ROLE OF TV MEDIA
The quality of Indian T.V. soap operas & reality shows has gone too low. The shows which are popular doesn’t preach good moralities and values, rather contain unreal melo-drama. Even the Reality shows are just on the sake of name, no single content gives the evidence of reality. These upbeat Reality Programs depend on humiliation and spite.
Today’s T.V serials are full of conspiracy and negative roles. They are ripping out, the social as well as moral values of the Indian society and overstepping the limits of the relationships.
In the country like India, women are worshipped and are supposed to be highly honorable and respectable, thanks to these T.V serials, they are portraying them as vamps, who are capable of breaking any family as craved. These types of serials cultivate more crimes and other social evils.
Daily soaps today mainly focuses on family problems.They are totally bad, filthy and immoral and are in truth not good for humanity. They show negative values such as adultery, family problems, husband and wife’s argument, extra –marital affairs, unconventional relationships, more than one marriages etc.
These types of serials and movies promote bad habits such as smoking, drinking, fighting, inhaling drugs etc. songs that are erotic dances, in which body parts (Eg. Hips, thighs, cleavage and curves) are exposed . A lot of music channels turn out aimless and directionless videos .
One should not watch TV serial, unless there is anything that raises awareness and helps to gain some knowledge or good things. Discovery or National Geographic ,Animal Planet etc give unlimited knowledge.
There are better options like Laughter shows, Quiz Programmes etc. through which one will gain knowledge or will get good entertainment.
There is a need for the community as a whole to proceed towards a more active means of entertainment so that we can have a more dynamic society.
TV and Media should cover more on following subjects rather than airing Soaps.
- It is observed that media does not report good works done by individuals or NGOs in making a society better. Thus we can see several TV serials on films, fashion, style but no programmes to raise several problems faced by citizens and cover good work done by NGOs.
- Media can play a vital role by highlighting the problems of society. But what we see is all films, reality shows and glamorous contents on most of TV channels.
- We do not find TV contents to improve lifestyle of people rather we are shown lifestyle and gossip about films and actors and celebs.
- We do not find any content on performance of elected representatives in parliament. Such programmes can be a check to measure their performance.
Thus TV should play constructive role to have a better life style of people and make government system to function in better way.
