And about the young girls.what this pop culture does to them is that it keeps telling them to show their bodies rather that being modest.The 'scantily clad women' as you put them are todays superstars.The boys might like them but what is even more dangerous is that the girls want to be like them.And when people return to islam,all this will be put to an end inshallah.

[aleem911]

I believe that the true enemy is not the culture of any foriegn country.But rather a 'culture' created by materialism and godlessness,which happens to be the most vividly marketed and followed.Therefore i believe the most effective solution would be to try to make people remember the true purpose of their lives,which is to submitt to god and do righteous deeds rather than just chasing money.And this is what i would call calling them to islam.

In India, do you think the answer lies in educating Indian youth about advertising's potential to destroy a "native" Indian culture? Do you think this might lead to other problems (those associated with simplistic notions of national/ethnic identity)? I think it would be more effective to teach young people how to negotiate a popular culture that seeks to commercially exploit them. A final question: Do you think there are any benefits to be had from exposure to pop culture?

[odh202]

I don't like the way the entertainment and advertising industries treat youth either. But I think you are discounting the the power of youth to resist this sort of commercial manipulation, which might undercut your credibility if your message is targeted at Indian youth. For instance, you never speak of young women as having the power of independent thinking.  The scantily clad women you see in advertising and pop culture isn't being sold to women - its being sold to men.
