A recent survey conducted by Nielsen group concluded that the majority Youth of Pakistan are deeply frustrated and feel abandoned by the government. As more and more urban centers of our country which hold the cream intellect of our nation get connected to the communication networks the epidemic of Pornography grows. In light of growing socio-economic pressures & eroding religious and moral values our strength our youth could well be on its way to a Demographical as well as Social/Morale Disaster.

The recent report commissioned by the British Council revealed that an overwhelming majority of young Pakistanis say their country is headed in the wrong direction, the report said, and only 1 in 10 has confidence in the government. They are now entering a work force in which the lion’s share cannot find jobs, a potentially volatile situation if the government cannot address its concerns.

The despair among the young generation is rooted in the condition of their lives. Only a fifth of those interviewed had permanent full-time jobs. Half said they did not have sufficient skills to enter the workplace. And one in four could not read or write a legacy of the country’s abysmal public education system, in which less than 40 percent of children are enrolled in school which is far below the South Asian average of 58 percent. The study interviewed 1,226 Pakistanis ages 18 to 29, from different backgrounds across the country, in March and April.

The combination of this increasing frustration among youth of our country and their growing access to World Wide Web and information unchecked is driving the youth of this country in a disastrous direction. In order to understand the growing epidemic of Pornography we need to consider the following information about this industry which sheds light on the magnitude of this growing problem:

REVENUE STATISTICS ON PORNOGRAPHY INDUSTRY

Global Revenue from Pornography Industry $ 57 Billion Worldwide (Greater than the combined revenues of all the world’s football, baseball and basketball franchises

Pornography Trade on Internet $2.5 Billion (12% of world wide websites are pornographic)

Pornographic CD ROMS $ 1.5 Billion

The pornography industry is 1 – 10th of the World’s Oil Industry and let us not forgets that oil is used in everything.

VIEWERSHIP STATISTICS ON PORNOGRAPHY

World Wide Pornographic Websites 4.2 Million Websites (12% of world wide websites are pornographic)
Pornographic Web-Pages 372 Million WebPages
Daily Pornographic Search Requests (Estimated) 68 Million (25 % of Total search engine requests are to search pornographic websites)
Daily Pornographic E-mails 2.5 Billion
Monthly Pornographic Downloads (Peer 2 Peer) 1.5 Billion (35% of all Downloads)

GENDER STATISTICS ON PORNOGRAPHY

Adults admitting to Internal Pornographic addiction 10 % (These are the ones who are admitting)
Female Vs Male visitors to Pornographic websites 72% Male, 28% Female

The above mentioned statistics are just some of the many that are available, this Information might vary in case of Pakistan due to our different social-economic and cultural condition yet we have to admit this fact that Pornography has started and gained a strong hold in the Pakistani society. There are numerous Public markets in major cities of Pakistan like Karachi, Lahore & Rawalpindi where this heinous trade is taking place.
Apart from this as the Teleco penetration increases and more and more people get access to faster more reliable means to gain information especially the internet this epidemic promises to pose a great threat to our society if allowed to go unchecked.

As we can clearly see from the Statistics above that internet has proven to be a huge medium of transfer for this industry therefore measures need to be taken to ensure that Young ones and Adults alike do not gain access to such information. Broadband companies need to develop Corporate Social Responsibility campaigns condemning this trade and they need to make sure that they take all measures to stop this process of degeneration from spreading.

The government also has heavy responsibility on it because it is the government which needs to develop policies which can obstruct the trade & sharing of pornography. The government needs to regulate the internet traffic and learn from partnering countries like China who have maintained a strong control over all the internet traffic coming into the country, one can argue that China uses these capabilities to enforce its totalitarian regime yet we need to remember that we only need this model to block pornographic websites, It is imperative that our society is shielded from this ill because such activities promote atheism and fearlessness towards God. The absence of one’s accountability on his or her actions towards a supreme being can have disastrous effects on the existence of societies.

Let us not forget that the worth of a civilization is not the tall buildings, roads and the economy they construct but in fact it is their religious belief, their morale values, their civic dealings, arts, culture and their ability to bring up good human beings not animals which are driven by their desires. If we fail to provide the youth of our country a strong religious and morale basis we will only end up raising a generation which is not only frustrated but also ethically and morally lost.

We have forgot the words of our Pakistan’s greatest leader and philosopher Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Iqbal that hindus and muslims are opposite poles which can never come together. And our media is going totally opposite to this idea.

Our media has dedicated itself to promote Indian content in Pakistan (including movies premiers,dramas, songs and bunch of useless stuff). Our youth is already on the wrong track (again thanks to our free media), we have given up our religious values, we have lost our integrity and credibility but that is not our point of concern. Everybody is concerned to make money whether it destroys our religious values, our cultural values or our social values.

Go beyond borders, Indians hate Pakistanis neither their media praise Pakistanis nor they show Pakistani content on their TV channels. So why we are watching Indians Content, why our media is showing this to us, why don’t we raise our voices to bring change. I request to every Pakistani to raise their voice please show them that we have enough strength to bring change.

2012 Movie

‘I will not have a fatwa on my head because of a movie.’ This was the reply of Harald Kloser ,Co-writer of Hollywood Disaster movie “2012” ,when asked about why he dropped the idea of destroying Muslim Holy Place “Kaaba” in his above mentioned movie.

The Movie 2012 is about Global Doomsday event based on Mayan calendar; according to interpreters of Mayan calendar, Mayan calendar predicts that world is going to end on December 21, 2012; movie 2012 is set to release on 13 November, 2009 Worldwide.

Many Researchers and authors are of the view that this movie is creating unnecessary fear in the minds of people, who are already terrified by the existing situation of the world; director, producer Roland Emmerich who has already produced many disaster movies such as ‘Independence Day’ and ‘Godzilla’ said he likes to produce these type of movies because they make for a good story.
