Internet v/s China

China has largest internet user after the United States. Government of china feel that internet will create a problems in there country and their culture will demolishes. Because of this Chinese government has banned the use of almost half of website from internet. People republic of china used great firewall also known as Golden Shield Project to censor the using of objectionable things from internet. Chinese ministry of industry and informational technology has filtered many of the websites. The content which have abusive language or were message pass to others about   is happening in china through chat message, email, should be avoided that’s why government have ban or filter the websites. Popular sites like face book, Google plus, Skype, Wikipedia, BBC, you tube, porn sites, blog, etc are fully ban for using by Chinese internet user. Chinese government censoring internet because they don’t want to exchange the information from outside china. Any citizen who gets the connection of internet they have to register first with police. If any of internet users use the banned sites then they are given punishments. But after banning also many of then used banned sites using without getting knowledge of anybody about it.  Banning the internet it restricts the flow of knowledge of outside world. Matter of discussion, our view, and thinking are not growing until we talk with other who is unknown to us. Internet has increased very largely all over the world. But big company related internet is not coming to china for the business because of things like censor. As information will grow the society will also grow and it will get the benefit for the country. For against banning internet many people have done riots but it’s not affected by government. But few sites which were ban were again started. Filtering of internet is required as per user like kids who play online game of violent or vulgar. Using of bad words also not allow using. Information which creates violence it should be ban. China is doing right to filter thing but they are totally banning which stop the freedom of speech of a citizen. The country runs because of citizen and their views if it will not will there then country can not become powerful.

Analysis of McBride report

Communication is a key to get people closure. Communication is a center of all relation to establish society and bring flow of information among people. Mass media had played important role in conveying information in society. Communication brings to different world closure as social networking site is doing and the concept of MacBride report is same.

McBride commission report was issued in 1980. It was published by UNESCO. The aim of the McBride report was to solve the problem occurs in communication for development of society. According to Mwakisha "detailed the inequalities existing in the flow of information between the North and the South, with the latter only on the receiving end and the former determining what information was best for the rest of the world." The report emphasized both receiving and communicating information as rights and "argued that Western cultural and financial dominance over the poorer nations through the media denied those countries any growth and development." The leader of McBride committee was Irish journalist Sean McBride. The committee was setup to suggest a kind of New World Information and communication order (NWICO) to diminish the problems. A wide range of issues were raised as part of NWICO discussions. Some of these involved long-standing issues of media coverage of the developing world and unbalanced flows of media influence. But other issues involved new technologies with important military and commercial uses. The developing world was likely to be marginalized by satellite and computer technologies. The problems pointed out by the report were pertaining to the concentration of media, unequal access of information and communication another issue that was raised was that of the importance of strengthening the National Media to avoid dependence on external sources.

 The Commission worked in eight sessions over more than two years on numerous documents, finally coming up with the final Mac Bride report in October, 1980. During the course of its being made many experts from different countries called the task as “impossible” and yet Mac Bride managed to come up with consensus among all the participating members. During the process the report had strong international support, it was condemned by the United States and the United Kingdom as an attack on the freedom of the press, and both countries withdrew from UNESCO in protest in 1984 and 1985, respectively. The UNESCO General Conference in Belgrade approved the Mac Bride Report in October 1980 despite the anticipated controversial debate. The main aim of the report was to analyse communication problems in modern societies, particularly relating to mass media and news, consider the emergence of new technologies, and to suggest a kind of communication order to diminish these problems to further peace and human development. It made a generally proposal-based summary of measures for change to favour Fairness, independency and democracy. It included nearly all the main theses of the arguments raised by the Third World. Among other problems that the report identified were concentration of the media, commercialization of the media, and unequal access to information and communication. The main problems that the reporters faced were commercialization of the media, and unequal access to information and communication. The report till date is still being analysed and assessed and after nearly 30 years of its being formed today people understand the value and importance of the clauses of the report. What need to be dealt with today are the one-way flow of communication, vertical and horizontal concentration, trans-nationalization, informational isolation and democratisation.

Despite from many clashes if McBride report will there in today’s world then the communication will become more powerful in communicating all over world. It supported the democratisation of communication characterised by equal opportunities of access, dialogue and participation for all including strengthening of national media to avoid dependence on external sources. McBride report remove the negativity comes due to communication between first world country and third world country. The one way communication brings clashes in making good society. McBride report can use now for betterment of society in communication. If communication will not there then the society will not form. Communication makes life simple by communicating views and opinion to share with others. After so many years of issuing McBride reports now people are realising its important in current scenario. The knowledge of political economical cultural is increased between developed and under developed counties. Mac Bride report has come up to provide platform to the First World countries and the Third World countries by the mode of Globalization with too many new ideas and helping hands. As per my thinking McBride report is very important in today’s world for bringing first world and third world countries close through good communication. If it will not their then there will be a dispute lack of communication and growing mistrust between countries will create a war. McBride report will be work if it should apply for good propose. A quick decision should be taken for this report so that we can have a happy and peaceful society and no war can happen in future there well be a good use of communication.

Social media has changed society……

The world is changing and it is changing at a very intense pace. Nobody these days can say that our society of today’s world is the same as it was 20 years ago. Not that long time ago we could’ve said that technology changes our society, but now the society is demanding a change in technology. Social Media created new ways of communication, entertainment, advertising, education, etc.  The best way to define social media is to break it down. Media is an instrument on communication, like a newspaper or a radio, so social media would be a social instrument of communication. In the past few years, social media websites have become more popular, giving young people a new way to interact with each other and communicate with the world. This new form of communication depends on user-created content, not mass produced messages coming from large media companies. But as with other media before it, social media's rise to prominence has experienced some very serious growing pains.  Social media like Face book, Twitter, Orkut, MySpace, Yahoo, Google+, Skype, Watsup aps, viber, and vice versa sites have changed our expectations of the web, as well as society.

The oldest and most powerful form of mass media is the word, both written and spoken; from priests to traveling storytellers, the word has held credibility. A new platform, social media, has taken the power of the word to new levels, transforming companies, society communication. Platforms such as Twitter and Face book are medium for dialogues between many to many, held in a very visible format. The borders of countries and states have dissolved to the credit of the Internet and social media. Through Face book and Twitter, among others, companies are able to fabricate and build virtual personalities. Through history as the communication platforms evolved the method of communicating also had to adapt. Just as the telephone made distance relative, social media has made cultures and social relative. Communication is visible to the world population through MySpace, Twitter, Face book, Second life, and many others.

Social Networking enables us to communicate with anyone and anywhere. People of all ages, races and classes, which have access to new media technology, are empowered to communicate with anyone they want. This instant and low cost communication also changed our society by simply making it global. Teenagers and children spend enormous amount of time on Internet, they learn a lot by communicating with others and at the same time miss out on real life communication. There is simply no need of real life interaction, since all of that is moved online. Social Media have changed distribution of information and coordination and it certainly does make our lives better with faster, cheaper and easier technology, but does it make our lives safer. The main issue that concerns everyone or at least most of new media users is the privacy issue. With all the information which we provide on the web site it is hard to protect yourself from that information being used by someone else.

The spreading of an idea, or of news occurring somewhere in the world can no longer be completely blocked by any organization. As long as one person is able to connect to the internet and express their view about a situation or simply about an idea, then the information that individual will want to share, will get out into the world. Remember, last year during the Iranian elections when there were (and to some extent still are) people disagreeing with the “official” election outcome, the Iranian government attempted to control the communication and the images of what was occurring in Iran from getting out. They were never able to control all the information and images that were being seen by the world in ‘real-time’. Sites such as Face book, Twitter, YouTube and Friend Feed allow people to share ideas on not just news, but also on products and services. Products and Services that before social media, many people would not have even heard about them, let alone request or want the service.

Needless to say, social media has forever changed the way society works, whether it’s the sharing of an idea, the communication of news, or the availability of a product or service. Society today is on the verge of a new way of existing that it’s never experienced before. No longer will people from one side of the world be really able to say that they will never see a person or communicate with someone from the other side of the world ever in their life. No longer will people not be able to share an idea, if they really want to share it (no matter how radical it may be or no matter how many people may disagree with it). No longer will the spreading of information or the expressing of an opinion be able to be completely silenced. As long as there is a person who wishes to express their opinion, share their music or art, or simply say hello to another human being in another country or culture, social media will allow them to do so.

Reality show or Controversial show

Reality shows as we know today is favorite genre of all Television producers. On one hand they generate good revenues for Television Industry and on the other hand they create a very good platform for thousands of Indian youngsters who want to achieve great things in their field of interests. Be it Dancing, Singing, doing Comedy, modeling or other talent (India’s Got talent of Colors Channel), reality shows do give a hope to the parents of young children that there is more to life than being a Doctor or an Engineer.
India has been grooming a lot of reality TV shows recently and most of them have been controversial to some extend with certain scenes and episodes abusing the traditional and cultural values of the country. There are different viewpoints from people belonging to different walks of life and the impact of reality shows is paving its way today. The reality shows debate being held through different mediums has found more criticism against such crude shows on many national television channels. The strongest question that is blooming in the air against these is that should reality shows be banned?
The responsible body for all these controversies giving rise to some sort of disturb in some society is the government itself. Numbers of reality shows are being streamed on Indian televisions and the government should have set better laws curbing expression of many sensitive issues that are being shown. It is known by the people that all these shows are crazily being produced just for the sake of TRPs and huge sum of money they earn. If the government is not able to take care of these issues that is causing bad influence in the society, it can be assured that the government is corrupt. There are lots of local organizations and groups pointing the vulgarity and insanity of these shows.
Recently, one of the popular reality shows called MTV Roadies portrayed two male participants nude on international TV in Brazil on the name of task! This is an insane behavior to a society where traditional and cultural norms are highly respected. They have neither cared about the social disturbance it would cause nor about the effects of reality shows on children. The truth of reality shows in television in India is that they care only about the money they could earn. An article on reality shows has described the fact behind how the actor or the real performer would face their real life. They have bear high risk of falling into mental disorders, depression and regret too because these tasks take place in just an instant in a flick of minute on TV but they face consequences throughout their life. Still the producer of the show says that they have helped the actors overcome the biggest fears in their life! The truth of mtv reality show is that they have not taken good care of all such possibilities in front of money. As a matter of fact, one can argue that these private channels are not in the business of promoting culture, but are for making money. But star plus roping in Akshay Kumar for its Master Chef, a cooking reality show, foreign actors coming in the Bigg Boss’s house and justice being given by a controversial woman in Rakhi ka Insaaf serve an example of the fact that only SEX AND FEAR SELLS and the entertainment media find this as the right business model.
It is outright WRONG to call these reality shows a culture destroyer. But what pains me the most is the Reality Show coverage In the Parliament. This is the height of stupidity. Aren’t there more critical issues at hand then discussing whether the Government should ban show like “Sach ka Samna” etc.? India has serious problems with poverty, economy and infrastructure to name a few. And these are the areas we need the government to act.  I don’t mean that censorship of such shows is not a critical issue. But if that’s the case, why is the government singling out the reality shows? It should then ban all ‘Saas-Bahu’ epidemics that are being thrown at the viewer along with lot of other trash which from a moral perspective are bad influences.
If TV is the greatest invention of our generation then REMOTE is even greater invention since TV. People ought to use it at will. If you don't like it change it or shut it. The average Indian TV viewer is smart enough to distinguish between what is harmless entertainment and what to take out of it. Culture for many is very much individualistic and personal and they feel that if the reality shows are gaining grounds which sells sex, then these too are being slowly accepted by the culture. I understand that not all the viewers are smart enough to differentiate between what’s wrong and right. That is where parental guidance should kick in. Many shows have a parental advisory before them and some also cater to a minimum age requirement. The censor board has shifted the timings of such shows from the prime time to a late night telecast keeping in view the mind of teenagers.

Why these serials are like this???

“Kahani ghar ghar kii” to “kuch toh log kahenge” before and after in between of these serials, many had come and go, some are still there. Every new channel there is many new serials. Daily soap playing important role in changing the life style, way of thinking of a society. Daily soap is watched by almost every one in every house. For some people watching daily soap is time pass but over innocent Indian women daily soap is a daily need. If she will not watch every serial then her day will not pass. She will think whole day about this stupid serials and discuss this about their friends. Some women are mad for the daily soap.

Serials are imaginary stories. But some time they show very important issue that some part of India there is problem going on. Like child marriage to aware about it the show came “Balika vadhu”, for not killing baby girl there was a serial called “Na ana is desh main lado”. Viewers of the serials they see and think what serial want audience to think. Viewer follow serial and do whatever his/her favorite character do on real or reel life. If suppose Akshara of “Yeh rista kya khelata h” will start wearing western outfit instead of sarees and heavy jewelry then a ‘bahu’ of a middle class who follows strict tradition in there house then she will also start wearing western outfit. Also serial has change the tradition of applying sindoor in partition of head into applying a maroon lipstick instead of kumkum in forehead.

Daily soap tells to girl women to adjust yourself in every situation if everybody is telling that you are wrong then you should be adjust yourself if you are right also. If serials can change the lifestyle of people then why they are not changing the mindset of people. Serials like “Humse hai life”, “Saubhagyabati bhava?”, “Uttaran”, “Har jeet”, “Diya aur Bati”, these all story started with some good story that a girl or women face problem in life or there dream and passion to complete it, but after few episode it change differently or say, it become same as all gisha pita story like a old common love story, marriage, adjustment in life with all, saas bahu fight and all silly crap. In serial “Diya aur Bati” a girl wanted to be an IAS officer but some thing happen and she married to uneducated and a small sweet shop owner boy and now serial is showing she is adjusting with the boy and there family forgetting her dreams of IAS officer.

Now a day’s eve teasing case is increasing. Some people think it happen because girl is wearing a short dress and this mentality of people is created by daily soap. Every serial show that a girl goes out with short skirt then some boys whistle and pass comment on girl. Daily soap are showing problem or some time it create problem but they are not giving solution to the problem. They are not telling people what to do in the problem not to adjust them self and they are not telling old people that this is not case in actual. What actual happens out side world that daily soap maker not show it. Serial can be educated to those who are illiterate or who is narrow minded. Serial should not misguide to there audience. Serial maker should start thinking and working on new topic, new ideas and its presentation. Serial should be like however it is imaginary it should look like realistic and audience learn and change the mindset of people.
