Attitude of Afghan youths on watching foreign dubbed serials: A case study of Takhar University, Afghanistan

The leading intention of this study was to discover the attitude of Afghan youths on watching foreign dubbed serials. The data were collected from 80 students including male and female who were studying at Takhar University in various majors. The participants were chosen randomly. The research instrument was a semi-structured interview. The data were analyzed based on thematic analysis. The outcome of the research is indicative that 96% of youths watch foreign dubbed serials, but 90% of them think that watching foreign dubbed serials have negative impacts on Muslim youths. Their reason is that the foreign dubbed serials like Turkish, Indian, and Americans are full of matters such as kidnapping, divorce, living in pleasure, drinking wine, illegal love affairs, and family distrust that change the minds of youths and guide them to apply those matters in their daily lives which are against Islamic values. Also, the result of the study illustrated that 80% of the study participants believe that foreign dubbed serials are extremely broadcast in Afghanistan because Afghanistan is a colonial and dependent government. Therefore, it is forced to implement the commands and purpose of superpower countries by any medium.
