Dynamics of Pakistani Culture and Youth

Natasha Haroon 10U1102 
Pakistan is a homeland to people of various castes, religion, race, colour and social status. Culture is dynamic by nature, many norms and values are blending with the western influence and many traditions are even being challenged to get eradicated. Pakistani youth, of the 21st century, is way more active and socially aware than the past generations. Whenever there is 'voice' there is 'resistance' as well. And all this adds to the basic dynamics of Pakistani culture.
I will discuss just one aspect for now which is that why is the Pakistani youth more inclined towards higher education from abroad, instead of studying in local institutes?
its been generations and still our country is facing the basic issue of 'brain drain'. Asians are considered to be the brightest and most intellectual of the students. We as Pakistanis have proven our potential on many of the international platforms. Then why is it that we're still not fully confident about ourselves? why do we still believe that if we have a diploma that mentions any XYZ foreign university, our future will be secured? Why don't we have the passion to serve our own country as professionals?
There are endless questions but that's not what we are supposed to waste time for. we need answers. Some concrete answers. I'm not here to explain why Pakistan is so brilliant, why we should stay back and think about serving our land with respect and dignity, and I'm certainly not asking u to bring a change for your country. All I ask, through this blog, is that just give a few minutes thought to yourself. Dedicate a few minutes of your busy life mind mapping about your actual goals in life, but the request is that despite the fact Pakistan has had tough times and probably we will have tougher times ahead of us, lets not lose hope and lets just promise to ourselves to serve our country wholeheartedly. This wasn't supposed to be an article, but just something related to my own personal thoughts and experiences. Hope it helps us all. Thanks! :)
