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

youths are to be consumed by media soon ...
On top of the white wash wall, if the beam of the full moon focuses on
it, it looks super white, so I am the full moon bean and you are the moon!
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 21st 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.
