Mom! Change the channel, these dramas won’t do any good in real life!!!

In a previous edition of an article written that discussed the negative mind development of our young ones through different TV shows and cartoons, there is another group of people who are being affected in the similar manner.
Remembering the times when there were TV shows related to the bravery of our Armed forces and reality shows like the one that Tariq Aziz did, we now see a different picture.

Whenever a person who goes home, there he sees his mother or sister or grandmother watches some TV serial that always has some kind of absurdity in it. Yes there are several examples of Pakistani TV serials that do project positive
and real aspects of the society and yes they also give off a solution to several problems in our society, however, there are so many TV serials that project nothing but pure crap.

Since my own family members have started watching these serials, their activity from 6Pm to 11Pm is nothing but to sit in front of the TV and watch a drama that would have a bride getting a loose character husband who is in love
with someone else, or an old man marrying a young girl regardless of the fact that he already has a wife and a son?

Why do we need project such issues? Media is something that is made to depict a solution to problems in a society; however, it is now used just as a business. Anyhow, what happens next is that when out parents or siblings watch
these ridiculous dramas, they tend to manipulate them in their real lives as well.

How is that possible? Let me tell you how. Consider yourself a 13-year-old watching “THE RING”, a horror movies that most of us have seen. And when we lie down in our bed or we are walking down a dark road we tend to come up with
this thought that there might be something behind us or watching us when that is just relativity to what you have seen.

Similarly, our family, mostly mothers and sister-in-laws, when tend to watch these things over and over again, they tend to seek a similar story in their real life. Yes these TV serial are eye catching, yet they are destroying
our society as well.

Undoubtedly there is a need to produce dramas that have their core focus on social issue, however, there is need to stop our family to sit in front of the TV for more than 5 hours daily because not only they are being brainstormed,
they are wasting their time, leaving their prayers, and making themselves more indolent in doing the things they really have to.
