Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The global influence of foreign films, especially Hollywood productions, has led to significant cultural shifts in many parts of the world, including Nigeria. In regions like Zing Local Government Area of Taraba State, where traditional values are deeply held, the increasing consumption of foreign films may be influencing the adoption of Western cultural norms and practices. The portrayal of Western lifestyles, fashion, relationships, and values in foreign films can impact the younger generation’s attitudes and behaviors (Aminu & Yakubu, 2023).
This study seeks to investigate the extent to which foreign films are shaping the adoption of Western culture in Zing Local Government Area, focusing on the social and cultural changes among the youth.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the popularity of foreign films in Nigeria, their influence on local cultures and values, particularly in rural areas like Zing, remains an under-researched area. This study will examine how the consumption of foreign films is affecting the cultural identity of Zing’s youth and whether it leads to the adoption of Western values at the expense of traditional practices (Ibrahim & Usman, 2023).
