gender discrimination


Sexism or gender discrimination is fact we find undeniable even in the so called developed or western nations. it is present everywhere in some form around the world a lot of hue and cry is raised over the issue by the media focusing on the eastern societies specially Islamic nations and the sexism or gender related issues gripping the west are to a large extent totally ignored.
The term sexism in fact means preferential treatment given to a certain sex over the opposite sex although true to both sexes it is mostly true in fact for the females all around the world.
The bias over the issue can involve a lot of issues for example low pay for the fairer sex than their counterparts in the same position taking women to be as sexual objects in the offices and mostly in the media to the beatings women receive from there spouses all these issues are present in the west but without the limelight they deserve in the media.
Despite the fact women are declared to be equal in all the western nations they have not been excepted as leaders in any capacity may it be the corporate sector or the political setup of course some exceptions do exist .
Sexism in the work place :gender discrimination exists in most workplaces from being an object of behind the back jokes to giving preferential treatment given to the more compliant women as to the women who challenge the setup are quietly sidelined.
To me the most hateful form sexism which is rampant in the western world is the iconisation of the female form in to something only sexual through the media the media shows us a certain face of the female sex anything deviating from that image is thought to be not cool the image effects women all around the world and they continuously strive to attain the image all there lives forgetting there is more to a person than looks…

It is quite clear quite clear that the three Eurasian powers have already talked and agreed upon matters and now have decided to move forward bringing in other relevant players. Afghanistan is obvious Iran has been part of the Astana dialogues before and has an obvious engrossment in Afghanistan and will see eye to eye with Moscow. India however while having interest does not seem to be in agreement over the course of action viable to the others. The inclusion of India is due to the relationship Moscow and Delhi have held for such a long time. It is also being said that the Americans are also going to be present.

LOUD AND CLEAR is the message to Pakistan we will not let you proceed with development in your country that easily. The development of CPEC is unacceptable. Shift from the policy of uncle Sam and bear the consequences. Islamabad had earlier facilitated negotiations between the afghan Taliban and the afghan government also invited was the Chinese and the Americans. Before long it was as clear as crystal that the Americans never wanted the talks to succeed. In fact it was blamed by many from Pakistan that it was the Americans and their stooge government in Afghanistan that had sabotaged the talks either by bombing the negotiating factions of Taliban and leaking the news of the death of Mullah Omar rite before the talks began.

Pakistani Media will it Grow up?

It is apparently a well-established fact that Media especially electronic media in Pakistan is having a tremendous effect in Pakistan in all spheres of life. The reason behind such a result is the educational background of the general populace and the belief what they see on TV is right. Freedom of speech and news reporting are being used as a pretext to feed the masses tailored agendas. Pakistanis are being sold anti Pakistan rhetoric without even a wince from the authorities. Media Manipulation is a series of techniques partisans create an image or argument that favors their particular interests. Almost most of the time the methods employed are deceptive suggestions, psychologically manipulative narrative, rhetoric, propaganda and twisted or even outright completely false content. Most of the times its politically motivated but is it important if its politically motivated or not I don’t think so such practices are common around the world. So what’s the difference between Pakistan a
