Advertising and the mass media

Having the power to deliver information to large audiences at the same time, the mass media have naturally become ideal tools for advertising. This huge industry has reached and dominated almost all types of the mass media. Advertisements are everywhere, from broadcast media (the radio, television and films), Internet media (email, websites and blogs), print media (newspapers, magazines, books and comics), outdoor media (billboards, signs and placards) to digital media, which include Internet and mobile devices.

Advertising is beneficial to the mass media too. Companies and businesses are willing to spend millions, even billions of dollars, to influence customers' attitudes towards their ideas, services and products. Their advanced advertising methods and techniques are successful in persuading customers of all ages and genders, and turning luxuries into necessities. Because of the easy access to all forms of the media, information  can reach every corner of the world instantly and cost-effectively. In addition, all media channels m. receive huge sums of money from advertisers, which allows them to make better and more interesting programmes and services for a large number of people worldwide.

Audio script

Now, I'd like to give you some advice on how to maintain your cultural identity in a new culture.

Well, first of all, I recommend that you keep in touch with people you know back home. Staying connected with your far . and friends helps you to feel part of your native culture. If you have children, you should let them talk regularly to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents too. Today, modern technology like the Internet and instant messaging has made long-distance communication faster and more convenient than ever before.

Secondly, it's a good idea that you try to cook traditional food frequently. The taste and smell of your favourite dishes from your home country can bring back good memories from your childhood or the past. You should also remember to make mealtimes special and important occasions. If you're a parent, you can involve your children in cooking. They may find the cuisine of your country of origin fascinating. Shopping for traditional food, cooking and sharing recipes can also help to connect the different generations.

There is no doubt that the world today has become one global village. Differences between cultures are becoming less evident. People worldwide watch the same TV channels and films, listen to the same music, eat the same food and follow the same fashion trends. That is why, in a globalised world, it is essential that people maintain their cultural identity.

The development of a strong cultural identity is essential to people's sense of belonging. It helps to define an ethnic group or community that shares unique and distinctive features. Cultural identity is also important as it connects people, reminds them of their shared history and strengthens the solidarity between them. The power of cultural identity can encourage and motivate people to unite against a common danger. A strong sense of cultural identity can also nurture their love and respect for their country, community and heritage.

However, in a globalised world cultural diversity is gradually disappearing. In an environment where everyone speaks only English and wears almost the same clothes, an individual's cultural identity is at risk of dying out. Maintaining cultural identity is vital for preserving the different languages, festivals, types of traditional music, dance and food, beliefs and other activities that make the world a fascinating place to live.

Globalisation is inevitable; however, it is essential for people to maintain their cultural identity. Preserving cultural identity can guarantee the prosperity of a country or community, and the world's cultural diversity.
