Sir: We are now living in an age of globalization. Technology has become more ubiquitous. Media is playing a central role defining and shaping our lives. It is spreading awareness regarding important issues that were not discussed as openly as now. But despite all its benefits, media has also been involved in some wrongdoings. Many morning shows are diverting people’s attention from real issues to trivial things that have nothing to do even with our quotidian life. The format of morning shows is out-dated and is entirely focused on ratings and sensationalism. Many of these shows rely on glorifying dangerous fantasies and unnecessary rituals of marriage. The matter should be addressed. TV should play a positive role, it has an immense responsibility upon itself to reform the social norms and call out wrong practices and concepts.
