We live in an age of science. Present civilization is, in fact ,
the gift of science. We have been inventing new things to acquire power to make
life more enjoyable.Bangladesh, as a developing country, is still lagging behind in
the field of science. The scope of science education is so limited. It is in
one sense frustrating. In this global age, we have to complete with other
countries irrespective of their financial and academic status. In doing so, we
can easily realize how backward we are in comparison with the developed
countries of the world. Life without science is beyond imagination in this
competitive age.
Our young learners have enough talent and intelligence to receive
science education and to compete with their counterparts of the overseas
countries. But as they learn their lessons in a limited scope, they often get
frustrated while competing with their counterparts in any forum. Again, these
native learners, when they go to those developed countries to live there, show
their skill so excellently that they top the list making their counterparts
astonished. This is made possible only because they get sufficient scope to
learn there. So, it is established that if they are provided with requisite
learning facilities, they are sure to prove themselves worthy learners.
Science education is badly required in our country. But our
present life is governed and controlled by the offshoot of science. There is no
area where science is not available. Electricity, gas, radio, television,
telephone, radar, rocket, computer, robot, cinema, medical treatment, etc are
the most important inventions of science. Science has helped us increase our
food productions to a large extent. Agriculture is the main industry of our
country. We have to adopt scientific system of farming. Otherwise, the
primitive traditional system of farming will not be able to meet up the growing
demand of our population.
Bangladesh, being a member of the developing countries, cannot
think herself isolated in the global age. As the Bangladeshis, we have to cope
with the current requirement pf the globe. Any diviation will throw her to a
corner wherefrom it is not possible for her to turn beck.To conquer every branch
of science the system of education is required to be revised. Ample scope must
be created so that our young scientists can have the opportunity to quench
their thirst for knowledge. If they are provided with sufficient opportunities
the country will be benefited to a great extent.
Our young scientists will
feel proud if and when they fare much better than their counterparts in any
competition. It is our earnest expectation that our government will come
forward with this noble mission taking the overall development of the country
in view.
---Uses
and abuses of Scientific Inventions---
Modern science made a tremendous achievement
during the last few decades. Actually, modern civilization is the gift of the
modern science. Science has invented many wonders. Day and night, we make use
of innumerable inventions of science. But the invention modern science has not
only uses but also abuses.
The invention of electricity is of a great use to us. Now we can
use electric lamps, and fans, refrigerators, televisions, washing machine,
telegraph, telephone, computer etc. very easily. Besides, almost all mills and
factories are run by electricity. Electric trains, printing presses, cookers,
irons and sewing machines are also run by electricity.
The inventions of science have helped to conquer space and time.
We can now go from one place to another in a very short time. We can now send
messages to a great distance in a second. We can talk to anybody in any part of
the world in any time over phone.
In the field of amusement, the invention of science has brought
about a revolutionary change. Radio broadcasts songs, music, news, discussion,
etc. Television telecasts pictures even in color. By Fax, any writing or
picture can be sent to great distances very easily. The internet is yet another
wonderful invention of modern science.
Spinning of yarn, weaving of cloth and sewing of cloths can
be done at a great speed by using the invention of science. Food-processing,
house-building, constructing roads and bridges can be done very quickly.
Millions of pages can be printed or reproduced in a short time. A calculator
can solve any difficult mathematical problem instantly.
The invention of science is of great use in the field of medical
science. Science has discovered the causes of most of the diseases and their
remedies. A deadly disease like TB has been conquered. Cholera has also been
brought under control. Small pox has been eradicated. The X-ray and other
diagnostic instruments have been very helpful to man.
Science has increased food production greatly. If we can apply the
scientific methods properly, there will be no hunger in the world. Tractors,
power-pumps, fertilizers, high-yielding varieties of crops and irrigation
techniques have revolutionized agriculture.
But the invention of science is not an unmixed blessing. Science
has also invented guns, bombs, atom-bombs, and missiles, battleship and
war planes, chemical weapons and nuclear weapons. By abusing these, a powerful
country is attacking a weak country to capture and gain its wealth.
There are many areas of our everyday life where we use the
invention of science. Though the inventions of science have some abuses,
science is a blessing to us.
Corruption
is an evil practice. It may originate from unsolved problems. Unfinished works,
vicious politics, weak administration and many other related or relevant
things. Bribery the misuse of power, nepotism, the avarice for wealth and
social condition are the roots of corruption. A corrupt person can do
everything for his/her own self. Social or public interest is fruitless to
him/her.
Corruption
is an incurable social disease. It is very difficult to find out when and why
someone is corrupt. Avarice is the main cause of corruption. Besides this,
economic insolvency, ambiguity of laws, unemployment, political instability,
lack of patriotism are the main causes of corruption.
Corruption
is engulfing our total life at a high speed. It seems that it would be
difficult for us to distinguish the fair from the unfair. In a developing and
poor country like misuse state power for their ownself and party.
Corruption
is the main obstacle to the socio-economic development of a country. A great
amount of money for development work is misappropriated by the obstacle to the
socio-economic development of a country. A great amount of money for
development work is misappropriated by the government staff and political
leaders. As a result, the main target of the development work is not reached.
The eradication of corruption is a crying need for the country’s
greater interest. To make the country free from corruptions, the citizens of
all classes should be responsible, accountable, dutiful and considerate.
Nepotism, favouritism, red-tapism etc. should be dealt with seriously
---Drug Addiction---
Drug
is a kind of intoxicating element that affects the nervous system of our body
seriously. Drug addiction means a strong desire for a drug which the addict
cannot resist. Narcotics like opium, morphine, heroin, marijuana, cocaine etc
are used by the addicts. These drugs are used for their intoxicating, tranquil
sing, stimulating effects. If a person gets addiction to any of these once, he
cannot go without them.
Drug addiction is a curse
of modern civilization. Drugs lead youngsters to go astray and destroy many
valuable and beautiful lives. There are some reasons for drug addiction such
as, frustration, association, availability of intoxicant, unemployment, failure
in love, degradation of religious values, lack of family ties, etc. When a
young person falls into a completely hopeless situation, drugs allure him.
Sometimes young boys and girls come in contact with drugs out of curiosity.
Drug addiction
creates social problems. Narcotics are very expensive. So the addict often goes
for stealing, hijacking and all sorts of misdeeds to procure money. He can, in
no circumstances, refrain from taking drugs. He tries to have it at any cost.
It helps him to see strange things that have no existence at all to him. The
drug-addict also does something that ruins the peace of the family. He even
steals ornaments, utensils, clothes and what not to procure money for buying
drugs. So all other members of the family remain in tension for his misdeeds.
The fate of the addict is serious. He dies a painful death losing character. He
becomes a burden not only for the family but also for the society and also for
the nation.
The remedy for drug
addiction is not very easy. Drug addiction is not only a national but also a
global problem. To save our young generation from drug-addiction, the
government and educated people should come forward with necessary remedies.
Strong measures should be taken to stop the production and trafficking of drugs.
Drug business is
punishable and the highest punishment is death sentence in Bangladesh. This law
should be enforced immediately.
