Advertisement

Advertisements have both commercial and advertisement values. In a Capitalistic economy advertisement play very important role. They make the customer aware of the product. They help in branding the product. They even create new customers. We can see advertisement in all electronic media like T.V and radio, print media like newspaper and magazines and public places like railway stations and bus stands etc. Nowadays internet is yet another powerful platform for advertisement. Mobile ads through SMSes are also gaining popularity. Advertisements also create jobs for many adverting agencies, actors, editors etc. It will not be an exaggeration if we say that all TV channels, radio, newspaper, magazines, sports events and many other functions are running because of earning from the advertisements. But advertisements also have negative aspects like increasing cost of product, misguiding, putting pressure on consumers. With some checks and balance like creating awareness among consumers and making some laws in favor of them, advertisements are good for economy.

Say no to plastic bags

Plastic is an environment Hazard. Polythene bags are polluting, land, water, and air because they are non- biodegradable. A plastic bag if buried in soil will remain there intact even after hundreds of years. Plastic is impermeable to water and air. Hence water cannot percolate down the plastic sheet and it also deprives the soil of the oxygen. Thus it deteriorates the fertility of the land. Plastic is lighter than water and floats on the its surface. It stops mixing of vital Oxygen from air to water. It is lethal for aquatic life. Plastic can neither melt in water nor degrade in soil. It is very difficult to get rid of it. Even burning causes air pollution as many poisonous gases are produced in the process. Thinner than 5 micron plastic bags are especially harmful because if they are mixed in the soil, they cannot be picked. We must ban its uses.

T.V program I like the most

There is a flood of T.V. serials these days because of multichannels. But all programs are not of same standards. My favorite program is “Balika vadhu” of “colours “channel. It raises an important social issue-the child marriage. In many parts of India child marriage is still practiced. Children are married in very small age. This not only affects their education but spoils their whole life. Through the story of “Anandi” this serial depicts the problems emerged in this system. Only stringent laws can’t stop the child marriage. Public awareness is necessary. Government should focus on the education especially adult education in the backward areas where problem is more rampant. By making this kind of series T.V can play very important role is social awakening.

Inflation

Inflation is a big problem of developing countries and India is not an exception. In the last decade prices have raised many folds. Inflation hits the poor and the middle class man the hardest. Problem has become more challenging because mostly all essential commodities like food grains, vegetables, fruit, clothes and other daily use items have become costly. Purchasing power of people is decreasing. Demand for goods is decreasing. Hence manufactures are also suffering. Government should intervene before job-cutting starts. It can take form of recession any time which is deteriorating for the economy. Government should create jobs especially in rural regions. It should control prices of essential commodities through public distribution system. In a democratic and poor country it is the duty of government to save the citizens from high inflation.

Dowry system

Dowry system is a curse on our society. It has taken very dangerous form in modern time. Dowry can be defined as the gifts given by bride’s family at the time of marriage to the groom’s family. But now it is not just a gift. It is a demand and demand is mounting day by day. Many girls remain unmarried for the want of dowry. Many others have to face the difficult time in the house of in-laws. This system has many other manifestations also like female child foeticide, malnutrition in girls, distorted sex ratio etc. A society, which cannot respect its women, can’t grow. We should uproot this bad custom by strict laws and public awareness. Boys also have an important role in it. They should have courage enough to oppose this inhumane practice.

My house

My house is small but beautiful. It has three rooms, a kitchen, toilets and a small veranda. It is three sides open. All rooms are very well ventilated. We are five members in the house. I share my room with my younger brother. House provides us privacy and safety. I love my house very much.       

My school

I am a student of middle class. My favorite place on this land is my school. It is a two storey building with a grand entrance, a big playground, neat and clean classes, well equipped laboratory and a library. My class is very airy. I learn many things here. I love my school.

The cow

Cow is important cattle. It is reared all over the world for milk. In India it is a holy animal. Many people worship it. In rural area it fulfills the need of protein. Its waste is also used for making dung. We must protect it as a valuable asset.

The Dog

Dog is a pet animal. It is the oldest friend of human beings. It watches our house. It is very faithful animal and never left his master. It is used by police to fight crime. Sheep- rearers also use them. Thus it is useful for us in many ways.
