Nature, air, water,
land and all other things around us in which we live are called environment.
Any unexpected and abnormal change in chemical, physical and biological
characteristics in environment is called the environmental pollution. Now our
environment is getting polluted every moment in many ways. In major cities and
towns motor vehicles, mills and factories are creating fume and smoke and they
pollute air. Man makes fires to cook food, to make bricks, to melt tar for road
construction and to do many other things. Fires create smoke and pollute the
air. Railway engines and powerhouses create smoke by burning coal and oil and
this smoke pollutes the air. Water, another vital element of the environment
like air, is also polluted in many ways. Man pollutes water by throwing waste
into it. Chemicals, fertilisers and insecticides get mixed with water in
rivers, canals and ponds, and thus pollute water. Mills and factories also
throw their poisonous chemicals and waste products into rivers, canals and seas
and water is polluted. Moreover, water vehicles, unsafe drains and unsanitary
latrines are also responsible for water pollution. These days many rivers and
lakes are getting filthy. Forests and trees are being cut down on a large
scale. So, the ecosystem of the environment is now in great danger. The noise
of motor vehicles, mills and factories, aeroplanes, domestic appliances,
radios, cassette players, CDs, televisions etc pollutes sound and this polluted
sound affects our hearing. The government must take effective steps to prevent
the pollution. People of all classes should come forward to control this
environmental pollution because it is necessary for our own existence.
Satellite TV Channels: A source of cultural interaction
Satellite TV is one
of the greatest achievements of modern science. Now it is regarded as the
medium of information, entertainment, telecast, education and many others. It
can telecast any live programme from the remotest part of the world. Satellite
TV can display many programmes at a time. With the help of satellite, world has
turned into a global village. Now we can watch Australian, British or American
TV programmes sitting before our own TV set. Satellite TV has added a new
dimension in our oriented life providing many programmes through different
channels. It‘s not only a good medium of recreation but also a source
educational knowledge. Different channels telecast various educative dramas,
movies, sports, cultural functions, news and articles. So we can easily collect
educative information of agriculture, science and technology, politics,
education, business, invention etc. Satellite TV helps us widespread the sight
and outlook of the society. Coming to contact with the western societies, we
are getting the opportunities to enrich our society and ourselves. But on the
other hand, many people especially young generations are getting hampered and
we all are now forgetting our own customs, traditions, music and culture. Very
often obscene pictures and vulgar movies and programmes are shown in various
satellite channels. Young generations are becoming more and more addicted to
them. Moreover, most of us want to follow the dress-pattern, hairstyle,
behaviour, music and nudity of the westerns. This mentality is leading our
young generations to moral degradation. So, we all should be conscious of that.
