Decadence of morals

Now, society is no longer what it once was. Children now shout vulgarities at their caregivers, hate their parents for not buying them a toy, and rich tycoons dump their aged parents in the nursing home. Whose fault? This is a topic without a clear answer, but I think it is partly because of the parents.
Parents now lead busy hectic lives where they work their heads off to earn money. Their little vulnerable and young kid is left to the hands of the family maid. This is a wrong decision. Firstly, maids usually just let the kid watch cartoons and the young one is not taught to be selective. Sometimes, shows have swear words and show wrong values(infidelity, betrayal). As it is commonly acknowledged,parents are the child"s first teachers. By entrusting the child to the maid, and by letting the child watch TV, the goggle box becomes his teacher. This is the beginning of waywardness.

Secondly, when a child is young, it is the best time to impart values in him, because it is too late when the child has had a wrong set of values in him. He will not change easily.

Thirdly, parents should give more than the ability to buy things-money. It imparts materialism into him. Parents should instead give their time and their love so that he will be nurtured in thde right way and will not go astray. Maybe this illustration says it all.

A man brought his elderly father and his son out one day. He drove to the nursing home and there, he put his aged father. When they left, his son said, "Daddy, thank you for teaching me a valuable lesson. When you grow old next time, I know where to put you."

We must be clear of goals

"Vision without action is Daydream,
Action without vision is Nightmare"

-Japanese proverb

Goals in life-are they really important? Can we go through life without planning ahead? Yes, we can. But if you fail to plan you plan to fail. Doing so makes your life more meaningless. As we so often hear, 'we have just one life'. How do you plan to spend it? Are you going to make the most out of it? I must admit sometimes I have big dreams but they just stay as mere thoughts. On the other hand, I sometimes rush through life only to find nothing good had come of it. Thus the quotation. As much as this may sound naggy and cliche, you have to set yourself targets and stick to them. It takes hard work, sacrifice and suffering to get there, but throughout the process you might learn things you would otherwise never learn. And, if you get there, you are a satisfied champion.

Topic of the day- TV is essential to life

Many say that television destroys your quality of life-it takes away your bonding time, exercise time,time to do the essential things in life. However, TV has its own credits and benefits, some of which may otherwise be unobtainable. Like, do you know what Japan is like? Have you seen the great forces of nature(e.g. earthquakes, typhoons) in motion? Did you experience them yourselves, or was it through watching television?

Television is a platform with great potential and possibilities. Yes, many have tapped on it and results don't lie. Now, even a child who may haven't left his hometown before may know about deserts, the rainforests and different kinds of flora and fauna because of watching TV. Though there are just as many or more equally bad shows(e.g. violence,promoting bad morals and embracing the decadence of morals),we shouldn't just ignore it. Everything we do has an element of danger to it. But, if we exercise caution, prudence and selectiveness, TV can reap many benefits.
