Do we become used to bad news? Would it be better if more good news was reported?

Ups and down are the part of life, time never remains same, sometimes good sometimes bad. Everybody now days, gets tired and become used to bad news. All the time, we heard about cruelty, wars, atomic bomb attacks, accidents, mishaps etc. But it’s not our will to abstain from these things. But we can think for a while, that would it be better if good news also become part of our life e.g. some promotions, success, peace between countries, human rights saved etc. Yes sure this can be done, we can have good relations with countries, we can work hard for success, we can care for other’s rights etc. And we can achieve some betterment that we want but we cannot change everything. The best thing is to try to the extent.

"Young generation is more cautious about their physical appearance." Comment. OR

Should there still be colleges and schools just for men/boys and some just for women/girls?


Islam is our religion. We should obey the teachings and fulfill its demand. Being a Muslim, we should know that Allah almighty has ordered the men and women not to disclose one another without marriage. Women should keep their matters, institutions, and working departments separate. Allah also ordered men to keep their eyes in control, and not to stare at any girl or women.Colleges are the places where student interact with one another. They share study, want help from one another. During break timings, friends go to cafeteria and spend a lot of time in library also. So this may also create wrong impact on their life. May be which will affect their whole life. Some students react in strange manner. They even leave their study and become indulge in clubs, parties and fun with girls. Not all boys and girl are alike but we should abstain from the matters which are forbidden in Islam.

A person however pious he/she may be, indulge in the society he/she keeps. As we know that “A man is known by the company he keeps.”So, if we join a co-education may be our friends(both girls and boys) do not match with our behavior and we may lose our Iman, which is the most precious thing for a Muslim. At last, which I think is that men and women, girl and boys, should study alone, they should not interact with one another as it will pollute the environment in another way.



Abuse at home and domestic violence should be punished. ORMedia violence has a negative effect.

Childhood is the age of getting and loosing habits. If a child, from the beginning starts hard work, he/she will become habitual of it, which will provide benefit to him/her in his/her whole life. Conversely, if a child becomes habitual of some ill mannered acts such as abusing at home he/she will suffer a lot in future. After all he/ she has to came out of home at some stage and when he entered in practical life what other people think about him. People will think that parents didn’t instruct their child and are careless.

Similarly in our homes, it is seen that people used to do violence even, between father and mother. Such a child which from childhood used to see these things will be greatly affected. The quarrel between the children at home is also very common. But if a child is not controlled, then he will become so habitual that he may do violence on others in practical life ,may be his friends, wife or any other.

So the point I want to clear is that, we should punish the child or anyone at home because, home is the first place from where the child get up things after mother’s lap. But do not punish so intently that the child may left the home or any other misdeed he did. If we will not do so, it will have big drawbacks in future for all members of family.
