In many Arab societies and third world countries, the real power is no longer measured only by military or economic ability, but by the extent of controlling people’s awareness and formulating their awareness of what is happening around them. The media, in its various forms, is no longer just a carrier of the news, but rather an effective tool for reproducing popular acceptance with the policies and options presented, even if the gap between discourse and reality is wide.
Rotated major words such as reform, development, fighting corruption, and empowering young people. But it often remains at the level of the logo, without turning into a tangible practice that a person feels worldwide in his daily life. The reform that is raised as a slogan should be associated with the expansion of popular participation in decision -making, and the development in which it preaches must be translated into an improvement in the livelihood of small merchants and middle -class children, not to remain trapped in international numbers and indicators. Here, the difference becomes clear between reform in discourse and reform in reality, as the first is marketed to produce a bright image, while the second requires deep changes in legislative and institutional structures.
Repeated patterns in these societies reveal depending on a familiar equation: a continuous pumping of achievements in the media, which is matched by a marginalization of or stigmatized critical sounds as a threat to stability. Thus, the boundaries of the general debate are drawn in advance: success is discussed only as a fixed truth, and critical observations are re -framing as an uncomfortable opposition. Thus, acceptance is made, and people are convinced that what is presented in front of them is the only possible reality, while alternatives are either delusions or threats.
This is evident in the economic side, where ambitious plans, major projects and long -term strategies are presented as success stories, while small merchants and limited income people suffer from daily challenges that do not find concrete solutions. The question here is not in denying the existence of achievements, but rather whether the numbers are used as a tool to market prosperity more than it is a way to evaluate a honest policy.
The issue, then, is not a rejection of everything that has been achieved, but rather an invitation to distinguish between the real achievement and the media achieved. The society in which the discourse and the image are accurately managed may seem coherent at first glance, but it remains subject to postponed questions about justice, participation and transparency.
The cornerstone is the cornerstone of the path of development and renaissance in these societies lies in believing that stability is not achieved by the manufacture of contentment, but rather by building mutual trust between the citizen and the state around the world, ensuring the arrival of the correct information, providing constructive criticism without fear, and involving people effectively in drafting the decision. When justice is placed and participating in the heart of any project that affects any country, stability becomes real, not formal, and the future becomes more firm than any made of the present to the present around the world.
