8. HOLLYWOOD’S
INFLUENCE ON PEOPLE TODAY

9. IDENTITY
CRISIS

10. Humans adopt a certain behavior because it
creates a relationship to the people to whom
we are identifying with
- ELLIOT ARONSON

11. Hollywood big films can be very famous across
the globe. This fame managed to influence
people to act in a certain behavior that will
be considered ‘cool’. What celebrities do or
wear these days can easily trend and
influence people especially youth. The
feeling of wanting to be accepted in the
society leads them into following the
footsteps of celebrities

12. MORAL
VALUE

13. “Hollywood is the definition of
sexual discrimination.”

attacking the moral values of all societies
and leading their young astray.

15. POLITICAL
VIEW

peculiarly American view of the world”
- R. Huntington

view of international conflicts, in which
stereotyped and negative images of Muslims,
Russians, etc.

18. AMERICAN
CULTURE

19. “The average Hollywood film star's ambition is to
be admired by an American, courted by an
Italian, married to an Englishman and have a
French boyfriend”
- KATHARINE HEPBURN

20. Hollywood imposes American
entertainment and its language on the
world, at the expense of indigenous
cultures and languages, and of domestic
film industries. Globalization of
entertainment threatens to result in a
bland, American-flavoured uniformity.

21. WHAT DO I THINK OF
HOLLYWOOD
HOLLYWOOD DEFINITELY HAS ITS OWN
UNIQUE WAY OF INFLUENCING PEOPLE.
BUT NOT ALL OF IT IS NEGATIVE. AT
THE END OF THE DAY, IT IS UP TO US
TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE
GOOD AND BAD VALUES
