Culture is what Media Says

In today’s media hyped world where the each and every trend, values, to-do and not-to-do, what’s cool and what’s not, the culture and society is dictated by media and the media persons it is very hard for a normal person to stay sane in today environment. The major pressure falls on to the parents of those children who are in the late teenage years and in the learning process of copycatting the so called youth icons of today like Asmit Patel and Imran Hashmi who not only project but also promote a reckless lifestyle. Their so called cool or I DARE and I DON’T CARE attitude had no space for culture and discipline. With discipline I don’t mean rigidity to age old beliefs and no enjoying life, but rather living life in a meaningful way. But who cares, cause such things are labeled and categorized as not-hot columns. More so most of the papers are eighty percent filled with page3 people with the promotion of their king-sized designer lives. Youngsters try to mimic and copy them and end up being alcoholics or drug addicts. Young girls more and more are shifting to lesser the better style of clothing inviting eve-teasers and people with wrong motives, Courtesy- The more aware and modern media persons. Recently a famous English daily was convicted of publishing pornographic material to which their reply were, we’re promoting a modern more aware society and this is to educate younger generation about sex and sexuality. Well Dear Editor, is your paper educating by means of demonstration and experimentation. And for couples married or in a relationship try something and this paper enlists various means of straying out of relationship. Well if you call it creative journalism then I am sorry the whole courseware needs to go through a revision.
