FAMILY: THE ROOT CAUSE OF SOCIAL PROBLEMS
The society of present man`s world is formed by the families in which mother, father and their children live. In some families other family members may also live. This is the smallest unit of our society. Many other relatives; like uncles, aunties, grandfather, grandmother etc. also are connected by strong threads.
Many problems in our society is due to this smallest unit, which we say man`s family. I will try to explain this fact by following points:
1) CORRUPTION
A person has the interest to help his relatives as much as he can, because by the progress of other family members his status in society will also be improved. Others will look him with respect if he has the relatives with good economic status and in powerful posts.
Due to this reason a person, if may do any favor to any his family member he will do it. For example, if he has any important post and there is possibility to do some favor to his family member then he will certainly do it. If he may earn some money by illegal activity and he has no such risk to be captured by legal authority, then he will earn it. By improving his economic status he will be looked by the society with praise.
Due to this reason the corruption in our society has become a non soluble problem.
2) THE ROOT OF BLINDBELIEVES AND MANY ILLUSIONS
As a child grows in the home his brain will slowly and slowly, deeply rooted by many blind believes and illusions prevailing in the environment of his home. At the time of his teenage he will start following all types of blind believes and he will have all types of illusions which were in the environment of home.
Without knowing the truth ,he will start following any so called religion and start believing in a particular form of god; if the environment is of Islam he will believe in Allah ,if it was of Hindu then in Bhagwan and so on.
By this type of believes, he will never search the truth or he will not have any faith in any secret power. Slowly slowly many types of fears, related to his so called religion will also be rooted in his brain. In this way his brain will not grow fully and he will lack the efficiency what he may have by searching himself the truth.
3) CASTISM, RACISM AND RELIGEOUS INTOLERERENCE
When a person grows in a family he will be influenced by the traditions, customs and different types of religious beliefs followed by his dear ones. Slowly, slowly he will also start following those norms and values of the family. When he will observe other types of families following other types of traditions, then naturally, he will think that his family`s traditions and ways of living are better. Other types of customs and traditions will be inferior to him than those which are followed by his family.
The politicians know it and start taking advantage of this type of feelings. They will start provoking a community against other and the community is due to the agglomeration of many similar families. They need any matter to become a politician and so, they will use the differences among communities and communities also will start doing as told by the politicians. This will happen because the politicians will start explaining the peoples of different communities about the benefits which will take place if this or that will be decided.
Due to this, different types of conflicts will emerge and it may create first a distance between two communities and later fights, separation and even war.
The present type of religion by birth (a person becomes a man of that religion in which he has born) should be replaced by the religion of the person which he chooses in his age of maturity. If we do this, then different members of family may follow different religion. Religion is a personal matter. How a person prays God,Allah, Bhagwan or the existential energy of this universe is a personal matter and everyone should have freedom for it. (One may say that, at present also there is this freedom but a person`s brain has been psychologically influenced by the environment of the family and he has been told that his religion is that in which family he has born.)
We already have observed many types of conflicts and even wars due to religious intolerance and there is no need to write more words for this type of conflicts.
Of course a person will belong to the race of his parents but here also the marriage system of present age, in which the partner is searched in the same race by a person, has created an environment of racism. If we start choosing the partner without the prejudice of searching from the same race, then one day this conflict of racism will also be eliminated from the planet earth and the humanity will climb an altitude from where the ocean of love and brotherhood will be viewed by the peoples with the climax of pleasure. The inter-racial marriage is also better scientifically. The future children will be more efficient, strong and beautiful.
4) OTHER PROBLEMS
There are many other problems which are associated with the family, few are following:
A) Tension in teen agers may develop due to the conflicts in between father and mother.
B) The proper progress of youths may not happen if any member of family have any bad habit; for example the drunkard father.
C) Due to the present nature of modern family the parents may not have enough time to care their children.
D) If the parents are uneducated then also the needed guidance may not be provided to their children.
E) If the parents are much wealthy then the children may develop dad habits and may become headache for society.
F) The children may be forced by the parents to do study any particular subject so that their wishes may be fulfilled without caring the children`s interest and efficiency and the child may develop unnecessary mental problems.
By above points, I tried to describe that many problems in our society is due the present composition or the structure of our society. We should change this composition, so that the future society may become more harmonious, in which there may be more peace, brotherhood and humanity may do much progress.The youths of future may be more strong and with more mental efficiency and less mental tensions.
The task is very difficult. It cannot be done by any force. Peoples should be aware about the problems due to the present type of composition of society and they should also know that the changes may be done slowly and slowly.
In the following lines, I will try to explain that how the changes in our modern society may be done for a super quality of new society.
WAYS TO FUTURE SOCIETY:
After the age of 3 years a child should be admitted by the parents in the big family. The big families should be established in society by the government and by private sector as the schools are done at present.
Different levels of big families for different ages of children may be formed. As at present are schools of primary, middle, higher secondary and universities are taking care of education of different ages of children; in the same way we may establish different levels of big families. Of course the responsibilities will be much greater. These big families will be responsible for all types of care for children.
They will provide better food, better cloths, better health care, better education etc In short the big families will be producing efficient and healthy citizens.
No any identity of the child should be kept in these big families to recognize the parents of the child. All are the citizens of the society and all parents should think all children as their own.
After coming out from the big family, a child already will be a youth and will be searching any suitable job for himself.
The parents will declare and advertise the jobs for the youths in their company or private business or on farm etc. what they may provide. The government will also advertise jobs for them. What I mean to write here that there will be all jobs for them as now and in addition there will be jobs on farms, in small shops, etc. Whatever a mature man was doing will be the job for new citizen.
The youths should also be produced to work in different big families. The trained youths will take care of the children of different age groups in different levels of big families and also in big families of retired persons.
All the persons should be retired at the appropriate age and will go to the big families established for retired persons.
So, there will be two types of big families; one type for children and another for retired persons.
Money to run big families:
All the grown up persons have to pay taxes to run the big families to the government or they will pay the money for the privately run any big family, if they will want to send their children in privately run big family or if they want to go in any privately run big family for adults after their retirements. Those privately run beg families will do their job as the insurance companies run at present.
Those persons will not have to pay taxes to government for big family who want to associate themselves with private big families.
The parents of a child will have necessary documents provided by the private big family or government owned big family to admit their child or to themselves in the particular big family.In future, therefore there will be three types of persons in the society-
Three types of persons in the future society-
1) Persons who live in big families for their growth and education - these are children and boys and girls of less than 30 years of age before going into any business.
2) Persons doing different activities freely before retirement - these are the persons engaged in different activities in society as at present different
persons are engaged.
After the education all boys and girls will get their businesses by different advertisements offered by the persons going to retire and also by the government. Many new types of jobs also will be created in future.
There will be all types of jobs: for example, those who were in their private businesses, like,a shop-keeper, will hand over his shop to new fellow by advertisement before retirement and going to the big house meant for him to live his rest of life. Before retirement he will run his shop freely and enjoy the profit by his engagement in shop.
Likewise a farmer will get benefit by producing crops from his farm, use his profit freely and then will handover his farm to new comer and then will go to big family of retired persons.
Likewise, there will be all types of persons.There may be a fisherman, a carpenter, a worshiper of a temple, a man doing the work of shoe repairing, a cleaner in a small shop, an owner of a big departmental shop, an owner of a big factory,etc.
The main important point is that, a person will get a business after coming out from a big family meant for education and learning, then he will perform his duty there with a profit. He will accept his duty there and will enjoy the profit by his work till his age of retirement and then ,he will handover the responsibility to any new comer and will go to live in a big house of retired persons.
A person may do much improvement in a particular field of work, may earn much profit and then he will handover it to a new comer by selecting through an advertisement an appropriate person.
Many types of job holders may not be able to advertise it before retirement and ,so, this may be done by local authority, for example in a village a person may be doing the work in a shop and when he will be leaving the job and going to big family ,then the Village Development Committee may hand over his job to an appropriate person.
3) Persons after retirement living in big family meant for retired persons. There will be many types of big families for retired persons; having many facilities of 5 star standard to with very few facilities. It will depend upon the money one has paid for it. These big families of retired persons may be also meant for couples of old husband and wife, few may be for single ones.
