Guns and a television channel
By Amar Jaleel
As Ideas 2006 was not intended for the ordinary people, what was the sense of having it exhibited at one of the busiest spots in the city?
AWARENESS is essential for understanding an issue. However, awareness is not an independent element in thought process. Awareness emanates from inquisitiveness and the desire to know. Man is born gifted with these two instinctive elements — desire to know and inquisitiveness. The two components together initiate inquiry. The systematic application of inquiry unfolds an issue no matter how complicated it may appear to be. SINDH TELEVISION
Rural Sindh is strong bulwark of ruthlessly powerful feudal lords. Each of them has a territory of his own where he exercises his authority with utmost impunity. They unleash bloodcurdling terror on the rural people through the criminals they harbour and the government functionaries they pamper. Exceptions apart, the rural Sindhis live a life like slaves wrapped in ignorance. |

Media violence and children |
| |
By Rizwana Naqvi
IF we look around us we will see, and most people will agree, that childrens behaviour has become more violent over the years. This ranges from rude fights on the playground to armed incidents in schools that result in injuries or even causalities. Asking ourselves whats causing all of this, we quickly point an accusing finger at the media, most common of which are TV, and computer and video games. One must not forget that the media is not the only source of violence. This article, for the sake of brevity, will only discuss this aspect. |
