Environment
Pollution
Environmental
pollution is the biggest menace to the human race on this planet today. It
means adding impurity to environment. The environment consists of earth, water,
air, plants and animals. If we pollute them, then the existence of man and
nature will be hampered.
It is true that
trees are being cut down rapidly. Our earth is becoming warmer. If pollution
continues, the day is not far when our earth will be a boiling pan and become a
desert or it will be covered
with sea water causing destruction of mankind.
Pure air is always
needed for inhaling. If we take pure air, our health improves. On the other
hand impure air causes diseases and impairs our health and causes our death.
Smoke pollutes the air. It is the root of air pollution. The smoke which is
discharged from industries, automobiles and kitchens is the mixture of carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane etc. These are all poisonous gases. These
cause lung-cancer, tuberculosis etc.
The garbage
emitting foul smell, the decaying plants and animals also cause air pollution.
Hence the doctors advise the patients having lungs trouble to settle in some
rural places because the air of villages is pure and free from population.
Noise pollution is
another form of pollution. Noise from heavy machinery and vehicles can cause
hearing problems and in extreme cases, deafness. As there is growing number of
vehicles on the road, we are exposed to noise pollution every day.
The water of
rivers and seas is being constantly polluted all over the world by various
dangerous chemical and biological wastes. Mills and factories discharge very
harmful waste waters into many rivers and sea. The water of the Buriganga
lowing by the side of Dhaka is extremely polluted and contains all sorts of
dangerous bacteria.
Reckless
application of chemical fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides pollutes the
soil. Vegetables and fruits are quite injurious today, because they contain the
poison of insecticides and pesticides.
We must work together
to reduce pollution so that the future generations can live in a healthy,
unpolluted environment. As the saying goes, precaution is better than cure. Let’s
hands on hands together by recycle and conserve the world for the better
future.

Education

Women can never see her children go uneducated. She will be most insistent upon sending her children to school be it even at the cost of her hobbies, interests or even stomach. This is because she appreciates the importance of education. So with an educated mother, we ‘can safely assume that we have most effective motivator for the spread of education. The so-called’ Filtration theory' fits very well into it. If we teach a woman, she acts as a filter to spread education among many others.

Woman
belongs to a weaker section of the society because she suffers from many
handicaps due to rigid, outdated social customs and religious practices. But an
educated woman cannot be exploited easily. She is aware of her rights and will
go any length to defend them. Having
experienced problems herself, she understands the difficulties faced by other
women. She is therefore more sympathetic to their cause. Also, with the armor
of education around her, she acts as a way a ‘motivator and a leader of the
movements to remove social malaise from the society. She can share very
intimate relationship with other women and therefore, promote them to voice
their grievances. She then acts as a carrier of their aspirations and lets the
people in power know it. Having studied history and politics herself, she
understands the power of unity. So she can act as the force to unify the
unprivileged section of the society and’ then force leaders to accede to its
demands. Of course, she acts as a grand role model for other women to follow. Not
only in Bangladesh, but ‘even in the developed countries like US and UK, the
right of vote was obtained by the women only when they themselves waged a
struggle’ under the leadership of those who were fortunate enough to get
educated.
Going back again to her role as a mother, she
is solely responsible for the health and well being of the family. She knows
the importance of cleanliness and well balanced nutritious diet. So she
produces children who are healthy and also conscious of their civic duties. She
acts as a very good civic teacher. All the campaigns for following traffic
rules, fighting diseases, hygiene etc. Will be a waste if the woman of the
family is uneducated and they will be not only very effective but sometimes
even unnecessary if the woman of the family is educated.
All
the discussion above goes on to prove that female education is very important.
In fact, it should be the thrust area for our literacy drive. Man may get
himself educated for purely economic reasons and being the sole bread earner in
most of the cases, he doesn't pay so much attention or is inspired as much for
his children's education as his educated wife would be. So by teaching women,
we are in fact creating a torch bearer of change, a harbinger of literacy.
