Western culture ideologies are spreading throughout the world and are having major impacts on Asian nations. People who are in their early teens and also people in age category of 20-35 are highly influenced by the media.
Media is determining the lifestyle and way of thinking of people in every aspect of person life whether it is culture, fashion, religion, education, thinking etc. One major impact of western world which can be noticed in our nation is language. English language has to greater extent has replaced the use of our national language. The reason for such a spread is the transformation in our education system which is promoting western education system such as much more importance is given to O/A level education system then our national board. Another aspect of westernization in Pakistan is in fashion industry. Even though our national wear is shalwar Kameez but hardly people are seen in national wear except for the Independence Day.
Moreover impact of western culture can also be notice in change in religious values. The youngster population of Pakistan is highly mesmerized by the western way of life and has forgotten the religious way of life which was once the ideology of Pakistan. Although Pakistani culture is still rule by Islamic values to greater extent but the westernization on religious values cannot go unnoticed. However Westernization has help to bring better human rights particularly gender equality in Pakistan. Also it has help in spread of awareness about healthy lifestyles in the nation.
