Exposure to large doses of U.S. culture, such as that presented on MTV, can lead teens to adopt Western ideals and lifestyles, potentially diminishing their identification with their own cultural backgrounds. This cultural assimilation may create a desire for Western goods among teens in developing countries, fostering a sense of inadequacy when they cannot afford them. However, the impact varies widely based on individual circumstances, including local cultural resilience and socioeconomic factors. Ultimately, while some may gravitate toward Western culture, others might maintain a strong connection to their own identities.
