WHO IS A BIGGER VICTIM OF CRIME IN THE SOCIETY TODAY WOMEN OR MEN?

The women are being made victims not only for one reason but there are multiple reasons of their victimization. The main ones are sexual harassment , obscence comments, insecurity for the working women, threatenings to some of the women working in senior management posts, bitter challenges and non cooperation from men to the women in many fields. For example, lack of support from male community to manage affairs, rapes, gang rapes, cases of molestation, dowry deaths, compulsion to commit suicide, humiliation by not being given equal opportunities, partically and unfair treatment towards working women by male supervisors and so on constitute a situation which poses a great challenge to women.
       During olden days the education of girls was neglected, importance was given only to the boys in education and subsequently in jobs. Women were asked to look after home. Due to change in society and in the mentality of the people, the girls started getting equal opportunities to get education and work outside to maintain economic needs and self sufficiency. But from the very beginning women entered the public space, violence against them started increasing. The rate of victimization in respect of women is greater in urban areas as their activities in public places are greater there. Their fashion and style of wearing clothes make them more unsafe and risky.
       This will continue till the sensibility is developed amongest men to look beyond their beauty, fashion and other releted things. Though in a democratic country every women is free for any wears and to enjoy fashion as she desires but she is not secured enough to enjoy it freely. There are cases where they are made victims of men. This can be reduced by introducing law to award deterrent punishment to the offenders there by killing the wolf in them and setting examples for others. There are only a few who humiliate the women. Women are harassed in many public places too, may it be hotels, railway stations, schools, colleges or on the roads. Women feel insecure in such places and will continue to be so unless the mechanism for protection of basic human rights is made effective by providing adequate civic securities.
      I am optimistic that Government will take necessary steps to get the adequate law framed and arrange for protection of women out of the gender-based humiliation. There are instances where some criminals are involved in rape cases, molestation and other unhealthy activities outside their homes, whereasa back home they play double standards with their wives. The relations ultimately are victimized. The electronic and print media, volunteers, NGOs, social workers, school and college students and intellectuals can play a key role in educating people to change their mindset and induce a healthier attitude and prigressive thinking by realizing deeply about this genuine problem in the society.

WHICH IS MORE INFORMATIVE ELECTRONICS MEDIA OR PRINT MEDIA

Eaelier people depended on newspapers, when there was no other source of news and information. Only the urban people and those who were educated used to read the newspapers. The electronics media has replaced this with better and fast flow of news and information. Today it has spread everywhere, both in urbav and rural areas. Electronics media has become so effective that we hear and watch live telecast. What is the best part of electronics media is that it gives live picture and scenes of the places of incidents.
         We can see all national and international programmes. That generates curiosity too. We all see the news and happenings in the TV many times during the day. Different channels are giving different information and programmes. This has become sufficient for all kind of information and knowledge. Many people are interested in watching the burning topics, in which they are keen to see and hear the logical comments and arguments of prominent people. The print media has played an important role during war, disasters, tragedies, accidents and other national and international events.
        The electronics media is successful in making the knowledge of people upto date with relevant scenes and pictures in respect of the places of occurrence. There is an important role of electronics media to educate the illiterate and socially victimized people, farmers, unskilled workers, youths and common people of the country through all possible information and expertise available with them in the respective fields. There is an appreciable role of electronics media which has contributed significantly to progress and achievements in various fields mainly agriculture, family planning, social structure, entrichment of national language, unity, education and political system of the country.
        In the recent past, the television has grown very fast and real coverage of natural disasters, terrorism, hijackings, war and train accidents has been done by it. They covered minute-to-minute happenings and telecast them there by giving uptodate information to the people. Some of our TV channels like Star News, Zee News and Aaj Tak are very fast in covering news and information. TV gives all the facts and figures with pictures, which is more informative. Some TV channels have covered momentous events which took place in the recent past. For example, Mumbai train blast terrorist massacre in Assam, Naxalite violence in Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Bihar, terrorists strike at British airport at Glasgow and most lately the Operation Silence carried out in July 2007 on Lal Masjid in Islamabad by Pakistan army.
       All there events were covered so vividly by the electronics media. Electronics media facilities linking your mind with the place of happening. That helps in making things more information. There are a few channeles like Discovery and National Geography which give interesting and educative programmes are adequately informative too. The Internet has helped us in keeping ourselves abreast of the latest news all the time apart from many more of its advantages.

WHO SERVES THE COUNTRY MORE A DOCTOR OR A TEACHER




 India is a developing country. The major portion of population is living in the villages. We have seen in the past that the villages are not situated in a planned manner. There is no proper system of drainage of water. Sewage lines do not exist. People are not careful to keep their surroundings neat and clean. Villages are generally found unhygienic, which is causing a number of diseases.

     There has been a lot of loss to men and material. There are a number of diseases affecting the children and making them handicapped forever or killing them. The Doctors save many children from the above type of dangerous diseases by giving preventive medicines in the form of drops, injections, capsules or tablets. We take example from army doctors who apart from treating soldiers in difficult areas and during war, also take active part in aid to civil authorities when disaster takes place due to various natural calamities in different parts of the country.

   Doctors go from village to village including interior areas to treat the people despite many problems and absence amenities. We have seen their role during accidents, terrorist strikes natural disasters all over the country. The doctors worked day and night and could save a number of lives and provide treatment to the victims. Their timely attendance is an important aspect in saving the lives.
