my point is nowa days private companies r providing much more facilities as compared to govermental
  • i am fully agree with Mr. tehzeeb, there should be privatization in public sector,if we talk about the current scenario all the private companies count the value of money and time,while in public sector people are lazy(but they have good knowledge),they dont want to utilize the time and money. only privatization can change there mindset if we talk about the poor people,there are lots of hospitals and social organizations which provide help to these people In crux privatization is the best way for countries growth
  • Well friends, I think that selected public sectors should be privatized. The major sectors like railways, oil& natural gas, mining etc. should be kept public. This is because these sectors belong equally to all citizen of India,because they use the natural resources of India, over which every citizen has equal right. Private sectors are primarily driven by profit motive. They may not think of public welfare. Second thing is that , if all the public sectors are privatized , then we must see that market forces keep the price affordable.We must also ensure that monopoly doesn't occur. Finally, I think that from economically well settled citizen's point of view,privatization should take place. Because he may get better services. But seeing from poor citizen's point of view, he has public sector services as last ray of hope(e.g. hospitals, education,ration, etc.) Majority of indian population(30-40%) belongs to below poverty line.So, in that way, I think that at present time, not all public sectors should be privatized.

well i think privitazation is definetly gonna help us in boomin up with the salary system n will improve the standars of living . but we should not forget dat publc sectors are unavoidable .. as one of the person has stated a very valid point about ration card systems. private sectors have a competing tendency n dey move along wid the flow whr as the publis sector is more concerned bopt the nation in whole n has to luk after the very need of all the category of ppl..
it is good why because we know importance of privatisation through last 5 years development privatization will give effective production then we can get more revenue then automatically the share share of the organization will grow you take simple example government hospital and private hospitals in india the peoples are observe a lot of difference so friend i would like to conclude that privatization of governemtn organization is important

MBAs should be taxed at higher rates in the country (IIMB)

For:
* Understandably so in the areas of income and wealth taxes , given their propensity to earn higher through these routes.
Against:
* Taxation is a policy and policies are decided for the masses at large. In order to avoid any discrepancy and bias rates are fixed on income and not on the basis of profession.
* MBAs and other such professional people are taxed "professional tax". So charging them again a higher rate is not required.

Youth in India are becoming greedy by the day (MICA)

For:
* Want to earn a fast buck
* Want to imitate the successful young achievers
Against:
* Ambition is being misunderstood for greediness.

Men resent women power at work place (NMIMS)

For:
* Hard to shake off the age old male ego
* Men find it hard to obey women bosses
* Doubt whether women can make good managers
Against
* It is women who avoid power and responsibility at work

Do you think accent holds you back? Would you prefer everyone speaking uniformly?

For
* Communication between people of different languages will be faster and easier.
* No politicization of language base issues.
Against
* With different languages in India, it is difficult to have same accent.
* It is a personal issue, everybody has a right to speak his mother tongue.
* Hindi and English are serving as the bridge for the variety of languages we have and there is no need to force a common language.

With IT replacing middle level management, soft-ware jobs are more lucrative than MBAs (S.P Jain)

IT is not replacing middle level management, but it is replacing the in-efficiency in an organization. It also results in transparency and provides information on time as and when required. One can't compare the two stated above, its like comparing apples to oranges.
