The Indian Society
Human
beings are known to be social animals. They need other people around
them for support, for help, for “development”. The aggregate of
people living together in a more or less ordered community or “the
society” was formed to fulfill these requirements. Our relatives,
neighbours, friends, acquaintances form it.
Nowadays
the term “supportive society” maybe taken ironically by many
people, taking the youth into special consideration, and I do not
seem to have reasons, enough to contradict that.
The
institution of society seems to have lost its motive of being
supportive, for which it was formed in the first place. Call it
increasing competetion, or decreasing goodwill of people, but people
seem more eager to criticize than they are to apprecaite.
They
tend to judge us at every moment, every action, every decision, and
what's worst is that they judge us according to their centuries old
mentality.
Apple
co-founder Steve Wozniak commented about Indians lacking in ceative
quotient, and he blamed the Indian education system for inhibiting
the creativity. In my opinion, the society adds up to this
conservative atitude. Living in one of the most populous countries,
with a competetion with one of the most hardworking and commited
intellectual labourers, and keeping in mind about what the
judgemental society thinks about us, is not all easy.
Steve
Wozniak was not wrong when he said that in the process of looking for
good jobs, the hunger for creativity has taken a backseat. Ever heard
an Indian aunty advicing you to go after your passion, and pursue the
career you like?
Youngsters
are starting to develop a mindset of either not caring at all about
wat people think or caring a little too much about what others think
that they change their goals in life just to gain approval of people.
Also
in the era of increasing competetion and close minded people, the
youth is sure to be disturbed, and more or less frightened about
being compared with all the children of his age group.
Moreover,
this leads to bragging about the achievements and the performance of
their respective wards which leads to cut throat egoistic competetion
between the grown ups which ultimately increases the pressure on he
children.
Lately,
in my opinion, society has had more of a presure exerting phenomena
on an individual which often leads to show off and the exertion of
the individual beyong his limits-physically, financally, socially.
