The persistence of massive corruption, a lack of accountability, departmental clashes, constitutional crisis, and a deteriorating law and order situation, particularly in the police department, are ample indicators of the country's poor governance. Pakistan has been engulfed by opinionated volatility and turbulence, resulting in the formation of a dark crevice in the country's economic growth and development. Good governance cannot be respected while there is opinionated disarray, a politician's appetite for power, and an unreformed Police Department. The current police system in Pakistan was designed by the British in 1861 to address a more diverse set of social, administrative, and political realities than the country currently portrays. Numerous national and international experts have concluded that colonial architecture is unsuitable for Pakistan. Pakistan requires comprehensive police reforms as a necessary component of the national framework, regardless of which party is in power. The public interest in reclaiming law enforcement's value has never been greater than it is today. There is growing recognition that the assignment requires concentrated effort. There can be no expectation of momentous police reforms without a continuing corporation and partnership edifice among the major players involved. A progressive and unwavering political leadership, a towering altitude of public support, and an enthused and well-led general public that demands higher standards of police performance are all necessary components of change and good governance.
The present study covered two different social institutions of Pakistan’s society and their effects on the media and government relations, i.e., politics and economy. The study included problems in polity and its effects on media-government relations; the economic developments and impasses and their possible consequences and effects on media-government relations. The research was qualitative quantitative in nature and descriptive method is employed to conduct the research. The findings were that the government of previous regime had a weak structure, and the functioning of the institutes was inefficient too. The relation of the government with the media, was interest based as media’s practicality depends on its economy and the economy comes in the forms of advertisements. Media’s effect is great and cannot be ignored; it shapes up the public opinion. The research recommends that the use of better technology should be introduced at cheaper rates for objective reporting. Key Words: Media-government, Economy, Politics, Pakistan, Structural- Functionalist.
The vast majority of children spend the significant amount of time using media devices in order to gratify their social needs and to gain information and entertainment, but its impact on young children is certainly undeniable. Keeping this perspective in mind, children are required to be attentive to use media wisely and appropriately and this can be possible by providing them proper teaching of media that is called “Media Literacy” which is unfortunately an “alien concept” in Pakistan. This study conducts survey with the primary school going children between the age group of 8-13 years. The findings suggested that children have an easy access to different media both at school and at home from very early age. The only way to empower children explore their media world positively is to impart the media literacy skills to them.
The introduction of Islam in China happened through two routes; the southeast ton led to Canton and latter was from the northwest, Silk Road. Since the 7th century, Islam has been practiced in China. Its evolution spanning over 1300 years, it now stands in the league of the five major faith-systems in the country. During the course of its growth in China, it has branched out into numerous Islamic schools and sects with distinct practices and doctrinal beliefs. Notwithstanding the vibrant cultural diversity, Islamic identity remains bedrock for the Chinese Muslim. The phenomenal economic rise of China and development boom has attracted a great number of local and foreign Muslims who have settled in the south eastern coast and pursue commercial activities. The settlement and presence of such a large Muslim population has a great religious impact on eastern Chinese cities. The golden Islamic value of harmony and brotherhood lays down guiding principles for the Chinese Muslims. The unifying forces of Islam provide them with an ideological framework seminal to establishment of a peaceful, prosperous and harmonious Muslim society in China. Keywords: Islam, Muslims, contemporary China.
This research aims to enhance knowledge of children’s media usage on daily basis, their parents’ perspectives and mediation regarding their children media usage activities in Islamabad, Pakistan. A better understanding of the experiences of children’s media usage provides the necessary context for all the stakeholders to judge whether children use media devices critically or they get more exposure towards harmful impact. The finding suggests that with the growing possibilities of media among children, to control or restrict their media related activities is not sufficient rather children need to be prepared to critically analyze the media. Thus, this study proposes the need of media literacy for children empowerment at primary school level. Therefore, this study can contribute the literature in terms of what mediation strategies are adopted by the parents in Islamabad, Pakistan to monitor their children’s media related activities at home.
