CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
This
study is based on the
influence of western
television programmes on
the cultural values Of Nigerian
youths
using Caritas University Students as a study. The term culture has been
defined differently by different people. The different definitions attached to
culture are based on the differences in the orientation of the people.
According
to Ekeh (1989), culture is the construct used in an attempt to analyze and
integrate events and ideas in broad spectrum of areas of society. Jekayinka
(2002), states that from wider perspective, culture includes the total
repertoire of human action which are socially transmitted from generation to
generation. Obiora (2002), says the transformation of culture is gradual and
not sudden. He (2002), contends that culture is a continuous process of change.
It changes exactly the same way as the human being change. It is dynamic,
learned, acquired and
transmitted or diffused through contact or means of communication flow from
generation to another. The Nigerian
culture is observed to be fading out as a result of the acceptance and
adaptation of the modernist’s solution on to underdevelopment. One of such
theories which relates to this subtle method of assault international
communication is given by Lerner (1956).
In his
concept of “empathy”, Lerner states that the inhabitants of third world nations
must learn to empathize with the West
for modern transformation of their societies to be possible. Schramm (1964), on
the other hand, developed an interesting model in which he equates the level of
social development of communication to various nations. Access to these modern
mass media (Radio, Television, films, telephone, and newspapers) is linked to
individual modernity.
The
television programmes
include:
1.
Depiction of sex
2.
Violence
3. Drug
and Alcohol used
a.
Vulgar Language – behaviours. Etc. that most
parents do not want their children to imitate.
Studies
have been found by early adolescence that the average Nigerian children have watched thousands of dramatized
murders and countless other acts of violence on television (www.encarta.com).
For many years, psychologists have debated the question of whether watching
violence on Tv have detrimental effects on children. A number of experiments
both inside and outside the laboratory have found evidence that viewing Tv
violence is relayed to increased aggression in children.
Nigerians as exemplified by trends in Enugu Metropolis
where Western exports of television
entertainment, information are shown in NTA Enugu, ESBS Television, Minaj
Channel, Cartoon Network, ESPN –“Expanded Sports programmes Network” channel
provided by various satellite transmission
operators as DSTV, Multi – Choice, Music television, Euro – sports, etc,
have raised Nigerians eyebrows to such Western
television programs. Thereby, making uss to behave like them, associate with
them and even speaks like them. Even our generation that is shown on NTA Enugu
and the youth perspective on ESBS are presented by youth and replete with music
video of Western
origin dominated by rape stars as (Late) Tupac,
