1. What are the most common channels when we sit before the TV set?
2. What are the most common songs in our stereo players?
3. What are the most common songs in the voices of our people?
4. Who are the most popular singers or heroes of our people?
5. What are the most common ring tones in our cell phones?
6. What are the most popular dresses on the Eid Day?
7. What are the greater numbers of CDs in our shelves?

9. What are the songs almost all the kindergarten and English medium kids keep singing?
10. What is the language spoken by almost all the school students?
11. What are the books read in the English medium schools?

Well, don't we have the slightest feeling for our country of which we are so proud? I am telling this because the answers of the above mentioned questions are quite well known to all, and it doesn't need a great deal of wisdom to find out the position of our country and our culture.
