Gender and Media











MonpuraIn the post “Dress up of Male and Female Actor” I talked about how the dress up of a female actor ruins our tradition.  After that blog my teacher asked me some questions. These questions are “Who is responsible for these types of portrayal? Isn’t the general public responsible too because they are the ones purchasing and supporting the artists?”  Yes, some general public also responsible for it. However, if we reflect the past we can see that past’s movie were more demandable than now. Many old movies we can enjoy with whole family, but at present it is vary shameful to watch movie with our parents for the nakedly representation of female actor. Some lower minded people appreciate those movies, not all general people. There are some movies that all people appreciate. Those movies are famous for story, acting and other things not for nakedly representation of female actor.  “Monpura” is one of those movies. I appreciate the director to make these kinds of movie.



{March 25, 2009}   “RAPE”

In my previous post “Question of Life and Death” I wrote a story about a raped girl. This post I would like to give my opinion. When it is a question of life of death media should not publish any picture of any raped women. Television channels have already stopped to publish news about rape. However, I do not want to stop the sector. We need the sector to solve the issue being raped, but media like newspapers need some conservation. Instead of describing the raped girl they should write more about that people who are involved with this disgusting crime. In Bangladesh no women are safe from being raped even five to 45 years old. Parents are afraid to send their daughter to school, outside of their home.  Bangladesh is in the list of developing country, if the situation going on it will never include on the name of developed country. Moreover, as a media newspaper bears a big responsibility to solve the issue through taking government and authorities’ concentration to think about it. Therefore, instead of describing harmful things news paper should describe those things which could help to solve the issue “RAPE”.
