In the beginning it was theaters, and then came television,
then computer, then laptop, then mobiles, then tabs…We are now able to watch
anything wherever we want at our convenience. It is a positive change. But are
we watching what we watch?
Are we aware that we are mentally being prepared through
visuals to become addict to a particular product? It is not just products but
ideas and thoughts. Quite often we are being made vulnerable. Fear and
insecurity is being directly and indirectly injected into our minds. Our minds
are slowly poisoned against people and nations. We are made to believe that we
are superior to a particular group of people. All these are done daily through
what we watch.
To not to become a slave of media just don’t be satisfied
with just one point of view. Take a look at what other people are saying on the
subject.
The generation that came after the media revolution is
finding it difficult to relate on an intimate level to the opposite sex – the
reason is constant exposure to pornography and sexual content on films and
television. Many young men and women are blindly copying what they see on
television and other media forms. They are objectifying themselves. The act of
pure and intimate lovemaking is being replaced with gore and self gratification
without any respect for the partner.
Those graphics, images and movies that are meant only for
sense gratification will become obsolete as soon as you discover something new.
You will never be satisfied. Try to grow out of sense gratification.
This does not mean you should stop watching what you like.
Always watch what you like but while watching do not put your intelligence in a
freezer. Make use of it. Always keep alive the independent thinking.
