Culture is a complex term. It has dance, music, languages, clothes, traditions, and many other aspects as its constituents. Many artists and writers try to make people aware of the cultural diversity on the Earth through paperbacks, movies, and the Web. Nonetheless, in order to know a culture properly, you have to live in it. The aforementioned information media cannot be employed to display a culture in its entirety owing to makers’ human limitations.
One such constraint is social responsibilities. To be precise, sometimes, some traditions or cultural elements are sensitive. They, if shown on or printed in a platform, can hurt the feelings of people of other ethnicities. For instance, the Islamic culture has an aspect of beef eating. It can disgust the Hindu community to read about or see cow slaughter. However, if the Hindu visit an Islamic area, they may have to see this act, however unwillingly.
Another constraint is time limit. That is to say, no matter how diligent an artist or writer is, he or she has to complete a task in a stipulated duration. After all, the forms of media in question require investments and have revenue expectations. As a consequence, owing to the commercial factors, some cultural elements are always left out. To illustrate, many films have captured the fields of Punjab. Nevertheless, there are Punjabi markers, such as religious and language diversity, that are neither penned nor filmed properly in popular culture.
In conclusion, one has to stay in a region to experience its culture fully. The extent of inclusion of cultural markers in the entertainment media is marred by social and commercial burdens.
