BROWSING AFFECTS AN INDIVIDUAL’S PRODUCTIVITY:

 Browsing is an extremely casual word for the process of visual assimilation, followed by it’s application in our daily lives. I personally believe in the numbers and therefore, here I present to you, some statistics related to browsing that should matter to all of us as educated individuals.

Before that, anything that we see and go through while using our Internet counts to be a browsed content on our part. 

Browsing can be done on Internet browsers like Chrome, Opera Mini, Firefox etc along with the social media applications that we tend to use a lot these days, namely- Instagram, Facebook etc.

  1. Instagram has over 1 billion monthly active users.

  2. 500 Million are daily users.

  3. 75% are aged 35 & below.

  4. Instagram users spend an average of 53 minutes on browsing everyday & so on. 

  5. Facebook has 2.6 billion monthly active users.

  6. An average user spends 58 minutes daily on Facebook.

  7. 300 Million people view Facebook stories everyday and so on.

Do we realize how much productivity could be achieved during this time while we were probably browsing uselessly (85%of all the times)?

I think digitization has proved to be such a latent ban on our organic selves that we fail to recognize and differentiate between the right and the wrong. Advancement with technologies and keeping pace with the world is another frontier justification for the lack of wisdom that we carry with ourselves all the time; justifying our browsing statistics.

An individual’s productivity depends on so many factors like health, mental status, social well-being and soon but with the ongoing corruption of our sense organs with the accelerating usage of digitization and the urge to be more “modern” is silently killing our fundamentals. Name any of your five most important sense organs that are not used while you sit in front of your screen and continue to scroll down till the time you’re all caught up with updates from everyone’s lives.

In my opinion, it’s high time we instill a sense of realization in ourselves and introspect ourselves about each & every step that we take while browsing or while making even a single click.

    True. Just casual browsing is wastage of time. We should make our time productive

    Well put together and I agree the problem lies in the people who abuse the system to waste time. These platforms can be invaluable if used right. The key, as always, is use not abuse.

India adolescents need proper sexual education and reproductive health awareness

  Sex education can be defined as a keen understanding of lifelong sexual health including contraceptive methods, HIV/AIDS prevention programs, and family planning in adults. In India, sex education is still considered taboo and stigma are attached to it. Today adolescents comprise of total 18% of the world population and India has the largest adolescent population out of all countries. This makes it important to teach them about sexual health and make them aware of different aspects of it. The sexual and reproductive health needs of adolescents in India are currently overlooked or are not understood by the Indian healthcare system. And if some schools sex education is taught then, sexual health is not openly discussed due to cultural and social norms. This sort of incomplete information leads to misjudgments making them less likely to adopt healthy sex practices and attitudes. Sex education is also important for having a healthy lifestyle, emotional connection, and communication i...

The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, in it's landmark judgment of Shayara bano v. Union of India pronounced on August 22, 2017, has set aside the practice of Talaq-e-Bidat or "Triple Talaq" with the majority Ratio of 3:2, through a Constitutional bench comprising of Judges, all from different religions ie. Justice Kurian Joseph, a catholic, Justice UU Lalit, a Hindu and Justice RF Nariman, a Parsi, Chief Justice Khehar, a Sikh and Justice Abdul Nazeer, a Muslim. Justice Kurian Joseph, who was a part of the majority bench, clearly stated that he finds the practise of Triple talaq very integral to the religious domination in question and that the same is definitely not a part of their personal law. Many of them accented to the fact that the practise of Triple talaq is very arbitrary in a sense that a marital tie anno broken whimsically by a muslim man without any attempt of reconciliation or trying to save it along with being inconsiderate towards the petty condition of ...

DEATH PENALTY- JUSTIFIED OR NOT.

 After seven years of committing the most reprehensible of crimes, when the alleged rapists of Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder case were hanged after three months of delayed judgement, a very famous question of whether capital punishment awarded to perpetrators for committing crimes against women is justified or not, rose. Many scholarly articles started flooding the internet, a vast set of people supporting the law took to one side of the story while the others advocating the rights administered to a human being by the very supreme court, took to another. It is not very unlikely of people to take sides and form opinions of their own when an issue like this brings to the light of the day. Still, in cases like these, wherein the scenario itself is lacking the humanity as mentioned earlier in question, the decision making power should be vested with an institution experienced enough with the systematic process of bringing justice to home, aka, in this situation, The Hon'ble Supreme Cou...
