are ready to accept a job with less pay then their foreign counter parts.
Due to which they will gain more profits.
  As India is a developing country, the Job opportunities in India are more.
 India has large number of graduates and postgraduates in each and every
field such as science and technology, IT sector arts, etc.
   As the graduates and postgraduates in India are ready to expose
themselves to the world of competition, they are ready to work for less
pay. The main reason for that is, the people want experience and exposure
to different environment where the chance of learning several things is
more.
  Money matters less for people who have the capacity to prove
themselves. The foreign companies in the present that's openings their
branches in India because they knew that Indians are hardworking and
they have the zeal to accept and work  for the upliftment of their country 

Should the public sector be privatized?

Privatization of public sector. Lot depends of which sector we are talking

about. Let me clarify few doubts in the primary stage. Can we expect all private
hospitals in our cities in our town which do not have an entry for poor people,
can we have only private sector telephone companies, can we have private
companies have complete control on oil reserves, can we have all transport be
provided by private sector and RTC vanishes, can we expect an private sector to
take care of our defense. In the same way we cant expect the government to set
up an IT industry on its own, we cant expect them to handle all the load of flight
transport. My point over here is both are not mutually exclusive. We need to
accept the fact that both are here to stay and we cannot make it without one.
They do have their importance and we need to deal this issue according to the
context.

There are some strategic sectors, which need to be under control of Indian
government like oil/gas sector. The subsidy we enjoy will be never provided by
a private sector. The government in this case helps its citizens to a great extent
and making them available to its citizens. The ration card system is a great boon
to the poor. Coming to some sectors like steel and mobile where both are
present and a healthy competition among them always benefits the customers. It
is also a point to be noted that Government itself cannot take the complete load
just like it cant take the load of all flight customers where private sector is
playing its helping role. Then there is education sector, which also has good
competition with CBSE matching with any education system of either state
syllabus or the schools coming up with their own syllabus. The public transport
sector too is a mix of public and private and here you can see a striking
difference. You can easily differentiate the profit motive of private personal
whose salaries depend on the profit to their owner. In autos you can see some 6-
8 people are dumped then starts the engine. I do accept that some services are
best in private sector as they fear their job loss and their owners do get the best
out of them by making them to work more no.

Effect Of Western Culture On Indian Youth

I Strongly believe that there is a substantial influence of western culture

on Indian youths. Mere mention of the word 'India' signifies a place of cultural
heritage as well as diversity. But the cultural legacy that we are showing to the
whole world is becoming a thing of history in metropolitan cities.

            On one side we enjoy our so-called rich culture and really admire it but
on the other side we find discotheques full of young guys and girls. Secondly,
Joint family tradition; one of the biggest assets of India is now vanishing under
the shadow of the so-called western culture. Nuclear families are taking place of
many years' old values. Youth of today is more interested in their privacy rather
than enjoying their lives with others. Individualization has broken up the joint
family system, paving way for the youth to fall prey to drug addiction. This
stage is the most vulnerable period of life where the youth need guidance,
counseling, education and care by parents.

             So how did we get part of their culture over here, you ask, their culture
has become over popularized here, through electronic  media that everyone
wants to be just like them. Because of that India has lost her identity from all
other countries. We’ve now become a copy – cat  to all other nations and we
may lose our individuality. The reason is because, we want another image, we
don’t want to be the olden – day - traditional country, which still hasn’t become
the so - called ‘modern’, even in the 21st century. We don’t want to look like
imposters to all other well – developed countries. If you have ever thought of
that, erase that thought because the image we’ve got planted in our minds is
terribly wrong. India is not an imposter to other nations, it never has been, but
will if the people of today continue to do everything they see on cable  TV.

             India is an independent country now and has been for a while, with no
such problems. The reason behind that is because our ancestors fought for us, so
that we could have a future in our own way, not with any other way, which we
are not used to. I’m not saying that India should stop everything they’ve learnt
from western countries, but to have some individuality from other nations and
to set an example to the other 3rd world countries and give out the message that
there are other nations to set an example on.

        So, for the people who fought for us, for India to keep her dignity and to be
a leader to other countries, we the people of today must be our own country and
not be some other country, which we’re not. Everyone is his or her own
countryman - why can’t we be our own as well?

Foreign Television Channels are destroying our Culture.

Foreign Television channels are destroying our culture            In my

opinion as the coin has too sides ... this topic is also having both advantages and
disadvantages.            Coming to advantages some of the foreign channels like
BBC, Discovery, National Geography, Animal Planet, BSNC, Star sports,
Ten sports... are very much useful to us to update our knowledge. And the
technology used by these channels is excellent.              But coming to the
disadvantages of course there are some channels, which destroys our Indian
culture.              All it depends on our mind set. If we use those channels in right
way they will be useful to us. If we use in wrong way it creates bad impact on
our culture

Yes, I believe all in all the foreign TV are destroying our culture. We

have a rich and diverse culture. But, western culture doesn't have such values
and social esteem. They have a totally different mindset as they leave the child
once his 10-12 yr old. They are spoiling the values and social fabric of India.

I feel that foreign channels are destroying our culture to a certain

extend.            But I feel Indians are people who are much on a positive side. If
only the right aspect of the channel that is right content is perceived then it
won’t do much harm. To be very practical ban on foreign channels is absurd,
but a controlled telecast can be done.            As Indian audiences are usually
family, I feel that those programs that suit a family could be telecasted.            
Various channels of educational importance like discovery and national
geographic are worth watching by Indians.            I would like to raise a
question whether Indian channels are promoting Indian culture.             I think
at first a proper rule should be made for the controlled telecast of visual media
whether it is Indian channel or foreign

How green was my valley. Are we paying the price of nature?

Yes, I believe we are paying the price of nature. When man is so

ruthlessly plundering nature's resources than he has to pay the price for it! The
price for it is the greenhouse effect, global warming, etc. and the various
respiratory and other diseases caused by air, water and land pollution. We are
no longer the physically strong bodies of the yester years. Even today when we
ask our elders they boastfully say of their manhood and how they used to be so
strong and daring!!! The present man is more inclined towards a plastic life with
new resources and greater comforts by greedily extracting the world of its fauna
and flora!!!

Yes, we are paying the price of nature. With ever increasing deforestation
& industrialization we are moving the world towards a dead end ...Though our
scientists are working on reversing the affects of Global Warming & depletion
of Ozone layer. If they are not successful by the D-day ...we will be definitely
extinct from this Universe...

India is a developing country and to build its industries we need to have

land and we go for deforestation and destruction of land resources. True and
Accepted. But, how can we justify the duties related to this. Why can't we plant
the trees that are cut somewhere else? Why don’t we compensate the
deforestation? Who has given us the right to change the balance of mother
Earth? Who would be responsible for the change in climatic conditions? Do
the industries take care of environmental pollution once they are constructed?
Indeed they do add fuel to the fire.

Most of the barren land can be changed to a lively green place with little care
and concern. Every tree cut should be accompanied with plantation of one or
two trees. Development and forest cover are not mutually exclusive and they
can co-exist together. We can have self-sufficient forests by taking
precautionary measures. Many animals and birds are getting extinct within no
time and if this trend continues. The extinction of man can be delayed but will
be inevitable. Man is clever and has to care of nature, which has been taking
care of us since the formation of earth. Earth is the only place in the whole
universe to have life. It is in our hands that we can prevent its extinction
otherwise in future may be some people from other stars find earth and could
comment "there was life on earth some time back, we just missed them". It is
not a far future when we say to our grandchildren that "there is a village with
greenery in some state and we can visit it in this summer". I urge you all that if
we don’t take necessary action it will be too late.

VALENTIN E'S DAY!! Advantages & Disadvantages along with your opinion

Well as manohari said love is part of life. Many people express their love
on this day, but I always feel that there neednt be a specific day to express love
since when ever our heart feels like expressing u can express of course time n
situation do matter. But still

         Since it’s a part of life u neednt have to take seriously jus enjoy the
moment /...else be sincerely stick/try it again may be their views might be
changed and they might also accept it. Right.

THEIR IS NO REASONS WHY ONE SHOULD NOT CELEBRATE

THIS DAY, ACCORDING TO MANY PEOPLES LIKE SHIV SENA,
BAJRANG DAL PARTY THAT VALENTINE DAY IS DESTROYING
OUR CULTURE, BUT THEY MUST KNOW OUR CULTURE IS NOT SO
WEAK THAT IT CAN BE DESTROYED BY ACCEPTING WESTERN DAY
CELEBRATION, THEY ARE AGAINST LOVE, THEY DID WANT TO SEE
A LOVE COUPLE ON THIS DAY, BUT THEY R FORGETTING THAT
EVEN THE AADIWASI (TRIBAL PEOPLE) EVEN THEY HAVE A DAY
ON WHICH GIRL & BOY SELECT EACH OTHER, AND THEIR PARENTS
AGREES TO THEIR FEELING,THEY ALSO SUPPORT LOVE,SO WHY
CANT WE.

Globalization - Advantages & Disadvantages

The Era of Globalization" is fast becoming the preferred term for

describing the current times. Just as the Depression, the Cold War Era, the
Space Age, and the Roaring 20's are used to describe particular periods of
history; globalization describes the political, economic, and cultural atmosphere
of today.

               People around the globe are more connected to each other than ever
before. Information and money flow more quickly than ever. Goods and
services produced in one part of the world are increasingly available in all parts
of the world. International travel is more frequent. International communication
is commonplace. This phenomenon has been titled "globalization." These are
major advantages of globalization

        While some people think of globalization as primarily a synonym for
global business, it is much more than that. The same forces that allow
businesses to operate as if national borders did not exist also allow social
activists, labor organizers, journalists, academics, and many others to work on a
global stage.

            There is a fundamental problem with globalization, which will cause

international tension and trade disputes without arresting the process.
             The problem is the irrational nature of the global market, coupled with
the extreme vulnerability of the poorest and most marginalized in emerging
economies to sudden changes in exchange, interest rates, or big investment
decisions.  Globalization therefore can sometimes be destabilizing.

            Everyone sells when the price is already rock-bottom You can have a
bizarre situation where everyone privately thinks that the currency is already too
low, but continues to sell hard only because they are certain that everyone else
thinks the currency still has further to fall. Rates fall through the floor in a mass
wave of panic selling, as dealers dump currency in the near certain knowledge
that they can buy it back at a profit in a few minutes, hours or days.

            Well it has got tremendous benefits as well as its own pitfalls
