Is media , a catalyst to sexual harassment?
Media is a great platform of infotainment .It gives us everything we want.It is a limitless medium through which we can convey our message to any body and to any place.(Ofcourse Internet needs to be availabe) Today we are in a Global Village as termed by Marshall McLuhan many years ago.We are now totally depended on media and the message conveyed through it. We have forgotten to judge things. To us everything that is available over the internet is true . But our main question was whether media promotes sexual harassment-I will keep my views - to me somewhat yes . We are those people who shout and voice up against the increasing crime against women. That is obviously a correct thing to do. But we are those who also check out the movies where the heroes pull their girlfriend's saree or even beat her when she has refused his proposal! So what can you expect from a kid who is watching out these films with full of sexual contents - well I do not know the answer but will try to explain my view point- I think these kids are those same men who will know that they can easily harass a girl sexually , molest them and consider the women as objects.To these men ,women will only be used as sexual objects. And most interestingly, as I said in my previous post ,public eye is drawn towards 'masalas' of the movies.Masalas are the sexual contents and we try to relate to them.Every movie has contents and they are needed to create a scene-I absolutely support that but too much use of slang language, hard core scenes of women objectification as sexual objects are not needed.They may be excluded out easily.Movies brought a revolution to the world culturally , socially and psychologically, Lets not forget movies inspire us and to some extent creates our being. one request only, please make good content, people will freely watch it, not with headphones on in isolation!!
