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”.
Now-a-days women become a product in the market of advertisement. Media represents women like a product with other products. Just an example of those advertisements is “Tomar oi reshmi kalo chul dekhe pagol ami hoboito (I will be crazy for your hair)” This is a part of a lyric of an advertisement of coconut oil. In the advertisement the male model sings the song to see the hair of the female model. Although the focus of the advertisement is on the quality of oil, the audiences focus on the beauty of the model. Sometimes people encourage buying the products for the model. These kinds of advertisement represent women as like as a product to the audience.
“Tumi haslei jeno ak Phali chand na hassle purnima sundrytoma (If you laugh it seems like half moon and if you don’t laugh it seems full moon my dear)” It’s an advertisement’s lyric of soap. The purpose of the director is to increase the popularity of the product. The products get popularity and with that the model also becomes a product to the audiences. When people buy the soap they also buy the picture of the model on the packet of the soap. These two advertisements are just examples. There are many advertisements like those.
I like to pass my leisure time by reading books. I usually read all kinds of books like romantic, detective, poems, fictions, non fictions and others. I felt upset when read romantic books. Most of the writers describe nakedly when they introduce any female character in a story. Even though the writer male or female. If male I can say that they like to show women’s body. When female writers write about that they could not understand how they harassing themselves through their writing. Actually when I read any book my mind create picture what the author describe in the book. I have never read that kind of books with a description of their physical structure (except health or medical related). I guess all readers try to make an image what they have read. Therefore, when a writer introduces a woman we already get a picture about it. However, when some writers explain the body structure very nakedly. Reader can get every single organs image in their head. If the readers are men imagine what they could visualize?
These kinds of story books are enough to teach people that what way they should think when they meet with any woman.
