I am going to begin my real life out of the shell of security of my parents. What I know and understand about being a teenager is happiness, parties, friendship and attraction.

Short Article on \’Child Labour in India\’ (400 Words)

In India, there are several temples of \’Bal Ganesh\’, \’Bal Gopal\’, ‘Bal Krishna’, ‘Bal Hanuman’ ie Childhood of God. According to Hindu philosphy, a child is considered to be form of God. India is better known to be the country of Dhruv, Prahlad, Lav-Kush and Abhimanyu, the children having talents wisdom, intelligency and warriership. Apart from this, present day picture of poor Indian child is very dark. The poor child is the most neglected, most exploited and the most abused. Female child is the most deprived and under privileged of the whole class of such children. The girls are not only withdrawn from schools and forced to indulge in child labour but they are even dragged in the prostitution.

Child labour is violation of human rights and is considered to be a ‘necessary evil’ in any country in the whole world.. It hampers their normal and natural physical, mental, spritual, intellectual, emotional, moral and social development. Children are doing work as domestic servants. They are employed in hotels, workshops, service stations, shops, construction sites and pulling rickshaws etc. They are even working in hazardous and unhygienic forms of labour in manufacturing factories.

Article 24 of the Constitution of India, 1950 says, “No child below the age of fourteen years shall be employed to work in any factory or mine or employed in any hazardous employment”. Indian legislature has also enacted the Factories Act, 1948 , The Children Act, 1960, The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986 etc. for the protection of rights of children. Article 45 of the Constitution of India, 1950 casts duty on the State to pendeavour to provide free and compulsory education to the children. Article 25(2) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights also states about the special care and assistance for the motherhood and children.

For the past few years, work done by the Government of India and the States Government in this issue is praiseworthy. Many new schemes and policies are introduced for the education and betterment of the children. But, this problem is still in existence in India even though all these policies are available in India.

There may no other opinion that child labour should be restricted and if possible completely vanished. It is a socio-economic national problem, which requires close analysis and practical solutions to meet with this burning question.

Short Paragraph on \’Lightning Conductor\’ (140 Words)

The \’Lightning Conductor\’ consists of a long rod or a strip of metal running from the top of the building to be protected from destruction by lightning down to the earth. The upper end of the rod is furnished with sharp points and the lower end is fixed to metal plate well buried in wet earth. During a thunder storm, when a charged cloud passes above the points of the lightning conductor, induced charge of the opposite kind accumulates at the points. This results in charging of the air particles by contact around the points. This creates an electric wind directed towards the cloud. The cloud thereby becomes gradually discharged. If, on other hand, the difference of potential between the cloud and the conductor is so great as to produce a discharge, lightning conductor passes on the discharge to earth without damaging the building.

Short Debate on \’Should Students be allowed to carry Mobile Phones to School\’ [FOR] (254 Words)

The future is here, time has changed. With today\’s world becoming so technological, it is important that students should incorporate technology and communication into their daily lives. Cell phones are great, they enhance learning. But there can also be a distraction if students use them in the wrong way. When it comes to allowance of cell phones what matters is that students should be mature enough to use it justifiably.

Whenever teacher is teaching, he or she can ask the students to search for various answers on the Internet through the cell phones. By this way students will also take interest in studies.

While doing studies, students can also use cell phones for other purposes like for calculations which are complex through calculator. They can also use cell phones as dictionary for searching meanings of different words.

Students can record video or audio of what teacher teaches during his or her class and can watch it or listen to it later in the hour of need. Cell phones can also be useful to students doing adversity and problems. Cell phones will also minimize the educational expenses.

If it is a battle worth to ban or not, to ban the cell phones altogether, I feel that finding positive uses for this might become the key to success in the field of education. All we have to do is to find a balance. Nothing can replace the basics but, in my opinion, with technology ruling the world, gadgets should be allowed to become a part of the educational scenario.

Short Debate on \’Is 21st Century man really cultured and civilized\’ [AGAINST] (300 words)

Respect and reverence for elders is a key stone of any culture. In 21st Century, man is living in an age where popular culture has almost extinguished the light of manhood. A growing number of young man have never received a vision of what a gentleman can be, this is the real picture of today.

Respect and reverence for elders is demonstrated through endearing customs, like, not sitting while they are standing, even serving their food first. We find the youngsters never using the proper names of their elders too. Today new generation is not touching the feet of all elders, holy men and women in recognition of their great humility and attainment.

There is no end to crimes even after a lot of development but a lot of increase in it. What matters if women are educated in today’s world but the crimes are just upon them at a sight. The youngsters riding motorcycles snatch the jewelleries of women walking on the street etc.

We should never use harsh, angered and indecent language and keep our body healthy and clean. It is very important for a cultured and civilized man to apologize immediately if one touches someone with his shoes or sandals, but in 21st century these things are not happening. The character traits of courage, vision, discipline, loyalty and work ethic are disappearing from this generation of young man. But most importantly they lack the courage to become risk takers and leaders at home, in their community, and at work.

In the End I would like to say that “The quest for true manhood, authentic leadershi

\’Brain Drain\’ is the migration of talented persons like doctors, engineers, lawyers, teachers and technicians from their home country to a foreign country for higher remuneration and better working conditions. It is a troublesome problem from developing countries like India which cannot pay high salaries nor wish to curtail the individual’s personal freedom permitted in democracies.
