A person who has not been completely alienated, who has remained sensitive and able to feel, who has not lost the sense of dignity, who is not yet “for sale”, who can still suffer over the suffering of others, who has not acquired fully the having mode of existence – briefly, a person who has remained a person and not become a thing – cannot help feeling lonely, powerless, isolated in present-day society. He cannot help doubting himself and his own convictions, if not his sanity. He cannot help suffering, even though he can experience moments of joy and clarity that are absent in the life of his “normal” contemporaries. Not rarely will he suffer from neurosis that results from the situation of a sane man living in an insane society, rather than that of the more conventional neurosis of a sick man trying to adapt himself to a sick society. In the process of going further in his analysis, i.e. of growing to greater independence and productivity,his neurotic symptoms will cure themselves.

Social cognition is a sub-topic of social psychology that focuses on how people process, store, and apply information about other people and social situations. It focuses on the role that cognitive processes play in our social interactions. The way we think about others plays a major role in how we think, feel, and interact with the world around us.

Defining Social Cognition
How exactly do psychologists define social cognition? While there is no single definition, there are some common factors that many experts have identified as being important.

Social cognition involves:
The processes involved in perceiving other people and how we come to know about the people in the world around us.
It involves the study of these mental processes that involved in perceiving, remembering, thinking about, and attending to the other people in our social world.
Psychologists are interested in why we attend to certain information about the social world. how this information is stored in memory, and how it is then used to interact with other people.
It is not simply a topic within social psychology – it is an approach to studying any subject with social psychology. Using a social-cognitive perspective, researchers can study a wide range of topics including attitudes, person-perception, prejudice, stereotypes, self-concept, discrimination, persuasion, decision-making, and other areas.
The Role of Social Cognition
For example, imagine that you are getting ready to go on a blind date. Not only do you worry about the impression and signals that you are sending to the other person, you are also concerned with interpreting the signals given by the other individual. How do you form an impression of this person? What meaning do you read into the other person’s behavior?

This is just one example of how social cognition influences a single social interaction, but you can probably think of many more examples from your daily life. We spend a considerable portion of every day interacting with others, which is why an entire branch of psychology formed to help understand how we feel, think and behave in social situations.

The Development of Social Cognition
Developmental psychologists also study how social cognition develops over the course of childhood and adolescence. As children grow, they become more aware not only of their own feelings, thoughts, and motives but also of the emotions and mental states of others. As this awareness increases, children become more adept at understanding how others are feeling, knowing how to respond in social situations, engaging in prosocial behaviors, and taking the perspective of others.

While there are many different theories that look at how social cognition develops, one of the most popular focuses on the work of the psychologist Jean Piaget. According to Piaget, a child’s cognitive development goes through a series of stages.

During the earliest stages of development, children are very egocentric. They see the world from their own perspective and struggle to think about how other people may view the world.
As children grow older, children become increasingly adept at perspective-taking and have an increased ability to think about how and why people act the way they do in social situations.
More recently, research has provided evidence that children develop the ability to think about the perspectives of other people at an earlier age than Piaget previously believed. Even young preschoolers exhibit some ability to think about how other people might view a situation.

One of the most important develops in the early emergence of social cognition is the growth of a theory of mind. A theory of mind refers to a person’s ability to understand and think about the mental states of other people. It is the emergence of a theory of mind that is critical to being able to consider the thoughts, motives, desires, needs, feelings, and experiences that other people may have. Being able to think about how these mental states can influence how people act is critical to forming social impressions and explaining how and why people do the things that they do.

Questions About Social Cognition
So what are some of the different questions related to social cognition that researchers are interested in understanding? Our perceptions of others play such an important role in how we forge relationships, how we interact with others, how we treat others, and how others treat us. Some of the topics that psychologists are interested in when it comes to social cognition include:

How do we interpret other people’s feelings and emotions? How do we figure out what they are thinking or feeling? What cues or indicators do we use to make these assumptions?
What influence do our thoughts have on our feelings?
How do we develop attitudes? What role do these attitudes play in our social lives?
How is self-concept formed and how does it influence our relationships with others?
What mental processes influence person perception, or how we form impressions of other people?
Cultural Differences
Social psychologists have also found that there are often important cultural differences in social cognition. When looking at a social situation, any two people may have wildly different interpretations. Each person brings a unique background of experiences, knowledge, social influences, feelings, and cultural variations.

Some researchers have found that there are also collective, cultural influences that can affect how people interpret social situations. The same social behavior in one cultural setting may have a very different meaning and interpretation if it was to take place in another culture. As people interpret behavior, extract meaning from the interaction, and then act based upon their beliefs about the situation, they are then further reinforcing and reproducing the cultural norms that influence their social cognitions.

Possible Shortcomings
One criticism of some of the research on social cognition suggests that it is too focused on individualistic behavior. Because the topic itself is so social, some suggest that many of the information-processing models that have traditionally been used to understand the cognitive processes behind social cognition are too limited. Focusing more on the collective and interactive aspects of human thought may provide a better understanding of how people think about and understand social behavior.

The Maharashtra government has formed a four-member committee to ascertain the rates of COVID-19 tests conducted at authorised private laboratories in the state and the new rates will be fixed within seven days.
 
AIR correspondent reports that the Indian Council of Medical Research – ICMR has allowed 44 government and 36 private laboratories in the state to carry out coronavirus tests. While the tests are free at government laboratories, the ICMR fixed charges at private laboratories at Rs 4,500.
 
Health Minister Rajesh Tope said that the kits required for conducting the tests were being imported earlier when charges of tests at private laboratories were fixed by ICMR. Now kits are being manufactured in the country itself and are available. Hence, ICMR has conveyed to negotiate with the private laboratories and fix the test rate.
 
It added that the rates will be finalised in seven days. It further said that the private laboratories can charge for tests at current rates, fixed for the district in which they are located, till the new rates are finalised. Meanwhile, in its advisory, BMC said that all corona positive patients who do not have symptoms or have mild symptoms, need not rush to the big hospitals for admission when the test result is positive. It said that Heatlh Department will guide such people for the same to nearby Corona care centers.

Inequality refers to unequal treatment. On gender inequality index rank is 132 out of 187 countries. In India women’s don’t get that much priority as compared to men in most of the areas women’s face a lot of problems. Mostly in rural areas people celebrate the birth of baby boy but don’t celebrate the birth of baby girls. If we compare the literacy rate between men and women we found that the literacy rate of men’s are more than the females most of the parents think that if they educate their daughters its not beneficial for them because tif they educate their daughters then who will look after the household chores .if we see in rural areas we found that women’s are more engaged in agriculture they do all the field works like irrigation, weeding, winnowing, transplanting etc. and also people think that women are not able to do work after marriage or most of the institutions wants male teachers because they think that men’s are capable of doing a lot of things and they think boys are main source of income for their families. So only here women’s face discrimination in work area also they do same work as men but they don’t get equal money for that. the report of Human Development in 2019 says that in 189 countries India’s rank is 129th in [HDI] mainly the human development focuses on the overall growth which also includes economic growth and in 2019 they mainly focused on gender inequality and the report said that the coming generation will focuses more on technology and the report said the rank of India is less than the china in Gender Gap Index because number of women’s participant in labour force are less there are several reasons behind it may be their husband’s don’t allow it or maybe there is safety issue and so on and if we are talking about opportunities women always get less opportunities as compared to men in rural areas women’s don’t work outside the home or usually they work in their own fields in urban areas the report said that girl don’t get opportunity to study further after they reach puberty and boys don’t have any restriction like that they don’t allow their girl child to study and they cut their daughter’s name from the school most of the pregnant ladies use female foeticide which disturbs the male and female ration overall that is 91 girls for every 100 boys
ECONOMIC GROWTH AUTOMATICALLY INCREASES IF THERE IS NO GENDER INEUALITY.
If there is no inequality so women’s started taking part in every sector so their productivity also increases so they produce better goods so after reading a research paper I found that industries which have more female worker grow faster than the industries which don’t have more female worker.
The participation of labour force and growth is lowest as compared to other countries the first think India have to think that how to increase the participation of women’s in labour force then the economic growth already increases for the development we have to remove the gender inequality. Mostly women get chance to those industries where they don’t face any difficulty where people have to think that they have to do those works which don’t require physical work and most of the industries which give opportunity to female want their owner should also be female so they work easily there are some states in India which have female entrepreneurs that is in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Tamil nadu so in India these states have high income as compared to other states
India come to 112th position from 108th position in 2018 in WEF that is world economic forum now its is improved at some extent but some country which have lower rank than India is improving more faster the report said in India the the political gender gap is less than the economic gender gap
Now most of the countries have good gender parity :

1. Iceland [ 87.7%]
2. Norway [84.2%]
3. Finland [83.2%]
4. Sweden [82.0%]
5. New Zealand [79.9%]
   So most of the issues covered by Indian media on gender inequality one of them was Sabarimala temple located in Kerala. In India today newspaper it tells us that women’s don’t allowed in that temple so that the supreme court take action on it and decided to remove this rule so now every women whatever her age is should allowed to go and pray so this is the new step taken in our country to remove the gender inequality because people think that the women’s who menstruate are impure and they don’t go to the temples because temple are pure and this kind of discrimination they faced from several years, so now it is remove.
   Another case was article 377 which in favour of gender equality so these steps are taken to remove the gender inequality
   Now India is improving but in most of the areas women’s are still don’t get equal rights so we have to focus on that area and educate them so that they understand it and give opportunities to their daughters and treat equal because if the women is literate then she will educate their children and society too and also improvement of any country is impossible without gender equality because there are lots of people who have good skills but they don’t have platform to show it so lack of these things also decreases the growth so for better development and growth it is necessary to remove the gender inequality.

The second most populated and the seventh-largest country in the world. A land of culture and values, heritage, spirituality. A country blessed with all possible geographic features i.e. plain, dessert, plateau, mountains, island and grassland etc. Land of many religion, languages, spices, festivals. A country who gifted Yoga and Ayurveda to the world. It also called the soil of kings and legends, soldier, farmers, doctors, scientists. We are diverted cast, religion, language but united by a county named India.

Let’s have a look at some more important, amazing and extraordinary things about our country.

Location

• Lying between latitude 8°4′ N to 37°6′ N and from longitude 68°7′ E to 97°25′ E, the county is divided into almost equal parts by the Tropic of Cancer.

• The 82°30′ E longitude is taken as the Standard Time Meridian of India, as it passes through the middle of India.

Area and boundaries

• India stretches 3,214 km from north to south and 2,933 km from east to west. The area is 32,87,263 sq km. Accounts for 2.4% of the total world area and 16% of the population.

• In India, of the total landmass – Plain: 43.3%, Plateaus: 27.7%, Hills: 18.6%, Mtns: 10.7%

• Total land neighbours: 7 ( Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar)

Position of States in India

• Uttar Pradesh borders maximum number of 8 states.

• Tropic of cancer passed through 8 states – Gujarat, Rajasthan, MP Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura and Mizoram.

• Indian standard Meridian passes through MP, UP, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and Andhra Pradesh.

Mountains of India

• Himalayas

• Trans-Himalayan Zone

• Peninsular Mountains

Plains of India

To the south of the Himalayas and to the north of the Peninsula lies the great plain of Northern India. They are formed by the depositional work of three major river systems, Indus, Ganga, Brahmaputra. The vast plain of north India are alluvial in nature and the westernmost portion is occupied by the Thar Dessert.

Peninsula Plateau

• Spreads south of the Indo Gangetic plains flanked by the sea on the three sides. This plateau is shaped like a triangle with it’s the base in the North.

• Vindhya Plateau is situated south of Malwa plateau.

• The Deccan plateau is the largest plateau in India.

Island of India

• Total coast: 7,516 km largest coastline: Gujarat

• Indian territorial limits include 247 Island.

Rivers of India

Three major river system are there –

• Himalayan river ( Indus system, Ganga system, Brahmaputra system)

• River of the Peninsula ( River flowing into Bay of Bengal, West flowing river)

• Inland Drainage

The Climate of India

• India has a tropical monsoon type of climate. It is greatly influenced by the presence of the Himalayas in the north as they block the cold air masses from Central Asia. It is because of them only that the monsoon have a watershed in India.

The tropic of cancer divides India into two almost equal climatic zones, namely, the northern zone and the southern zone. The warm temperature or the subtropical climate of the northern zone gives it cold winter and the hot summer season. The tropical climatic zone us warmer than the north and does not have a clear cut winter season.

Forests in India

• According to the National Forest Policy, the minimum desired area which is considered safe for the tropical country like India is about 33%. At present, about 20.64% of India has covered with forest.

• Madhya Pradesh has the largest area to total area, first is Andaman and Nicobar Island, followed by Mizoram, Manipur, Himachal Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura and Nagaland. They are in a very comfortable position as more than half of their area is under forest.

• Arunachal Pradesh has the highest per capita forest area.

• In mangrove forest, West Bengal holds the first position, followed by Gujarat and Andaman and Nicobar Island.

There are many things that reflect the beauty of India. The land, environment and people of India are like a gift for the world. At last, I just want to share a quote written by Mohammad Iqbal to justify it all.
