These people which you speak about do not know the real meaning of Ramadan.
They think that Ramadan is the month of television series and quiz shows.
They forget that Ramadan is the month of:
1. Work (where should work more specially reading the holy Quran and understanding its meanings and it the month of praying)
2. The month of forgiveness.
3. Month for making people behave better so no bad words or shouting or lie, ....etc.
4. The month where you become closer to God.
5. The month which makes how does those who does not have food feel.
6. The month where people help each other.
7. The month where you give more than what you take.
In the normal life we have a gab in the above points and Ramadan comes to train us on filling these gabs.
From my experience the best chemical plants production in Qatar is recorded in the month of Ramadan.
Also at the last ten nights of Ramadan there is one night if you prayed it with the people in the mosque it will be equivalent of worshiping God 83 years.
