Influence Of Western Civilization On Bangladeshi Society

Civilization means an advanced and organized state of human social development. It exposes a society or a country. its culture and its way of life during a particular period of time. Basically, a country or a nation is known by its civilization. The influence of western civilization is the most talked topic. Western culture is intruding into our culture in a very alarming way. This intrusion of Western culture has both good and bad effect on our society. Western civilization has introduced us with the people, society, education history and culture of the whole western world. It helps us to make a comparative study between western civilization and ours and to judge the standard of our culture. It also helps to enrich our civilization by accepting the good things of western civilization. 

Western  Civilization

The disadvantages of western civilization for the society of Bangladesh is very alarming. It has already created bad effect on our youngsters. The young people are trying to imitate western gross and vulgar culture forgetting our own culture. If this continues, our won culture and tradition will be abolished soon. As this is the age of globalization, we will not be able to discard western civilization. Rather we should try to imitate what is good in western civilization and give up what bad.

The Harmful Effect Of The Use And Production Of Polybags

The use and production of polybags do a great deal of harm to our environment and drain gage system, air, water and soil. In our country, thousands of pieces of polythene's are being used everyday. This huge amount of polythene is neither being re- used nor being decomposed by natural way. Most of the bags are just thrown out after its first use. They find their way into the drains. Then the polybags block our drainage system, barricade regular flow of water, obstruct the rainwater flowing into the drains etc. As a result low- lying areas in the cities frequently go under water. Flood occurs every now and then. Whenever, these polybags go inside the cultivable land, it loses fertility and crops do not grow in such lands. 

Remove polybags

Polybags remain unchanged like a curtain through which nothing can pass. So the land can not be irrigated. Polybags are burnt to get rid of its direct effect but some emitting from polyfire pollutes our air in a massive way. Such pollution is very harmful for human health. Because of huge use of polythene our traditional jute and cloth bags have lost their market. They are now out of use. Jute and cloth bags can be used several times whereas polybags are used only once. So polybags are waste of money. So government should ban the use and production of polybags making law.

Slums In Every City Of Bangladesh

Slum dwellers are rootless people. Actually they are rootless and they have to take shelter in slums under different circumstances. They live there in an inhuman condition. They are deprived of all kinds of human rights. About 80% of the slum dwellers suffer from hunger, malnutrition and different kinds of diseases. As a result, many of them die a premature death and the others light with death. They live in a society of lawlessness and violence. They are made to involve in different anti social activities like hijacking, smuggling, stealing, drug use, child trafficking etc. 

Slums In Every City

Besides, they are exploited by so called political leaders for organizing hartals, picketing, damaging vehicles and destroying public properties. The government and non government welfare organizations should come forward to rehabilitate them. Only then we can hope that they will get rid of this dark life and will have a new life back.

We should keep or make our dwelling house neat and clean for prevention of this disease.

Earthquake Of Bangladesh

Bangladesh is a land of natural calamity. People here survive fighting against the natural disasters like flood, cyclone, drought etc. Recently people have become very much concerned about a calamity and that is earthquake. Earthquake means the terrible shake of the earth. It leaves a vast trail of devastation and brings untold sufferings. The after effects of an earthquake can not be described in words. The whole air of the affected area is filled with the heart rending cries of the people who get narrowly escaped for their dear and near ones. No rescue work is possible as there is destructive fall out all around. The sufferings of the people beggar description. Only vast trail of devastation is seen. Houses and buildings are collapsed. People become shelter less. They have to starve. The most pathetic scene is that there are many dead bodies under the piles of havoc. They decompose and stink foul smell. IT vitiates the whole surroundings. The volunteers are seen pulling out the decomposed bodies out of the broken buildings and bricks. Really it is a pathetic scene. It is too impossible for a man of flesh and blood IT is too impossible for a an of flesh and blood to describe the scene. Today the people of Bangladesh specially the educated people are very much aware of earthquake. The people living in the multi storeyed building are also are also aware of earthquakes because they have come to know that most of the building in Bangladesh are not built according to earthquake resistant building code. 

To reduce the loss the following precautions as safety measures against earthquake can be taken.

(i) An earthquake resistant building code should be made which should be followed as mandatory. (ii) The RAJUK should be very much strict in giving plans for the construction of multi-storeyed buildings. (iii) Experts should mark the fault lines.

Sound Pollution Of Bangladesh

Today sound pollution is one of the talked topics of the day. It has reached an unbearable level. The unnecessary use of powerful vehicular horns is the main. Source of sound pollution in the City. Besides, faulty vehicles, construction sites, loud speaker and thousands of workshops let out loud noises round the clock. In the city, millions of people especially children are exposed to sound pollution. This sound pollution will damage children are exposed to sound pollution. This sound pollution will damage children power of hearing. 

Sound pollution is so much harmful that it can cause a wide range of malfunctions in the human body including heart attack, high- blood pressure, chronic depression, respiratory disorders etc. We should take necessary measures to control sound pollution. By developing public awareness and careful town planning sound pollution can be controlled. Strict law should be enforced regarding sound pollution. Use of hydraulic horns should be banned strictly.

Water Pollution Of Bangladesh

Water, an important element of the human environment, is essential for human and plant life. It is next to air. Water can be polluted in many ways. Farmers use chemical fertilizers and insecticide in their fields to grow more food. The rain and floods wash away some of the chemicals. They get mixed with river water, canal water and pond water. Mills and factories pollute water by throwing the waste materials and unsold products into the rivers and canals. Steamers, motor launches and even sail boats can pollute water by throwing oil, food waste and human waste into the rivers and canals. Unsanitary latrines in the countryside standing on the bands of the rivers and canals cause water pollution. Clean water is safe for use and polluted water is harmful for man. 
As Like

Water Pollution

 Water pollution can be prevented in many ways. First of all we should make the people aware of the fact that water is next to air. It is called life. So chemical fertilizer and pesticide should not be allowed to mix with river water, canal water and pond water. Mills and factories should not throw the waste materials and unsold should not throw oil, food waste and human waste into the rivers and canals. Unsanitary latrines in the countryside should not be built on the bands of the rivers and canals. In fire awareness should be created in the public.

Deforestation Of Bangladesh

Deforestation means cutting down trees in large number. The causes of deforestation are many. Bangladesh is the most densely populated country in the world. Its population is much more in proportion to its area. This huge number of population needs more shelter, agricultural land, fuel, furniture etc. For all these reasons people cut trees. Moreover there are some dishonest people who cut trees in our forests to make money. They effects of deforestation are too many to describe. This destruction disturbs our ecological balance. The existence of animals are going to be threatened. Due to deforestation carbon dioxide is increasing worldwide. As a result, the world is becoming warmer. The sea level is rising and many parts of the world is going to be engulfed by the sea in recent future. On the other hand, new areas of the world are turning into deserts as a result of deforestation. The removal of trees causes birds and other animals living on them to leave the place. It also causes serious damage to the soil, as trees give protection to soil as well. In the end, the soil gets sediment in the river bed and causes frequent floods. So, if we destroy trees at random. 

One day the country will turn in a great desert. All living animals and birds will not find any food or shelter to live in. They will be destroyed. There will be no rain and as a result our agriculture will face a great crisis. The temperature will rise and it will cause green house effect. The country will be unsuitable for living and various natural calamities like flood, drought, storm etc. will visit our country. Tree plantation program should be extended throughout the country.

Acid Rain Of Bangladesh

Acid rain is a such kind of rain which contains harmful chemicals. But in severely polluted areas, rain can be as acidic as the acids of lemon juice or vinegar. This rain, which is very acidic, can cause damage to trees, lakes, wild life, building and human health. Acid rain also damages to human health. Breathing in chemicals can harm people. It causes chest illness. When acid rain causes the release of chemicals and metals into drinking water, it polluted the water. That is how acid rain affects drinking water. Fading of the colors of the glass is a common result of the acid rain. It is very defected for human body. All of these approaches probably have a role to play, but all have some disadvantages which will form a research agenda for the next few years.

Origin of Acid Rain

In the last thirty years some 1000 years old stained glass windows have been damaged by acid rain. The damage of Big Building indicates that acid pollution is occurring in the developing world.

Waste Of Management Of Bangladesh

Waste of rubbish is what we throw away everyday. It includes everything from unwanted old cars to cigarette packets. As the amount of waste is growing rapidly all over the world and polluting the environment, the time has come to think about it very seriously. We cannot altogether get rid of our waste, but  a proper management of it can certainly reduce it. If we think of burning, burying, recycling and thus reducing our waste. We can save our environment to a large extent. We can use some waste as fuel. We can use vegetable waste to make compost to improve our soil.

In many countries it is now quite normal to collect old bottle and cans and recycle them. More and more companies should come forward to promote greater recycling and changes in consumption patterns to reduce the amount of rubbish and help people. So we should do the right thing at the right moment because timely action brings for us great success and saves us from a lot of troubles. Moreover, we know prevention is better than cure. So it is high time to take proper steps and necessary measure to raise awareness about the problem of waste management.
