TOBACCO CONSUMPTION  Title: Breaking Free: Confronting the Grip of Tobacco Addiction In a world where health consciousness is on the rise, tobacco consumption remains a stubborn obstacle to well-being. Despite decades of warnings and scientific evidence outlining its dangers, the allure of tobacco persists, ensnaring individuals in a cycle of addiction and harm. Let's delve into the intricate web of tobacco addiction and explore avenues for liberation. Tobacco addiction is a formidable adversary, wielding both physical and psychological hooks.

Child Labor

Image
  CHILD LABOUR Child labor refers to the employment of children in any work that deprives them of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend regular school, and that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful. This problem affects millions of children worldwide, mostly in developing countries. Children are often forced into labor due to poverty, lack of access to education, and cultural norms that see work as a rite of passage. The consequences of child labor are severe and long-lasting. Children who work long hours in hazardous conditions are at risk of physical injury and health problems. They also miss out on their education and have limited opportunities for personal and professional growth in the future. Governments and international organizations have taken steps to address the issue of child labor, including passing laws to regulate the minimum age for employment and setting standards for working conditions.

Women's Safety

Image
Women’s safety is the recent buzzword around the globe which demands the protection of women from victimization. The question that arises here is: Why has the safety of women become a topic of concern in this modern civilized world? This presumes that there is something wrong with society’s treatment of women. The politics of snatching power from women, making them weak and destitute can be regarded as the ‘creator’ of insecurity for women. It has been the claim of feminists that woman has been subjugated and deprived of their rights for ages. Voices have been raised for the safety of women and to make them feel free to come out of the four walls of their home and go out to the world of competitions and be on a par with the male population. But before anyone dares to do it there occur incidences where women are marginalized, silenced, and their views and wishes are stifled. That is why French feminist, Simone de Beauvoir declared boldly in  The Second Sex,  “One is not born, b...

FAKE FEMINISM

Image
  WHAT IS FAKE OR PSEUDO-FEMINISM? There are feminists and then pseudo-feminists come along. Pseudo-feminism suggests that women deserve more respect, or people of other sexes do not deserve respect. Living in a culture where women face many challenges every day is the worst thing is that some people hurt the term feminism. On social media, hardly anyone knows about feminism and they end up being pseudo-feminist. Do pseudo-feminists really want equal treatment? No, they want to create a world governed only by women. Will a woman be getting away with any wrongdoing? Women on social media who identify themselves as feminists want equality and recognition for women they think to deserve it. They’re going to bash a woman if he’s their lesser wife or sister like a politician but they’re going to support a woman bashing that same political leader. Hypocrisy and pseudo-feminism get a melting pot here.  Difference between feminism and pseudo feminism A feminist might be a man, woman, ...

However, it is clear that for some of us there is a complete blind spot to a potential problem in our lives. We often call this  illiteracy .
