7^th March Speech of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman

A speech gave birth to an independent nation. The speech captivated all present and all heard it. The mixture of love, command, instructions, motivation, and dream made the speech a success for which it was delivered. It is amazing that in his historic 7th March speech he addressed the people of the land as ‘tumi’ and “tomader” (the informal you Bengali). One has to remember that he was barely 50 at the time.  According to the current writer Bangabandhu’s becoming so popular and loved by the people lies primarily with three things –charisma, courage and his genuine devotion and affection to his people. It is the last factor which is probably the most crucial. Bangabandhu was a genuine people’s leader. The historic speech’ historic importance is no less immense than other renowned speeches. The Gettysburg speech of Abraham Lincoln and the "I Have a Dream" speech of Martin Luther King Junior are masterpieces in the oratorical tradition. Speech of Bangabandhu is not merely an oratorical art. Bangabandhu’s 7th March speech cannot be said to be limited only to a clarion call for emancipation of the 75 million people of Bangladesh. It transcended to every aspect of the lives of the people after the independence of the country. It brought about a revolutionary change in the psyche of the nation. They transformed into a brave and invincible nation. Against all odds, they embarked on rebuilding the country under the leadership of their leader who returned to his new born country on January 10 from captivity in Pakistan. These are some of the achievements of the country after its emergence as an independent country through a bloody war of liberation in 1971. All these happened primarily because of the change in the psyche of the people and that change can be attributed to one single important factor the 7th March, 1971 speech of Bangabandhu. It transformed a subdued nation for hundreds of years into a nation of brave people who can conquer even death for a rightful cause. Now as the 8th largest country in the world in terms of population the sky is limit for the brave and resilient people of Bangladesh. Salute to the father of the Nation for transforming us as brave and ever challenge seeking people and country.  

FOOD ADULTERATION

We, the people of Bangladesh have the every legitimate expectation to get the food free from adulteration as of our constitutional right. This is the responsibility of the state apparatus to ensure that for the common people. Food adulteration can be substantially combat by the legal paradigm presently we have with few renovations of law. But it is very important, how these laws are being implemented by the state. No more hyperactive drives without following the spirit of law by the Mobile Courts are expected, because judicially established Courts are there to act under the protocol of law. The manufacturers and producers should not hanker after money by the way of delivering adulterated food to the innocent people. Let us live and let others live on food free from adulteration of any kind.

TRAFFIC POLICE

At the railway stations, street crossings and important public places, one often comes across a well-built man, wearing a khaki dress and a leather belt round his waist. Well, everybody knows him —he is the policeman. He is appointed to protect civilians from criminals and evildoers. He has many duties to perform. He maintains law and order in the country. He is, therefore, called the guardian of law and order. He keeps a sharp eye on bad characters. Whenever they break the law, he arrests them and takes them to the police station. There is traffic police also. The main duty of the traffic policeman is to control and regulate the traffic. He generally stands on a raised platform and regulates the traffic by making certain signs with his hands. If any driver goes against the rules, he blows his whistle and stops him. The duty of the traffic policeman is very hard because he has to stand under the scorching sun or in heavy rain for hours together. At night the policeman patrols the streets and guards our property. He traces thefts and brings the culprits to book. But nowadays, there have been some incidents and situations wherein the police have acted brutally. There have been some corruption charges on the police also. It is a pity that some policemen accept bribe and shrug off the great responsibility they have for the society as a whole. The police should be aware of the fact that if the protectors turn to be destructors – our society will be ruined and the country will not progress at all. Individual interests should always be sacrificed for the interest of society. The social attitude towards the police has also become that of terror. Generally, people do not discriminate between an evildoer and a policeman. We should not look down upon him since he is our social protector. We should try to put a little faith on him. The government should also better his lot so that he should have a comfortable living. Then, he would not accept bribes. Again, only educated persons should be recruited and besides their tough training they should be taught to be polite and well-mannered. Only then, the public will have no problems with the police and together they will be able to eradicate crime.

Etiquette and Manners

As a social being, humans are social in nature. But living in society is not an easy job. How one behaves with another, how he approaches another person and how far he is successful in playing his role in the society indicates his manners. So, broadly speaking, we can define manners to be well established standard of conduct on the social life. Good etiquette and manners are a socially respectful & acceptable way of displaying consideration, care and respect towards others. It can further help you to have a better relationship with other people around you. To master good etiquette and manners you must learn to master phone etiquette, dining etiquette as well as basic etiquette. Learning good manners & etiquettes can help you to convey respect to people with whom you interact with. At the same time it also means that you can command respect from people you interact with. People having good etiquette and manners practice basic courtesy, speak politely, hold doors open for elder people, behave well at public places, drive courteously, greet people and never use harsh words and hurt others. Nobody is born with good manners. Everyone either learns or acquires them. The best place to harness manners and etiquettes is the home which is a miniature society and where the child spends most of its time. A child tries to stimulate its parents and elders in their behavior and slowly learns and acquires certain traits of character that it has learnt at home. It learns a lot in company of his friends at school or college. In the school or college, the teacher plays an important role in cultivation of good manners and etiquettes. Teachers with their ideal behavior imbibe good manners in the school students. So we can say that the success or failure in the life of a man depends largely upon his manners and etiquettes.

Adolescence 

Adolescence is a time of rapid physiological and psychological change of intensive readjustment to the family, education-institutes, work and social life and of preparation for adult roles. It starts with puberty and ends with the achievement of an adult work role. It usually begins between 11 and 16 years in boys and between 9 and 16 years in girls. Websters’ dictionary defines adolescence the ‘process of growing up’ or the ‘period of life from puberty to maturity’. Adolescence has been associated with an age span, varying from 10-13 as the starting age and 19-21 as the concluding age, depending on whose definition is being applied. This period is a very important and exciting stage in life that are marred by many stages of development and challenge, it is a time when adolescent experiment so many thing that can either make or break their life and future, a period of exposure, it is a very unstable, inconsistent and emotional period, there are different stress and storms attached with adolescence. Adolescent period is often believed to be a difficult period and very critical stage of transition because of various qualitative shift that they pass through at that moment of life and this conflicts with breaking away from the old self and interest of the childhood memories and all these periods are accompanied by significant changes of various degrees for instance, all the characteristics involved in puberty such as menstrual cycle in girls and hair growth in certain part of the body in boys as well as deepening of the voice. It is generally believed that most if not all adolescent experience difference stages of storm and stress at this period of their life. Apart from the factors mention above earlier, conflicts with parents, mood disruption and behaviour, there are different factors responsible for why adolescent experience various storms and stress during this stage and this is due to the rapid changes and transitions going on in the body and in the environment around them. Not all individuals experience this process of storm and stress but it does happen and it only affect most adolescent but not all as it is widely perceived and portrayed by the media, society and parents.

Higher Education in Bangladesh

The education which is offered in the universities is called higher education. A student will be eligible for higher education after completing his SSC and HSC examination successfully. As places for higher education are limited in our country all the students completing their HSC will not be allowed to get higher education. They have to face an admission test in different educational institutions. The scope of higher education in our country is very limited. Our colleges and universities cannot accommodate all the students who are eligible for higher education. As a result a lot of students go abroad for higher education every year. The development of a modern society depends to a large extent on the nature and standard of higher education. Higher education has enormous potential to promote prosperity in the developing nations. Throughout the World, universities change the society and remain the center of change and development. In the context of Bangladesh various Education Commissions that were set up so far theoretically emphasized on unlocking potential at all levels of society and creating a pool of highly trained individuals to contribute to the national development. But in practice these universities are very weak and do not change anything. Better understanding among teachers and students, introduction of modern teaching methods and dedication of teachers and students can improve the culture of higher education in Bangladesh. A proper academic calendar can bring discipline. Initiate to free the universities from the clutches of politics can play a lot of the overall improvement of the universities. The strategic plan document for higher education suggests that in the face of a changed scenario of higher education, quality improvement in the higher education has to be the main focus of attention and development of science and technology based education should be given top priority by the government and the private sector in the next two decades.

CHILD LABOUR

Child labour is the crime to humanity which has become a curse to the society and big issue preventing the country growth and development. Childhood is the most memorable period of the life which everyone has right to live from birth. Children have full rights to play with friends, go to school, feel the love and care of parents and touch beauty of the nature. However, just because of the improper understandings of the people (parents, owners, etc), children are forced to live life of the elder. They are forced to arrange all the resources for life survival in their childhood. Parents want to make them very responsible towards their family in the early childhood of their kids. They do not  understand that their kids need love and care, they need proper schooling and play with friends to grow properly. Such parents understand that their kids are the only property of them, they can use them as they want. But really, all parents need to understand that they have some responsibility towards their country too. They need to make their kids healthy in every aspect to make the future of the country bright. Parents should take all the responsibility of the family by own and let their kids to live their childhood with lots of love and care. The main causes of the child labour all over the world are poverty, parents, society, low salary, joblessness, poor living standard and understanding, social injustice, lack of schools, backwardness, ineffective laws which are directly affecting the development of the country. Nothing effective is happening to prevent the child labour from society as quickly as possible. Children are too young, cute and innocent to realize the things happening to them in the early age. They are unable to recognise that what is wrong and illegal for them instead they become happy getting small money for their work. Unknowingly they become interested in the getting money on daily basis and ruining their whole life and future. It needs some effective rules and regulations by the government to completely end its roots forever.
