Abstract:

The main purpose of the present paper is to analyse the role of the media in strengthening interethnic unity in Afghanistan. The media is considered to be the best tool for influencing public opinion, which is currently being pursued by governments and various private institutions to influence public opinion in order to achieve political, social, cultural and economic goals. Findings show that media messages help people in imagining of better live and better understand humanity. Because society needs to be aware of change and this awareness can only be reflected on a large scale through media. Seventy percent of respondents confirm the ability of the media to strengthen interethnic unity.
