On Disestar in Uttrakhand
In view of disaster in Uttrakhand:
There are heartbreaking revelations coming out as day’s passes. TV and media fight like street dogs to air most worst and disastrous Picture or video of this disaster. Politicians are yelling and blaming each other. Social media is full of different massages against Politics and even against some opportunists, who look is as opportunity for earning more.
We the Indian Peoples will keep on talking about it. In mean time Indian Middle (especially Lower Middle Class, Upper Middle is more mediocre and dramatic these days) start with ration collection and langars campaigns for effected. And yes this is time when we all must come forward to help. This not the right time to start discussions, blaming each other or find fault with each other, authorities, system and practices.
But what pinches to my heart is that when the right time comes for finding facts, faults and weakness those leads to this big tragedy; all will forget about it. No one will ask question from Bureaucrats, Planners, Organizers, Governments or even from his/her own consciousness, Why this happened? Why precaution was not taken? Where lays the actual faults? No one will bother to find out the truth so that repetition such incidents can be stopped or controlled, Precautions and preventive measures can be taken. In 2008 I visited HESCO Dehradoon, One of their activist strongly opposed the Govt. policies, Practices followed by development planners, Industrialists and even common peoples. He predicted this disaster at that time only, saying “We are playing with very sensitive balance of Himalayan Environment. Said One day Hiamlaya will roar and will bring his wrath upon us and That day We will be numb and will not be in position to control the disaster”.
Now the day I heard this news His words flashed inside my brain. His prediction comes true. It is not that He had not warned other peoples but authorities did not listened to him, Planner just ignored him and we

    There is a major difference in how information is portrayed depending on the audience. Often times, when informing the population of terrible news the audience is looking for as many facts as the journalists will put out there. The miners and the families of the miners trapped in the Chilean copper mine collapse wanted to know everything that was going on and exactly what was going to be done in order to rectify the situation as well as how soon the workers could come home.…

    This killed 19 expedition members at the Everest Base Camp. With this in mind, the expectation should be for a slow season on Everest, but according to Dave Roberts, “The death of the 16 sherpas didn't slow things down.” (Will Everest’s Climbing Circus Slow Down After Disasters?). The earthquake shook up the mountain, just because nothing has fallen and killed, doesn't mean it won’t.…

    In a globalized world with media pouring in from all around the world, it becomes increasingly difficult to decide what is important enough to view, and what isn’t. That job falls into the hands of news sources whose purpose is to gain as much attention as possible. Today the headlining story is the most dramatic story, not the most important. Stories beyond the scope of the United States and its interests are unlikely to garner the attention they deserve. The film Nightcrawler captures this idea best “to capture the spirit of what we air, is think of our news cast as a screaming woman running down the street with her throat cut.” -Nightcrawler (2014). This is positive feedback in its truest form reacting to the immediate and the dramatic.…

    When I first learned of the catastrophe, I was in my dorm room asleep because I don’t have classes on Tuesdays. My mom called me and informed me of the horrendous episode and it actually took me a while to realize what happened. But when I turned the television on, everything was clear as day. I saw people falling and jumping out of windows. It was horrific. My initial feelings were hatred toward the culprits behind this cowardly act. I couldn’t comprehend exactly what the purpose of this was proving. I hope and pray that Osama bin Laden and whoever else is responsible for this callous act is given capital punishment.…

    Nowadays, communications come across boundaries, thus we can, more easily than never, be aware of what is happening in isolated areas. Who, in Europe or in the USA, doesn’t remember the shocking images of people dying in Somalia that were diffused in all television, in all newspapers? In this particular case, it was the raise of public opinion, asking their governments to stop these atrocities that lead the countries to launch a humanitarian intervention there. This new form of communication has changed the way politicians and governments are acting, especially in developed countries with liberal views, and the importance they are giving to what their people think. But it also raises another question: the one about mass media agenda setting. When we see how many people are suffering in so many places all over the world, we undoubtedly ask us why media are talking about issues in some countries while other situations remain unknown by public opinion. And how do the media do to choose which humanitarian issue to emphasize and which not?…

    Let's be real , the media and press are bias and favor one side of the story, of course if the press publicizing an article roots for the opposing team they'll tell you it's the acting government's fault for everything that's going bad presently even if it does not make sense at times. Sometimes the media publicizes things mainly simply just to have an audience, truth of the matter is no one likes boring news, we can't blame them for showing the “hot news” as said in Belize. But due to freedom of speech things are said that moves the public in a certain way that should not be, many people seem to believe anything they hear or see on the news primarily on T.V. Simply because it's on T.V. This is where the public knowledge should be put in to play, and this is why I write this paper to inform you that we should stop being sheep and following any Shepard. Inform yourself on the topic before believing anything any person tells you.…

    Landslides, flash floods, countless lives lost and millions uprooted from their homes. Look where we are now. Look at what we have done. We have grown proud and oblivious to the needs of the nature, overlooking the symbiotic relationship we have with the world for our own fetishes and superfluous luxuries. Evening out the highest of the mountains to make way for new metropolitans, cutting old, sturdy trees for building sleek and modern houses in Dasmarinas Village and mindless disposal of wastes along bodies of water have brought us great deals of loss which we could have prevented if we only did our part.…
