passage 3
P1
Specialists in international communications almost unanimously assert that the broadcasting in developing nations of television programs produced by industrialized countries amounts to cultural imperialism: the phenomenon of one culture's productions overwhelming another's, to the detriment of the flourishing of the latter. ███
Other perspective ·
Showing TV programs from industrialized countries to developing nations is cultural imperialism
Assumption of other perspective ·
Imported TV shows always dominate over domestic ones, and are always harmful to domestic culture
Author's critique ·
Other perspective is based on little or no research
Concession and clarification ·
Dominance is a risk, but assumption that imported always dominates is unsupported or anti-supported
Support for author ·
Imported programs rarely harm domestic ones, and aren't always more popular

Author's perspective ·
Role of TV in developing nations is different from what others think
One study of viewing habits showed popularity of certain domestic productions.

Recommendation ·
Need to use approach of anthropologist to study impact of external cultural influences
First question to examine ·
What's best model for relationship between imported and domestic productions?
It's not dominance. Could it be that domestic absorbs imported? Or that domestic and imported fuse only under certain conditions?
