Answer 1

Pakistan has a wide range of media platforms television included. Television is the most widely used source of information in Pakistan with an estimation of around 86 million users. Most of them are privately owned and they enjoy the freedom of expression subject to political pressures. Mcdonaldization is a situation where a group of people is adapted to have similar characteristics such as predictability, control, and efficiency. In Pakistan TV channels have a central control: that's control by the government and has banned and closed some TV channels for example Geo TV channel.
