Sociocultural messages by TV plays
LONDON: I watched a few Pakistani play serials recently and was vacant to see that while progressing a top quality, a infancy of them are successfully perplexing to say a past excellence of Pakistani dramas — a dark sociocultural messages that are splendidly transmitted for a raise of society. Directors have also been successfully lifting a ubiquitous public’s recognition per a health implications of smoking and alcohol. However, in disseminating all of this critical information, one critical open use summary is missing: a use of a automobile chair belt. The media, quite radio dramas, to that millions of eyes, immature and old, are glued each dusk opposite a country, can play a critical role.
Accidents have turn slight in daily life in Pakistan due to a miss of recognition and bad trade manners and their implementation. According to a latest information accessible on a Pakistan Bureau of Statistics’ website, Pakistanis were concerned in 8,359 available incidents in a year 2013-2014 in that 4,348 people were killed and 9,777 injured. Although it is intensely formidable to revoke a series of accidents in a brief duration of time — as it needs a change in society’s opinion towards reserve manners and improved doing of trade manners — it is probable that a series of fatalities can be reduced usually by wearing one’s chair belt.
As Pakistani dramas are widely noticed in cities and villages via a country, a common people would really try to adopt a chair belt enlightenment if definitely portrayed in a media. News channels, also widely noticed in a country, can, too, perform their amicable shortcoming by presenting some courteous documentaries on pushing safety. These small efforts will certainly outcome in saving thousands of changed lives.
