Man in 21st Century
(Muhammad Ali Malik, Gujrat)
21st century is the age of
modern technology. Everybody is running after Wealth and fame. He crosses every
limit to achieve his desires. Now a days everyone is a victim of spook of
glamour. We, the people of current age are, running after materialism. The
parameter to judge the nobility of a man is “Wealth”. It he has wealth; he will
be honored and respected by everyone.
The major tragedy of our nation is that our youth is materialistic. They think
and care for only this, martial life. They have forgotten the life, which will
come after this one.
Today’s Youngman is just worried about his career and makes planes more and
more. In this regard the tragic thing is this, that they have no limits. They
want to earn money and don’t care for fare or un fare means.
At present, we have no emotions. We even forget our blood relations just for
money.
Now there are two main points to discuss, first what are causes of this way of
our thinking and the other is how can this situation can be made batter?
In my opinion, there are two main causes of our low thinking, one is the
attitude of other people towards youngsters and the other is the influence of
media, on our society. People give more importance to wealth than the ability
and talent of others, especially youngsters. In this way they indulge in
negative activities. They assume that wealth has more importance that them, in
the society. So they make earning of wealth as the purpose of their life.
Now we discuss, the role of media. Now a days media has made itself, over
glamorous and over attractive. Media cares for only its business. And for the
good business it needs to be made glamorous. The attached to media has no
worries about its effects on our young generation.
To overcome this worse situation first of all we have to change our thinking
style. Senior people of society should encourage young ones and appreciate their
talent. They should be treated equally without any differentiation. In this way.
They will make their thing positive, and this will lead them and the nation to a
happy future.
Media can play a vital role to tackle this situation of lawlessness. It is the
duty of media to tell the people about good and back things. If media starts
performing its duty perfectly, many of our problems would be solved.
Religion can be helpful also to overcome this worse situation. People should
tell their children that, this World and life is martial.
And there is another life to come after this one, and that is immortal. Whatever
we do in this life, we will get its result in the next life. So we should make
ourselves ready for that.
