Drawbacks of communication devices  

Although modern technology has brought a lot of happiness and make the planet earth as the global village. Through the modern development, peoples can be connected to all over the world with just one click and can transfer the information.

If we count the benefits in comparison to the drawbacks of modern communication devices we can find that it is impacting the society in the harsher manner. The new generation is spending more times on internet rather on physical activity and enjoying time with family. It’s been observed that during the family gathering like dining out, picnic and many other family activity peoples don’t talk to each other rather using mobile phones or tables.

This is creating the communication gap between parents and the children even with the friends. Peoples seem to prefer message and commenting on someone’s status rather enjoying the current moment. We can not only blame the children’s but also to parents who also seen doing more often the same activities like calling the office college, checking emails or sending WhatsApp messages and not giving time to their family.

Parents are the Cog in the machine of the family system they don’t understand the hitches of not giving time to family, they sometimes are present physically but are not mentally present and not listening to the children and in the reaction, they welt left alone and sometimes feel distressed.

This is creating the bad impact on the children’s brain and as an escape, they tend to find some other resources to talk and to express their feeling.

These small things which are ignored by most elders are creating the communication gap and a result children’s search and make friends on Facebook, Instagram and other mediums with the peoples whom they didn’t know and don’t know their intentions which sometimes lead to the very agonizing condition. These activities can lead to some criminal activity involving their children like child abduction, child pornography and many more. These causes result in children leaving their home and often lead to drug addiction and also to suicide.

It’s my humble request to parents to please give a necessary time to their family.

 One last tip of advice.

“When the family is going for a dinner all of the family members must keep all the mobiles in the car so they can enjoy the quality time and laughter can be exchanged”. 

The Hurricane VAT..

The Implementation of VAT Is a big alarm for the middle Class in UAE. Especially the middle class will feel the pinch. Increasing in the cost of everyday life supplies is expected to compel the people to think for other options of living because the main reason to live in this part of the world is to feed Nest Egg, but after the VAT it will not be possible. To elaborate I can say that a vast amount of people started planning to shift their families back to home especially families having school going children. The major increase in transportation cost, stationary cost, and extracurricular activity will be moving far away from reach of the middle class who is not making a mint. The average monthly expenditure like electricity bills internet connection will also be creating the Burdensome for the average salaried person.

Whereas business class will not that much be affected by the VAT, the reason behind that they will be charging this excess amount from the customer and most of the merchandisers have already increased their prices and after VAT it will be coin it in.  

     At the Verge of Disaster...         

I am living in UAE but unfortunately today I saw the news about the protest of teachers in Karachi for their legitimate rights.

It reminded me the famous quote of Aristotle who once said: “Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, that art of living well.”

I felt ashamed and embarrassed while watching the authorities treating them treated like cattle’s. Our nation is going towards dead and at the point of no return. Teachers are the building block of the nation and they create the generation who move the country forward they are the gift of God towards nation who up bring the little tiny minds to the concrete decision makers if we treat them like slaves you can imagine where we will land and what they will teach. Teachers must be deal like the pride of the nation irrespective of the class they are teaching whatever the school they belong whatever the subject they teach. It reminded me one very historical event happened in the public court of Germany once a person was brought in the issue of parking his car at the wrong place. The judge asked the person why you parked at the wrong place? .The person replied “ I am a teacher and I was getting late for my class and didn’t get the right paring so by mistake I parked the car at the wrong place” After listening the statement the Judge announced “ ladies and gentlemen we have a teacher in the court and all folks stand up” the judge further said “ We are sorry for the incontinence caused to you because of no parking” after saying this he dismiss the case and ordered that “local government will pay the fine on his behalf.

This is the reason why developed countries are respectable that’s the reason why they are far ahead of us that’s why they called us 3rd-world country because we don’t give respect to the deserved ones. 

To sum up my feelings I want to say that those nations who sold shoes in the beautifully decorated racks and sell books on the floor their future are dark and disastrous.
