    Western culture has had a significant impact on young people in Bangladesh. A survey of 25 university students found that most have adopted aspects of Western culture like dress, media, family structure, education, and technology. While Westernization has benefits, it can also have negative effects if not properly understood and integrated. To build a strong society, the young generation must be educated about traditional Bangladeshi cultural values as well as Western influences. Unchecked spread of Western culture through media is a growing concern.

    HYPOTHESIS

    THE HYPOTHESIS OF MY PAPER IS WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT


    WESTERNIZATION. THAT IS WE ARE GETTING MORE HARMED BY ADOPTION
    OF WESTERNIZATION THAN THE BENEFITS.
    IT IS SIMPLY BECAUSE THAT OUR YOUTH, WHO ARE THE PILLARS TO BUILD A
    SOCIETY ARE HANDLING WESTERNIZATION IN A WRONG WAY.

    FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS

    EVENTUALLY, IT CAN BE CONCLUDED THAT, THIS RESEARCH HAS FOUND A


    LOT OF SIGNIFICANT ISSUES THAT IS WESTERN CULTURE IS NOT A CURSE TO
    OUR SOCIETY BUT IT CAN BRING A LOT OF NEGATIVE EFFECTS.
    WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THE YOUNG GENERATION IS THE FUTURE
    IMAGE OF OUR COUNTRY. SO, IT IS NECESSARY TO ENLIGHTEN THEM ABOUT
    OUR OWN CULTURAL VALUES WHICH WILL MAKE OUR NATION PROUD.
    CULTURAL DOMINATION BY ELECTRONIC MEDIA WITHIN THE SOCIETY HAS
    EVENTUALLY BECOME A MAJOR CONCERN OF SOCIOLOGICAL INQUIRY.
