[Essay] Generation Gap

By

Generation gap means a difference of opinion between youngsters and elders.  It includes difference in tastes, attitudes, thinking manners and behavior of the members of the two generations.generation gap

In olden times children obediently followed what their parents told them to do. Today’s youth are more exposed and influenced by modern technology and life style. They are more independent, assertive and open. They don’t want anybody interfering with their lives or imposing their views on them.

On the other hand the elders have lived their lives and are set in their ideas and views. They too hate to be dedicated too or tossed around. The result is total disagreements among the two generations leading to intolerance, quarrels or even breaking up of the family.

This problem exists everywhere in the world and it has given rise to children staying away from their parents. In certain cases the problem gets out of hand and children are shown the door in the house or children go and deposit their old parents and grand parents in old age homes.

What is required is mutual respect and tolerance. Both youngsters and elders must respect each other’s individuality and not interfere with their way of living.

Youngsters should understand that parents are well wishers so they should show them respect and patience and imbibe what is good from them.

Elders should also give space to youngsters and change a bit with time. If there is mutual admiration and tolerance the generation gap issue would not exist.

[Essay] If i were a scientist

By
India has given to the world a great many scientists like Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose , Sir Vishweshwaraiya , SrinivasRamanujan , Sir C. V. Raman, Dr. Homi Bhabha, Dr. Vikram Sarabhai and Dr. Abdul Kalam. I admire them all. So many a times I keep wondering what “If I were a scientist” let me think. What can I do for the best of my Country, my people and all of the above for all the living beings residing on earth. How can I be useful to humanity? How can I be useful for the conservation and preservation of earth? To what extent I would be at service to mother earth? If I were a scientist, service to mankind would be first and foremost duty of life. I would work round the clock to invent remedies for deadly diseases like AIDS and cancer. I would try to put an end to human suffering . I would invent medicines that would make and old age worth living. As a scientist, I would request all the scientists of the world to use the atomic and nuclear energy for the welfare

[essay] Role of teacher in moulding a student's life

By
Teachers takes the place of parents in a school, they guide and mould the character and personality of the student. They influence the formative years of the students.

[Essay] The pleasures and pains of youth

By
The period of teenage is a short but a beautiful one. We begin our teens when we are “thirteen” and we end it with “nineteen”. It is also called a period of adolescence – when you are neither a child nor an adult. It is a time for privacy but on the other hand there is a lot of peer pressure. You start growing up and understanding your physical qualities and understanding the importance of looking good. You look out for a role model – a wrong model can put your life in jeopardy. The right role model can uplift your life. You want to act grown up but you lack the confidence, so many times you act in an immature manner creating problems for our own selves. We do not appreciate parental advice and we feel it is too condescending. Parents also refuse to understand this phase of the child. Actually parents should be made friends and role model as they always wish the best for their children. Lack of reading and too much dependency on TV, computers , internet and films, can lead to
