“ were it left for me to decide to have state without press or press without state, I would not hesitate to favour the latter upon former”
Thomas Jefferson

Media is a lethal weapon. it is more powerful than the nukes. the impact of media in today’s world is of paramount importance. media has the ability to transform day into night and night into day. it can change a hero into villain and vice versa. One cannot imagine the world as we know it today without media. Media has altered the very base of information sharing.

Mass media is defined as diverse technologies used to communicate information to the general mass. Malcolm X said,
media is the most powerful entity on earth”.
Mass media employs a number of agents namely, print media, electronic media and now more recently social media. As mcluhan very rightly identified that a “global village” has been transformed into a “global city” by media.

The primary objective of media is to inform its audience of the recent occurrences far and nearby. Media, particularly in form of print media has been used to spread awareness since couple of centuries. During the second world war, radio played a very significant role in the dissemination of information. nowadays, internet is playing a pivotal role as news agent. Media, today provides information about new legislations, stock exchange rates, exhibitions, fairs, and even prices of basic commodities. It is rightly said that media today performs “ the role of a daily tribune and a teacher”.

Through dissemination of information, media has increased awareness and educated general mass. this education has been both formal and informal. Formal education has been imparted by the broadcast of lectures from learned scholars. particularly, virtual university lectures have been used to educate individuals in academic curriculum. Through a number of channels namely discovery and national geographic, people are also being educated about new discoveries , inventions, traditions, customs and rituals of various places of the globe. Today, a person living in Pakistan is fully aware of the common rules, regulations and culture of America and western countries. This feat has been performed by none other than media.

All work and not play makes jack a dull boy”. media, has even taken care of this need of the individuals. When an individual gets fatigued after monotonous daily routine, he feels fresh and relaxed after watching television or reading newspaper or even surfing through internet. Media, with its dazzle and glamour acts as a social circus. it entertains individuals through music, movies, dramas, morning shows, catwalks and even dance shows. It keeps its viewers informed about the recent events in the lives of celebrities, reviews, movie releases etc.

The impact of media cannot be denied in any way. it has its affect on social, political, cultural aspects of an individuals life. in fact, it is like a god father from whom individuals seek inspiration. Media mobilizes public opinion to such a degree that it is the criterion or touchstone for the success of individuals and organizations. According to many sources, arab spring, the event which swept across north Africa and middle east and changed the political scenario of the countries was driven by media.

Distances have been reduced by the media. today, a person living in any part of the world is well informed of the events, incidents, cultural norms, political practices, legislations etc of any other part of the world. As a result, an extensive world has been reduced to a “global village”.

Nowadays, media has been hailed for its role as a watch dog. It keeps a check on the practices of the successive governments and informs people of the changes. Not only does it propagates information, but also criticizes and provides suitable suggestions. it broadcasts opinions of critics and useful remedies suggested by experts.

Media advocates opinion of the general public. It prints and broadcasts the view of different sections of the society. it also draws attention towards injustices ,corruption, terrorism, superstitions prevailing in the society. Through the broadcast of mukhtaran mai incident or the brutal killing of young boys in Sialkot , media has highlighted the plight of the victims. similarly, rental power plant cases or haj scam have also been given the much needed publicity to expose the perpetrators of the crime.

Media has also played an important role in promulgating democracy. The fact is, free media is regarded as an essential to democracy. Democracy is the government of people, whereas media is the opinion of people. It acts as a messenger between the ruling class and the ruled. its importance is that of a impulse in the nervous system i.e it relays the issues, grievances and sufferings of the general public to the government. Democracy is like a plant which needs the nutrient of media to flourish and flower. Therefore, democracy cannot develop roots in a society where freedom of media is curtailed.

During election campaigns, political parties hire the services of mass media in form of advertisements, interviews to forward their memorandum to the voters. Generally, political parties use it as a weapon to alter the opinion of public in their favour. Nowadays, media acts as a de facto judge in the elections. Its declaration of success of any political party often turns out to be true. Recently, in the may 11 elections of Pakistan, geo and a number of other satellite tv channels declared results before the official statement.

Media shares an interrelated relationship with economic growth of a country. it keeps the viewers and readers informed of during businesses, real estate prices, ups and downs in stock markets and also prices of daily commodities. It also provides employment to a large number of countrymen. advertising, today has developed into a million dollar industry. Multinational companies have a separate branch dealing with advertising their products and services to the mass audience. media projects a positive image of the country among the comity of nations in order to attract foreign investment. In addition, in Pakistan there are a number of tv channels which provide timely and useful suggestions regarding agriculture, forestry, fishing and other sectors which are a source of revenue generation for the country.

Even in religious development, media is not far behind. It attempts to inculcate religious beliefs into the audience through the printing and broadcasting views and interviews of religious scholars. People, today are mired with problems that require solution with reference to the contemporary relations. These solutions are remedies are provided by religious experts through channels like madni channel, qtv and programes like aalim online, aalim aur aalim and many others. Religious events and days like shabbarat , shabmairaj, ramzan , eid, muharam etc are also celebrated with religious festivity with the help of media. On such days, religious scholars highlight the importance of the day in religious context and also suggest ibadah of the day.

Media has also played a pivotal role in bridging the gulf between several sects. in the past, there were conflicts between people belonging to different sects. the fact is religious scholars have been using the platform of media have tried to integrate religions and put an end to differences in between.

Nevertheless, it may be rightly said that “all is not green”. where media has a brighter side, it also has a darker side. media has been in censured by many quarters of the society. Youth spends countless hours before the “idiot box”, watching matches or interviews of the celebrities. Women and young girls often waste their precious time watching meaningless dramas, morning shows, makeup courses etc.

The sage men of the society blame media for the deterioration of the social setup of the country. joint family system, which was the very essence of a subcontinent household has lost its past glory. People do not communicate with each other physically, rather they use tweets or facebook comments to exchange their views. Survey conducted showed that 80% women as opposed to 72% men are dependent on facebook. The young children, who in past use to spend their times with their grandparents, now stay glued to the cartoon network.

Nevertheless, a large section of the society opines that many tv channels, in a bid to increase their viewership, often stoop to a level where they use sensationalism, vulgarity and indecency. this culminates in the moral degradation of the society. Particularly youth, for its innocence, becames an easy victim to this depravity. Due to the development in IT, now almost every household has an access to computers and internet. according to statistics, 34% of the world population are internet users. These individuals moved by curiousity are easily lured into the world of pornography and x rated movies.

Yellow journalism has overpowered all the positive attributes of the media. media has been condemned for creating propaganda, rumors, slander only to increase or maintain their popularity. Such sort of cheap publicity tactics only help to deteriorate the image of media and cause harm to the society. For e.g veena malik scandal or malik riaz scandal have been highlighted over and over again just for the vested interests of the media men.

Government, time and again has reprimanded media for tarnishing the image of country among the comity of nations. Lately, media has been criticized for aggravating petty issues. Through excessive limelight to poverty, strikes, corruption, terrorism, violence against women, etc media has played a crucial role in the world wide negative image of the country.

Media diverts attention from the reality by creating an illusion. It shows average women wearing beautiful dresses, using latest gadgets and whizzing across the roads in luxury cars. this creates a dissatisfaction among women for their present life. When these women fail to realize their wishes, they become psychologically distressed affecting the whole household.
The unprecedented increase in the rate of crime is also associated with media. it is believed that media often glamourises the role of criminals projecting them as heroes and macho men desired by every woman. such a portrayal of crime, attracts youth and they are caught in a web of crime like a fly.

In such circumstances, it is imperative that media should realize its shortcomings and take all the necessary steps to address them. it should shed yellow journalism and switch to responsible journalism. It should act as watch dog and not play into the hands of the stakeholders.

Similarly, all the tv channels should agree upon a decent code of broadcast. They should not infringe it in any circumstances and particularly not in the pursuit of momentous materialistic goals. The code should be directed at the education of the general mass with respect to the ethics, cultural and moral values. nationalism should be highlighted whereas sectarian, provincial differences should be suffocated to death.

Media should collaborate with the government and help improve the status of country in domestic and international affairs. instead of just highlighting the shortcomings and weaknesses of the government, it should focus on remedial measures. This will be in the best interest of both the country and the countrymen. Foreigners, too, will be attracted to visit Pakistan and this will boost tourism and transport industry. Many will also want to invest in the country, which will nourish our economy.

To conclude with, it may rightly be said that media plays a very significant role in the contemporary world and its affairs. It is important for the development of the individual, community and the society. No sector of any country, tourism, agriculture, education, politics can blossom to its full glory without the collaboration and cooperation of media. Media for the contemporary world is like fertilizer to the crop. though crops can sustain without fertilizers, but their optimum growth is possible only in the presence of it. However, media has been disapproved for its negative portrayal of government which has affected the world wide perception of the country and its citizens. Similarly, through yellow journalism it has affected the social fabric of the society. Now is the time that media should take its responsibility as a watch dog seriously .

IV. Conclusion


“ALLAH only forbids you from those who fight you due to religion and expel you from your homes and aid in expulsion-forbids you from making allies with them”
(Quran)


Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance and forbearance. It enjoins its adherents to abide the lofty principles and to abstain from committing aggression and violence. The religion of peace entails rights to all living beings and specifically all human beings, muslims or non muslims. It is a mere travesty of reality that islam, today, has been portrayed as an agent instigating muslims to commit acts of violence against non-muslims. On the contrary, islam has granted them rights similar to those of muslims in an Islamic state. There is no doubt, that islam has restricted the non-muslims in certain matters, but that too, is not to discriminate against them rather, they are introduced in the best interest of the majority muslims.

The word minority is not acceptable in Islamic jurisprudence as the term was never used by the muslim scholars. This term came into use, much later, by the introduction of nationalism. The “ism” was aimed at the division of humans on the basis of race, colour, ethnicity, geographical location, linguistics and even religion. Therefore the term “minority” was introduced to indicate a group opposite to the wider “majority”. In islam, the term dhimmah is used for the non-muslim minorities.

Muslim jurists have classified the non-muslims into two types- ahlal bait and mushriq. The minorities residing within the confines of an Islamic state into dhimmas, muahid and mustamin. The term mustamin is used for the non-muslims who visit an Islamic state for some time and have permision of temporary stay only. Mu’ahid are the non-muslim individuals who have entered into some sort of a contract, pact or agreement with the muslims. Dhimmas are the non-muslim minorities who live in an Islamic state and pay jizya.

Islam has ensured many rights and privildges to the non-muslim minorities. Perhaps, the right that is most significant is the liberty of belief. This right has been granted to them by ALLAH himself :

“ there is no compulsion in religion. No doubt, the virtous path has become clear from the erring..” surah al-baqarah

Islam acknowledges the rights of non-muslims to practice their faith. This means that a non-muslim cannot be criticized over his creed in any way. Similarly, minorities also reserve the right to practice their rituals and rites within the confines of their places of worship and homes. In addition, they also have the right to protect themselves against religious discrimination. Islam does not encourages the muslims to use force or coercive measures to propagate their faith. It is mentioned in the sacrad QURAN

“ O Prophet! Invite mankind to the way of ALLAH in a way through fair preaching and argue with them in a way that is better”.

This was also expressed by the holy prophet in his letter to the people of yemen in the following words:

and the one among the jews and the christain who becomes muslim, becomes one of them, enjoying similar rights and those of the jewish and christains who remain so. do not force them to abandon their religion”


once a christain delegation came to visit holy prophet (P.B.U.H) from habsha. Holy prophet (P.B.U.H) made arrangements for them to stay at masjid-i-nabvi and extended hospitality to them. He said
“ these are dignified men, hence, they are treated in a respectable way”

At conquest of makkah, when holy prophet (P.B.U.H) and his troops were victorious in the battle . He ordered his muslim troops not to kill innocent men, women and children and announced general amnesty for all and did not force them to give up their religion. The non-muslims were so pleased with the attitude that they entered the fold of islam in flocks.


Islam has ensured the protection of the life and honour of non-muslims. They also enjoy the right to permanent settlement in an Islamic state. Holy prophet (P.B.U.H) said

“ whoever kills a dhimmi, will not smell the paradise”

This protection is not only aimed at defending a non-muslim from physical injur only. In fact, it implies that, a non muslim minority should not be a target of back biting and slandar for any unjust reason. Just as it is morally wrong to speak ill of a muslim brother without any valid reason, so is it wrong to backbite against a non-muslim minority.

Muslims are ordained by ALLAH and his apostle (Holy prophet), against commitment of injustice to a non-muslim minority. Holy prophet ( p.b.u.h) said ,
“ whoever wrongs a contracting man, diminishes his rights, forces him to work beyond his capacity and takes away his thing without his consent, I shall plead for him on the day of judgement”


The life of holy prophet (p.b.u.h) has many such examples where he abstained from commitment of injustice against the non-muslim minorities such as the incident of the killing of abu Abdullah ansari at Khyber. It was expected that one of the jews had killed him. However, there was no evidence to support the accusation. Therefore, holy prophet (P.B.U.H) did not punish the jews and only asked them to make an oath.

Once a man was brought to the court of hazrat ali, the fourth caliph. The man had killed a non-muslim. All evidences supported the accusation. The caliph ordered that the muslim man be killed by way of qisas. At the point, the brothers of the murderer intervened and offered blood money to the brother of the killed and convinced him to pardon the murderer. When caliph ali heard of it, he called up the relative of the murdered man and asked him if he had been forced to pardon. The man replied, that since killing would not bring back his brother and, that the money offered to him would be beneficial to the family of the murdered man so he had forgiven the murdered. Caliph ali supported his decision and announced,

“ the blood of a non-muslim brother is like our blood and his blood money is our blood money”.


Non-muslim minorities also enjoy the right to privacy in their personal matters. No one is allowed to enter their homes or interfere in their matters without their permission. The right is granted to them based on the assumption that they are human beings and are entitled to the right of confidentiality regarding their issues.

Islam also assures the protection of the funds of non-muslim minorities. Muslims have been forbidden from taking or seizing their funds through theft, usurpation or commitment of injustice. This was also illustrated by the holy prophet (p.b.u.h) in his treatment extended to the people of najran,

“ the people of najran and surrounding areas are under the protection of ALLAH and his apostle, their funds, religion, trade and everything small or big will remain safe”


Islam has guaranteed the protection of political rights for the non-muslim minorities. This includes the right to express views, to dissent, right to vote and the right to political representation. No muslim has the right to curb the political liberties granted to the non-muslim minorities. However, non- muslims, too are forbidden from collusion with enemies.

Non-muslim minorities enjoy the priviledge of being judged according to their respective civil laws relating to marriage, inheritance and eating. Islamic history is full of examples where different faith communities adjudged according to their respective religious systems. Minorities are entitled to the right to set up courts for governing their civil laws and for acts considered sins in their religion.

Once, some jews in madinah were considering punishment for a man accused of commiting adultery, they approached holy prophet for advice. Holy prophet asked them to provide him a copy of torah and asked them to read out the respective chapter. The punishment was awarded in light of the jewish laws.

On another occasion, a christain delegation came to visit holy prophet (p.b.u.h). holy prophet (p.b.u.h) made them stay at masjid-i-nabvi and even permitted them to worship their according to their faith. They did so, as graciously as they were permitted.

Umar bin abdul aziz, a muslim caliph found it hard to allow the non-muslims to practice their beliefs. He refered the matter to imam basri and asked him,
“ how is it that the wisely guarded caliphs left non-muslims as they are marrying close relatives, eating pork and drinking wine”.

imam basri replied,

“ this is because they paid jizya that they should be left to practice what they believe in and you follow Islamic principles, and do not invent new things”.


Minorities are at liberty to adopt any reasonable and decent profession to earn livelihood. However, they are barred from working in political offices. This is not to discriminate against them, rather, it is aimed at the best interest of the wider muslim-majority.

Islam ensures the fortification and security of the non-muslim minorities. They are under no obligation to serve in the defence of the country. Nevertheless, this service is to be compensated by the payment of jizya. Even islam has laid down certain guiding principles for the collection of jizya. If the non-muslim minorities participate with the muslims in military service then they are not obliged to pay jizya. Similarly, if the country fails to protect the basic and civil rights of the minorities, jizya should be returned.

Like the muslims, non-muslim minority is also entitled to a share in baitul mal if they fulfil the criteria i.e poor, disable and old. Abu ubayd narrated in his book that holy prophet(p.b.u.h) paid a jewish family from baitul maal and the practice continued even after the sad demise of the prophet(p.b.u.h). once, umar bin abdul aziz was on his way to Syria, when he passed by some christain lepers. He summoned his men and asked them that the christains should be provided from zakah and ensured monetary assistance on sustained basis.

Islam has granted rights to the non-minorities, not enjoyed by any minority community in any part of the world. But as barnard shaw rightly said “ liberty means responsibility, that’s why most men dread it”. Non-muslim minorities do not enjoy absolute rights. They are forbidden from speaking malicious or acting in vile manner against, islam, ALLAH or his prophet. Similarly, they are refrained from approaching a muslim woman for zinah or even marriage. They are required. At the same time, if a clash of interest is found between islam and the minorities’s religion, islam law is given preference. For e.g non-muslims are not permitted to preach their religion in an Islamic law, though they consider it an obligation to do so. Islam also enjoins non-muslims to wear a zunnar indicating their faith.

Ergo, it may be concluded that islam has granted non-muslims all the necessary liberties. They are ensured protection of life, privacy, honour, political rights, social rights and even religious rights. Quran and sunnah , the primary sources of Islamic law, time and again have enjoined the adherents to adopt a moderate and fair attitude towards non-muslims. They are commanded to base their relationship on tolerance, justice, honesty and respect .On the other hand, non-muslims are also required to reciprocate the sentiments by abstaining from indulging in anti-islamic propaganda and paying jizya religiously. All those who malign islam by calling it parochial in vision and a religion of fanaticism, extremism and militancy are, basically, those who are prohibited from indulging in unruly behaviour.

“There is no energy crisis only the crisis of ignorance.”
Buckminster Fuller

Introduction:
Energy is the backbone of the country,blood in the veins of national life and factor which keep the life going on.Energy infuses life into human and business activities.It make things possible for functioning in a constant way.It allows socioeconomic development and prosperity.
Energy is the heart to the body of the nation life is not possible without sufficient blood running up and down the veins pumped by the heart round the clock.Its failure halts all the activities of life.Pakistan is marred by energy crisis inspite of abundant natural resources.The country has failed to utilise resources for its industry and economy .The current energy crisis has capped the economic growth of country.It has disturbed the peace and order of country as reflected in violent public protest against the long hours power shortages.It has crippled the economy.The transport sector is also on verge of annihilation due to shortage of CNG(compressed natural gas).However Pakistan can deal with its energy crisis ,first of all taking quick measures to build dams and maintenance and up gradation of old plants.Completion of IP(Iran- Pakistan )pipeline project and implementation of Thar coal Gasification project on war footings.Long term planning and investment in renewable energy resources like wind ,solar,bio gas,energy from municipal wastes tidal and geothermal energy.

To conclude the energy crisis face multifaceted challenges.It is result of years of mismanagement and poor planning.The situation become worst now.Due to untapped natural resources,under utilization of generating capacity,imbalance of per capita growth and energy supply,Pakistan energy sector is unable to meet the demands of energy sector.It has disastrous social ,economic,political repercussions for Pakistan.The time has come our political leaders should leave the petty politics of non issues and concentrate on critical issues.The policy makers at Islamabd should realize this issue more than violence,sectarianism and terrorism.Energy crises crippled the economic growth which in turn is essential for the sovereignty of the country.There should be balance between demand and supply of energy.If we follow the optimum energy policy and utilise our abundant natural resources and replace the furnace oil with cheaper gas from Middle east then our energy crisis will start reviving. Recentaly Punjab government has also made agreements with Chinese companies for solar penal implantation and again starting the Nandipur Power Project.As Punjab is the largest province and it contains a lot of industries which will be supplied with required energy and Industrial growth will be boosted.Recent government is also establishing Nuclear Power Plant with the help of china.
Developed world differentiate itself from the rest because it has been able to harmonise its supply and demand managing both at the same time.It is hoped every effort should be utilized to solve the energy crisis on war footings.It is hoped that change of new government will not merely be change of faces but it will bring better political, economic social and environmental changes .A prosperous, self reliant ,politically stable future has now become the destiny of the people of Pakistan.
“Hope does not come from calculating whether the good news is winning out over the bad. It is simply choice to take action.”

Media is a lethal weapon. it is more powerful than the nukes. the impact of media in today’s world is of paramount importance. media has the ability to transform day into night and night into day. it can change a hero into villain and vice versa. One cannot imagine the world as we know it today without media. Media has altered the very base of information sharing.

Mass media is defined as diverse technologies used to communicate information to the general mass. Malcolm X said,
media is the most powerful entity on earth”.
Mass media employs a number of agents namely, print media, electronic media and now more recently social media. As mcluhan very rightly identified that a “global village” has been transformed into a “global city” by media.

The primary objective of media is to inform its audience of the recent occurrences far and nearby. Media, particularly in form of print media has been used to spread awareness since couple of centuries. During the second world war, radio played a very significant role in the dissemination of information. nowadays, internet is playing a pivotal role as news agent. Media, today provides information about new legislations, stock exchange rates, exhibitions, fairs, and even prices of basic commodities. It is rightly said that media today performs “ the role of a daily tribune and a teacher”.

Through dissemination of information, media has increased awareness and educated general mass. this education has been both formal and informal. Formal education has been imparted by the broadcast of lectures from learned scholars. particularly, virtual university lectures have been used to educate individuals in academic curriculum. Through a number of channels namely discovery and national geographic, people are also being educated about new discoveries , inventions, traditions, customs and rituals of various places of the globe. Today, a person living in Pakistan is fully aware of the common rules, regulations and culture of America and western countries. This feat has been performed by none other than media.

All work and not play makes jack a dull boy”. media, has even taken care of this need of the individuals. When an individual gets fatigued after monotonous daily routine, he feels fresh and relaxed after watching television or reading newspaper or even surfing through internet. Media, with its dazzle and glamour acts as a social circus. it entertains individuals through music, movies, dramas, morning shows, catwalks and even dance shows. It keeps its viewers informed about the recent events in the lives of celebrities, reviews, movie releases etc.

The impact of media cannot be denied in any way. it has its affect on social, political, cultural aspects of an individuals life. in fact, it is like a god father from whom individuals seek inspiration. Media mobilizes public opinion to such a degree that it is the criterion or touchstone for the success of individuals and organizations. According to many sources, arab spring, the event which swept across north Africa and middle east and changed the political scenario of the countries was driven by media.

Distances have been reduced by the media. today, a person living in any part of the world is well informed of the events, incidents, cultural norms, political practices, legislations etc of any other part of the world. As a result, an extensive world has been reduced to a “global village”.

Nowadays, media has been hailed for its role as a watch dog. It keeps a check on the practices of the successive governments and informs people of the changes. Not only does it propagates information, but also criticizes and provides suitable suggestions. it broadcasts opinions of critics and useful remedies suggested by experts.

Media advocates opinion of the general public. It prints and broadcasts the view of different sections of the society. it also draws attention towards injustices ,corruption, terrorism, superstitions prevailing in the society. Through the broadcast of mukhtaran mai incident or the brutal killing of young boys in Sialkot , media has highlighted the plight of the victims. similarly, rental power plant cases or haj scam have also been given the much needed publicity to expose the perpetrators of the crime.

Media has also played an important role in promulgating democracy. The fact is, free media is regarded as an essential to democracy. Democracy is the government of people, whereas media is the opinion of people. It acts as a messenger between the ruling class and the ruled. its importance is that of a impulse in the nervous system i.e it relays the issues, grievances and sufferings of the general public to the government. Democracy is like a plant which needs the nutrient of media to flourish and flower. Therefore, democracy cannot develop roots in a society where freedom of media is curtailed.

During election campaigns, political parties hire the services of mass media in form of advertisements, interviews to forward their memorandum to the voters. Generally, political parties use it as a weapon to alter the opinion of public in their favour. Nowadays, media acts as a de facto judge in the elections. Its declaration of success of any political party often turns out to be true. Recently, in the may 11 elections of Pakistan, geo and a number of other satellite tv channels declared results before the official statement.

Media shares an interrelated relationship with economic growth of a country. it keeps the viewers and readers informed of during businesses, real estate prices, ups and downs in stock markets and also prices of daily commodities. It also provides employment to a large number of countrymen. advertising, today has developed into a million dollar industry. Multinational companies have a separate branch dealing with advertising their products and services to the mass audience. media projects a positive image of the country among the comity of nations in order to attract foreign investment. In addition, in Pakistan there are a number of tv channels which provide timely and useful suggestions regarding agriculture, forestry, fishing and other sectors which are a source of revenue generation for the country.

Even in religious development, media is not far behind. It attempts to inculcate religious beliefs into the audience through the printing and broadcasting views and interviews of religious scholars. People, today are mired with problems that require solution with reference to the contemporary relations. These solutions are remedies are provided by religious experts through channels like madni channel, qtv and programes like aalim online, aalim aur aalim and many others. Religious events and days like shabbarat , shabmairaj, ramzan , eid, muharam etc are also celebrated with religious festivity with the help of media. On such days, religious scholars highlight the importance of the day in religious context and also suggest ibadah of the day.

Media has also played a pivotal role in bridging the gulf between several sects. in the past, there were conflicts between people belonging to different sects. the fact is religious scholars have been using the platform of media have tried to integrate religions and put an end to differences in between.

Nevertheless, it may be rightly said that “all is not green”. where media has a brighter side, it also has a darker side. media has been in censured by many quarters of the society. Youth spends countless hours before the “idiot box”, watching matches or interviews of the celebrities. Women and young girls often waste their precious time watching meaningless dramas, morning shows, makeup courses etc.

The sage men of the society blame media for the deterioration of the social setup of the country. joint family system, which was the very essence of a subcontinent household has lost its past glory. People do not communicate with each other physically, rather they use tweets or facebook comments to exchange their views. Survey conducted showed that 80% women as opposed to 72% men are dependent on facebook. The young children, who in past use to spend their times with their grandparents, now stay glued to the cartoon network.

Nevertheless, a large section of the society opines that many tv channels, in a bid to increase their viewership, often stoop to a level where they use sensationalism, vulgarity and indecency. this culminates in the moral degradation of the society. Particularly youth, for its innocence, becames an easy victim to this depravity. Due to the development in IT, now almost every household has an access to computers and internet. according to statistics, 34% of the world population are internet users. These individuals moved by curiousity are easily lured into the world of pornography and x rated movies.

Yellow journalism has overpowered all the positive attributes of the media. media has been condemned for creating propaganda, rumors, slander only to increase or maintain their popularity. Such sort of cheap publicity tactics only help to deteriorate the image of media and cause harm to the society. For e.g veena malik scandal or malik riaz scandal have been highlighted over and over again just for the vested interests of the media men.

Government, time and again has reprimanded media for tarnishing the image of country among the comity of nations. Lately, media has been criticized for aggravating petty issues. Through excessive limelight to poverty, strikes, corruption, terrorism, violence against women, etc media has played a crucial role in the world wide negative image of the country.

Media diverts attention from the reality by creating an illusion. It shows average women wearing beautiful dresses, using latest gadgets and whizzing across the roads in luxury cars. this creates a dissatisfaction among women for their present life. When these women fail to realize their wishes, they become psychologically distressed affecting the whole household.
The unprecedented increase in the rate of crime is also associated with media. it is believed that media often glamourises the role of criminals projecting them as heroes and macho men desired by every woman. such a portrayal of crime, attracts youth and they are caught in a web of crime like a fly.

In such circumstances, it is imperative that media should realize its shortcomings and take all the necessary steps to address them. it should shed yellow journalism and switch to responsible journalism. It should act as watch dog and not play into the hands of the stakeholders.

Similarly, all the tv channels should agree upon a decent code of broadcast. They should not infringe it in any circumstances and particularly not in the pursuit of momentous materialistic goals. The code should be directed at the education of the general mass with respect to the ethics, cultural and moral values. nationalism should be highlighted whereas sectarian, provincial differences should be suffocated to death.

Media should collaborate with the government and help improve the status of country in domestic and international affairs. instead of just highlighting the shortcomings and weaknesses of the government, it should focus on remedial measures. This will be in the best interest of both the country and the countrymen. Foreigners, too, will be attracted to visit Pakistan and this will boost tourism and transport industry. Many will also want to invest in the country, which will nourish our economy.

To conclude with, it may rightly be said that media plays a very significant role in the contemporary world and its affairs. It is important for the development of the individual, community and the society. No sector of any country, tourism, agriculture, education, politics can blossom to its full glory without the collaboration and cooperation of media. Media for the contemporary world is like fertilizer to the crop. though crops can sustain without fertilizers, but their optimum growth is possible only in the presence of it. However, media has been disapproved for its negative portrayal of government which has affected the world wide perception of the country and its citizens. Similarly, through yellow journalism it has affected the social fabric of the society. Now is the time that media should take its responsibility as a watch dog seriously .
You have not given suggestion that how media can play a completely positive role. Apart from that your essay is up to the mark. Though suggestion is not required by topic but it is very necessary to mention suggestions to make it a complete attempted essay.

“There is no energy crisis only the crisis of ignorance.”
Buckminster Fuller

Introduction:
Energy is the backbone of the country,blood in the veins of national life and factor which keep the life going on.Energy infuses life into human and business activities.It make things possible for functioning in a constant way.It allows socioeconomic development and prosperity.
Energy is the heart to the body of the nation life is not possible without sufficient blood running up and down the veins pumped by the heart round the clock.Its failure halts all the activities of life.Pakistan is marred by energy crisis inspite of abundant natural resources.The country has failed to utilise resources for its industry and economy .The current energy crisis has capped the economic growth of country.It has disturbed the peace and order of country as reflected in violent public protest against the long hours power shortages.It has crippled the economy.The transport sector is also on verge of annihilation due to shortage of CNG(compressed natural gas).However Pakistan can deal with its energy crisis ,first of all taking quick measures to build dams and maintenance and up gradation of old plants.Completion of IP(Iran- Pakistan )pipeline project and implementation of Thar coal Gasification project on war footings.Long term planning and investment in renewable energy resources like wind ,solar,bio gas,energy from municipal wastes tidal and geothermal energy.

To conclude the energy crisis face multifaceted challenges.It is result of years of mismanagement and poor planning.The situation become worst now.Due to untapped natural resources,under utilization of generating capacity,imbalance of per capita growth and energy supply,Pakistan energy sector is unable to meet the demands of energy sector.It has disastrous social ,economic,political repercussions for Pakistan.The time has come our political leaders should leave the petty politics of non issues and concentrate on critical issues.The policy makers at Islamabd should realize this issue more than violence,sectarianism and terrorism.Energy crises crippled the economic growth which in turn is essential for the sovereignty of the country.There should be balance between demand and supply of energy.If we follow the optimum energy policy and utilise our abundant natural resources and replace the furnace oil with cheaper gas from Middle east then our energy crisis will start reviving. Recentaly Punjab government has also made agreements with Chinese companies for solar penal implantation and again starting the Nandipur Power Project.As Punjab is the largest province and it contains a lot of industries which will be supplied with required energy and Industrial growth will be boosted.Recent government is also establishing Nuclear Power Plant with the help of china.
Developed world differentiate itself from the rest because it has been able to harmonise its supply and demand managing both at the same time.It is hoped every effort should be utilized to solve the energy crisis on war footings.It is hoped that change of new government will not merely be change of faces but it will bring better political, economic social and environmental changes .A prosperous, self reliant ,politically stable future has now become the destiny of the people of Pakistan.
“Hope does not come from calculating whether the good news is winning out over the bad. It is simply choice to take action.”

1. Introduction:
Getting education is the basic right of human being which has been urged in every religion and every political system. There is no any official definition of Education but one can describe it as “to get knowledge about different fields of life”. Memorizing facts and figures merely is not education. Education enhances our character and tells us how to live in this crucial world. Education can be termed as an ocean of knowledge, its one tendency that how much water one can drink.

We should start pondering over the divergence of education in our state, so we can improve our Pakistan in every manner. It is clear that Education is the only commodity which broadens our mind, shows us the right path, teaches us to follow our prestigious religion, chaperones us and makes us behave like a human being.

INTRODUCTION
Pakistan is facing many problems. But the problem which has affected adversely is energy crisis. The consequences of energy crisis are very adverse, our economy has been weakening since a decade. Industries are being closed. Besides, people are becoming jobless and the rate unemployment is going upward day by day. Apart from that, the agriculture sector is considered a backbone support for our economy. But it is is also going bad to worst condition. More or less impacts on our society has been imposed by energy crisis. Many people are unable to move the wheel of their activities smoothly due to lack of energy. Because, most of the daily work are more or less based upon energy. For instance, a business man can not perform his duty effectively due to shut down of the factories. Similarly, students can not do their home works, and even they can not do their studies into schools due to the usual loadshedding. Therefore, it is the need of hour to solve energy crisis. However, the current government is very serious to sort out this crisis. But, nothing has been achieved. However, this problem can be solved with the effective strategy plan. The government has to be free from corruption, mutual cooperation and coordination among the politicians can do miracles in solving energy crisis.



CONCLUSION
To the sum up, Pakistan is facing energy crisis. As a matter of fact, it is a global problem. But it is the need of hour to control it as soon as possible, from the above suggestion, the energy crisis can really be sorted out. As this is the 21st centrally nothing is impossible. If honest leadership take considerable part in solving this issue, the problem can be sorted out withing two years. Undoubted, the current government is doing commendable job. But with this, the coordination and cooperation of the masses is also the need of hour. This is our country, we are the best nation as said by the Quid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. We can do miracles, but there is also the need of mutual cooperation and coordination. Apart from that, every citizen has to perform his/her duty to save our country from the crisis. Though, energy crisis is affecting our lives, our country economically, socially and psychologically. But it is the crisis for the time being, however, with the help of above suggestions, the day will come, there would no energy crisis nor its adverse consequences.


Please pin point my mistakes...

Thanks in anticipation...
