Impact of Media on School and Culture

Media, such as television, radio, newspapers, and social media platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp, plays a big role in shaping schools and culture in Pakistan. It affects how students learn and how people connect with their traditions.

  • Influence on Schools: Media can support education in many ways. For example, programs on Pakistan Television (PTV) teach children about science, history, and good behavior, making learning fun and easy. Teachers can also use news or videos in class to explain topics better. However, there are downsides. Many students spend too much time watching cartoons or playing games on phones, which can take away from their studies and make it hard to focus in school.
  • Influence on Culture: Media brings new ideas to Pakistani culture. Social media, like Instagram, lets young people share things like Pakistani clothes and food with the world, which boosts pride in our heritage. But foreign TV shows and movies can also change how children think, sometimes leading them to follow habits or values that are different from traditional ones, like new ways of dressing or viewing family roles.

Impact of Technology on School and Culture

Technology, including computers, smartphones, and the internet, is changing education and cultural practices in Pakistan. It brings both benefits and challenges to schools and communities.

  • Influence on Schools: Technology makes education better and easier. In cities like Karachi and Lahore, schools use computers and projectors to show videos or do online research, helping students understand lessons. WhatsApp groups also let teachers and parents stay in touch about school updates or homework. However, not everyone has the same access. While urban schools may have the internet, many rural schools don’t even have electricity, so they can’t use these tools.
  • Influence on Culture: Technology connects people to their roots and the world. Smartphones let people in far-off areas watch Islamic lectures or enjoy cultural content, keeping traditions alive. But it can also change habits. For example, global media on phones might encourage new trends, like celebrating birthdays with cakes, which wasn’t as common in traditional Pakistani culture before.
