Afrasianet - Dr. Hani Al Qad - What the Arab world is going through today is not a natural state and a situation that the Arab mind can comprehend, because it is a situation in which many values and principles are ambiguous, and a situation in which there is a lot of intellectual, moral and political dispersion according to the documents and media tools that deal with those values and social, political and intellectual issues.
The Arab citizen is healthy, unpolluted, without deliberate and systematic tampering, with malicious goals that ultimately serve the interests of colonial powers that want to colonize minds, just as they colonized the country and stole its wealth, and want a subordinate Arab citizen who does not possess any independent thought.
Drama is a method that we used to adopt in many educational fields to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and bring about a rapid change in human behavior in a short time, and with the same goal, drama is used today to influence the awareness of the Arab citizen throughout our Arab world, bringing him closer to what satisfies the rulers and those in power, and keeping him away from thinking about what does not constitute criticism of the ruler or the ruler, and this is the most ugly method used to make the citizen nothing more than an obedient tool in the hands of rulers and the owners of thrones.
In influencing awareness, especially we had experienced great changes in our Arab world, and we had finished the blessed month of Ramadan, in which drama series and movies usually abound, and from Ramadan to Ramadan, producers and drama makers are marketing various dramatic works.
Some of which are rich in authentic Arab values, some that contribute to strengthening national and societal belonging, and some of which are descending and deal with the Arab mind with triviality and exploit it in trivial matters and want to convey fake facts to it at the same time Perhaps few dramas are concerned with facts that contribute to the protection of the comprehensive Arab consciousness.
Especially that there are many Arab issues today, which makes us as observers feel that there are plans to change several concepts related to the methods of confrontation from the colonial powers and their presence in the Arab region, as if they want the Arab citizen to accept this colonizer and live with his existence and accept to put the wealth of his country at his disposal in the service of his survival.
Many media companies and drama makers may be serving ideas that are often not accepted by the Arab mind, and these ideas may be contrary to the correct values and principles, but not all of them Let's be objective here because what we have noticed through follow-up is that the Arab public has become looking for drama that satisfies its Arab pride and deals with the issues of the Arab nation transparently and impartially in order to support the victim and to protect the awareness of the masses and respect their aspirations for the freedom of their countries.
I have seen many episodes of the series, "Sahib al-Ardar", which was produced by United Studios in Cairo and directed by (Peter Mimi) and a joint Egyptian-Palestinian actor, which dealt with the war on Gaza, conveyed the suffering of its people, and revealed the truth of the genocide that the Palestinian people were subjected to there, and it simulated the facts on the ground without falsification, which raised the percentage of followers of this series, which is estimated at millions.
Even from the Jews themselves, and this is what angered the leaders of the occupying state until the spokeswoman of the occupation army came out and accused The series that portrays the war on Gaza with a fake and reports some of its events from one side and considered it an anti-Semitic series.
The drama that attracts the Arab audience today is no longer a traditional drama that deals with trivial issues that do not serve Arab causes and does not defend Arab rights, which have become an accusation that may be punished by some dictatorial regimes.
The catastrophic events and the war of extermination launched against the Palestinians and the Lebanese constitute a rich material for a real drama that should be used to protect the Arab consciousness from the intended intellectual pollution for which millions of dollars are paid, and producers and drama makers should not stop at the month of Ramadan only as the month of the media peak in which the feelings of the masses are capable of receiving some influences.
So there is a lot of drama and entertainment works in this month, some of which do not rise to the level of the real awareness of the Arab citizen who is aware of the issues of his nation Arabic provokes the anger of many and they should pay attention to synchronizing the dramatic materials with the times of their occurrence or a little afterwards, because the mind usually thinks deeply after the event.
Sometimes, the makers of drama and entertainment materials mean to make money and present descending materials that do not rise to the level of artistic work and real and influential creativity that is capable of building the culturally conscious Arab personality.
I believe that many of the dramas that do not simulate the issues of society and the issues of the peoples and do not attract influential segments of the Arab society are compared to the works that simulate the Arab reality and the big issues such as the war of extermination on the Palestinians in Gaza, the war on Lebanon and Syria, and recently the regional war in the Middle East and its dependencies and its impact on the Arab man in the first place, and therefore he can read the dangers of these wars on the entire population of the Arab world because they may bring about changes in the geopolitical map in the entire region.
It is not limited to today's television stations, which are in the thousands, but also the multiple social media platforms, which have a great impact on people's awareness of the Arab world and transmit thousands of fake and manufactured materials through artificial and non-real intelligence only to form an awareness that serves the agendas of those who pay money for such works and take the Arab citizen away from the big events that target his soil, history, culture and political awareness.
Perhaps the awareness of the current and future generations is a trust in the necks of writers, intellectuals, artists and those with a national thought based on the foundations of authentic values, so they should avoid presenting any material that does not meet the needs of the Arab citizen in order to maintain the truth, which would protect his national and cultural consciousness in order to keep this citizen possessing a national consciousness connected to reality and to remain a true defender of every Arab right that is violated throughout our Arab world from the ocean to the Gulf.
