How influential TV and movies can be?

Tv and movies are, basically, considered as the means of entertainment for everybody. In fact, they are extremely impactful on our day to day lives. They have the power to change someone’s perception towards a topic. They can guide us as well as can govern our behaviors if they are binge watched all day and all night. They can impact us either directly or indirectly, depending on the hours we spend watching them.

Indeed, watching TV and movies is beneficial, as it helps us relief our everyday stress in this chaotic world, moreover, it helps us release our happy chemicals from time to time,and it encourages people to learn about new things and stuff that’s going on around the world. However, depending completely on these means of entertainment can be detrimental.

Watching tv shows and movies for a long period of  time can arouse criminal behavior among the viewers and can urge them to take evil and illegal steps. And as we lure ourselves into the realm of tv shows and movies, we forget about the surroundings and what’s benevolent for it. It can have a damaging effect on kids too, they get enticed by the characters and their body language that they start to imitate them and behave like one of them. Furthermore, it resists kids from going out and playing with their friends or doing some recreational activities that can help kids develop the power of deep thinking and analyzing.

For adults, it’s also a depressor that creates conundrum and gives rise to unethical doings. People get captivated by characters and try to mimic them, and they forget about their surroundings, thus, making them think everything they do is ethical.

Everything is okay if it’s done for a short period of time, but when done for a long period of time it can be harmful, and same is with watching tv shows and movies. They can have a profitable effect as well as a devastating effect if we let these means of entertainment govern us. Mediums are just for the support and pleasure, depending on it will degrade and dismantle our core as well as will adversely affect us. Technology is for our help, not something that can guide us.

Digital Technology: A new name of isolation

The new advances in technology are leading us to a dystopian future, the technologies were made to help us and make our lives easier are misguiding us to lives which will end up in loneliness. Technology is basically an application of science, which is used for the advancements for mankind and beyond, though it has made our lives more effortless, nevertheless simultaneously it has made us alienated from our loved ones and surroundings.

Through technology we are all connected, yet find ourselves disconnected. Nowadays people are so carried away by the online social networking sites and digital gadgets, they are always fronting their smartphone’s screens, and preferring texting or chatting over a real life conversation, which requires our full attention and language using skills at the very moment. Like we have seen in the video with millions of views on YouTube,“I forgot my phone”, where comedian Ms. deGuzman is ignored by her friends and family. People were capturing photo and making videos instead of living in the moment (1). Although we will be able to get timeless photos, yet we won’t be able to get the feeling and involvement of that particular moment.

Folks are getting everything at the same place by just one click, banking, reservations, meetings, chatting etc. In families, kids are being ignored by their parents during lunch and dinner, they’re not getting their full attention, consequently leading kids to social isolation and loneliness. Similar thing is happening in social gatherings as well. Dr. Andrew McCulloch chief executive of the Metal Health Foundation says,“ loneliness transcends “all ages and all classes”(2).

Video games are also one of the major reasons why people are becoming socially awkward and isolated. There are advances in the domain of personal robotics, which are egging this transitional phase, people are using robots as communicating partners to express their feelings, using them as caretakers and pets. There are robots even meant for sex. Robots are basically seen as an alternative for the real life people and buttresses for the lonesome (3).

Technology is not only making us stranded, but has detrimental effects on our health like obesity, head ache, eye problems, aggressive behavior and muscular, neurological as well as psychological problems. Through real life conversations we are able to get affection from our loved ones and can articulate ourselves conspicuously.

Albeit, technology has its pros and is ready to help whenever we want, nonetheless it’ll overwhelmingly intrude our lives until and unless we take an initiative to use our technology at time of needs and in scheduled fashion. We should control and utilize the technology, rather than letting technology dominate and degrade us. We should cherish every moment we live, as we only live once.

Taj

Indeed, a love story built in the form of a marble mausoleum. Taj is one of the seven wonders of the world, and a crowing jewel of Indo-Islamic architecture. It has been built in the remembrance of Mumtaz Mahal, darling wife of Shah Jahan—one of the Mughal emperors who reigned India around. It’s situated in the heart of India, Agra, and on the bank of the holy river Yamuna. It has been a tourist point ever since the beginning; it encounters millions of tourist annually.

Inside it reside the sarcophagi of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz mahal.

Taj has its own divine and scenic beauty that entice millions. The artistic work that has been done and architected on the walls of Taj is phenomenal as well as appreciative. The arabesque and pietra dura art work are designed gracefully with elegance on the marble walls, and the marbles are carved into the shape of blooms, delicately. The ethereal, intricate pierce work is icing on the cake, created by thousands of workers.

The calligraphic quotes on the wall are taken from the Quran, all written in Urdu, the language of love. The quotes are calligraphed from jasper and inlaid in the white marble panels.

When the marble of Taj luminous as the full moon’s light falls on it, the brink of beauty it reaches can’t be articulated even through the most beautiful words in the world. The marble glistens brightly with mystical beauty and serenity. Furthermore, it looks panoramically flawless when we have a frontal view after the fountains have spilled water in the gullies in front of it; we see a shadow cast on the calm water that renders us the beguiling grandeur of the ivory-marble mausoleum. It can be legitimately summoned about Taj that it’s the monument of genuine love.

Space exploration

Have you ever thought about aliens, whenever you gaze at the night sky? Or Have you ever wondered what it’ll be like to confront an alien civilization? These questions have been lingering around for such a long time in the minds of human beings.       

     We have come far in the age of space exploration in such a short span of time. About a decade ago it was unfathomable for us to know about the new stars and planets emerging in the space. However, because of today’s advancing technology we’ve come to know about a bunch of new stars along with the planets revolving around them. Additionally, we can trace the planets that may harbor lives: exoplanets.      

    To me, space exploration and planetary studies are something that can tell us about the past as well as future of us and our universe. Space exploration has been transcending in discoveries, and there is a slight chance of confronting aliens in future. As there are advances in the field of astrobiology, new theories are emerging which tell us more about exoplanets and extraterrestrial life.    

    I celebrate almost every new discovery made in the field of cosmos, and I genuinely want to raise the glass for all the space explorers out there for making these phenomenal discoveries. If we don’t lose our optimism we might encounter an alien civilization on any of the exoplanets, in the coming future.

English : Lingua Franca

English is known as Lingua Franca, the language which is adopted as a common language and is spoken between the people who speak different languages. “The problem with defending the purity of the english language is that the english language is as pure as a crib-house whore. It not only borrows words from other languages; it has on occasion chased other languages down dark alley ways, clubbed them unconscious, and rifled their pockets for new vocabulary.” - James Nicoll Originally, english was spoken in Great Britain and now it is being used globally. The language English is the transformation of the west Germanic language spoken in early medieval England. Even though it is derived from other languages, it has the power to be spoken individually and has a very strong impact. In my opinion, English is one of the elysian language spoken all around the world along with its parts of speech; through English we can express our feelings beautifully. The three magical words ‘I Love You’ are in english and can make someone happy; these are the most overused, misused and misunderstood words in english, that are spoken globally. Nowadays, people from different countries speak in english for communicating with the people of other countries, as english is widely accepted and spoken. It is especially helpful for those who are interested in studying abroad or want to set up a business in abroad as it can be the only language which can help you to communicate with local people, but importantly learning english can make you bilingual and more versatile. In my country english language is considered as the second language for communication, but I individually consider it as my first language because I find it extremely mesmerizing and I adore learning new english words and I love to use them in my day to day life to express myself on social networking sites or in academics. At last, I would like to conclude that english is a basic language for communication in divert countries and is very helpful in expressing ourselves in english speaking countries like Australia, USA and Great Britain. Eloquence in English language is one of the beautiful way of communication all around the world.

Game Of Politeness

When some speak, 

The words so mellifluous,

Shattered hearts unite, 

A beam appears on glum little faces, 

Bad blood disintegrates, 

An aura of love and ecstasy surrounds folks,

A hale bond forms between the people, 

Togetherness reaches its zenith,

Work becomes fecund,

Mankind from all parts of the world fraternize,

It’s just a game of politeness.

This world is the only place where we can express ourselves. We should express ourselves as much as we can, we’re not gonna get another chance, perhaps.

Women : An Intense Source

“Women are angels and when someone brakes their wings, they simply continue to fly on a broomstick.” -Anonymous 

Women are indeed angels as we just summed up from the above quote, and they are the ones who carry on the generation. In archaic days, many religions had rituals to worship women. But as we came from those days to these days things got changed a lot, men started seeing women in a recessive way, they have started beating them up, started getting dowry from their parents, started raping women, acid throwing, women trafficking and eve teasing. These are some of the crimes that take place all over the world against women.

 Nowadays, women are equivocating by doing their household work and official work simultaneously. They are now opening up and participating equally as men. Despite their tremendous work they are being beaten up at homes and are being raped. Women as well as girls under five years of age are sold for money, for domestic works and as prostitute workers. The crimes against women are rapidly increasing and are the matter of concern. 

Most dangerous country in the world for women are India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Mexico etc. India is being the at the top of this category. In so called incredible India women are neither safe outside nor at home, as in the rural part of North India women are beaten up and male child dominance is still continuing. One of the most horrendous example of sexual assault is Delhi Gang Rape 2012, where a 23 old girl student was raped and beaten up in the moving bus by six men, and then was left naked at the corner of the road at night in December winter, that girl after thirteen days of struggle died in the hospital, this shameless act of the rapists left the country sombre and the people of India speechless. To be honest, I am ashamed to be an Indian and an Indian denizen after this horrifying act. Not long ago, a Turkish girl Ozgecan Aslan of 19 was raped and then her dead body was left burnt in the middle of the forest. These kind of acts are inhumane and extremely punishable, attackers should be given a sentence of death after conducting these type of devastating crimes against anyone in the world. 

Recently, there have been many terrorizing acid attacks on women which leave their faces deformed and there lives shattered, this is just because of a ‘no’. If a man like a woman and propose a marriage proposal or ‘be my girlfriend’ proposal and if the woman says no, her life get ruined, man attacks on her violently by throwing cheap and easily available strong acid on her face. In Mexico, there are thousands cases of women disappearing. More than 1,000 girls and women are victims of ‘honour killings’ each year and 90 percent face domestic violence in Pakistan. 1,150 women are raped every day – equating to 420,000 a year in Democratic Republic of Congo. 

Once i saw this quote somewhere and i want to share it with you that: Human? Yes, but Humanity? No 

It’s indeed a hard time for women, but we will come over this condition as we are the most strong life form made by the god and with the help of feminist we can and we will come over this bad time situation slowly and gradually. We can combine feminist from all around the world and punish the ones who are uttering these dreadful deeds. We’ll resurrect the time when women were seen divine and godly, thus making a world where women shine and are seen equal.
