A NUCLEAR FAMILY

A family is a social and welfare institution.  It gives us shelter, support and safety. There are two kinds of family: extended family and nuclear family. A family consist with father, mother and their children’s is called a nuclear family. Like an extended family a nuclear family has some advantage and disadvantage too. The environment of a nuclear family is very calm, and quite. It is also free from noise and disturbance. One can enjoy much space and time here. One can lead a life of his/her own. In a nuclear family, students enjoy much better environment than an extended family. In a nuclear family house is always remains neat and clean and well-arranged. A nuclear family has some disadvantage too. It is sometime very lonely and boring. If any member of a nuclear family faces any problem, there is none to help. Everything in this world has some positive and negative qualities. Above all, comparing with an extended family I think a nuclear family is the better one to live.

EVE TEASING

Eve means women. Eve teasing means causing harassment of women by using disgraceful words and making annoying gesture. This is a crime. This crime is mainly done by the misguided young boys. Now-a-days it is a serious problem in our country. Young women, mainly school, college and university going girls are the victim of eve teasing. It is a course for us. Every father and mother feels insecure to send their beloved daughter out of home. It is a big threat for the safety of our girls. Is has a great negative effect on the mind of women. Sometime they commit suicide in order to get ride of this problem. The causes of eve teasing are many. Unemployment problem, want of social and moral values in the young generation, lack of proper education, having no fear of being punished for this crime are the main causes of eve teasing. This situation should not continue. So, government has already taken some important steps. 13 June has been declared as eve teasing protection day. Government has empowered mobile court. They can punish an eve teaser for a year in jail or fine about 70 dollars or both. Now these laws should be enforced strictly to stop eve teasing.

Women are inhumanly tortured and often killed for dowry. Sometimes they are forced to commit suicide. It also results in divorce. To remove this problem awareness should be raised among the people. We should make our girls properly educated and self-reliant. It is economic empowerment of women which certainly can reduce this problem. Education is must for their economic empowerment. Again, social awareness can play a vital role to reduce this problem. Government, electronic and print media, N.G.O’s and conscious people can also play an important role to remove this social curse.  In a word “we should not take dowry and we should not give dowry.”

ENVIRONMENT POLLUTION

All the elements around us are jointly known as environment. Environment pollution means the contamination of the surroundings. Any abnormal change of environment in chemical, physical and biological characteristics is called environment pollution. Environment is the whole system of our existence. Our environment is becoming polluted everyday for several reasons. Human beings are mainly responsible for environment pollution. Abnormal growth of population & massive industrialization are two major causes of environment pollution. Both the two are responsible for deforestation. Smoke from mills factories, motor vehicles, burning of fossils, fuels and tar pollutes air. Wastes of mills and factories and unsanitary latrines pollute water. Insecticides and chemicals used by the farmers, dumping of oil, food waste and human waste by the water vassals also pollute water. On the other hand, filth and garbage pollutes our land. Pollution destroys ecological balance. If we want to live a healthy and happy life, we should keep our environment clean and free from pollution. Government as well as all conscious people should come forward to stop environment pollution.

RULES OF KEEPING GOOD HEALTH

In order to keep good health, one should follow certain rules of health. One should take regular physical exercise, proper rest or sleep and above all, a balanced diet. A balanced diet always does not mean a costly food. One should take food considering its food value. A balanced diet contains all ingredients of food-carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamin, mineral salt and water. As most of the people of our country are poor so they cannot manage all the foods necessary for maintaining good health. Even many rich and educated people of our country do not know the rules of good health. As a result, they suffer from various kind of health related problem. So, we all should follow the rules of keeping good health to live a happy life.

We all should plant and grow more and more trees and protect them. Trees add to the beauty and quality of our life and living. We have to plant trees in every bare space of land, the sea beaches, the low –lying areas, the road sides should be brought under deforestation. We cannot think our existence without trees. People should grow more and more trees to improve our adverse situation. The result of tree plantation will be positive for human being in every sphere of life. Government as well as all conscious people should take necessary action regarding this matter.

TRAFFIC JAM

Again, vehicles on the roads are increasing day by day but our roads are not increasing in that extent. Traffic jam causes untold suffering to the people. They can not reach to their destination in time. It kills our valuable time and hampers our work. Patients on the way to hospitals suffer a lot and sometimes die.      In a word, it is a course for us. So, this problem should be solved as early as possible.
