FOREIGN CULTURES A BIG THREAT TO OUR CULTURES!

Is there a solution? As Africa continent keeps on developing there are different negative and positive effects to its youths. Globallization intruduces us to different cultures, with little knowledge among the people the African youths are now exposed too much to foreign cultures expecially the west than their are own culture. The results are seen all over Africa, in towns, in the cities, everywhere. Its time that we should stop being quiet about it, ignoring pretending we dont see.
There are positive and negative impacts! But mostly negative,. I want you my reader to give your comment, lets share, give steps in which our governments and communities have to do so as to reduce the negative effects that faces our youths as a result of foreign cultures!

Mhh, not really.
We are to blame ourselves on everything. You need to understand that, we as humans tend to blame somebody on what is seen as 100% of our problem.
You cant' blame somebody if it was only you and you -yourself who choose to copy them.
This notion of a blaming game will never end and a good example is how we blame the old generation of not letting things go, or the way the rural people will keep blaming the urban citizens for being out of touch with them.
So its all the same-no one to blame.

You are right dogo,these foreign cultures is a major threat to our african Culture,But Our own African leaders does not seem to help s on this as themselves are the front line to Jump to foreign things whenever they can,from the way they dress,u will hardly see any Africans leaders in a proper Africans dressing code,they are always in suit,they all want to look like " Prince Charles of England and George Bush"
Even when they speak,they hardly use fluent Kiswahili,they always mix with English even when they talk to the normal Tanzanins peoples ,is very sad situation,It does not get lower than this.
This is what I call "kutekwa kiaakili".
I do not think We can blame any one but ourselves for beign so shallow minded peoples.
I have big respect for Masai peoples for maintaining and preserving their identity and culture.

You have great ideas, but try not to write long sentences and take care of your grammar, spelling and past tenses. You know what? many people they gonna read your stuff worldwide, especially those English is their mother tongue they would not understand what you try to say.

Who should be blamed for the economical backward of African countries?

Do u real think we will escape GLOBAL WARMING?
