Poverty: A barrier to social development
Poverty means the state in which man cannot meet up the
fundamental needs of life. There are many causes of poverty. Illiteracy is the
main cause of remaining poor. Superstition, early-marriage, overpopulation,
scarcity of work, unemployment, unconsciousness etc. are also responsible for
poverty. Poverty crates a lot of problems. It is also the root cause of many
misdeeds. Poverty-affected people cannot lead a decent life. They go without
better clothes, shelter, medical
care and education. At times some of them are
compelled to beg from door to door and from man to man. Begging is not a job
and it is very disgraceful in the society. But some poor people instead of
begging go on stealing, robbing, snatching and hijacking. They are treated as
miscreants and terrorists. All these are the outcome of poverty. So, poverty alleviation
is a must for establishing peace in a state. In our country most of the people
are poor. They live below poverty line. They earn a little to keep body and
soul together. Again many of them are involved in some unethical and heinous
activities. These should not be allowed to continue. If we want to stop all
unethical activities and corruption, at first we have to eradicate poverty from
our society. But how can we wipe out poverty? The first step that we can take
up is the diversification of the economy. As ours is an agro-based economy, it
is imperative to diversify our agricultural output. Besides, we have to go for
non-agricultural diversification. In order to do so, we can move into
labour-intensive industries, as labour is very cheap in our country. Population
control is a must and various positive incentives may be offered for small
planned families. Illiteracy ought to be eradicated. After all micro-credit
should be provided among the poor on easy terms so that they can change their
lots. These few steps will surely help in
reducing poverty that has plagued us
for decades. According to Dr. Yunus, a Nobel laureate for peace rightly said,
―If micro-credit were offered to all the poor people, poverty of all kinds
would be sent to the museum.‖

Acid Throwing: An awful social disease
Acid throwing is one
of the most heinous crimes. Nowadays it has become very rampant in our country.
Almost everyday we find the news of acid throwing in all the newspapers of our
country. If we want to find out the cause of acid throwing, we will have to
inspect all possible and related topics for which acid throwing may occur.
Frustrated lovers are involved in this evil deed. When they fail to win the
heart of their beloved, they try to have revenge. Finding no other way of
taking revenge, they throw acid on them. The effects of acid throwing are very
detrimental. In most cases the victims succumb to injuries. And those who
survive drag a very miserable and pathetic life. Either they are crippled or
paralysed. The victims also look ugly because their appearance and body become
deformed and very often they become inactive. Acid throwing is an inhuman and
barbarous act. It turns a man into beast. This problem cannot be solved
overnight. First of all law and order situation of the country should be
improved. Law enforcing authorities should always remain alert. The criminals
should be hard-heartedly dealt with. Exemplary punishment should be inflicted
on the criminals. It‘s a matter of joy that government has already formulated a
law for giving punishment to the acid throwers. Judicial system regarding the
punishment of the criminals should be prompt because there goes a proverb that
―Justice delayed justice denied‖. More law and enforcing agencies should be
employed at important points. Besides, those people who may throw acid should
be provided with suitable jobs so that they can give up this repulsive criminal
activity. Moreover, people of all walks of life should come forward to develop
their morality.
After all, mass media should come forward to make people
conscious about this outrageous act, the pathetic effects and punishment of
acid throwing in order that they can avoid this heinous job.
