Abstract:

This study aims to understand the depth of the influence of western web series on young impressionable minds of school-going teenagers. These teenagers are studying in both residential and non-residential schools, in tier 1 and tier 2 cities. The feedback that was received was encouraging enough to indicate that drugs, alcohol, smoking, and violence were not what they wanted to replicate, but they were enamoured by the education system as well as the academic life that students in these series depicted. This was a source of attraction for Indian high schoolers to the extent that it did make them consider pursuing these countries for higher education. The next step of my study would be to extend the survey to a wider reach of students in different cities in rural and urban areas.
