University life is generally a
charming and relaxed life of educational upstairs of students. They start their
education life from school / madarsa where they face stress in their learning
and training. After completion of school life they reach to college life where
they feel relatively relaxation in compare to school and madarsa life. Life is
not free from threat and hazard; similarly unbridled freedom of students in
university life invites many types of threats for students on account of which
not only their educational career gets badly hit, but also their parents suffer
a lot of difficulties. The eight (8) growing menace in University Life is given
below:-
1) Drug Addiction: One major threat in the University life is the use of Drugs
by students that totally spoil their health and study as well as carry them on
the point of no return if they continuously use the drugs. The drug addicted
students become isolated as society does not want to absorb drug addicted
students. The drug addicted student not only does waste his time but also
devastates hard earnings of his parents.
2) Extremism: Due to the influence of the radical political parties in the
Universities, the wave of extremism has reached in the University. Explosion and
killings have become common in the city as youngsters have been confined by the
terrorist groups. They brainwash the youngsters and drug-addicted students and
make them suicide bombers to hit the country badly as well as to defame it.
3) Political Freedom: One threat that is evidently not conceived is the
political freedom in the University Premises that divides the students into
different sects and groups. In the long run these sects and groups make the
bloody fight with each other and even kill the opponents.
4) Disrespect: Once Teachers were respected. Students never opened lips against
them. Their decisions were followed and implemented in letter and spirit. But
now due to the political influence, students become threats for Teachers. To
save their respect and honor the teachers do not reprehend the students even on
their blunder. Disrespect of teachers is common in university and college
premises.
5) Far from Knowledgeable practice: One growing threat that observed in the
University Life is that students have left their knowledgeable practice so as to
gain their political strength to beat the drum. Their curriculum and
knowledgeable practices have come to an end and in place of them their unlawful
and extremist activities have come to the fore.
6) Avoidance to use of Brain: Owing to the political slavery, students do not
use their brain. They make their decision by using their hearts rather than
brain consequently they make fatal mistake even they put their lives in a danger
zone. The avoidance to use of brain makes them trouble makers and in the long
run they are exploited as fuel to destruction by terrorist groups.
7) Bullying: Bullying is also a growing menace in the University. Generally, it
has been witnessed that the unionized students under political shelter harass
all other non-unionized and non-political students causing great inconvenience
for them. This kind of harassing situation not only ruins the peace of the
university, but also the peace of the city.
8) Shortcut Approach: The Shortcut Approach is also a great growing menace in
the University. Students try to take their degrees by way of shortcut approach,
i.e. without the deployment of their thinking, perspiration, mediation and the
patience. They do not consider the value of the time management, consequently
they lag behind also are not in a position to face the competitive market
environment.
