Films have a great - not necessarily positive - influance on us, especially serials as they are on TV for a long time. They set certain stereotypes about the people they are about, their lives and the society they live in. The problem is that we usually do not see them working or studying but only enjoying their lives. Their principles are not so easily applicable to our situation so when youngsters follow the values of well-to-do young people from Beverly Hills they lose their own genuine personality, they become similar to each other as they bear themselves the same way. They assimilate with the characters from the films so much that they find it difficult to accept and understand Polish realia.
