Paragraph on Social Values

Social values refer to customs, beliefs, social practices and norms, behaviourial patterns and attitude of a particular social community. Social values
shape the life of a person to a great extent. In the past people were very much strict about maintaining social values. Honesty, sincerity, truthfulness,
sympathy, fellow feeling, respect for others were considered to be social values. "Honesty is the best policy" was the motto of the day. The dishonest
criminals were seen in great hatred. But today, because of scientific and technological development, people are getting acquainted with other cultures.
They are being educated—all these have lasting influence on their ideas, beliefs and tradition. Nowadays young generations do not respect the elders,
people have no fellow-feelings, and they are getting involved in criminal, anti-social activities and addiction to drug. These are the signs of people's loss
of the sense of morality which has resulted from social degradation. If it continues, worse days are ahead of us. So, to avoid such an unpleasant situation
we all should be careful to preserve our social values. We can do this by raising awareness in people, inculcating the habit of doing good deeds,
maintaining moral principles, detesting vices and corrupt practices.

Paragraph on Basic human rights

Basic human rights include social rights, civil rights, cultural rights, economic rights, religious rights, political rights and so on. Social rights include the
rights to demand no interference in private life, family life or exchange of letters. Political rights include the rights to vote, to take part in the election etc.
Civil rights include the rights to marry and have a family, to have equal rights in govt. jobs etc. Cultural rights include the rights to take part in social,
cultural activities, to wear dresses according to choice etc. Religious rights include the rights to participate in the religious occasions, to set up mosques,
temples etc. Economic rights include the rights to form and join trade unions, to run business concerns etc. Our constitution also provides a man right to
food, cloth, shelter, medical treatment, education, employment, freedom of speech. To protect children is one of the greatest human rights. The elderly
people have some rights to enjoy in their old age. In fact, in a society a man preserves some rights to live in peace and comfort and these are called basic
human rights.

Natural Hazards/ Natural Calamities

Bangladesh is called a land of natural calamities. Fires, droughts, earth quakes, violent storm, flood, river erosion are the most common natural
calamities. Every year cyclone destroys our lives and properties, floods take away all things to the river and sea, earthquakes destroy our lives and
homes. Cold winter, mist storm impedes our normal works of everyday life and sometimes destroy man. This is not all; nature is also losing its balance
for ever increasing heat created from carbon dioxide. So, greenhouse effect is swelling the normal level of sea water. After any natural disaster, people
who become shelter less have to depend on the relief and charity of other people. Actually, we become miserable in any calamities. We cannot resist

Leisure/Pastimes
Leisure means the time when one is free from one’s routine work. It is spare time. It is the time meant to be enjoyed or spent in rest or recreation. Leisure
time gives relief from long hours of work and labour. It offers opportunity to fill oneself with renewed energy to start again the task of life. There is a
famous saying that all work and no play make Jack a dull boy. This highlights the fact that play is as important as work. Leisure activates and refreshes
us to start our work with all the more vigour and energy. It provides respite from the hectic schedule of daily routine. Leisure time is the golden time to
be utilized in one’s spiritual and intellectual development. One can groom one’s personality by properly utilizing the leisure time. We should use this
time with definite plan. Idle use of leisure time is abuse of time. We should use our leisure time to satisfy our inner demands. Reading holy books,
adventurous books or scriptures enriches our knowledge of culture, tradition and spirituality. It broadens our outlook. Leisure time can also be utilized to
pursue some social or creative activity. It makes us cultured and elevated. A man, who understands the importance of time, spends his leisure time in

Globalization
Globalization is a process of interaction and integration where people, businesses, and governments of different countries come into increasing contact
with one another. It is the growing interdependence of the world’s societies. This process is driven technology, international trade, and investment, and it
has its impact on the environment, culture, economic development, political systems, and the general well-being of humans. Today, it has become a
buzzword with mostly positive connotations such as the increase in the exchange of knowledge, trade, and capital around the globe that are driven by
technological innovations such as shipping containers and more recently the internet. Globalization is considered to enrich the world both culturally and
scientifically as well as benefit most people economically. But, in the name of help and co-operation, the industrially developed capitalist countries are
exploiting the poorer countries in many respects. They are superimposing globalization on the poorly educated and poorly trained labour force with poor
system of developing countries. Besides, under the influence of globalization, global cultures are steadily getting integrated with local cultures. It is
feared that globalization will affect our culture adversely by exposing it to foreign and by intruding many foreign customs and beliefs in our culture. But,
to make our world a better living place we must ensure solidarity, peace and justice all over the world. Globalization is a good concept which can bring
happiness to every nation only when it can ensure equity everywhere.

Unfair Means in the Examination

To lead a civilized life, everybody needs proper education. Unfair means in the examination is a barrier to proper education. But, it is a great regret that
many students adopt unfair means in the examination. Education in student life indicates a gradual development which makes one capable of facing the
coming challenges of one's life. But, copying creates a non-skilled manpower and brings about corruption. Students adopt unfair means for various
reasons. In some cases, our educational curriculum is yet based on memorization and students do not try for creativity. They try to memorize. When they
fail to do that, they start copying in the examination. Many teachers spend more time to private tuition than to teach in classes. Besides, guardians are not
careful about the proper schooling of their children. But, there is a ray of hope that the authorities have recently taken some measures to prevent unfair
means from the examination. Nowadays curriculum is revised and it is made practical and creative. Teachers are being trained. Moreover, for adopting
unfair means, there is punishment now. So, definitely the effect of these preventive measures is good. We can hope for a better educated nation now.
