We are in an age of cultural cosmopolitanism where people belonging to one nation are continuously subjected to the cultural onslaught from those of other nations. Pakistan, these days, is a glaring example of cultural cosmopolitanism because of the absence of a common unifying cultural force that would compete with multicultural manifestations from other societies. And instead of developing our own cultural values, we have mostly practised Indian cultural values. Media should also highlight our healthy cultural values and latest trends instead of promoting the cultural patterns of others, particularly Bollywood. There is no harm though in absorbing healthy values of cultural cosmopolitanism.
