It is terribly important to remember that when POVs are presented they are presented as POVs and not facts. it is your theory that as humans we would slap each other under similar circumstances such as Asad slapping Zoya or Dilshaad slapping Asad. Incorrect. And if that behavior did occur, even those individuals who slapped would not justify it.
Slapping is actually a criminal act depending on the country in which you live. If a woman is slapped either by a spouse or someone else, they can actually file a police report for assault charges - Yes, I've seen it happen multiple time. So to say this is not a criminal act depends on the a) the country in which you live and b) your own cultural frame of refence as to what constitues physical abuse. Among some cultures slapping a woman under certain circumstances is perfectly acceptable.
The media has a responsiblity in that if they wish to show these behaviors, they have to make it clear that they are not condoning it or allow for any confusion among audience members of their intent. While in India it is perfectly fine for a man so slap his spouse regardless of the reason, in the west, the media does not condone the practice.
It is this cultural frame of reference that some of us bring that is not acceptable. In our view, and based upon the research and studies we have read, these practices are not justifiable and using anger or the situation as a rationale for them are unacceptable.
Laila,
Which culture says slapping is acceptable?
Slapping a grown up woman or man is certainly not acceptable in any cilture.
But some cultures go by ;'spare the rod and spoil the child'.
It is the norm in India- parents have tHE RIGHT TO DISCIPLINE THEIR CHILDREN, so long as they don't physically ABUSE them. Caning and slapping don't come under child abuse yet.
Scalding and whipping does.
I am talking about India, and QH is within the cultural norms of this country.
Assad slapping Zoya, if you don't bring the sexist thinking, which is purely how SOME OF YOU interpreted asthe slap as...the makers just intended to show one adult hitting another adult in a fit of rage and HELPLESSNESS.
In our view, and based upon the research and studies we have read, these practices are not justifiable and using anger or the situation as a rationale for them are unacceptable.
I suppose your research is conducted on the Western population.
Do explain to me: Why is it that the West has more of school children wielding guns, given they have all this research to support them?
Does that mean these countries have no angry people or people who who lash out in anger ONCE are prescribed anger management classes?
By that standard both Dilshad and her beloved son should be shown taking anger management classes. Actually, that'd be fun to watch!😉
Research can only help you to an extent...it gives you reasons.. NOT ANSWERS, finally it boils down to an individual and his GOD...if you cannot control yourself, you'll end up paying for it soon. This is what Zoya is trying to save Asad from...and what Dilshad is trying to warn him about...He decide to move against his father because he remained rigid in his thinking...and he will pay for it.
Right now, he has got his dad imprisoned for a crime he did not commit and he has fallen an easy prey to Raziya's plans...He will regret it one day. The show is trying to give you that message.😊
