Not actually,
The cinema, TV programmes, or drama...is mostly a commercial activity...and their subject matter usually covers what is saleable. Specially, Cinema or TV programmes have nothing to do with a country's culture...pick up any movie...they try to sell violence, emotions, sex, or fantasy.
The stage drama is a little more relevant...although it has limited audience, and few takers.
The television...which has the largest audience...is the worst...so far as quality is concerned.

of course, but not completely,
there seems to be other country's culture too slowly finding its way into ours!!!
i hope TV programmes are far far better than cinemas, since they maintain certain norms and a level of culture in them.
and, staged dramas are far far better than TV programmes since they are programmed to convey some morals or messages to the public.

Not necessarily. They often reflect the social engineering strategies of the country's leaders. The culture just follows suit. Much of the sex and violence on TV in the U.S. nowadays is deliberate social engineering. And, it's working quite well to degrade the consciousness of the people, making them dumber, more afraid and easier to control/manipulate.

from the sociological point of view, culture is an everchanging phenomenon. Hence, what you see on tv, drama,and current cinema are a symbol of our changing culture. so, they do reflect one's country's culture.

Yes, they still do.
In ancient times it was solely based on society/culture. These days it has taken turn to other things, mostly entertainment which least to do with culture. Let's see how long can we keep our culture alive.

I hope not. At any rate, it's not a fair representation of MY culture.
Does culture control our lives or do our lives control our culture??

i think so. life is a stage, and whatever is showing in that stage is a reflection of life itself.
