INCREASE IN THE MATERIALISTIC TENDENCY OF THE YOUTH



In our ancient Indian culture imparting of knowledge was completely based on morality. The guru-shishya relationship was based on selflessness, morality and with ethnic beauty. In those older days the main purpose of education was to develop a person in a calm and peaceful environment with a strong intellectual personality having humanistic attitude with a good character above all these. Their main purpose was not to make them a doctor or an engineer and so on. Once Swami Vivekananda said,
“EDUCATION IS A MANIFESTATION OF PERFECTION ALREADY IN MAN.”
     As change is the law of nature, this traditional education of gaining and imparting process has changed gradually. Now a days our modern youngster generation follows a CAREER ORIENTED technique of gaining knowledge. People are more and more intended towards the consumption and accumulation of things which would help them in having a more comfortable life.
     Due to rapid increase in the materialistic tendency of those adolescence this education is like a vital medicine to grasp the shortest way of being successful professionals because after having some job only all these lively comforts could all be acquired. Modern youngster generation does not work to build a personality with a good and moral character. This materialistic tendency had lead them to have a surrounding where he could think only and only about ‘I’ and ‘Me’ or ‘Mine’ except these nothing else. In accumulating more and more all these man basically looses his heart of a true human being and then he acts against humanity and tries to break all the rules of humanism.
      Being so much absorbed in the materialistic needs, therefore, he forgets about sympathy, mercy, pity, selflessness and such other moral values, hence day by day people are becoming more and more critical and unsocial. Increasing MATERIALISTIC thoughts are highly responsible for the destruction of man to man and door to door relationship.
      This suggests danger to the civilization. A civilization cannot properly advance or progress without tender moral values. We must think of these materialistic affairs within a certain limit and that
must not be without sympathy, mercy, pity or selflessness.

The Kunan Poshpora

We know that the heartbreaking Kunan Poshpora incident occurred on February 23, 1991, when unit(s) of the Indian army launched a search and interrogation operation in the twin villages of Kunan and Poshpora, located in Kashmir’s remote Kupwara District, at least 100 women were gang raped by soldiers that night. However, human rights organizations including Human Rights Watchhave said that the number of raped women could be as high as 150. What a shame! But nay, don’t take the name as the rapists were men in uniforms. It will bring bad name!!! But how debauch it is all in the name of nationalism? Seriously, what a measles it is to the humanity. The rapists will not be oppressors as they were the men in uniforms? How derogatory it is in all forms! Indeed, what happened that night was horrible, but what is more horrible perhaps is that though the justice is not yet served, the same atrocious crime is still doing the rounds in corner, and now even in open air with nationalist

A BRANDING LESSON: TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE FOCUS ON ONE THING

The world is moving at a very fast pace and everybody is working hard to get ahead in as short a time as possible. As a result, people are cramming up their calendars with more and more. Their ‘to-do’ list just never seems to end. The ability to multitask seems to be the most essential requirement in the work environment. However, the fact is that no one has ever been able to achieve much this way. To be successful in life – Focus on one thing! Research has shown time and again that the human mind is not meant to multitask. Not just that, research now even proves how long-term multitasking is actually harmful for the brain. A study done in 2009 by Stanford proved that frequent multitaskers were not able to use their brain as efficiently as non-multitaskers. The scary part is that frequent multitaskers were less effective even when asked to focus on one activity. Trying to get too much done in one go is not a good idea. It will not get you quick success; rather, focusing on one thin

SIMPLE SECRET TO SUCCESS

Amazon is today the one of the largest retailers of the world. Most of us have bought or at least browsed through the zillion things the site sells. Most of us have also patiently read the numerous customer reviews before proceeding to check out and finally buying the stuff. Now, here is an interesting fact. Most of the reviews are written by people whose job is to review products sent to them by Amazon. So they are not normal customers like you and me for they did not pay for the stuff they are reviewing. The important thing to note here is the fact that ‘customer review’ is an important factor today in building market share. It’s proved that products which get a feedback, that is are reviewed, are sold more than products which get no reviews. So Amazon has developed a program called ‘Vine’ where some trusted reviewers are invited to be a part of it. Through these reviewers, it populates its site with reviews which can help customers. In the virtual world, to be successful, you ne
