ARE WE HAPPIER THAN OUR ANCESTORS?

Is Science a blessing or a Curse?

Science means knowledge and knowledge is power. Science has bought a revolution in life. The life of ancient man was full of problems and hardships. He had no proper home, dress, food, water and protection. His standard of living was a little better than that of animals. Diseases were puzzles for him whom he could neither understand nor cure.

Similarly, travelling was a fatal task. A distance of few miles might become a matter of life and death for a traveler. Plough, sow, watering and harvesting were all to be done by hands.

Today, life has become a bed of roses. The scientific machines are more magical than the Flying Carpet and Aladdin’s Lamp. With the click of the mouse, we can be in contact with the entire world through internet. Computer is the best child of science.

In agriculture, there are tractors to plough, machines to sow, combines and threshers and tube wells to help the farmer. Fertilizers and pesticides protect the crops. Fruits and vegetables are available round the year, round the world.

In health department, science has given eyes to the blind, ears to the deaf, limbs to the disable, hearts and kidneys to the needy. Almost every disease is curable. Newton, Einstein, Flemings, Pasture are the heroes of science whom millions of people owe their lives.

Travelling has become a fun. Communication has made man omnipresent. Fax, telegram, telephone, E-mail and mobile phones all together have changed life altogether. World is becoming a global village.

Media has become far more effective than ever. Press, computer composing, scanning, Photostat have resulted in a flood of information.

But it is not all gay. Science has made our life mechanical. Sitting on computer, man himself becomes a machine---- cut off the family like a scientific device.

Science has lugged us into the cat and rat race of material. World War-I and II are the worst marks of science on the history of mankind. Weapons of mass destruction pose the threat of another war that may put an end to all found on earth. “Science never solved a problem without creating ten”.

Who is to blame, Science or Man? Napoleon says, “It’s not gun but man behind the gun who fights”. So, man has misused the power of science. Like any power, science has empowered man like a giant.

It’s good to have a giant’s power, but its bad use it like a giant”. The problem is that man is using science as a weapon. The genius minds of scientists never knew that the evil genius of later years would abuse their inventions like that; power would make man beast. Also the mind using the blessings of science needs to be trained and purified.

“There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so”, Shakespeare rightly said.

One good heart is better than all heads put together. So, subjects teaching humans values should be taught if we want to check man’s inhumanity to man.

USES AND ABUSES OF INTERNET:

Internet Uses and Abuses: Internet: Internet is a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols. The internet in now days has become so popular that everyone uses it for communication. It is like a tool which links people with each other. Internet started as a communication system for American military in late 1980s. American military used this internet first to communicate and transmit information in a closed building’s different computers. After this they performed a series of experiments and started communicating with each other widely. And at last this internet is commercialized for people use. In a very short span of time, it has linked together the whole world. It has made the whole world like a small village. As internet is like a web and has very vast information. It is like a big ocean. Now it’s onto the user that what he brings out of ocean that is internet. Many people consider internet a curse without censorship. Without censorship many things spin out of control. Some data is acceptable and some is not. Some good aspects of internet are that internet has reduced the distances very much.

But beside these good aspects internet has also got some bad aspects. First of all, to check abuse of internet, we should keep a strict eye on children. We should check our children that what they are searching on internet and what they or not. Our children if not using internet in good way, then it might a big problem for the parents in the future.

HUNGER AND POPULATION:

Hunger and Population: The word “HUNGER” not mean to be hungry or underfed, but it really means not having enough to eat or not sure about next meal. The hunger is a mighty problem of the world from the day one. Many people still in this so much developed world starve to death. This death rate is more in under development countries. People struggle for overcoming “HUNGER” problem. Some people give this hunger a little importance like millionaire people. But they don’t know those people who had not enough money to buy some grains for them and to feed their children. "Food is more than a trade commodity," pleaded Sir John Boydorr in 1946. Some countries like United States of America is struggling for the complete eradication of hunger. The first director-general of the new Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Boydorr fruitlessly proposed plans for a World Food Board to protect nations and people from hunger in the world market system. World hunger is one of the biggest problems faced in this world today. About 24,000 people die every day, and most of these deaths are faced by children under five. There is lot of food in the world but still hunger and struggle for hunger. About 1/10 of the world population suffer from chronic hunger every year. Because of the hunger problem, the majority of people suffer from blindness, anemia, malnutrition related problems and other diseases because they are not getting enough diet. Now if we focus on some under developed countries that why their government fails to supply enough grains to the people and people starve to death. We see a major problem of the population in those countries. Hunger and population are directly proportional to each other. Okay now let’s take an example of “THARPAKAR” area in “SINDH” of “PAKISTAN”. Recently, this area of Pakistan is hit by “Famine” in 2014 and still facing the worst problems. Now if we see the population factor of this area, we see a woman have 7-9 children. When I visited this area I shocked to see that a family having 11 children. Now if they have only 2-4 children, then a sack of grains (flour) is enough for them for some days. But now they have 11 children and 2 parents; total 13 people, can face worse problems. Now they need 2 sacks of grains to fulfill the needs of her family. Pakistan is an agricultural country and still she have to face the problem of food crisis. This is the worst negligence of the “government of Pakistan” especially “government of SINDH”. Hence, we should control our population for the control of hunger. Following are some causes of Hunger. 1- Population. 2- Subjection and dearth (poor quality). 3- Environment and consumption. 4- Violence 5- Gender bigotry. The above mentioned, are the major causes of the hunger in the world. This hunger problem is in under developed countries because of low literacy rates. We should improve literacy level in these countries to steer clear of this worst problem. Consequently, the world has both the knowledge and the resources to eliminate hunger. They should use these and should be on the same page to solve this problem because this problem is delving into the roots of us. The article of Anna Mckenzie also reflects this problem.

IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION FOR DISABLED CHILDREN:

IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION FOR DISABLED CHILDREN: Disability: The inability to perform any action or defect in movements is called disability. In our society, disabled people are always neglected. They are always treated as second rate citizen. People not only hate them but also treat them a trash. But some developed countries like USA, England etc have proper institutions and places where they treat those disabled people. But some under developed countries are still haven’t proper places to treat. The administration should provide proper places for at least the education and living of these disabled people. These disabled people are not the trash. They are very important in society. They can become role model for those people who are perfectly alright. If disabled people can do a task, then why other people can’t? First of all we should make an institution for these disabled students. Treating these students is difficult and needs more attention than ordinary students that’s why people hesitate from these students. But they don’t really know that there little more attention to these students can turn their lives in heaven. “The education for disabled students are very important” because education can make their lives. Education is the basic need for everyone. Education is like food and fuel of life, without it no one can drive and live his life. Education for disabled people is very important. Hence we should make proper institutions for those people and give them basic education. Basic education includes courtesy, manners, communicating with other people, language, Simple MATHS, English language etc. These children have difficulties which make harder to learn. These children may need extra or different help from that given to other children of the same age. Early Identification for these people is very important so, that it won’t get late because these people when grew up, their disabilities also become worse. We should give people special education for treating the disabled people so that everyone can help and make his part and can make bliss for them. The teacher should treat them differently in achieving the educational goals. We should also make a little competition for those disabled students so that they may develop more courage to face challenges. Hence, Education for disabled students is very much important because these students are the children of our nation and we should treat them as our own children. We should love them.

WOMEN EDUCATION:

LACK OF WOMAN EDUCATION: For the steps forward of any country, education is very important. Devoid of education no one can advance in the world. Education is not only ready to lend a hand on country’s progress, but also makes people of that country to show up the entire world. This edification makes up the inhabitants and nations. Now the nation depends upon the “MEN and WOMEN”. These men and women can play a vital role in development of that country. These men and women are two wheels of cart. The nation’s horse and cart can’t run as it should be without any of the wheels is out of order. Napoleon was once asked what the greatest need of France was. He answered, “Motherland’s National progress is impossible without trained and educated mothers”. If any country has uneducated women, then this country is not only at the rear of the world. But nearly be wiped out of the world. The women are the major part of country. These women are continuity of race for any family. Now in the most advanced age of the world, women are still neglected in some of the under developing countries. They should get to know that these women are the light house of society. They have to play a vital role in the progress of their country. Without them they are out of order. If such a large portion is denied the privilege of education the country is bound to lag behind. There are some dogmas still current in their society. These countries thought that women education is the curse on women and society and are disobeying to their duties and husband. We need to change their thoughts for the better advancement of their countries. We should tell them that through this education they can find a better match for their girl. But if the girl is uneducated and inexpert, then she can’t get out of the slums her already living. Thus education will enable females to make their parents, husbands and children truly happy. Consequently, lack in women education can wipe out the name of country from the map of world because “A CART CAN’T CONTINUE ITS JOURNEY WITHOUT ONE WHEEL”. Consequently, by education woman we can lead our country on the road of progress. Through this female education we can make our country’s ecomic development better and can make it more social towards humanity and society. As world is progressing so fast, if we want to compete into this race, then we should our contry’s women for better competion and to go with the competitive pace. Women can make our world a cloud nine. Women education can limit worthless impacts.
