How media should act for a better society

With the introduction of the television to the srilankan community, it has affected it in many ways. First it was a great experience for people get information in both visual and audio forms. But with the time, It has caused many more problems than what it did for the well being of the society.

First of all it has just polluted the instincts about the life and the art if the people. If you take most of the tele dramas, films, advertisements, reality programs or even kids programs, they are just nuts. I mean there is nothing a person can take from those visual effects for the development of his life. Those things will only rooted the hidden temptations of people about sex, chatting, teen feelings and many more dull things which would not help people by any means. Showing a model for a soap or shampoo advertisement is very much acceptable. But when they are showing half nude model for a tuition class or academic institute is not good.

The worst thing is these tele dramas. They just killing everyone's time without giving any advice or reflection about the true life of people. They just shows the lives of dream girls and dreams cities, which will not be true forever. Some of the worst things that those tele dramas showing to the society are


  1. Love affairs of teenagers which are very well supported by these authors
  2. main roles without any core values of a human being 
  3. few cute models who showing there actual nature through very ordinary acts

Above are only few things these tele dramas are giving to the society. There are many more.

How should media act for a better society?

There are not much things to do by the rulers of these media organizations to guide the society to the better path.

  1. Think what would have happened to you if you have seen these things at your child age
  2. Think that your son or daughter is looking these tele dramas and advertisements
  3. Understand the responsibility of your job towards the society
  4. Finally, Remember that you will not take any money or property with you when you leave this world.

I hope that if the media rulers can adopt to above rules, then this society would be a better place to live tomorrow than today.
