All That Glitters is Not Gold
Posted on 11:38 PM by Ramya Haider
United States of America is currently the most developed country in the world. Its people consider themselves superior than all the other nations in this world, but the reality as quite different from the image that is being projected to the world. The literacy rate is approximately 97.34%, but this is all equal to multiplying any number by zero. Their general public is completely unaware of the current foreign as well as domestic affairs. This behavior isn’t unjustified. The main reason behind it is that their people have been brain washed by their media, government and kind of education that is being provided to them. They blindly believe almost everything that is told to them.
America is said to be a “free” country. That provides a right to their media to publish anything as they desire. Now a day this privilege or power is being misused. They are publishing false reports, news and stories about different sort of cultures and religion, all that just to spoil the image. For example Muslims are the major victims of this power misuse. The actual name for this is racism. Their media is just projecting violence in the name of democracy. Even the famous authors and talk show hosts write and talk in a very harsh manner regarding other countries and most of the time neglect the real story and project their own story as the truth. That explains most the behavior of their general public.

That explains most the behavior of their general public.
Another element that wants to their general public to remain detach from the true facts is their own government. One of the major reasons behind that is they don’t want to give rise to internal violence and protest against the government’s actions. Plus their government is too protective over the safety of their people. But in reality this is not called protection it is actually called being a coward because they aren’t ready to come face to face with the truth.
Similarly as media and government dominates all the thinking capability of all Americans so their education is also get infected the same 2 elements which prefer personal interpretation over the truth. Their books are all state owned, and as I have mentioned earlier that their authors project their views as the truth. So they blindly believe all that’s being told to them.
In my opinion basically the whole country is being run on the indications of the media. It is the only organization which controls the actions of government and highly influences the kind of education that’s being provided to their young generation. All the other countries who are being a victim of their policies should just not pay attention to them and carry on. In reality their policies for foreign affairs are not for the safety of those respected countries but main aim is to increase their own popularity. In comparison to these facts our Pakistani nation is much stronger and patient, it’s just that we lack unity. If we can overcome this factor we too can compete in the World Race of these developed nations.
