Questions to ponder

Thought Pieces

1. Role Models and Youth

Youth are increasingly idolizing film stars and cricket stars for the glitz and glamour in their world. Do you think celebrities like Yo Yo Honey Singh and Sunny Leone are good role models? Are the youth idolizing and following their mannerisms and probably also their footsteps?

2. Reality Shows vs. Reality

Reality shows are taking us away from reality. They focus more on drama, verbal abuse, and physical abuse than reality. What are your thoughts on shows like Splitsvilla, Roadies, and Khatron Ke Khiladi? Do you think they are pushing the acceptable limits in society?

3. Nuclear Families and Rebellious Children

With the increase of nuclear families, children are becoming more rebellious. Depending on grandparents and aunts for vacations and summer camps has reduced, as the internet occupies most of their time. In this case, can we really visualize a humanitarian society?

4. Changing Social Norms

In a globalized world and a fast-developing country like India, same-sex marriages, living-in relationships, and sex before marriage are still taboos. With India being the second most populous country in the world, do you think it's time to discard old school values, or is it a form of preserving culture?

5. Modern Parents and Burden on Children

Are modern parents overburdening their children with expectations, or are they just preparing their kids for the competitive world? Where 92% is a shame for the family, is education their children's ranks, marks, and seats the only pride for parents?

6. Self-defense and Value Education in Schools

Should self-defense be made compulsory in all schools and colleges for both boys and girls and be credited in the curriculum? Also, should value education be made compulsory to promote sensitivity in students?

7. The Debate on Sex Education

The ongoing debate on sex education in schools and colleges is a raging topic. Do you think it is essential, or is it just going to deviate students from studies, etc.?

8. Indian Temples and Sculptures

What are your thoughts on the sculptures on Indian temples? Do you think they disregard Indian culture and chastity, or do they promote heritage? Should sculptures depicting homosexuality, bestiality, etc., be erased or restricted for children under 18?
