In today's society, murder, rape, suicide, gang
warfare, riots, drive-by shootings and other graphic depictions of violence are
no further away than the nearest remote control. All of these images and more
can be viewed from the comfort of one's own home on television. In recent times
we have witnessed a new trend in media which is re enactment of criminal events.
Currently almost all channels which are showing similar crime events
with all the attractive contents and other spicy material. Initially the main objective
of these programs was to aware viewers of the criminal events and the motto behind
them. However it has been observed that the effect it is creating on public’s
mind is that they are getting aware of different ways to take revenge from
their enemies and to make quick money. Many people are seen discussing the idea
of becoming ‘ROBIN HOOD’ in today’s
tough times. Recession, job insecurity and inflation are the elements which is making
everyone depressed and aggressive. Therefore these programs are not helping
much in mitigation of inflation and depression in one’s life. We can analyze
the recent increase in the crime and increase in the episodes of such programs.
People are actually sitting with their families to watch these re enactments
crimes like Tele Theater or FIR series.
When drama is based on reality and is giving the impression that a life of
crime is something to be admired, then I think there are problems. It is glorifying something that is
wrong."
Due to these ill effects, parents should preach
their children not to watch these programs as they can have negative impact on
their innocent minds.
The objective of the media is to bring the truth to
its viewers but sometimes truth is bitter. If we take example of USA , we have never encountered CNN or Fox
channels talking about rape and snatching cases in USA USA

"I just cannot believe that why the producers of programs would now reward these sorts of people with glorification and guest appearances on TV."
It
is a sad state of affairs when the glorification of criminals and their activities
has become a business.
Good.. Nice topic..We should highlight this on print media.
ReplyDeleteVery right! There is a great need for Today's Media to make its role more constructive to become an effective pillar of the society.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive and thought provoking!!
ReplyDeleteI think I feel a little tired to read all the stuff in a single breath unless the picture of faheem siddiqui ask me dude to take rest....
Good effort. being a part of this society we should condemn these types of programmes to save our children's minds.
ReplyDeleteI m 100% agreed to keep the innocent children away from the reach of these activities views.
i think idea of re-enactment is not bad but media should convey this message properly so that it can fulfill the objective...but excellent article and you cover almost all part of it
ReplyDeleteGood ateempt and good topic..you need to elaborate it more..please avoid using pictures in professional writing unless you have taken them yourself..
