What does the word hope mean to you? Hope means many different things to different people. For some, hope is about expecting to get promoted. For some, hope is about living in better conditions, or the next day being better than today. Hope is an optimistic state of mind which is based on an expectation of positive outcome. Hope is humanity’s weapon against suffering and doom. You might have heard about the ‘Pandora’s box’. In Greek mythology, Pandora’s box was an artifact. Pandora’s curiosity led her to open a box, which released many curses on humanity. In the end when Pandora was depressed and regretted her decision, Hope came out. This tells us the importance and power of hope. Hope stands alone against all the evils.
Hope gives us the strength to stay strong and face the challenges. But why are we talking about hope? During the pandemic, when we feel that we are lost, doomed, bent to suffering, hope can lift us up. The hope that we will make it out, the hope that these days too shall pass, will surely enable us to sail through these dark times.
Emily Dickinson once said- “ Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.”
I believe this is a very beautiful way to express the meaning of hope. Hope lifts our soul when we feel low. To further our understanding of hope, I wish to share a story.
Long time ago, there lived a poor orphaned girl, Belia. Only once had she seen her parents, that too when they left her in the hands of mother nature at the age of 4. She lived in an old hut along with another girl, Susan, who too had been abandoned by her once mother. Now they lived in destitute conditions in the lonely woods.
“Susie! Come.” called Belia. They headed to the river to gather some berries, if there were any left. Day by day, man was growing fond of exploiting nature. Last year, they strolled in the meadows and made beautiful garlands. But now, the meadows were cleared, leaving hardly any flowers for the girls. As they walked past the cleared meadow, Belia said, “I tell you Susie, one day, we will have our flowers back.” Susan sighed and replied, “Lia, please stop dreaming. They are gone forever. They are never coming back.” Belia smiled and rushed to the river. “I don’t know how or when, but I know they surely will, Susie.” said Belia.
Seasons changed, the girls found themselves famished. There were hardly any berries left, or money. They became fragile and lethargic due to starvation. Susan burst out into tears, ”No one cares if we live or die. I can’t bear this anymore.” Belia consoled her, ”Susie, don’t worry, someday soon we will have lots of food. Let’s go to the town to see if we find any.” Susan had lost her strength, ”No! We will die of starvation. I no longer wish to survive.” Saying this she lay down. Belia was too hopeful to give up, ”If you are unable to walk, I will go and bring some food. I know, I will find some.” Belia set out to the town. She sang merrily in her journey, as if she was a princess. She came by a big house. There she requested them to give some bread. After a long while of seeking their charity, the house Mistress gave her two pieces of bread. She rejoiced and turned back to her hut.
Unfortunately, while crossing the river back home, her foot slipped and her basket fell into the river. She put in all of her remaining energy in chasing it. It was futile. She was panting, and fell to the ground with despair. She looked at the sky and begged for food. She heard a dulcet melody. She followed the song. The melody was coming from a few miles away. She walked and walked. Whenever the thought of giving up came to her mind, the melody relit the hope within her. Finally, she reached a pond, surrounded by trees, from whose branches hung red apples, however the melody had stopped. She jumped with joy and plucked an apple. She relished her apple. Then plucked a few more, tied them in her frock and hurried to the hut.
Susan lay there on the cold ground. Belia tried waking her up. However, Susan lay there still. She truly had given up.

The Hindu Succession Act, 1956 is an act that codifies the laws relating to intestate succession. It is applicable to all people who are are Hindus, and also includes Jains, Sikhs, Buddhists and Sikhs. The Hindu Succession Act continues with the dual mode of devolution of property under the Mitakshara. The Hindu Succession Act is based on the principle of propinquity. It gives preference to the heirs on the basis of proximity of relationship. Heirs are categorised into Class I heirs (Immediate family members) and Class II heirs (In the absence of Class I heirs, the property goes to them). This act was amended in 2005.
The Hindu Succession Act, 1956
Post independence, a significant change was introduced to Hindu succession laws. This was a revolutionary considering the position at that point of time. The Hindu Succession Act was enacted in 1956. This act granted right to inheritance to females. Section 6 gave women the right to inherit property like a son. It categorised people with right to inherit as class I heirs, class II heirs, agnates, cognates and others. This act was based on the principle of propinquity. That is, to grant a share of property to the nearest relatives. This act assumed a hypothetical situation of the way it would have been shared before the death of the coparcener. This act did not grant rights to people who had left the group of coparceners. Section 6 of this act talks about devolution of interest in joint Hindu family. It says that after the death of a Hindu male, the property will pass on by survivorship. This means the surviving heirs will get the share. In the presence of female heirs, the interest will devolve by succession. In such a scenario, the survivorship mode of devolution will not be followed. There is an exception to provision that states the property shall pass on by survivorship. If a coparcener dies, leaving behind female heirs the property shall pass on by intestate or testamentary succession. The survivorship mode of devolution will not followed in this case. The survivorship mode of devolution is applicable only to cases in which, the coparcener dies, without leaving behind female heirs. This is also applicable when the coparcener has not made any wills.
The most important section of this section talks about the devolution of interest and interest in coparenery property. This is done on the basis of notional partition. Every surviving member receives a share. It divides property as if the property had been divided before the death of the coparcener. The person who has left the coparcenery cannot claim his share of property. He loses his right to claim property the moment he quits coparcenery. In Shyama Devi v Manju Shukla, it was clearly explained that the share would be divided assuming the divison had happened during the life of the coparcener. After the death, the property devolves to surviving heirs. The sons get their share before others and then for others. One major drawback was the law did not deal with the exclusive rights of members of coparceners. This act codifies and forms uniform law for all who were practising different laws. This act applies to all Hindus. Hindu is defined in section 2 of the act. At that time, proposal to provide equal share for women received a lot of criticism and opposition. As a result, females were not included as coparceners. It denied admission of women to the group of coparceners. This meant that they did not have right to inherit ancestral property. Even after providing property rights to women, this act was still discriminatory.
This act introduced some major changes regarding intestate succession among Hindus. It was to improve the social status of a woman. This act governs all the people who previously followed Mitakshara and Dayabhaga schools and other schools in different parts of the country. This act governs all Hindus. This law is not applicable to people married under the Special Marriage Act 1954. Section 4 repeals all previously existing customs and laws related to interstate succession by force of law. This act abolished unbiased estate. The method of substituting unbiased estate was also abolished. According to this act, the land devolved through the husband’s descendants. The husband did not have any position. Rule of survivorship has little applicability in this act. This principle or rule can be applied if there are surviving coparceners. After the death of Mitakshara coparcener, the property will not devolve according to rule of survivorship.
The principle on which the law is based is called the doctrine/principle of propinquity. The nearest blood relation. As discussed above, there are four categories. Each category excludes the other. The heirs in Class I inherit simultaneously. They are preferential sharers. They share property along with each other. The second class heirs get property only in the absence of first category. Similarly, the other categories get property only in the absence of the preceding category. Hindu women’s restricted property was abolished by this act. This act is also known for granting women the right to dispose of their property in the way they desire. This act brought order to women’s succession of property. If she dies intestate, the property will pass on to her children and spouse. The parents and their heirs come later in the order. If her share is not issued the parent and their heirs will get the property on her death. This act introduces general rules for succession. It deals with things like preference of heirs of executors to half blood (only in the case where the nature of relationship is the same). It deals with case where two or more heirs succeed to land of the intestate. In this case, they are forbidden to receive their portion. This act dismissed exclusion on the basis of defects or deformity. Restriction of property to a widow of a late son who remarries, widow of a brother and widow of late son’s son is not touched upon by this act. There is no change regarding this. This act denies right to criminals. This act introduced a change in laws relating to converts. According to this law, convert who previously were denied share got rights to property. However, the heirs of the convert are not eligible to inherit property.
The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005
The need to bring amendment to the previous act was understood and this resulted in the amendment act. The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 was passed in 2005. The main issue in the previous act was Section 6. The major drawback of this act was it did not include women as coparceners. It did not grant women the right to ancestral property. The amendment act introduced changes to this section.
The second major change was omission of Section 23. The section 23 of the previous act did not allow women to claim right to partition of dwelling house. Other major changes introduced by this are Section 4(2). This section was omitted. This section was criticised as partial. This section did not permit the division of agricultural land. It forbade tenancy rights. The agricultural land was exempted from the scope of law. This did not allow women to claim a share in such property. Again this act was discriminatory in nature. So, the amendment act omitted this section. This enables women to claim a share in agricultural land.
The most important change was change in Section 6. The amendment act deleted the previous provisions in this act. This act included women to the group of members called coparceners. Making women coparcener allowed them to claim equal share to all kinds of property. Now women, by birth, acquired rights similar to that of a man. Until this point, a female was treated like an alien to the joint Hindu family property. This enabled her to claim interest in the undivided property. The right to property indicates the social status of a person. This amendment act by quashing this discriminatory section elevated the status of women. Right to property allows a woman to be independent. The kind of property she is allowed to inherit also matters.
Prior to this act, women’s property was strictly restricted to donated property called Stridhan. When it came to other kinds of property, she was not allowed to get a share without the permission of the husband. She had limited or restricted rights when it came to other kinds of property. This restricted her to a limited owner. This was recognised in 1937 act. But this recognition was restricted to widows. This also forbade her to individually dispose of the property. She needed permission from other male members to transfer property. This act is considered as major leap towards equality.
The changes or regulations introduced by the 1956 act wasn’t sufficient. Even after 1956, women were not treated as equals. The amendment act, by including women as coparceners, achieved what previous laws failed to achieve. The group of coparceners was no longer an exclusive group. This group lost its relevance as all could inherit now. The amendment act allowed women or granted her rights to seek partition. This allowed her to claim her due share of property. Now, she had a right in joint Hindu family property. This act is not applicable to testamentary succession. The next change introduced by this act was in Section 23. Section 23 of the previous act forbade women to claim a share in the dwelling house. Dwelling house is her birth house, to which she became an alien after her marriage. After her marriage, the dwelling house was occupied by male heirs. They were the exclusive owners of this property. The amended acted deleted this section. Women now were able to seek partition of the dwelling house. Married women could claim their share in the property. Another major change was in section 24. This section was omitted in the amendment act. This section was discriminatory towards widow of a predeceased son, widow of a predeceased son of a predeceased son and widow of a brother after another marriage. This was based on the reason that a widow ceases to to be a surviving partner after her marriage with another man. So, she was not granted right to property. This section was particularly discriminatory towards these women alone. When it came to the widow of the intestate, it took a different stance. Widow of an intestate was allowed to claim a share in the property. This right existed even after another marriage. This again manifested the partial and unequal nature of laws. This was contradictory to the spirit of the constitution. This fault was corrected in the amendment act of 2005. The first two types of widows, mentioned above, were included in class I heirs. The third type of widow was included as an agnate. They were invested with property rights immediately after the death of the intestate according to the amendment act. The amendment act makes her an absolute owner. This is mentioned in Section 15 of the Hindu Succession (Amendment) act, 2005. Section 25 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 was omitted in the amendment act. The next major change introduced in the amendment act was with regards to Section 30 of the Hindu Succession Act. The amendment act brought changes to the previous section that was discriminatory. This act replaced the words “disposed by him” with the words “disposed by him or by her”. The discriminatory nature of the previous law was changed.
Other minor changes introduced by the amendment act was with regards to things like adding extras to the schedule of class I heir. This gave equal rights the descendants of daughters. The new version treated the descendants of the daughters equally like the descendants of the sons. This was major change. This changed the gender discriminatory nature of Hindu laws.
Night time I was thinking about the situation I am in and most of my other friend like you might have this question some where inside your head.
I am not a genius or a very educated or an aged person who have the knowledge on that but as per my personal experience. You should do the things what makes you Happy.
If you are not happy with your work that doesn’t matter
How much money you make?
How big your house is?
How expensive things you can have or you can buy?
How expensive lifestyle you may get?
How many top beard pet you can have?
Not a single thing make you happy the is a very popular quote says “Money can’t buy your happens ” I myself read this so many time in books or in any social media but today I can feel this.
My father is a government employee and my sister is a private one so I felt like I can compare things as I am seeing things just inside my home.
It just like 9-6 desk Job, Its very easy to say but in reality, if you join private sector then every day is a challenging day. Every hours you have to ask for an update and you need to give update to other. Every minutes you might be in a situation to loss your temper. Every second will be like Am I Doing What I Suppose To DO!!! but in a same page she realized, she explored so many cites and seen so many cultures in India as she was posted at different-different places. She felt lucky that she could explore that much in her life. She did stopped her learning as a IT worker. if you stop learning and enhancing you skill then there will be no place to you.
She always said “Joining a IT company or any private sector is easy but staying there is really hard”
If you are in Private sector, hardly you will give time to your family, because every Day comes with a new responsibility and a new dead line. She (my Sister), is 25 yr youth as I mentioned she worked 10-11 hr./Day due to this she started suffering some heath issue like Eye/ back pain, some mental issue like short temper and all she is having a full working day scheduled she give us time very rarely. Todays she took off as she was noticing we are are not happy and we enjoyed. I would not say she is not happy with her job she is just full occupied and fully busy that is why she started missing her happy life. But she felt very lucky that as a lady she is earning she is independent and strong woman she can do what she want to do!!
At the same my father is in his retirement days, he is earning as my sister but he seems very happy with his job. He teaches us, made us what we are now!! He giving us time.
My father said “As a general category student it very hard to join a Government sector but once you Join there is no need to worry about you future “
So now what the conclusion, Its just both sectors are equal, you should do what make you happy because if you are happy you can achieve everything and you can work any where.
If you are in this dilemma You should must watch below mentioned web series only when you are free soo…!
According to Hindu menology, after 84 lac yoni (योनि) with good Karma you will get the human body. If you have this after so many hard work and time so why waste it. In this life, you have to work hard in all the stages of your life. You can do it in your school/ college and if you waste your childhood and adulthood simply doing nothing then you have to work really harder after you cross 25 because that time you are not a kid any more yo just can’t sit and study you have to work as well to feed your family.
Racism is a political ideology of the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to physical appearance and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another. It may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because they are of different ethnicity.
While the concepts of race and ethnicity are considered to be separate in contemporary social science, the two terms have a long history of equivalence in popular usage and older social science literature. “Ethnicity” is often used in a sense close to one traditionally attributed to “race”: the division of human groups based on qualities assumed to be essential or innate to the group (e.g. shared ancestry or shared behavior). Therefore, racism and racial discrimination are often used to describe discrimination on an ethnic or cultural basis, independent of whether these differences are described as racial. According to a United Nations convention on racial discrimination, there is no distinction between the terms “racial” and “ethnic” discrimination. The UN Convention further concludes that superiority based on racial differentiation is scientifically false, morally condemnable, socially unjust, and dangerous. The convention also declared that there is no justification for racial discrimination, anywhere, in theory, or in practice.
Racism is a relatively modern concept, arising in the European age of imperialism, the subsequent growth of capitalism, and especially the Atlantic slave trade, of which it was a major driving force. It was also a major force behind racial segregation especially in the United States in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and South Africa under apartheid; 19th and 20th-century racism in Western culture is particularly well documented and constitutes a reference point in studies and discourses about racism. Racism has played a role in genocides such as the Holocaust, the Armenian genocide, and the genocide of Serbs, as well as colonial projects including the European colonization of the Americas, Africa, and Asia as well as the Soviet deportations of indigenous minorities. Indigenous peoples have been—and are—often subject to racist attitudes.
Though many countries around the globe have passed laws related to race and discrimination, the first significant international human rights instrument developed by the United Nations (UN) was the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. The UDHR recognizes that if people are to be treated with dignity, they require economic rights, social rights including education, and the rights to cultural and political participation and civil liberty. It further states that everyone is entitled to these rights “without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status”.
1. Acknowledge racism in all its forms
This first step to ending racism is to recognize its existence. Many people think of racism as always overtly blatant or intentional, but racism comes in many forms. In the United States, studies show there’s bias in every sector of society from healthcare to housing to media. Job applicants with “stereotypical” African-American names are less likely to get called for an interview, while around the world, the beauty industry celebrates fair skin while degrading dark skin tones. It’s also important to understand the history and evolution of racism. Things like poll taxes and literacy tests kept people from voting. While these laws didn’t explicitly mention race, they intended to target marginalized groups.
2. Overturn racist and discriminatory laws
Getting rid of laws that negatively and disproportionately affect certain races is a vital part of ending systemic racism. It isn’t enough to simply acknowledge that a law has a racist intent or effect; it needs to be overturned. There are many examples of systemic racism around the world. In the United States, systemic racism is found in healthcare, banking, and education. In South Africa, the apartheid system (1948-1994) ensured that the white population stayed on top politically, socially, and economically, while black Africans were the most disenfranchised. China has a reputation for systemic racism against Black people in their universities. In 2020, the local Guangzhou government implemented strict surveillance and forced quarantines for all African nationals in response to Covid-19.
3. Commit to anti-racism
On an individual level, people must commit to being anti-racist for racism to end. While we just mentioned that systemic racism wouldn’t end even if everyone stopped being racist overnight, that first step in personal anti-racism is necessary for people to fight to end racist systems. Anti-racism is a lifelong pursuit. It isn’t an accomplishment you can check off a list; it’s a continuous self-reflection and willingness to be held accountable. To be anti-racist, you must acknowledge differences rather than pretending they aren’t there. As an example, when addressing the gender pay gap, it’s essential to acknowledge that white women make more than Black, Hispanic, and Native women. At the same time, anti-racists must also identify the common goals they share with other racial groups. This helps build solidarity.
Jeffrey Preston “Jeff Bezos” was born on the 12th of January 1964 in Albuquerque, Modern Mexico. His father,Ted Jorgenson, was one of the best unicyclists and part of a local troupe The Unicycle Wranglers who put on execution at county fairs and sideshows whereas Jeff was still an infant Jeff Bezos has gone to River Oaks Elementary School in Houston from the fourth to sixth review. He would spend summers at the farm working on changed assignments such as fixing windmills, laying pipe, vaccinating cattle, and other cultivate work. His grandfather, Lawrence Gise, was a huge role demonstrate in his life, with this wide-ranging information of science and steady nearness on the ranch as well. Within the year 2010 commencement speech, Jeff told graduates that his grandfather instructed him how “it is harder to be kind than clever”. Bezos has begun his first business at school. It was called The Dream Institute, and it was an educational summer camp for fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. There were a few books that Bezos required his members to examined. After a while, the time period, Jeff’s family was moved to Florida and was transferred to Miami Palmetto Senior Tall School, where he exceeded expectations at his studies and realized he adores computers. He was even welcomed to take part in the Student Science Preparing Program at the College of Florida, where he won a Silver Knight Grant in 1982 and was a National Justify Scholar. Bezos graduated as the school valedictorian and a National Justify Scholar, securing his spot at Princeton University. Bezos arranged to study physics at Princeton University, but he before long decided to return to his love of computers. He graduates with two Bachelor of Science degrees in computer science and electrical design from Princeton University. After the completion of his graduation, Bezos went to Wall Road, where computer science was progressively in demand, and worked in several firms. The Work at FITFEL had him flying each week between New York and London. Bezos remained in the fund realm with the Bankers Trust, where he rose to vice president and the investment firm D.E. Shaw. The company specialized in the application of computer sciences to the stock market, and Bezos was hired for his by and large ability within the field at D.E Shaw. Amazon career is the major step of Jeff Bezos’s success story. Bezos quit D.E Shaw in 1994 and moved to Seattle to press into the possibilities of the internet market by opening a web bookstore. He made the decision by drawing up a list of possible items that he might offer with the assistance of the internet, including programs, CDs, and hardware. In the conclusion, books were the choice because of the wide run of titles in presence. Another advantage of an internet store was a then-recent US Preeminent Court administering that mail-order catalogs did not have to be compelled to pay charges in states where they did not have a physical presence. In a nutshell, Bezos paid zero tax for the item he sold through the internet. Bezos chose that Seattle would be a perfect pet for his new business at the time since of the huge pool of hi-tech ability. Bezos has supervision to secure $1 million from his companions and family, sufficient to set up his business within the garage of his Seattle domestic. Bezos at first consolidated the company as “Cadabra” on the 5th of July 1994. In addition, a year afterward, he considered changing it when his attorney misheard the word “Cadaver”, but that was not the most exceedingly bad one. Another alternative was “MakeltSo”, a catchphrase from Captain Picard in Jeff adored Star Trek.it seems to have moreover been “Aard,” which would help push the company to the front of the site postings. Jeff too enlisted the domain names Awake.com, Browse.com, Bookmall.com, and Relentless.com. At last, Bezos has chosen Amazon after looking through the words that begin within the dictionary. Bezos liked the reverberation between one of the planet’s longest streams and the biggest bookstore.
The social issue is a problem that influences by many citizens within a society.
Social issue be a group of common problem in present society and one that many people struggle to solve. Social issues are distinguished from economic issues. Some issues have both social and economic aspects, such as immigration. There are also issues that don’t fall into either category, such as wars.
The definition of a social problem has both an objective component and a subjective component. The objective component involves empirical evidence of the negative consequences of a social condition or behavior, while the subjective component involves the perception that the condition or behavior is indeed a problem that needs to be addressed.
social issues influence society
Slow social change is desirable, but rapid social change threatens social order. Social problems weaken a society’s stability but do not reflect fundamental faults in how the society is structured. Solutions to social problems should take the form of gradual social reform rather than sudden and far-reaching change.
COVID-19 from 2020 is the hell of the year for all of us . the world facing many issues in this pandemic situation . many of people lose thire dear and nears ones and many of finacial supports many of the people become homeless, they don’t have proper food to continue thire lifes
In every conntry thire many of issues facing in society , in this pandemic the people facing issues are:
Suicide Prevention
With so many people forced into lockdown and isolation over the last year, many people have suffered from poor mental health. In Victoria alone, there has been a 40% spike in calls to various mental health hotlines as a consequence of COVID-19, and it is now more important than it ever has been to pay attention to the struggles of millions of people around the world
Family Violence
Another victim of the pandemic are families who are in dangerous situations due to loss of work, lockdowns and being isolated from the public. Record rates of family violence were recorded in 2020, and cases have increased dramatically, resulting in many support services struggling to help those in need
The Rise In Homelessness
Over the last year, the number of people who have been forced into homelessness has surged as short-term coronavirus and housing protections have phased down. Due to loss of income, many families have had to bear the burden of being kicked out of housing due to an inability to pay rent.
Our Ecological Crisis
Poverty and pandemic aside, another issue we are facing is the ecological crisis due to the collapse of ecosystems and troubling disappearance of biodiversity. Although the slowdown in economic activity due to COVID-19 created a very brief reduction in global carbon emissions, it is impossible to ignore the mounting effects of unchecked human activity over the last decade or so
Speeding Up The Vaccine Rollout
Last but certainly by no means the least, 2021 will see the COVID-19 vaccines being rolled out in most countries around the world. Although more than 360 million vaccine doses have been administered, there is a troubling gap between vaccination programmes in various countries, with many yet to report even a single dose.
Common of Social Issues
Poverty and Homelessness. Poverty and homelessness are worldwide problems. …
Climate Change. A warmer, changing climate is a threat to the entire world. …
Overpopulation. …
Immigration Stresses. …
Civil Rights and Racial Discrimination. …
Gender Inequality. …
Health Care Availability. …
Childhood Obesity.
Poverty and Homelessness
Poverty and homelessness are worldwide problems. According to Habitat for Humanity, one-quarter of the world’s population lives in conditions that harm their health and safety. Many do not have shelter, a basic human need for survival.
This social issue also goes beyond the 25% of the population directly affected. Because of the lack of shelter for this vulnerable population, there is greater stress on government and social programs, including schools and healthcare systems.
Climate Change
A warmer, changing climate is a threat to the entire world. Climate change affects the entire world population, and the Union of Concerned Scientists calls this social issue “one of the most devastating problems humanity has ever faced.”
The 800 million people already living in extreme poverty will be impacted most severely. Around the world, people are already noticing warmer winters, more severe storms and rainfall events, and more frequent wildfires. These issues already put stress on governments and systems in many countries.
Overpopulation
As the population of the world grows, resources become scarcer. The United Nations reports that the current population of 7.7 billion people is expected to grow in coming decades, with a projection of 8.5 billion people by 2030.
The fastest growing areas of the world, such as sub-Saharan Africa, often face already scarce resources like land for farming. As the population becomes more than the country can sustain, people will need to move elsewhere to avoid starvation and homelessness.
Immigration Stresses
People move from one country to another, and in itself, this isn’t a social problem. However, immigration can place stress on government programs and social systems within a country, and it can be a divisive topic in a society. These immigration-related stresses affect many people.
Civil Rights and Racial Discrimination
Civil rights, or the rights of citizens in a country to have equal treatment socially and politically, is another one of the most significant social issues in America and around the world. More than 40 years after the Civil Rights Act passed, almost 60% of African Americans still live in segregated neighborhoods and 90% of African Americans report that racial discrimination is still a major problem.
Gender Inequality
A report from the Pew Research Center Fact Tank indicates that about 50% of Americans feel the country needs to do more to address the income gap between men and women. Women still lag behind men in wages and top leadership positions held, although they are now more likely to attain a college degree.
Worldwide, the situation is even more extreme. UNICEF reports that 12 million girls are married before they reach adulthood, and 98 million high school-aged girls do not attend school.
Health Care Availability
When people are sick or hurt, they need access to medical care to get better. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), almost one in 20 U.S. citizens do not obtain needed medical care because of the cost. Worldwide, 97 million people become impoverished by seeking needed medical care, as reported by the World Health Organization (WHO). Governments around the world are working on this problem, as are nonprofit organizations.
Childhood Obesity
Some types of social problems are health-based, but they also have an impact on socio-economic issues. For instance, the CDC reports that 18.5% of U.S. children are considered obese, having a body mass index at or above the 95th percentile.
However, the childhood obesity epidemic doesn’t affect all children equally. Children in families where the parents have more education and higher incomes are far less likely to be obese than those in families with less education and lower incomes.
Poor Leadership
Many of the social problems in society are connected in subtle ways, but all social problems are connected to the leadership of countries, corporations, and other groups. An ongoing Gallup poll asks Americans to rate the most important problems and social issues facing the country. By far, the most significant issue was poor leadership; 28% of respondents list it as the number one problem.
Social Issues Teens facing
Advances in technology mean today’s teens are facing issues that no previous generation has ever seen. While some issues are not exactly new, electronic media has changed or amplified some of the struggles young people face.
Depression
According to The National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 3.2 million adolescents in the United States had at least one major depressive episode in 2017. That means about 13% of teenagers may experience depression before reaching adulthood.
Depressive disorders are treatable, but it’s important to seek professional help. If your teen seems withdrawn, experiences a change in his sleep patterns, or starts to perform badly in school, schedule an appointment with your teen’s physician or contact a mental health professional. Do not delay getting help for your teen if you notice these symptoms
Bullying
It’s also important to talk to your child about when and how to get help from an adult. Remind them that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but instead a show of courage. Talking about how someone has humiliated them is never an easy topic.
Sexual Activity
Of the 20 million new sexually transmitted diseases each year, more than half were among young people between the ages of 15 and 24.
Parents may not be aware that their children are sexually active, however. Talk to your teen about sex, even if you don’t think your child is engaging in sexual activity.
Drug an Alcohol use
Make sure you have regular conversations with your teen about the dangers of drugs. And don’t forget to mention the dangers of prescription drugs, too. Many teens do not recognize the dangers of taking a friend’s prescription or popping a few pills that are not prescribed to them.
Unfortunately, teens often underestimate how easy it is to develop an addiction. And they don’t understand the risks associated with overdosing. Be sure you are talking about these risks on a consistent basis.
Fixing Social Issues
Although many Americans feel their leaders are the biggest problem they face, governments, corporations, and communities are working to fix some of the top social issues. These are just a few of the actions they are taking:
Schools are implementing anti-bullying programs, which the PACER National Bullying Preventions Center says can decrease bullying by up to 25%.
Community efforts to help reduce childhood obesity include adding salad bars to school lunches, focusing on physical fitness, and adding obesity prevention initiatives to hospitals.
The U.S. enacted the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to begin addressing the challenges in health care availability, and it remains an important political issue.
The European Union is on track to meet its goals for reducing carbon emissions and helping mitigate the effects of climate change. Other countries are also working hard to make progress.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India’s independence from British rule and in turn inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā , first applied to him in 1914 in South Africa, is now used throughout the world.
Born and raised in a Hindu family in coastal Gujarat, western India, Gandhi trained in law at the Inner Temple, London, and was called to the bar at age 22 in June 1891. After two uncertain years in India, where he was unable to start a successful law practice, he moved to South Africa in 1893 to represent an Indian merchant in a lawsuit. He went on to live in South Africa for 21 years. It was in South Africa that Gandhi raised a family and first employed nonviolent resistance in a campaign for civil rights. In 1915, aged 45, he returned to India. He set about organising peasants, farmers, and urban labourers to protest against excessive land-tax and discrimination. Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding women’s rights, building religious and ethnic amity, ending untouchability, and above all for achieving swaraj or self-rule.
Also in 1921, Gandhi adopted the use of an Indian loincloth (short dhoti) and a shawl (in the winter) woven with yarn hand-spun on a traditional Indian spinning wheel (charkha) as a sign of identification with India’s rural poor. He also began to live modestly in a self-sufficient residential community, ate simple vegetarian food, and undertook long fasts as a means of self-purification and political protest. Bringing anti-colonial nationalism to the common Indians, Gandhi led them in challenging the British-imposed salt tax with the 400 km (250 mi) Dandi Salt March in 1930 and in calling for the British to quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned many times and for many years in both South Africa and India.
Gandhi’s vision of an independent India based on religious pluralism was challenged in the early 1940s by a new Muslim nationalism which demanded a separate Muslim homeland carved out of India. In August 1947, Britain granted independence, but the British Indian Empire was partitioned into two dominions, the Hindu-majority India and the Muslim-majority Pakistan. As many displaced Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs made their way to their new lands, religious violence broke out, especially in the Punjab and Bengal. Eschewing the official celebration of independence in Delhi, Gandhi visited the affected areas, attempting to provide solace. In the months following, he undertook several hunger strikes to stop religious violence. The last of these, undertaken on 12 January 1948 when he was 78, also had the indirect goal of pressuring India to pay out some cash assets owed to Pakistan. Some Indians thought Gandhi was too accommodating. Among them was Nathuram Godse, a Hindu nationalist who assassinated Gandhi on 30 January 1948 by firing three bullets into his chest.
Gandhi’s birthday, 2 October, is commemorated in India as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, and worldwide as the International Day of Nonviolence. Gandhi is commonly, though not formally, considered the Father of the Nation in India and was commonly called Bapu (Gujarati: endearment for father,papa)
Mohandas Gandhi is one of the most famous leaders and champions for justice in the world. His principles and firm belief in non-violence have been followed by many other important civil rights leaders including Martin Luther King, Jr. and Nelson Mandela. His renown is such that he is mostly just referred to by the single name “Gandhi”.
Mohandas was born in Porbandar, India on October 2, 1869. He came from an upper class family and his father was a leader in the local community. As was tradition where he grew up, Mohandas’ parents arranged a marriage for him at the age of 13. Both the arranged marriage and the young age may seem strange to some of us, but it was the normal way of doing things where he grew up. Mohandas’ parents wanted him to become a barrister, which is a type of lawyer. As a result, when he was 19 years old Mohandas traveled to England where he studied law at the University College London. Three years later he returned to India and started his own law practice. Unfortunately, Mohandas’ law practice wasn’t successful, so he took a job with an Indian Law firm and moved to South Africa to work out of the South African law office. It was in South Africa where Gandhi would experience racial prejudice against Indians and would begin his work in civil rights
Once back in India, Gandhi led the fight for Indian independence from the British Empire. He organized several non-violent civil disobedience campaigns. During these campaigns, large groups of the Indian population would do things like refusing to work, sitting in the streets, boycotting the courts, and more. Each of these protests may seem small by themselves, but when most of the population does them at once, they can have an enormous impact. Gandhi was put in prison several times for organizing these protests. He would often fast (not eat) while he was in prison. The British government would eventually have to release him because the Indian people had grown to love Gandhi. The British were scared what would happen if they let him die. One of Gandhi’s most successful protests was called the Salt March. When Britain put a tax on salt, Gandhi decided to walk 241 miles to the sea in Dandi to make his own salt. Thousands of Indians joined him in his march. Gandhi also fought for civil rights and liberties among Indian people.
Gandhi was assassinated on January 30, 1948. He was shot by a terrorist while attending a prayer meeting.
His birthday is a national holiday in India. It is also the International Day of Non-Violence. He was the 1930 Time Magazine Man of the Year. Gandhi wrote a lot. The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi have 50,000 pages! He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize five times
Your puppies become the spotlight of your house and earn the affection of you as soon as they are joined as your new family member. The training of your paw partner is a crucial part and it becomes a piece of cake when you start it at an early stage. Both puppies and kids replicate the same pace of learning in their formative years. Things to be looked after in the first place are the diet schedule and the places where it has to do its regular activities.
A well-planned diet is a well-planned lifestyle:
Starting off with the diet schedule you must first identify some good puppy foods and feed them to your little paw partners and figure out the foods they like the most and the approximate quantity needed on a meal. Proper feeding times must be scheduled prior and food must be provided to them close to the scheduled times every day. This will make your little friends get adapted to the schedule owing to which they will have a healthy diet.
A play day is always a happy day:
A happy puppy is one that locomotes without any limitations. The place where you reside may or may not have such a comfortable option for the same. So it would be better for your pet playmates if you could train them with the places where they can play and where they must avoid moving in. A proper walk with them in the early mornings and evenings would make them healthier and give them a feel that they are not being confined to stay at one particular place all day. This will also help them to regularize their potty schedules.
A friend by the side is the best place to reside:
Most people are growing a pet in their homes nowadays and your neighbors could be one among them. It is important for the little puppies to know that the pets in your neighborhood are also lovable, friendly as yours and it must not frighten them when they are close to each other. It would be as pretty as a painting if your little paw partner could get some peers at its playtime.
Cleanliness is the best care:
Maintaining a routine to bathe and cleaning your dogs will improve both the health of the dog and the persons living in your household. Initially, certain puppies will not be comfortable for a regular bathe. Playtime in the bathing schedule with their favorite bone toys and products which coils attract them with their flavorful scents will make the situation better. Cleaning of dogs’ ears and eyes must be done in a patient manner for which the puppies must co-operate. While cleaning its ears or eyes a gentle massage or any activity which could make the puppy stay calm must be done. Regular checking for infections must be done at the bathing schedule.
Understanding one is made by observing one:
The new little members of yours will be desperate to return the love you showed to them. It is the time when you teach them about various signs for alerting you, helping you out, and avoiding bitting your kids and other family members.. Make them observe the people who regularly visit the place and understand the difference between those visitors and strangers. Practice them with signs of communication and make sure they respond to those signs appropriately. In case if you have any kids in your house train your dogs not to hurt them by scratching with their nails.
Although the points addressed might seem challenging at the initial stages both you and your puppy will get adapted to it and the cute smile on your canine’s face will make it sound effortless for you.
