Adapting Troublesome Habits

 Adaptations are adapted in two ways, inspirationally and as a form of habits. Society develops by adaption. Adaption of its habitat and the environmental surroundings are necessary. A human being has instincts already planted in its brain which are attracted to the surroundings for inspiration. There are many things we have been inspired with over centuries of development. The "Birds" are a very clear example of it. There would be no crossing continents in less than a day's span if it weren't for them.
  Habits are a very different story. Like another side of the coin, same but very different. It is related to our adaption to our own human interfered developments in the environment. For example, Trend setting. Drugs like marijuana or smoking cigarettes were used with prescriptions at the early days, but soon they became a trend in the society which was adapted by many and thus became an addictive habit. I'm not saying it does not have a good side to it, but what I see is that it is pessimist. The much bigger problem is that these habits (bad ones) are not foreseen as problems until they become too big to handle. Like Samuel Johnson said “The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken”.
  Adaptations good or bad should be controlled with true intelligence and not by some human emotions interfering in them. As I discussed it in one of my previous posts Click Here To Read It . So will you make adaptations that are based on true intelligence or will you just cripple your ability to choose the right by emotions? It is up to you to have a life in the right path, or just feel free towards things unjust for you, your soul, your body and the whole society altogether.

Social Adaptions: The Good, The Bad

  Our society is the result of change of centuries and millenniums of transforming and adapting to the environment. The only constant thing in the world is change, it is the most basic instinct every human being has in his body and soul. From the day the baby is born, continuous changes happen to the body. The soul too keeps on changing, learning new things each day. The wheel of life never stops for them and they are just cogs to the machinery that is called society.
  The society's development like the Soul and Body never stop. Whichever way the cogs move decides the movement of the whole machine. In right or wrong, it is up to the human beings to decide where to lead their society. Make a morally and ethically applauded statement to the world, or the one which seems shameful and disgusting. There is good but more is the bad. And the root of everything bad is that Humans take the decision for adaption. Whether the decision is wise or not false and destructive decisions based on emotions and feelings are made.
  The problem that eventually started all things bad was listening to the laziness of the body and attraction towards earthly wonders. Each of the "ill-deeds" practised in the society are related to these two evil thoughts. From Drinking alcohol to cheating, each and every thing has some how got a relation with laziness and ill-fated attraction towards earthly desires without the consent of the ethical and moral codes of being socialised, or simply being someone with a brain instead of a nut.
  Drinking, Tobacco, Smoking, Gambling, Drugs (Opium, Heroine, Crystal Meth, Spirits etc) are just a few to name. These things have mostly rotten our brains and fried our systems. The best part is that the person does not understand the FACT!!! The addictions is so mesmerising that it's smog blurs the way ahead and stimulates the brain in thinking that this is the right thing.
  So, the society needs adaption it is it's very nature, deciding your faith and it's faith is up to you. Retaliation from such devious acts is necessary. If not stopped , chances of reversal are very low. The decision is in your hands! want to be a healthy Hunkie or want to be an addicted Junkie?
 Just press the HELP if you seem to be in any trouble

Dubai A Marvel: Abiding It's Law

  Dubai is a city which can be considered the centre of the world. Dubai is where East in literal terms meets the West. Attraction the Western world for tourism and for Eastern countries a place with endless opportunities. Dubai for many years now has been booming it's real estate and tourism industry. Dubai is considered a much more glamorous place in the Gulf states than any other Arab country or any other Emirate of the U.A.E.
  Dubai, although being famous amongst the tourists still holds it's religious, moral, and ethical values. As part of the U.A.E the laws set in all the Emirates of the nation apply to Dubai as well. The laws of Dubai are a mix of Shariah laws as well as Civil and Criminal Laws.
  With abundance of Influence of the West in Dubai the laws and strict judiciary actions for it's obedience is the only thing which can protect it's religious, regional and ethical value. Some of it's laws might sound disturbing for the tourists coming from Non-Muslim states, but the laws of Dubai have been set after stretching as much as possible for the convenience of the tourists.
  Laws like conservative dress codes and no form of drinking unless you are a hotel guest or have an official license for drinking. These types of laws prohibit the tourists, specially Western or European tourists from displaying immodesty. Other than that the local Emaritis should not be offended by the actions of the foreigners. Actions of immodesty and religious offending can lead to prison and heavy fines.
  The set of balance created by the laws of Dubai are to make the Emirate a convenient and a comfortable place for the Muslims as well as the Non-Muslims. The laws if obeyed are a good mix for both the religious groups. The obedience of the laws is necessary to any one who visits any foreign place. Dubai is just an example. Obedience of it's laws shows respect for it's religion, for it's culture and it's society. It is necessary for anyone who visits any where in the world to follow the code of the place. As it is commonly said "When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do".
(The reason for writing this blog is that a few days ago I, while surfing the net found some disturbing comments about the laws practised in Dubai)

Steubenville rape case: Social Media's Influence

  Steubenville, a city named after Fort Steuben in the state of Ohio. The city is nick named as "The City of Mural" as it has more than 25 downtown Murals. Steubenville, the small city of approximately 20,000 residents has become famous since the events of August 2011.
  Steubenville is a place where High school Football Players are treated as idols. The Football Players act as if no rules apply to them. Due to such an attitude, an event which made International headlines happened in Steubenville. Mays 17, and Richmond 16 the two Steubenville high school footballers were tried and convicted in the Juvenile court. The victim of the Steubenville rape case was a 16 year old girl. The victim was penetrated by fingers and was toyed the whole night by the rapists. Under Ohio's law penetration with fingers is considered rape.
  The 16 year old victim was substantially impaired not only by the attack of the Players of Steubenville's team "Big Red", but the second attack was laid down by the Social Media. Earlier in one of my posts I discussed about the one big problem of Social Media, click here to view. It has both negative and positive effects. The Social Media influenced the event in both the ways. After the event lucid text messages and cell pictures and even a 12 minute video mocking the victim was released on the Social Media. The already victimised victim was re-victimised by the ricochet. Many tweets, comments and blogs were posted on the case.
  The better influence of Social Media was that it helped in getting justice. The text messages that followed after the event were focused upon and the photos and the video were considered as strong, solid evidence.
  The action of the Football Players of Big Red and their other associates who were involved in the rape and humiliation are a disgrace to the society. No one is prepared to accept them. Questions on their future, on their career and on their life are being raised. Many people are commenting and pledging on not to en roll them or provide them scholarships to play with their home town team.
  Social Media does play both negative and positive parts in shining light upon any sort of behaviour, but what is going to happen years from now? The worst part of this is that whenever someone looks for the Steubenville rape case the victim will be exploited. Her moments of humiliation and victimisation will be re-lived. What then?
