MY SCHOOL LIFE
Resolutions that I never followed during my school period age.
To create separate identity.
Never be jealous with other’s success.
Never compromise to do the label best.
To maintain positive attitude.
To get experience for everythings happen to recognize the many different perspectives in life.
To turn the joy and woe into opportunity.
To evaluate importancy of a real friend.
To struggle for better existence and prosperity.
Not to blame other but to be self analytical.
Not to worry about other’s though.
Science and Culture
This is an era of science. There is hardly any domain where science and technology do not play an important part. Whether it is on the food front or defence, in the matter of clothing or comfort, in the enjoyment of leisure or pastime, modern science and technology contribute to make man’s life more effective, fast and pleasant. Science has also entered into the world of art.
Science has been defined as a body of systematized knowledge as an object of study. It covers generally truths or the operation or general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific methods. Culture is the act of developing the intellectual and moral faculties, especially by education. It brings enlightenment and excellence of taste acquired by ascetic training. Culture, when applied to society, implies the behavior typical or a group of class.
Modern science was born as a reaction against the dogmatism of the middle ages. It first invented the scientific methods of research. Then, it applied these methods to the phenomena o nature. Consequently science achieved wonderful results; the railway train, the telephone, the telegraph, the motor car, the cinema, the radio and the aeroplane, etc.,are the great achievements of modern science. Most of them were very useful as they were introduced into use. The scientists were greatly elated by these. Naturally, they thought that the knowledge of science was far superior to the knowledge of religion and morality. In their enthusiasm they forgot morality altogether. As a matter of fact, they defined the scientific temper in such terms as rendered the morality irrelevant. They maintained that the business of the scientist is to deal with only what is and what can be and not what “ought to be”. Thus, it was very natural that they should go on with the experiments in the name of truth without thinking of the consequence of their work.
However, science and technology stand for rationalization of man’s activities. Progress in science and technology is based on essential unalterable facts. Sentiments alone has no place in the scientific thinking. Even institution, which plays a great role in the formulation of scientific theory, is not easily accepted unless it can proved and justified in some way or the other. Scientific work demands a certain rigour in thinking, a respect for objectivity in the evaluation of facts. It trains the mind to make a clear, dispassionate and objective assessment of events and situations.
Thus, the scientific age has ushered in a number of new values and invincible optimism in attacking human problems, a rationalization of effort so as to obtain maximum efficiency, sense of sharing in the common tasks of mankind, in relieving human want and suffering and feeling of the brotherhood of man. These are all values that have become a part of traditions of an industrialized society and can, therefore, be called elements of true culture.
The irony of the present situation is that the protagonists of the two cultures- literary culture and scientific culture- have ceased to speak to each other in any effective way. Literary men like to pretend that the traditional culture is the whole of culture, as though the exploration of the natural order and science were of no interest either in their own values or in its consequences. They think as if scientific edifice of physical world in its intellectual depth, complexity and articulation, is the most beautiful and wonderful collective work of the mind in the man. On the other hand, many scientists have no use for the whole literature of traditional culture. It seems to them totally irrelevant to the real needs of man.
The United Nations has established as one of its important wings called the UNESCO realizing the important role that science plays in the field of education and culture. Gone are the days when culture and refinement were monopoly of the few, privileged with money and power, luxury and leisure. Culture is now the property of masses all over the world and this boon has become possible only with the aid of science. Science has diversified and decentralized culture and made it the common media of international understanding.
Composition Culture
India, our country, has for ages been known to the world for its rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, respect for life, higher values of life and spiritual attainments. It is acknowledged the world over the culture of India is very diverse, old, rich and all embracing. The superiority of India’s composite culture can be fully appreciated from the fact that this country has along been known in the whole world for its lofty values of life and peace-loving nature.
The composite culture of our country is very rich and healthy because the traits of various religious and cults flourishing in this country side by side are prominently visible in its various aspects. This composite, culture is therefore, really said to be the soul of India- the life of the nation.
Indian culture is a composite culture because here there is a protection and freedom of distinct identity even for religious and ethnic minorities. It is only in India that followers of any religion and denomination can profess, practice and propagate religion of their choice. It is all because of the secular character of Indian cultural strains flourishing side by side. No cultural or religious group can denominate any other cultural or religious group. We, the people of India must feel proud of having such a rich cultural heritage. Another important factor that has helped India to have its composite culture is the readiness of Indians to accept and adopt anything good coming from any direction. It is also because of the influence of our common social reformers who mentally prepared the people of this country to line together in peace and amity in spite of differences in beliefs and traditions.
EMERGING GLOBAL ORDER: POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC
The cold war came to an end in later 1991 with the disintegration of the soviet union. The unification of germany in Europe, the breaking up and subsequent chaos in the Balkans and east African states, formation of economic blocs like APEC, NAFTA, and the European Union have all been pointers to a unipolar world where the United States is the sole superpower on the scene. The political ideological identification with one power bloc or the other has been replaced by gravitating towards a new global economic order, stressing the inter-dependence of nations on one another. It received a shot in the arm with signing of the new GATT Treaty at Marrakesh on April 15,1994 by 125 nations, including india.
While political integration may yet take a long time to materialize with the ongoing civil war in many countries like Yugosalvia, Afghanistan, yemen, Rwanda and several other nations, a new global economic order may be feasible in the near future. The economic compulsions, even for industrials giants like the United states, japan, and other G-7 members, may soon compel them to work towards an economic integration of the world while the United States calls the shots in the political arena, including the running of the United Nations through proxy.
Trying to evolve an economic mechanism to integrate the world has been the major concern of GATT over the years. Now that it has been replaced by the world trade organisation, a new economic global order may soon become a reality. The only caution to be adopted would be that the poor, developing countries do not suffer and are not discriminated against by the rich, developed countries. If tariffs are to be lowered and trade barriers eliminated it must be done at all levels and for all countries. The concept of granting the most favoured nation status to one country is rank discrimination. Nor should a particular country, the united state has been doing of late, lay down its own trade laws and make others toe its line of action or thoughts in trade matters. The application of super 301 by the United States hangs like the proverbial sword of damocles. This must stop if a new economic global order is to be emerge in the next decade or so.
In the political sphere also, the NATO Partnership for peace programme, initiated by the USA, has been widely welcomed. If the United States means well, it must elicit the cooperation of its former adversaries like Russia and east European nations towards making this programme a success. It is heartening to note that nations like hungary and Russia have joined it.
If a political integration is to be achieved, the highly discriminatory nuclear non-proliferation treaty must also be revised to treat all nuclear-weapons states equally. The very fact that it is discriminatory has prevented india and several other nations from signing it. And no amount of pressure or arm-twisting has yielded any results so far. The strategic war initiative or star wars, launched by the United States, has failed. It should realize that the world now wants peace and work towards this goal if a new political order is to evolve in times to come. But it will have to follow-and not precede- the economic global order. Both political and economic integration cannot come about simultaneously.
In the context of global scenario, the leaders of developing countries like india should not remain peeny-wise and pound-foolish in national and global politics. Rather it should engage in foregoing the closer interaction among the developing countries to set about the struggle in this global rat race competition. The G-15 countries should work in bringing better adherence and closer cooperation of the third world for restricting the UN security Council and other world bodies to reflect the changed scenario of the world.
One world
The present generation lives under the international system based on the belief in the world unity, which will eventually enable the world to organize its affairs from the viewpoint of international peace. This is an important achievement of the twentieth century. The United Nations is endeavouring to prove this fact. This, however, does not mean, that political world unity already exists or that we can have anything like world government either immediately or in the near future. It, however does not mean that 185 nations subscribe to the principles enshrined in the united nations’ Charter which stipulates that all international problems must be dealt with peacefully through a common organization. These nations have in writing, if not in spirit,renounced war and aggression. Vahue outlines of a possible world system have thus been dimly laid down. The United Nations, which is a symbol of this world system, is an institution which works splendidly to make the world system a success and to keep on improving upon it to the ultimate goal of world unity.
The idea of one world is not new in the history. At least two conceptions of it have emerged from time to time. One is primarily religious. The belief that men are spiritual children of one god, destined in time to unite in a single fellowship under a common and generally accepted system of morals and values, was the driving force behind different religious movements-like Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, islam, or Christianity. The second concept was secular, that of world empire. Many races and conquerors aspired to achieve it.
The remarkable fact about the twentieth century is that in our times the assumption of division of the world among different nations is universally accepted. But it is held that this should someday be ended and an area of unity is not an impossible dream. But now men are increasingly inclined to the view that unless the dream of one world reaches a measure of fulfillment, there can be no viable basis of human life. There have been suggestions, although with different contents, of world confederation during this century. The forces compelling a growing degree of world unity are irresistible and they are moving with cataractal speeds. Governments may resist these forces for a time but, in doing so, they risk disruption or rather world’s ultimate annihilation.
The most easily understandable force is the sheer shriinkage of the earth ,notin diameter, but by the speed of jet planes with which human beings move about now-a-days. Communtations have been imporved very fast .Men can , if they wish, communicate for many where to any where within a matter ofseconds .photographs of events in new delhi are telegraphrd at once to newspapers in the United states and other counteirs beyond the seven seas. The radio stations of most nationalcapitals pour forth a steady steam of broadcasts beamed to the people of all countries . all people , save the most primitive, livemore or less in the presence o0f each other and with a modicum of knowledge about each other .This knowledge is all too littleans frequently not good . yet it is there. Ideas move equally fast.modern man’s capacity togive and distribute information is now unlimited.
Anthoer force, and the most effective, arises out of the sudden use of scientific knowledge.This has set in motion awhole wave of cognate currents.Perhaps the first of these currents was medical, the discovery that the spread of communicable diseases might be checked.Nations word together as germs and viruses are not deterred by fronties.Fundamental medical principles are universal.
They take little notice of races and religions and they have almost nothing to do with politics, nationalities or flags.Doctors talk more or less the same language the world over.They put an end to yellow fever and smallpox during the nineteenth century, brought pneumonia under control and conquered malaria. Recent achievements, including the transplantation of heart, kidney or other parts of human body, are matters of universal knowledge, demanding universal co-operation.
Science in other fields is also rapidly developing. Astronomy, mathematics, biology and other sciences are similar in all countries. When their principles are applied, it is generally felt that their application requires cooperation by many nations. Transmission of electrical impulses by radio, for example, giving rise to radio communications was rapidly expanded in second and third decades of this century. Thus, in 1927, rules were made for distribution of wavelengths, so that air could be used to mutual advantage without its becoming a vast confusion. Cairo convention assigned frequencies to various countries. Today telecommunication union is there as part of the United Nations.
The United Nations also has other branches of international cooperation in different fields. UNESCO is designed to spread education and improve educational standards ; the World Health Organisation is designed to combate diseases on a world wide scale; the Food and Agriculture Organization deals with production and distribution of food in and to areas were hunger is a problem. The International Labour Organisation is designed to improve the condition of labour, provisions of adequate living wages, protection of workers against diseases and injury throughout the world. Thus gradually a set of international agencies dealing with problems of international nature has come into existence. Some of these can make worldwide decisions, though they may have no final authority. They can do this, because there are in some measure self-enforced.
While the United Nations works within limitations, it does play an effective role in taking steps toward the world unity. Its Security Council is the standing committee of the five great powers, although now it has ten more countries on it, elected every two years. The General Assembly comprises an annual meeting of representatives of all the 185 nations, presently members of U.N.O. It is a sort of world annual congress and the decisions are taken by vote. In theory a vote of the General Assembly expresses the world opinion or rights or wrongs of any situations threatening a breach of the peace and of measures to be taken to restore peace or forestall possible wars.
The prospect of rapproachment on major international issue between Great Powers greatly augments the purpose of world unity or ultimate world government. Already, for the first time in history nations, great and small, have convinced themselves against the possibility of military victories of previous ages. The omnidestructibility of any future war is an effective deterrent against its outbreak. At the most, the world can be held to a serious of “little” or “limited” wars which will not spread. To risk any bigger war means to risk extension of human race. To maintain life means to move towards a system of global peace and order. To achieve this, there has been a slow and steady, though disorderly and unsatisfactory, but nevertheless viable progress towards the creation of a world order.
In this atomic era, war has become useless as an instrument of resolving differences between nations, because atom bomb has obliterated the formerly valid distinction between the combatants and non-combatants, front and the rear, victor and the vanquished. As the fear of war rows and man realizes the urgency of a stable peace co-existence and shed their nationalistic jealousy, fear and aspirations to a great extent. Once this begins, the dream of a ‘World State’ will cease to be a dream and become reality
Politics, Business and Bureaucracy- A Fatal Triangle
The world today is caught in the web of politics, business and bureaucracy (PBB). This PBB is really a fatal triangle. Politicians rely on big business for funds to contest elections. On their part, businessmen turn to bureaucracy to condone their misdeeds by seeking loopholes in the existing law. Bureaucrats advice politicians and businessmen on matters which are ostensibly outside their domain. When all these three indispensable ingredients of society are in tandem, corruption sets in; it seeps into the vitals of a society or a nation. In that event, nothing can save it from disintegration and ultimate decay.
This happened in ancient Rome and is increasingly evident in many parts of the world today. Governments have been toppled in Japan and Italy with alarming regularity in the recent past on charges of corruption. In India and the rest of the third world countries, however, it has become a way of life. And, what is worse, it has come to be accepted by the masses as the sole mode of running an administration. The recently-published Vohra Committee reports on the politician-criminal nexus and the efforts of crusaders like Kiranbedi and Khairnar to arouse the people to the fatal PBB triangle are mere ripples in stagnant waters. We have become so immune to the goings-on in the higher echelons of democracy that we cannot think beyond what exists today. The politician-business- bureaucracy triangle is fast eating into the vitals of the nation. People’s welfare is the least of their concern. In a democracy like India, the PBB relationship is endless, no matter whatever official policy is adopted. Modern polity is ruled by this unholy trinity comprising politics, business and bureaucracy. Each of these is trying to assert its supremacy over the other two. At times, politicians call the shots, which is unusually after they have won an election with generous help from the uncounted wealth of big business who, in turn, are helped by the bureaucracy. It has become a chain reaction today and the conflict cannot be reasonably resolved to the advantage of one or another.
The ideal situation, however, is when politics, business and bureaucracy work for the general good. But this is a lofty ideal, honoured more in breach than in promise. Politicians lay down the laws, bureaucrats implement them. But this is generally done for the benefit of business tycoons, who are the benefactors of the politicians and the bureaucrats. In reality, big business calls the shots in this unholy trinity. This is, indeed, a fatal triangle. This also explains why the rich are getting richer and the poor are increasingly poor with each passing day.
Although politicians may swear by the law, the poor have hardly any access to bureaucracy or business or law courts. Poll time promises made to them always remain on paper because the politicians are too busy recompensing their business bosses for help during the elections. The bureaucrats, most of the time, are too happy carrying out the orders and wishes of the politicians because it is in their own long-term interest; they also feather their own nests at the expenses of the poor of the land. Corruption is, thus, institutionalized.
It is, therefore, rightly remarked that politics, business, and bureaucracy are a fatal triangle that may sound the death knell of our democracy unless people read the writing on the wall and act accordingly, to wipe out this evil.
My wining entry
HOW TECHNOLOGY HAS IMPROVED OUR LIVES
Through the years, we've watched technology grow like a child budding into adulthood: It starts out mostly crying and pooping, then crawling, gradually learning to walk, and finally able to run at a speed we all wish we could keep up with. We've seen technology fail, and we've seen it succeed. We've poked fun at it when it doesn't make sense, and we've praised it when it's absolutely brilliant. We've yelled at it when it runs out of power, and we've fixed or replaced it when it gets run down.
We treat technology as a family member—even if that is a little co-dependent. You can't blame us, though; it's certainly made aspects of our lives easier: We're no longer forced to send letters through the postal service, book vacations through travel agents, shop in stores, visit the library for research material, or wait for our photos to be developed. Thanks to technology, all of these activities can be performed either digitally or online.
At the same time, though, technology can make life more convoluted—especially when something doesn't work right or doesn't do what it's supposed to: Say, for instance, a GPS device tells you to turn the wrong way on a one-way street (yikes!), or a computer erases all of your important data (ouch!).
Unfortunately, it's not always easy to understand how a product or service works, not to mention whether or not to hold off on adopting it until a better, shinier thing comes along. A perfect example is the ever-evolving video format. We've gone from Betamax to VHS to DVD to HD DVD/Blu-ray to just Blu-ray (and everything in-between, of course). It can take years before a technology catches on, and even more time before we see a significant price drop.
For the most part, however, technology does us more good than harm: It's reconnected us with old college roommates, helped us learn a foreign language, and encouraged us to exercise. Follow us as we look back at how technology has changed our lives—for the better and for the worse—in terms of communication, computing, dining, entertainment, and travel.The development and improvement of technology has greatly improved our lives. It has led to a far better, easier and very comfortable life for the people. There are various ways through which technology has changed our lives and this includes the following:The rise of the Internet technology has improved our daily lives in very many ways. The world business and trade has become very fast, easier and more reliable. You can now transact business with a person who is very far from you without any difficulties. It has become easier to book railway tickets, bus tickets and even flights at the comforts of your home without having to move. The payment of bills and other accounts related jobs of every business entity is easily managed by the available online facilities. Financial institutions and banks have introduced online internet systems which makes life easier. The introduction of ATMs has made it very possible to withdraw money at anytime of the day. Also it has become easy to advertise through the internet and thereby promoting the business in a faster way.
Three P's of problem
Poverty is that awesome spouse
Of illiteracy, which is the cause
To most of the heinous crimes
From militancy to purloin.
Population is trekking new heights
Dilating every day and night
Resources are being channelized
In feeding and the biased.
Pollution- the conflagrating solicit
not to be taken in demeanor placid
much cause lies in deforestation
and none is the benefit of mere accusations.
Something really has to be done
To turn progress into a fun
If three p’s are licensed to reach far
Very soon they will become afear.
Rag pickers of india
The rag pickers of India present a pitiable sight. It is poverty that goads them to resort rag picking. Day in and day out they may be seen on the roads, the lanes and the bylanes of a city or town looking for cast-off clothes or something else showy or shoddy that may sell. More often that not, it is children who have taken to rag picking. But some young men and women are also forced to take up the showy trade to make both ends meet. Why should innocent children who should be at school at this age do this filthy job? It is because their parents are often too poor to support them. So they neglect them and abandon them to face the cruel world on their own.
Laughter is the Best Medicine
Laughter is certainly the best medicine. It ensures healthy and longer life. Researchers have found that people, healthy or harried, who often laugh out and see the funny side of sad situations are far likely to have heart attack than humourless individuals

Importance of education
1. An essential human virtue-Education is an essential human virtue. Man becomes 'man' through education. He is what education makes him. It has been rightly said that without education, man is a splendid slave, reasoning savage.
2. A necessity for society-Education is necessary for society. Education fashions and models man for society. Man cannot be conceived merely in terms of his biological existence. Education brings into focus the social aspect of man. Education signifies man's supreme position in society.
3. Important for the integration of separate entities-An individual is made up of different entities. Education brings about the integration of these separate entities.
4. Gives significance of life-Education teaches what man lives and struggles for. It cultivates an integrated life. By so doing, it gives significance of life.
5. Educated men are superior-Education is a sign of superiority. Aristotle wrote, "Educated men are as much superior to uneducated as the living are to the dead."
6. Sign of freedom-Education is a sign of freedom. Epictetus had declared, "Only the educated are free."
7. A controlling grace-Diogenes felt that "Education is a controlling grace to the young, consolation to the old wealth to the poor and ornament to the rich."
8. Basis of good life-Education is an essential basis of good life. A man becomes a human being in the real sense when he is transformed from primarily an animal being into a human being.
In short, education is an essential concomitant of all human societies. "What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul", says Addison
HOW DO I SEE MATHEMATICS
Haven't you ever wished that you were living the life of someone else? Haven't you ever wished that you were smarter, born into a richer family, and had opportunities and things that you don't have at the present?
I have.
I have to admit that I have wished for such things in the past. And whenever I have thought like that, my mind has not been at peace. I have felt restless and discontented.
Discontentment leads to greed. When you're dissatisfied with what you have, you begin to yearn for the possessions of others and devise dubious ways of acquiring them. And the first thing such an action does is to shatter the peace in our minds and hearts, because deep inside, a voice is continuously reminding us, "You are wrong! You are at Fault!"
I live in a part of India which, in the summer of 2013, witnessed a never-before-happened catastrophe when a lake in the high Himalayas burst due to several days of incessant rains. As the mountain of swirling waters gushed down, they swept away anything and everything that stood in their way―vehicles, homes, shops and even bridges.
After the killing waters receded and normalcy returned, I realized that our little town was not the same as it was before. It was a collage of broken homes, battered lives and shattered structures.
Thankfully our house was unharmed and everyone in our locality was safe.
This incident has made me see life in a new light and realize the real value of things which I had till then taken for granted. I understood how important it is to value the present and be at peace with what we have instead of pining for newer and better things. To quote Fredrick Keonig, "We tend to forget that happiness and peace do not come as a result of getting something we don't have but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have."
Today when I sweep my house, a chore which I earlier hated to do, I feel grateful to God to let me have what I have and the chance to take care of it. What once seemed boring is now a boon.
Contentment holds the real key to peace, and to cultivate contentment, we need to connect to our inner voice and listen to what it has to say.
Whether one meditates, prays, or listens to the songs of nature, we need to allow ourselves some time to hear what is in our hearts―listen to our inner voice, the voice of our soul. Connecting with my inner voice makes me better equipped to deal with the world outside cheerfully and in a calm manner.
My inner voice tells me many things. It guides me through the twists and turns of life. It is like a reliable compass that makes its presence felt the very moment I am able to switch off the noisy, distracting, chaotic, sounds around me. Connecting to my inner voice is akin to taking a dip in an ocean of positivity and peace.
Of course, I have to admit that not all the time I am positivity and peace personified. As is expected of a child of my age, I have a full and often chaotic life crammed with various activities and chores. But, with a few conscious adjustments, I have discovered how to stay connected to my inner self and revel in contentment and peace.
After the 2013 catastrophe, I know things can change anytime, but as of today I am totally at peace with myself and everything around me.
Every day, as I wake up and watch the sun inch up above the horizon, my inner voice reminds me, "Living life is the biggest project you will ever undertake and it is worthwhile to live it properly. There is no end to craving and only contentment alone can lead you to happiness and peace. "

Our World, Our Future(wining entry)
We are a bud today and hoping blossom for tomorrow. We are the cardinal pillar of the world by saying man is the architect of his own future. We need to do something for mankind. Our earth is
our mother who always nurtures and cares for us like our own birth mother.
Every step of life is interconnected with the world so we can say that if there is no world, there will be no life and no future at all. Our world is everything: creative and preserving. Our world is
our property and we should protect it wisely. Our world is getting polluted and degraded by the merciless activities of human beings and their recklessness is degrading the quality of air, water
and soil, which is misfortune to our future.
People don’t consider the future for upcoming generations and they don’t plan for new generations. Modernization, globalization and artificial living standards create deforestation,declination of natural beauty and haphazard use of natural resources. The impacts are global warming, acid rain, ozone layer depletion and natural disasters.
What will be in the future? I always ask myself this question. Nobody is responsible for us. The modern era is deeply rooted with self-centeredness, violence, crime and lack of certitude. To
eradicate these tendencies we have to bring the light of peace, justice, brotherhood, responsibility and rational human behavior through education.
Education is true medicine of the mind if all the citizens of the world get access to education to create the better world and make it the best place.Changing the universe is not an easy task but a thousand mile journey starts with a single step.
Our small initiation may lead the world. If we initiate the global educational campaign people would support us to develop global literacy. Our future is best on the level of education. The advanced computer technology, modern scientific equipment and
the global village connect the vast treasure of information.
If we are not familiar with those required things we are like a crow stranded in the clouds. How do we manage time when saying morning shows the day? We need to think about our future and
Choose the right forward attempt. Our future is in our hands. Educating people is a long plan with good vision and thinking for new generations.
What is wrong and right can be judged by educated people. Education helps to find out several things regarding invent
ion, innovation, social science, ethics, morality and human values.
Everything depends on education so if we are interested in brightening our future education is first. If we are educated
with important skills regarding life the world is easy to preserve.
The world should not be destroyed by human activities. We need to preserve our world which reflects our future.
SHARE PEACE(WINING ESSAY)
As a young person in today’s society I feel world peace is possible in our lifetime. The challenges we face have always been the same; racism, inequality, discrimination, and poverty these are part of our story.
The difference today there are many people standing up for their rights. Knowing we are all connected my success is influenced by others and when they suffer it will affect me too. The world has gotten smaller in many ways. You can get on a plane and go anywhere in the world in less than a day. You can go onto the internet and connect with different people from around the world in a instant. Yet with all the advances we have also become disconnected and have lost ourselves in a world where what you wear and how much you have is more important than your character and values.
There are wonderful role models all through history. People that had the courage to stand up to tyranny and faced incredible odds. Children like Anne Frank who believed in the goodness and humanity in people until her life was taken by the system that did not even see her as a person. Nkosi Johnson a young boy from our own country who knew that his HIV-status did not make him less than any other child and believed every child deserves equal opportunity. Laura Bridgeman who became the first deaf, blind person to be properly educated. Malala Yousafza who defied the Taliban and demanded that girls receive the same education as boys.
There have always been bullies, tyrants those that believe they are better, they deserve more. Every day around the world there are the Anne Franks, Nkosi Johnson, Laura Bridgeman’s and Malala’s standing up for their rights and less fortunate, underprivileged, those without voices the unseen but today the heroes outnumber the villains.
I myself am a young boy with a disability, the only one in my family. Yet they accept me knowing I am capable of anything. We have an opportunity to change the world. By accepting our ownselves, our differences, our imperfections, our shortcomings, we will be able to accept others, their differences, their imperfection and their shortcoming.
In Greek Mythology there is Pandora who opened a jar and every disease and evil came out into the world. After all the things left the jar, the only one left was hope. I believe that is our world today. Filled with all kinds of evil and war. Yet there is hope, there will always be hope. Someone said; “Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.” In today’s world there are too many of us that will do something and stand up.
We are more especially the youth because they are the future. Ensuring the evils of the past are not repeated, and to make our tomorrow better than our today. Nelson Mandela said, “Be the change you want to see in the world”.

Children like Anne Frank who believed in the goodness and humanity in people until her life was taken by the system that did not even see her as a person. Nkosi Johnson a young boy from our own country who knew that his HIV-status did not make him less than any other child and believed every child deserves equal opportunity. Laura Bridgeman who became the first deaf, blind person to be properly educated. Malala Yousafza who defied the Taliban and demanded that girls receive the same education as boys.
There have always been bullies, tyrants those that believe they are better, they deserve more. Every day around the world there are the Anne Franks, Nkosi Johnson, Laura Bridgeman’s and Malala’s standing up for their rights and less fortunate, underprivileged, those without voices the unseen but today the heroes outnumber the villains.
I myself am a young boy with a disability, the only one in my family. Yet they accept me knowing I am capable of anything. We have an opportunity to change the world. By accepting our ownselves, our differences, our imperfections, our shortcomings, we will be able to accept others, their differences, their imperfection and their shortcoming.
In Greek Mythology there is Pandora who opened a jar and every disease and evil came out into the world. After all the things left the jar, the only one left was hope. I believe that is our world today. Filled with all kinds of evil and war. Yet there is hope, there will always be hope. Someone said; “Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.” In today’s world there are too many of us that will do something and stand up.
We are more especially the youth because they are the future. Ensuring the evils of the past are not repeated, and to make our tomorrow better than our today. Nelson Mandela said, “Be the change you want to see in the world”.

Digital Creativity: Culture Reimagined
Abstract
India, our country, has for ages been known to the world for its rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, respect for life, higher values of life and spiritual attainments. It is acknowledged the world over the culture of India is very diverse, old, rich and all embracing. The superiority of India’s composite culture can be fully appreciated from the fact that this country has along been known in the whole world for its lofty values of life and peace-loving nature.
This is an era of science. There is hardly any domain where science and technology do not play an important part. Whether it is on the food front or defence, in the matter of clothing or comfort, in the enjoyment of leisure or pastime, modern science and technology contribute to make man’s life more effective, fast and pleasant. Science has also entered into the world of art.
India, our country, has for ages been known to the world for its rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, respect for life, higher values of life and spiritual attainments. It is acknowledged the world over the culture of India is very diverse, old, rich and all embracing. The superiority of India’s composite culture can be fully appreciated from the fact that this country has along been known in the whole world for its lofty values of life and peace-loving nature.
The composite culture of our country is very rich and healthy because the traits of various religious and cults flourishing in this country side by side are prominently visible in its various aspects. This composite, culture is therefore, really said to be the soul of India- the life of the nation.
Indian culture is a composite culture because here there is a protection and freedom of distinct identity even for religious and ethnic minorities. It is only in India that followers of any religion and
denomination can profess, practice and propagate religion of their choice. It is all because of the secular character of Indian cultural strains flourishing side by side. No cultural or religious group can denominate any other cultural or religious group. We, the people of India must feel proud of having such a rich cultural heritage. Another important factor that has helped India to have its composite culture is the readiness of Indians to accept and adopt anything good coming from any direction. It is also because of the influence of our common social reformers who mentally prepared the people of this country to line together in peace and amity in spite of differences in beliefs and traditions.
This is an era of science. There is hardly any domain where science and technology do not play an important part. Whether it is on the food front or defence, in the matter of clothing or comfort, in the enjoyment of leisure or pastime, modern science and technology contribute to make man’s life more effective, fast and pleasant. Science has also entered into the world of art.
Science has been defined as a body of systematized knowledge as an object of study. It covers generally truths or the operation or general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific methods. Culture is the act of developing the intellectual and moral faculties, especially by education. It brings enlightenment and excellence of taste acquired by ascetic training. Culture, when applied to society, implies the behavior typical or a group of class.
Modern science was born as a reaction against the dogmatism of the middle ages. It first invented the scientific methods of research. Then, it applied these methods to the phenomena o nature.
Consequently science achieved wonderful results; the railway train, the telephone, the telegraph, the motor car, the cinema, the radio and the aeroplane, etc.,are the great achievements of modern science. Most of them were very useful as they were introduced into use. The scientists were greatly elated by these. Naturally, they thought that the knowledge of science was far superior to the knowledge of religion and morality. In their enthusiasm they forgot morality altogether. As a matter of fact, they defined the scientific temper in such terms as rendered the morality irrelevant. They maintained that the business of the scientist is to deal with only what is and what can be and not what “ought to be”. Thus, it was very natural that they should go on with the experiments in the name of truth without thinking of the consequence of their work.
However, science and technology stand for rationalization of man’s activities. Progress in science and technology is based on essential unalterable facts. Sentiments alone has no place in the scientific thinking. Even institution, which plays a great role in the formulation of scientific theory, is not easily accepted unless it can proved and justified in some way or the other. Scientific work demands a certain rigour in thinking, a respect for objectivity in the evaluation of facts. It trains the mind to make a clear, dispassionate and objective assessment of events and situations.
Thus, the scientific age has ushered in a number of new values and invincible optimism in attacking human problems, a rationalization of effort so as to obtain maximum efficiency, sense of sharing in the common tasks of mankind, in relieving human want and suffering and feeling of the brotherhood of man. These are all values that have become a part of traditions of an industrialized society and can, therefore, be called elements of true culture.
The irony of the present situation is that the protagonists of the two cultures- literary culture and scientific culture- have ceased to speak to each other in any effective way. Literary men like to pretend that the traditional culture is the whole of culture, as though the exploration of the natural order and science were of no interest either in their own values or in its consequences. They think as if scientific edifice of physical world in its intellectual depth, complexity and articulation, is the most beautiful and wonderful collective work of the mind in the man. On the other hand, many scientists have no use for the whole literature of traditional culture. It seems to them totally irrelevant to the real needs of man.
The United Nations has established as one of its important wings called the UNESCO realizing the important role that science plays in the field of education and culture. Gone are the days when culture and refinement were monopoly of the few, privileged with money and power, luxury and leisure. Culture is now the property of masses all over the world and this boon has become possible only with the aid of science. Science has diversified and decentralized culture and made it the common media of international understanding.
Conclusion
We are deep in the midstream of a scientific age and the scientific revolution is taking place very fast. Science and technology are increasing the wealth and the power of man, his comforts and material enjoyment. In certain fast-moving societies, there are bound to rise certain tensions and conflicts. In
such societies, it is desirable that the desire for power and enjoyment be tempered by a thirst for beauty and moral greatness. These values, so predominant in traditional culture, need to be retained so that they can help the culture to transform into a powerful instrument of true human progress and happiness.
