My struggle is my teacher, without ups and downs of life our maturation will be so snail space. So it is very must to face every eventuality of life. Many people they scared to face the reality of life, those confident men do face the consequences and overcome from the turbulence

My journey has just started a couple of days ago. I forsse so many problems in the beginning, but it will gradually disappear with the passage of time

great hero

The herculean Hero who fought for his soil

He who fights for his soil shall not resign in vain

Shall stand tall and go for it  

Shall pay the ultimate price

And shall make the supreme sacrifice

For land and the whole lot with one heart

To harvest the harvest of peace

To merge the being of his soil more and more             

Ere our Hero to move far afield

Took hold of words aforesaid so dear

To drain his sons’ pain shrouded in depth

The nation groans not to brave the hard times

The royals call not for his firm choice 

All eyes in tears and hearts gray

With capped hands made their plea deepest

Father shall not leave the Golden Throne straight

But to no avail his mind is made

Not at the altar of his pride and fame

For his country’s dearest and nearest   

The dice is cast and so he must go

And no trepidation should ever bar his way

From his Palace so plain and bare  

No tall order had he flung afar  

And to the red fields cry did he just listen

Too short was his time to doze and gaze long

With little stand of his soldier so firm   

Of arms that’s thin on the ground

He is not languid in deed he ought to deal  

Or reserved in the war he ought to wage    

But with heart of gold and soul

Lead those all well but not in haste

To the roaring sea of clashing zone

He was the first to stir the ship of mass    

Through thick and thin of weeping waves

He was a audacious hero to stand his ground

Proved his heart upon needy time’s bid

With all his sons in one warm hold

He made his comeback safe and sound

The battle so drained was yet not in vain

With Glory as their sweat’s credit

That cost was a prize for his home

Teaching media-Savvy students about the popular media

Today we live in an exciting era of change in Bhutan in the world’s youngest democracy which I mean to say is great opportunities but also mean great challenges. Media industry is proliferating with the birth of new system of government (democracy), sometimes I believe that global media are invading Bhutan and that our small society is unable to respond adequately with our own stories, our own content, our own voices so under such predicament we need to learn to sift, to analyze, to understand and to select the media content we want, we need to develop the media that will help to define us as Bhutanese as indirectly stated by the author of this topic, in other word we need to be media literate and media savvy, as Dasho Tashi Wangmo, National Council of Bhutan rightly said “ Media is the third eye of decision makers.”

According to this article’s author he says “ the students are passive audience of the media, lacking the critical, analytical skills necessary to resist media manipulation”-  but unfortunately I starkly against this very statement because last long many years our sandwiched nation was isolated from other foreign nation and there was very snail development but in today’s twenty first century we could observe speed economic development economically, intellectually, and pedagogically this is all because of the right media savvy, had curriculum developers not implement this versatile section of media literacy our country would have remain in deep slumber even today- that is why due to media our citizen could enhance their analytical tactic and critical judgments.

The world today is becoming more interdependent and connected. No matter where we live on earth, we are all connected by Media; media have a pervasive effect on the lives of almost every person on earth. As like Kevin Maness research work Bhutanese researchers also commented that youth in Bhutan who have access to the internet are beginning to spend more time on-line watching videos, chatting with friends and visiting social net-working sites, it becomes a extreme concern that children are brought up the media since parents are very busy in their world of work. So it should be concerned for all too to literate the youth impeccably about the Media and suggest and skill them how to consume media moreover advice them not to be consumed by media. Today we need to learn how to read, view, listen to and analyze the media, this critical thinking skill is an essential skill in the 21^st century because we face overflow of information coming to us from every direction. Among these ocean of information in order to receive accurate, objective and useful information Government make policies, laws and regulations to ensure the freedom of Media. Article 7 of the constitution of Bhutan guarantees media freedom and freedom of speech and expression

According to Jeanne R. Steele and Jene D. Brown observe that adolescence, like adults, using media for a variety of purpose; to enhance their mood, to sort through culture norms and values, to make statement about their identity, to emulate desired behavior- yes I too agree with the author as today’s youths are full grinned by media and ostentation and pretentiousness becomes very common to them, they watch what not things in the media and to some it even brings drastic positive change but to majority it brings negative effect to their mental mindset. Today our culture is in the verge of deterioration many patriotic Bhutanese nationals tends to visit other country or they copy many unwanted culture and immensely practicing which really discrete our traditional culture-due to media they changed physically and internally so under such critical situation I as a threshold teacher solemnly promise to create infuse lifelong values and moral education our future sparkling and diligent upcoming citizens.

Now universally ‘today’s citizen is a netizen’ due to internet revolution but dishearteningly we lost our age-old interpersonal intimacy like personal handshake, hug is totally distance by mobile phones and long honoured calligraphy replaced by emails and chat  so it is crucial for teachers and  parents to play an active role in deciding their children’s media exposure if we want to impart our own values to our children and to help them build the ability to judge what they see, read , hear and create bear on media ,

Teachers must help students to make their media expertise explicitly and to see it as socially and academically valuable. All though students possess a great deal of media skills and knowledge, they are often unaware of it as skill and knowledge, and they are sometimes unaware of how it might benefit them in school or in life beyond the classroom.

In a nut shell media literacy is a basic skill required by not only the young generation but also adults and elderly people, for parents, teachers and media professionals, the older generation may need to be trained to access different source, the younger generation might need guidance on which source to trust, we can all become smart users of new media. So we as threshold curriculum developersneed to give more concern on media literacy which is mandatory in today’s cyber proliferating world.

writing phobia

Many people in and around the world they become dumbfounded when it comes to writing, their flow was to totally stuck when they think of making mistake, we don't write whatever it comes to our mind blindly because we are taught not to make any grammatical error. If so then it becomes unbreakable social taboo. Because of this chronic issue our mentality stuck in the process of the growth.
