VIOLENT AGAINST WOMEN


          Violent to a women is a serious case for our society now days. It happens around the world. Among women aged between 15 and 44, acts of violence cause more death and disability than cancer, malaria, traffic accidents and war combined.  The worst part is mostly some of the violent happen to the young girls.  In the United States, 83 per cent of girls aged 12 to 16 experienced some form of sexual harassment in public schools.
         Around the world at least one woman in every three has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Violence against women is compounded by discrimination on the grounds of race, ethnicity, sexual identity, social status, class, and age. Such multiple forms of discrimination further restrict women's choices, increase their vulnerability to violence and make it even harder for women to obtain justice
         Every year, violence in the home and the community devastates the lives of millions of women. We live in societies where rape victims are doubted and blamed, where street harassment is still treated as a compliment, where women's bodies are sleazily ogled or cruelly judged, and where gender norms for both men and women remain uncomfortably restricting. Recent research from Bangladesh found that 98% of men said that to be a man you need to be "tough", while 81% of those who had admitted rape said they were motivated by sexual entitlement.
        The rape and death of a Delhi woman in December reverberated globally in a way such atrocities really never had before. Just two months later, a high-level commission had reviewed India's rape legislation along with 80,000 public testimonies, and the president had signed a new law.
        We will never live in a violence-free world, though that is a worthy goal. Efforts to achieve it, at the very least, put us further along the path of progress. We have increased opportunities to shine the spotlight on violence, examining its twisted roots in a new light and consider the ways in which each one of us is implicated. That is certainly something to pay attention to.

WHICH IS BETTER MODERN MEDICINE OR TRADITIONAL MEDICINE

            Do you ever feel confuse which medicine you prefer between modern or traditional? Some of old family members that have been living longer than us think traditional medicine is better because there is no side effects and you could get it cheaper than modern medicine. But have you ever thought that traditional medicine is clean enough for our body? or do you think traditional medicine could heal the serious disease such as cancer in this era?
            This case has been pushed to the whole society. They have started to concern that health is important. Traditional medicine relies on beliefs, without any support, and theories based on assumptions.  There are no written facts about traditional medicine. It came up from mouth to mouth. The worst part is There are victims caused by use the traditional medicine is not according to the rules. On the other hand, modern medicine relies on science and the scientific process, in which treatments are based on facts, and are tested rigorously.
            In my opinion, modern medicine is better than the traditional medicine. The fact that modern medicine has great impact on curing diseases that were deadly in the past which traditional medicine can not cure yet. But still, despite the fact that modern medicine could heal deadly disease this all depends on everyone's belief. The debate between modern and traditional medicine will continue to enter our households. There is no correct answer to this debate. It is normal to want to feel safe, healthy, and informed.
