Developing countries should not lose their roots

Often times developing countries try to emulate the developed world, especially America. We can see how American pop culture has spread to every corner of the world because of this, with mostly a negative impact.

However, the underdeveloped world should recognize that they have something much more precious than the popularity and glamour of the American Hollywood life. That is the traditional values and principles that make up strong families and communities in their respective countries. These values and principles should not be forsaken in lieu of the popularity of Westernization.

Luckily, many developing nations are beginning to realize this truth after the recent American economic downturn and seeing the negative effects of westernization on families and societies.
