Following the conflicting views on Globalization and culture, this qualitative study
was conducted with the purpose to explore the effects of the advertising practices
of the Multinational Corporations on the national culture of Pakistan. As a result
of promotional messages, the purity of the national language of Pakistan, Urdu,
has been diluted. "Now the word soup is used for "Yakhni", Ketchup for "Chatni",
Chair for "Kursi" and Room for "Kamra". Heavy advertising spending for their
high tech products like computers and in the telecom industry particularly
mobile phones have influenced the educationists to adapt the curricula according
to new standards and demands. Cold drinks and ice cream are now common in
winter as well which were not before. Similarly, the celebrities used by MNC's
in their advertisements have moved the society away from its own cultural
values. Our routine activities have been significantly changed. In broader
perspective, it can be concluded that the advertising practices of MNC's have
significantly affected both the visible and invisible elements of Pakistani culture.
