So So Society

Learning and understanding policies and laws living in a diverse country, we need to accept our policies, which are always in the making. Eventually, they will be for our benefit. This story of truckers and their law reminds everyone of making rules – involving the people it affects from the start. The road to change isn't just about the destination; it's about how you get there. Let's discuss this recent law in India, especially for truck drivers. Ensuring truckers had better working conditions was supposed to be a good thing. But man, did it hit a rough patch! The idea was to set up rules about working hours, rest breaks, and safety for drivers who practically live on the road. Sounds good, right? Well, it turns out not everyone thought so. So, what happened? The problem was more about how they introduced it than the law itself. It's like they forgot to explain why this law was needed in the first place. Imagine someone telling you to change your whole routine without...

We all talk about how we are born and brought up in our lives. It seems like a small thing but the way we are grown up matters a lot in our social build-up. Today, I want to talk about something that matters in our lives a lot 'Our social conditioning'. We will be talking about how we used to be conditioned in our parents' generations and probably how we are conditioned compared to the fact that kids nowadays are conditioned. First and foremost I would want to talk about the basic treatment of kids. In our times, when we were young, we were treated to be strong and we were left to do and learn small things on our own like climbing stairs, playing outside, sometimes getting dirty and our demands were not always fulfilled whereas nowadays kids are pampered.  I guess we all have heard this term and we have used it for kids who are always kept in a bubble. A soft protected bubble that has kept them in a cozy vibe that never bothered their living style. These pampered kids are n...

Do you ever feel that something is wrong with you? Do you think that people are suppressing you or your lifestyle? Do you feel victimized? BUT, Are you victimized?  Are you suppressed? OR is it just in your head? Today, I will touch on the most sensitive nerve of people out there. This blog might make you offended but we have to talk about it. We have to talk about how people put themselves in the position of a victim.  We all have done this in life. Being a victim or feeling like a victim in situations is normal just like every other thing but only till it is not a habit. Once you get used to feeling victimized, you will start feeling that everything is wrong.  What exactly this victim culture is? Once you start blaming others for your situation and develop a sense of entitlement. A culture of blame-shifting, excuse-making, and self-pity.  Do these terms feel familiar!!! You might have heard them around you or might have seen people with such traits.  Victimhoo...

Think for a moment in your life when you did something just for the sake of society and social group…  Think for that moment that you know what you did is wrong and will harm you…  In the previous blog, we learned about how peer pressure can be dangerous for any individual. In this blog, we're going to talk about one of the most common things that every one of us faces which is social pressure.  According to psychology, social pressure is the influence exerted by a group or society on an individual or another group to comply with particular norms or behavior. This pressure can be overt or covert. We all are affected by social pressure. Maybe in school or college, in our society, or in our daily discussions, we are experiencing societal pressure at different levels in our lives. But how can we explain the Societal Pressure? How does this affect the mental state of a Person? How simply can these social pressures ruin any individual's life?  We all have such moments in ...
