Institutional Imbalance : The constitution defines the limitations of institutions. It sets a balance of power between different institutions. For Example, Judiciary and Parliament have their own authority, power and clout. When one institution, tries to arrogate more power to itself, it causes imbalance. As a result, functioning of this state is impaired. Another example is that of Pakistan army. Army is supposed to defend the frontiers of the country against external aggression. But in Pakistan, Army is involved in Politics, law enforcement in Karachi and many areas, that does not fall under it's constitutional jurisdiction.
Women are subjugated : Women do not have equal rights in Pakistan. Example, honor killing. Even in tribal areas, women are not allowed to vote.
Politicization of institution : Favorite bureaucrats are rewarded with rapid promotions and in armed forces. For example, the appointment of Lt. Gen Zia Butt by Nawaz Sharif, during his previous stint.
Meritocracy : ability and merit should be the sole basis of appointment to government jobs.
Yellow journalism : sensationalism and exploitation comes under yellow journalism.
Hope it helps.
