What would you change about modern society?

Society has and will continue to change over time. Social change is the way in which human relationships and traditions transform cultural and social institutions over time, which has a profound impact on society. Social change is a concept that many of us take lightly or do not really understand. No society has ever remained the same. Before anything can change, we have to change ourselves. It is we who have created society. Therefore, we need to change our mindset first. One should not discriminate against others in the form of caste, creed, gender colour, age and many more. This can lead to one’s mental health and issues like anxiety and depression. In my view, there are some issues that need to be improved.

Education,

Society and Education are closely related. Society develops through education and education develops through society. Hence, we can say that education and society are interdependent. Education transforms lives in many ways. It expands a person’s knowledge, understanding, and experience, enriches the individual, and provides him with a path to achieve higher status and respect in society. An educated person is also able to find appropriate solutions to problems and helps in positive change in society. Changes in education are necessary, as skills and abilities such as logical thinking, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and lifelong learning are becoming more important than the transfer of vocabulary knowledge. Reforms are needed to ensure that every child, no matter where they live, receives quality education. The current Indian curriculum is often criticized as outdated and based on rote learning, focusing more on memorization than critical thinking and practical skills.  Every society has its own specific structure and definite procedures which keep changing from time to time.

Evil customs,,,

Social evils or social issues are referred to as any undesirable situation that is opposed by society or a section of society. Some of the major issues are caste system, poverty, dowry system, child labour, religious conflicts etc. Even today, entry of people of some castes of Hindus, women and other religions is prohibited in many temples. If this is not followed, then there is mutual discord, contempt, treating with inferiority complex and even violent incidents keep happening and the irony is that this is happening in present India. Rather than thinking about when a tradition must have been started or how a bad custom must have originated, it is more important to think why it is continuing till date? Why are people sticking to this system? Why is there no social initiative to change it or end it? The biggest thing is that why does the government not take the system of religious places associated with the tradition of discrimination in its hands and take steps to destroy the root of the problem?

untouchability,

Untouchability is a crime by law but it is still prevalent in almost every section of the society, whether educated or illiterate, poor or rich, affluent or weak and not only this, every person is seen following it in its various forms. For example, keeping separate utensils for eating and drinking for the domestic servants working in the house is such a simple thing but how serious it is because this one behavior has given birth to a gap that can never be filled. Social evils can be eradicated only through education. Education takes us from darkness to light. Tradition is not wrong in itself but it becomes an evil when it is used for personal gain or to maintain one’s dominance and to harass the weak person. If a member of a family gets educated and occupies a high position in the society, then his goal should be to make efforts for the progress of the person at the last end of the society. Tathagata Foundation has made education its base.

gender discrimination,,,

Gender discrimination still exists in society. This can be seen in many countries of the world along with India. The main reason for this discrimination is the difference in the social and economic status of men and women. Women are often seen with less salary, less existing respect, more household work and less freedom than men. Not only in India, but also abroad, women are considered weaker than men at the workplace. I feel that the ego of men is also largely responsible for this. When a woman surpasses a male colleague, it hurts his ego and in response to this, he unknowingly starts talking to the female colleague in a sarcastic language. The speed at which the world of women is changing in Indian society, men will also have to give up their narrow outlook and move forward at the same pace. Parents differentiate between boys and girls in their own children. If this continues in the society, then how will women get equal rights as men in the society? They will always remain slaves and will keep fighting for their rights in life.  We should start our efforts from our home, only then we will be able to give equal rights to women in the society. Legally there is equality between men and women, but in practical life, discrimination between men and women is still seen in the workplace. I am in government service. Here no discrimination is seen between men and women, but men already have a preconceived notion that women are inferior to us. To a large extent, women are also responsible for this situation. Gender equality is intrinsically linked to sustainable development and is important for the attainment of human rights for all. The overall objective of gender equality is to create a society in which women and men enjoy equal opportunities, rights and responsibilities in all spheres of life.change about modern society is not hard,but Everybody needs to change their mindset .
