ESSAY NUMBER 277 FROM OUR BOOK
It is unfortunate that along with vast progress in life there is also a
growth in anti-social behavior and people have become less respectful of each
other. This essay intends to analyze some causes of this phenomenon and suggest
ways to ameliorate the situation.
There are many reasons for the increase in anti-social behavior in today’s
world. To begin with, the huge planet Earth is now a small global village.
Everybody is connected through Internet, but the warmth of relationships has
taken a back seat. Most people have more than enough wealth, comfort, and
freedom, but their hearts desire even more. To satisfy their heart’s greed
people have become workaholics, and as a result, have no time for family and
friends. In other words, people have become selfish, isolated, and indifferent.
In addition, the changing family structure is another big cause of this
phenomenon. Earlier, people lived in joint families and the grandparents were
there to supervise the children. Now there are nuclear families in which both
parents go out to work, and children are left unattended at the hands of media
like the TV and the Internet. No one monitors what they watch, and they see the
programs full of violence and crime, which makes them anti-social.
There are many solutions to this problem. Firstly, people have to learn to
strike a balance between work and family life. Government should also fix the
maximum hours a worker can work per week so that exploitation is not there in
the job market. Secondly, people should revert back to the old joint family
system. This would be beneficial for all. The children would learn moral values
and the elderly would be well looked after. Finally, media can play a big role
in highlighting the good points of the traditional and western culture so that
the people can adopt good social values.
Summing up, anti-social behavior and mutual lack of respect in today’s times
can be dealt with by simple measures taken by individuals and governments collectively.
