Diversity in practice of a culture: In a similar manner, dating a person within the U.S is a common practice. One might want to imagine that the practice of dating a person is prohibited in Pakistan. This is partially true because more than a decade ago, Pakistan introduced websites for online dating with positive claims that supported the Islamic ideology of marriage. Given that, these dating websites are used as a tool to find a good marriage proposal, it is important to point out how much Muslims or Pakistanis, in general, rely on the use of this source. Family involvement is a priority and to quote an article on Courtship and Dating in Islam. I would like to quote the author’s words “focused courtship helps ensure the strength of the marriage

practices an individualistic culture, it is not without doubt one can claim that romantic relationships within the U.S. are based on one’s attitude of finding a “good fit.” This tends to lean toward a selfish desire of “shopping” for a human that is able to fulfill one’s personal sensual or, financial needs or, matching one’s economic and religious background. There are some unspoken questions in hearts and minds of those who are involved in the “hookup culture” that seems to be inspired by Hollywood romantic films, thinking it is appropriate to pursue sexual activity during their dating phase. However, I am curious to know where do the teens and youth of today get the courage to develop this culture as a norm?

On another level, it is also necessary to note that the concept of fighting against injustice is perceived in a different way in countries like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Though the Christians in these geographic locations might watch superhero and fiction based films, yet their preaching and evangelism and Christian ethical values does not include a word about films or dramas- the films or soaps that that are fictional. Therefore, the question is: Why do you what you watch? What do you gain out of it? How is it
