These films often depict cultural values, lifestyles, and social behaviors different from those traditionally practiced in Nigerian society. This study examines the impact of foreign films on youth social behaviour in Lagos State, Nigeria, focusing on how exposure to foreign media content influences attitudes, social interactions, and lifestyle choices among young people. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. A structured questionnaire was administered to a sample of youths aged 15–35 years in selected local government areas of Lagos State. Data collected were analyzed using frequency tables and percentages, and the study was anchored on the Social Learning Theory, which posits that individuals learn behaviors by observing and imitating models from their environment, including media content. Findings from the study revealed that a majority of youths in Lagos State frequently watch foreign films through cinemas, television, and online streaming platforms. The study further found that prolonged exposure to foreign films influences youth social behaviour in several ways, including adoption of foreign fashion trends, changes in language and communication styles, increased interest in foreign lifestyle practices, and, in some cases, diminished adherence to local cultural norms. Peer influence and media accessibility were identified as major factors facilitating these changes. However, some youths reported that foreign films also broaden their cultural awareness and enhance social understanding when critically consumed. The study concludes that foreign films significantly shape youth social behaviour in Lagos State, both positively and negatively. It recommends that parents, educators, and policymakers create awareness about responsible media consumption, encourage critical viewing, and integrate media literacy programs into youth development initiatives to mitigate negative social influence while enhancing the educational and cultural benefits of foreign media exposure....Preview Download Preview +Other Mass Communication project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of social media on students academic performance (a study of students of university of Abuja) »Impact of social media on modern journalism (a study of journalists in Makurdi metropolis) »Impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on radio news reporting (a study of Atlantic FM Uyo) »Perception of cyber crime among Nigerian youths (a study of Caritas university) »The effect of government ownership and control of mass media objectivity reporting (a case study of Enugu state broadcasting services) »Coverage of foreign news by Nigerian newspapers: A content analysis of vanguard and daily sun newspapers»Audience perception of Nigerian newspapers on the internet»Impact of mobile phone on agricultural information among Otukpo farmers»The Effects of Television Commercials on Buying Habits of Enugu Metropolis ( A Case Study of Omo and Elephant Detergents )»Importance of indigenous language in broadcasting media»Influence of news censorship on the performance of media houses in Nigeria (a study of Nasarawa broadcasting service, Lafia) »Role of communication technology in improving work efficiency of AIT staff (a study of AIT Abuja) »Influence of television advertising on consumer buying habits of Guinness stout in Ikeja community of Lagos state»The effect of AKBC tv peak milk advertisement on the consumers buying habit»Effect of public relations on the consumer (a case study of premier breweries plc)
