Drug addiction , a social problem





Addiction to drugs among young men and women is an acute social problem faced by most of the countries in Europe and by some in Asia.Illicit traffic in narcotics is on the increase in spite on the perts of governments.Heroin,cocaine,hashish and LSD are easily available today.This sordid comerce has resulted in young men and women taking drugs.
At first the youngsters take narcotics in small doses just to get a thrill.And once they take a drug again and again they develop a compulsion to have it at intervals.Thus drug-taking becomes a habit from which there is no escape.

Is the modern student pampered ?

The student community comprises a very important section of the society.Students are the hope of the future ;they will be the ones shouldering responsibilities tomorrow.However,the image of the average student makes one think whether he has gone too big for his boots.
The growing indiscipline and unrest among the present-day students,their acts of hooliganism and vandalism towards everything in life have led some people to believe that students are not being handled properly.
There is an old saying "Spare the rod and spoil the child "But today the rod is spared and youngster is spoilt.There is no adequate machinery to deal with the students properly.

The cinemas allures the students;they are influenced by it more than anything else .They skip classes and enjoy matinees.Nothing has been done to restrain students from being swept off their feet by far too many distractions.

Films have an enormous influence on youth

The cinema is the most powerful media for the mass communication.Moreover,it is a means of entertainment.For the person who goes to the cinema,information,ideas and messages are available through entertainment.This is the adventage over the newspaper and periodicals.Reading is not as effortless as seeing a film.And no wonder films attract people .Young men and women are ore attracted to the films than the middle-aged and old people.The influence of the films on the youth, therefore,cannot be ignored.
There are many good films noted for their artistic excellence and for the humanistic messaged that they were subtly convey.The messages concern problems connected with social inequalities ,economic disparities,and good and evil in human life.Some of the films deal with the tensions inherent in human relations and give an insight into the human physche.
Not all the films depicting violence is bad .There are good films among them;they are good in the sense that violence in these films is so meaningfully depicted that the shock of it has a salutary influence on the mind of the viewer.

Student's Unrest

Students are idealistic ; they are also rebellious . Their idealism makes them revolt against the existing social set-up.They dream of a better morrow.They believe that the present social inequalities can be eradicated and a good morrow ushered in.Their idealism compelled them to boycott classes and demonstrate against authority.And this is what we mean by the general term 'student unrest'.
Student's unrest is a global phenomenon . Students are a force to reckon with in every country.This is because they are a large number and it is easy to get them together for protest or demonstration.It is in democratic contries that we find more agitation and demonstration ; in countries that have dictatorships,students are not well organized and demonstration is practically absent.
Sometimes students are on the rampage fighting for causes that are not worthwhile.Their grievances are flimsy and can be redressed without any demonstration.Even then they agitate and in the process of agitation much destruction of public property is caused.

What considerations have to be taken into account when chosing a job

One of the mundane objectives of education is to enable one to enter a career , to be in a profession to make a living .Parents send their children to schools and colleges with this goal in mind ; to them the higher aims of education of which educationists often speak do not matter much.Choosing the right career is extremely important , for he has to contribute his maximum to society and be a happy person in life.

Choosing a career is difficult . A general education that one has recieved does not make one fit to enter a profession which requires a specialized skills . Medical,Legaland Engineering profession calls for specialization ;to become a teacher also one should have special training.
