Google defines Society as, “the aggregate of people living together in a
more or less ordered community." So we are the ones who constitutes
it. Yes people, we are the society, No society without us! Due to a lots and
lots of outdated rules set hundreds of years back which still
governs our society and a little due to different
thinking perspective among people, our society is not perfect. It is
full of taboos, anathema and proscriptions. But in sake of so called preserving
the culture or any other excuses our society hasn't got any chance to evolve
with time. Maybe people are scared, the change might bring mayhem, which is why
they agree and follow these stupid practices.
Due to
this resistance and keeping a blind eye in evil rules our mothers and
sisters had to burn alive as "Sati" for hundreds of
years, little girls are forced to stay in temple and abused for lifetime
as "Deuki" , children who don't even have grown
pubic hair are married, women are burnt alive because their parents are not generous on dowry, lots of
female fetus are killed before they even can get birth, not letting people go
to well, temples, hating them as untouchables for life, based on their caste;
Why can't people understand, we cannot choose the caste where we are born. And
we get only one life. What kind of culture is this, hating people for getting
birth? The problems like abuse of a girl child in a family by her own
relatives, not sending children to school, forcing people for arrange marriage,
etc. are not even considered problems in the society. And these are just few
examples. These examples are well-known and some are even being abolished
as people now have seen better practices in other evolved societies.
Due to globalization and advancement in information and technologies now we
know that our practices are not best and they need to be and can be
changed. Though change is inevitable the resistance among people is
ruining a lots of lives.
But evolving doesn’t mean
adopting others culture completely. If we choose to do that it will turn out to
be even bigger problem. Our society has faults, so is the case with others.
Evolving means taking the pros and helping each other to overcome the cons.
I present here the perfect real example that will depict all my above points. Here I present to you the screenshots of a Facebook post and the comments that followed, and compare it with the represents of the society. Unfortunately we all represent at least one of these represents.
