Cambodian Song Is Contributing to Discrimination
It is exactly our desires to entertain and such the right is
stipulated in many internal and international legal instruments.
To me, entertainment is not just entertainment, but it does
enrich our lives, physically and psychologically. However,
converting into the world of materialism, I have noticed that
one evilly negative element which is indirectly and
subconsciously stipulated in such the daily entertainment and
this bad impact would spread into greater extend if appropriate
measure is not taken. Song, I would say, is the most brainwashed
kind of entertainment that we even need before our nightly
sleep. And just because it is absolutely ubiquitous, the
negative element contained in the song can easily be inserted
into our psycho factors. So what is the negative element
contained that I am referring to? Here is the answer:
"discrimination is widely spreading in most of Cambodian songs".
Though most of the discrimination is not of great level and
apparent, but such the negative element would spread into the
society - in particular, youths' mentality, if sound measure is
not timely taken by all of us and the concerned state entities.
Discriminations, as I have noticed, are largely based on ground
of family status, skin complexion, gender, appearances and other
related social status. Most of the time, the poor, the disabled,
the unfit is weak, and they are almost always the losers and the
ones who is most likely to fail in competition with another who
is better in term of finance and appearance. As I have noticed,
the poor, disabled are
unlikely to have loyal love and they are
likely deprived from social participation. But most of the
Cambodian youths can not see this essence and would not agree
with my stated idea. Not only about discrimination, most of
Cambodian songs are just plainly about entertainment, and there
are nearly no song to contribute to psychological purification.
I do not mean that all songs should be about philosophy and
other educational favor, but I do need some songs and singers
contribute to such the field of the society. I do need
entertainment too!!! Because of the negative points I raised
above, Cambodian song can not gain its fame in the state,
regional and international stage, the writer and singer should
reconsider about this. Another essence of the song is to
surprise and make the listeners feel respectful to the singer
and author. As I would like to make this essay short and brief,
I would not bring many examples to defense my argument, but I
want you, the readers, to observe the matters of fact by
yourselves, and see whether my opinion is of value or not. I am
not criticizing Cambodian song alone, this problem is also
occurring in other countries around the world, but I just want
all of us to take notice before we do analysis or before it is
too late. "No matter how the world has developed, discrimination
is still ubiquitous and maybe more serious than the bygone past,
because it is contained in even our playful element (coined by
Lay Vicheka, 2005)"
