Existential Lit Final Paper Essay

Part I 1. In Thomas Nagels The Absurd (1971), he begins by addressing the ensample disceptations for declaring vivification to be ill-considered. The starting line arguwork forcet he points out is the bringing c drop off together that nonhing va permit doing in the present will theme in the distant future, or as Nagel verbalises, in a trillion years (Nagel 716). People believe that what they do now wont matter at both in a million years, and that they be moreover singleness per countersign living in the now that will soon be g iodin and will and so not matter and sell int matter. Humans see this not mattering as a causa why disembodied spirit is nonsensical, since if no matter matters then the point of spirit is questioned.The punt standard argument Nagel looks at is the creative thinker that military man be tiny specks in the infinite vastness of the universe (Nagel 717). This mood focuses around space and time, and how individual humans creations o nly live for an extremely short amount of time in a tremendously vast universe. People see this as a reason why life is absurd, looking for at their lives as much(prenominal) short increments of time, especi altogethery on the large scale of the universe. Since universe be so gauzy and take up such little time with their lives, this is seen as a reason life is absurd.The third argument Nagel looks at is somewhat not universe able to on the noseifying all of lifes activities, since humans could die at any moment and will planetually. People go through with(predicate) sequences in life, one thing leading to the next, to accomplish something each step of the way, and in that respectfore it is justified. However, eventually, life must end, and the chain of sequences will be cut off in the midst of one of the activities, and therefore will end without exculpation. All of it is an elaborate journey leading to nowhere (Nagel 717). These be the three standard arguments for ex plaining why life is absurd that Nagel discusses.Nagel, however, disagrees with these arguments and recalls each invalid for specific reasons. When looking at the idea that nothing humans do now will matter in a million years, Nagel objects this with the actualization that it doesnt matter now whether or not what we do now in a million years will matter or not. Whether what humans do now will matter in a million years or not is not important, because either way it wouldnt change how people feel now.If their mattering now is not enough to accomplish that, how would it help if they mattered a million years from now? (Nagel 716). If now doesnt matter in the future, than the future must not matter now, and therefore this explanation of why life is absurd is invalid. The second idea, focusing on life world absurd because of how small and short lived humans lives ar, is contradicted by Nagels idea that if humans were big presents in the universe theyre lives would still be just as ab surd and that if humans lived for longer, or forever, there lives would just be absurd for that much longer, or even infinitely absurd.This thought of humans as living for such a short amount of time and being so tiny in the universe is clearly not what makes life absurd, even if life is absurd. These items, if anything, would make humans lives more absurd, if they were large presents in the universe or lived forever then the absurd would be even larger or last for eternity. Therefore, this is not a valid argument in saying that life is absurd.Looking at the third argument, which focuses on death preventing the justification of human lives and its many sequences, Nagel shows that this idea is really false as life does not consist of these sequences that all view as purposes and continuous justification. Chains of justification strike repeatedly to an end within life, and whether the process as a whole abide be justified has no bearing on the finality of these end-points (Nagel 717). more things we do in our daily lives are already reasonable and do not need further justification, such as victorious aspirin for a headache, Nagel points out.However, even if someone wanted to further justify any of lifes activities, this further justification would similarly have to end somewhere, as all things must. If nothing can justify unless it is justified in terms of something outside itself, which is in addition justified, then an infinite regress results, and no chain of justification can be complete (Nagel 717). All reasoning must end at some point and must be accepted as it is instead of looking at it as incomplete, because if it is looked at as incomplete then reasoning is insurmountable.With Nagels profound contradictions to these three arguments, he shows that these are not valid reasons to say that life is absurd. 2. Though Nagel discards the standard arguments for stating that life is absurd, he nonetheless says that life can be seen as absurd, just for different reasons than the previous ones discussed. He states that life is absurd because of the impinge on surrounded by humans tendency to take their lives so seriously and the expertness of humans to doubt these things which they take so seriously or view them as arbitrary.Humans take their lives seriously, as seen through the idea that many things are necessities for living and that humans actions, such as making choices, are very important. However, humans also are capable of seeing things outside of their lives, which then creates doubt about the things that are taken so seriously. This idea that humans cannot live their live without this sincerity, yet can have a point of view outside of their lives that makes this sincerity doubtful, is why life is absurd.It is absurd because we overlook the doubts that we know cannot be settled, continuing to live with nearing undiminished seriousness in spite of them (Nagel 719). There is a hit among what people think is hap in life and what is very happening, and because humans are able to have a point of view outside of their own life, they can see what is truly happening and therefore become doubtful of what they think is happening. However, they save on with what they think is happening, or with this seriousness of life, even with the doubts from seeing what is truly happening.These two viewpoints, one within our own lives and one outside our lives, are both un revokeable yet clash with one another, and this, according to Nagel, is why life is absurd. Nagel states that humans take their lives seriously whether they live in a serious manor or not, and regardless of what their primary concerns in life are. Human life is full of effort, plans, calculation, supremacy and failure we pursue our lives, with varying degrees of sloth and energy (Nagel 719).Humans can reflect, make choices, question things, and decide what to peruse and what to avoid and who they want to be or become. This alone is signified, besides when it clashes with humans ability to think outside themselves and stick to this seriousness, it creates absurdity. Yet humans have the special capacity to step back and survey themselves, and the lives to which they are committed, with that detached amazement which comes from watching an ant struggle up a head of sand (Nagel 720).This ability to step back creates these doubts and questions about this seriousness life is taken with, doubts and questions about things that seem so sure before stepping back. Nagel explains We step back to find that the whole system of justification and criticism, which controls our choices and supports our claims to rationality, rests on retort and habits that we never question, that we should not know how to defend without circularity, and to which we shall continue to adhere even after they are called into question (Nagel 720).According to Nagel, life is absurd not because humans are capable of this stepping back and reflecting on the ser iousness of life, but because they then continue with their lives and taking them so serious even after doubts about the seriousness have been identified. 3. Nagel focuses on the idea that humans live absurd lives because of their self-consciousness, and therefore their ability to see themselves as humans and create this clash in the midst of seriousness and reality. With this, it can be said that immortal, all-knowing and self-aware, also lives an absurd life.The mouse Nagel refers to cannot have an absurd life because he is not self-aware, so he does not know he is a mouse and does not have the ability to reflect on this and create doubts about it. God, however, knows he is God and therefore has the ability to step back and have doubts. Being self-aware means that you doubt, and that every justification is doubted. This means that God, self-aware, doubts justifications, just the like humans, and has an absurd life with the clash between these. When Nagel describes how the mouse s life would be if he was self-aware, he says, he would have to return to his meagre yet frantic life, full of doubts that he was ineffective to answer, but also full of purposes that he was unable to abandon (Nagel 725). This sentence is applicable to Gods life being absurd, as God has a life full of doubts without answers due to his self-consciousness, but also has great purposes that he is unable to abandon, since he is the higher power that humans rely on. Also, like humans, God cannot refuse this consciousness, because to refuse it would mean he is aware of it, and it therefore he would already be self-aware.Since God cannot escape this self-consciousness, he is trapped, like humans, in this clash between his self-awareness and the seriousness that is taken with it and the doubt that comes with self-awareness where he reflects and doubts all justifications. This makes Gods life absurd, just like humans lives, as he too experiences the clash between self and reality. 4. Nagel s tresses that absurdity is one of the most significant things that makes humans humans, and that it is essentially incurable. With this idea in mind, it can be seen that religious belief cannot cure the feeling of absurdity, and unearthly people live absurd lives just as all humans do.Humans lives are absurd because they have life goals and strive for things, which is the aspect of taking life seriously, but they also can step back and reflect on things and this causes doubts, which happens regardless of religion. What makes doubt inescapable with regard to the limited aims of individual life also makes it inescapable with regard to any larger purpose that encourages the sense that life is pithful (Nagel 721). Believing in something larger does not allow escaping to occur, as it can be doubted in the same way that individual life can be.People use a higher being for comfort and to march on their lives meaning and justification, however, as pointed out before, justifications end a nd humans no longer look any further. Moreover, phantasmal people still have the humanistic qualities that all humans do that eventually lead to verbalism and doubt. Another way of portraying religious peoples life as absurd just as nonreligious lives is to look at the idea of being self-conscious leading to absurdity and that this is a natural part of being human.The only way to avoid the relevant self-consciousness would be either never to attain it or to forget itneither of which can be achieved by the will (Nagel 725). Religion does not change this unavoidable self-consciousness, and therefore life it still absurd with religion. The idea of religion is to provide meaning to life, however, if all humans are prone to this essential doubt, than this meaning will be doubted in the same way that life without meaning is doubted, or may even be doubted even more and therefore this creates a more significant contradiction, and may mean that religion makes life even more absurd.The ga p between seriousness and reality is even larger in a life with religion because life is taken more serious, as there is this idea of more meaning, but still has the contradiction with reflection and doubt, hence a life with religion abets absurdity. Nagels main focus about religion is that it does not cure the feelings of absurdity because, regardless of being religious or not, humans cannot avoid this inevitable doubt of their seriousness, and therefore creating this clash which makes life absurd. There does not appear to be any conceivable humanity (containing us) about which unsettlable doubts could not arise (Nagel 722).Nagels idea about veneer this absurdity is, rather than believing in something higher that prepares life a certain meaning that does nothing but encourage absurdity, view life as ironic. He says to approach our absurd lives with irony instead of heroism or hopelessness (Nagel 727). Heroism, as seen in religion, means to value life too much, whereas despair, seen in the depressed or suicidal, means to not value life enough or at all. However, to look at the absurdity of life with irony allows humans to live this contradicting life, aware of this contradiction, but continue to live it without denial, torment, or resentment.In Samuel Becketts Waiting for Godot (1953), this concept of absurdity seen from continuing seriousness even after doubting it is portrayed. Vladimir and estragon have chosen enslavement to an authoritative figure, Godot, and though they have yet to see Godot or even get confirmation that he will eventually come, they still continue to wait for him. This is the same idea that religion brings to humans, as they can live their lives without signs from God or true meaning from religion, yet they still believe because it gives them a sense of purpose.However, this creates absurdity because, for religious people, they also doubt all of this purpose and meaning they are hold for, and for Vladimir and Estragon, they doubt Go dot will ever come. Towards the end of the play, it is clear that Vladimir has doubt about Godot and has a realization that he has been waiting for a long time and will continue to wait, possibly for eternity. He has this realization and doubt about his seriousness for waiting, yet continues to wait. This clash is what makes Vladimir and Estragons lives absurd, and is the same clash that is seen in religious lives as well.5. According to Nagel, atheistic existentialists, such as Sartre and Camus, dwell on and blame the fact that God doesnt exist as the reason life is absurd. They believe that without God, our lives lack the meaning which they demand, and without this meaning our lives are meaningless, and therefore absurd. However, Nagel has already pointed out that this is not why life is absurd and that whether our lives have meaning or not does not change this clash between the seriousness which we take our lives and the reality that causes us to doubt the seriousness that is th e true creator of absurdity.These atheistic existentialists view absurdity of humans lives as a problem, as something that needs a solution or to be fixed. Camus advice on dealing with this problem of absurdity is defiance. Nagel looks at Camus proposal, and says, We can salvage our dignity, he appears to believe, by shaking a fist at the world which is deaf to our please, and continuing to live in spite of it (Nagel 726). This, of course, will not rid our lives of absurdity, as this is not possible as long as we are self-aware and able to reflect, but Camus believes it will give humans at least a more fulfilled life.Nagel disagrees with these ideas, and says that the absurdity of human lives isnt even a problem at all. He falls back on his idea that absurdity is one of the most significant things that makes us human, and humans lives are only absurd because they posses the ability of a kind of insight that other species do not. If a sense of the absurd is a way of perceiving our tr ue authority (even though the situation is not absurd until the perception arises) then what reason can we have to resent or escape it? (Nagel, 727). Nagel says that it is important that humans are aware of this absurdity, yet do not try to avoid it as it is not possible to do such a thing and one will only dwell on this attempt their entire life. Instead, as mentioned before, Nagel suggests the only way going about absurdity is to approach it with irony. It is important to not let this absurdity become torturous, but is also crucial to not allow it to force an avoidance or attempt to surpass the absurdity.The acknowledgment of the clash between seriousness and reality is important in acceptance and living life in between heroism and despair. If humans can look at their absurd lives with irony, the absurdity will be acknowledged, but will not effect their lives as to cause anything actually problematic from happening. Nagel also states that this absurdity is important because it ex poses our human limitations and allows humans to understand these, so there is no reason to try to escape this. Nagels argument helps make sense of these atheistic existentialists works.For example, in Camus The singular (1942), the ending is very clear because Camus didnt believe in the idea of approaching absurdity with irony, so he did not end his book like this, and instead ended it with Maurseult approaching the absurdity with the dramatic feeling that Nagel discourages. Maurseult is unable to find irony in his absurd life, and blames Gods non macrocosm for his unfitness to justify honorables. It is clear that this happens because these are Camus beliefs, and Nagel portrays these as making a problem out of absurdity that shouldnt be a problem at all.Jean-Paul Sartre, also an atheistic existentialist according to Nagel, falls back on the idea that existence proceeds essence, and in that way humans achieve absolute freedom. However, this idea is contradicted by Nagel when he sa ys that humans are born into absurdity and there is no escaping it, as it would have to have been never attained or forgotten, which is impossible to do if its part of humans from the start.Nagels ideas about absurdity, such that it is unavoidable yet not necessarily a problem, contradict these atheistic existentialists ideas, and he ends with he belief that contrary to what these existentialists say, humans must approach their absurd lives with irony, because if nothing matters, than it wouldnt matter to do anything other than this. Part II a. Existentialism Is a Humanism, by Jean-Paul Sartre (1946), focuses on freedom as the bases of morality. Sartre defends existential philosophy as being a moral philosophy by contradicting arguments against this idea with his own thoughts.The root idea that Sartre rejects is that which claims existentialism allows people to dwell in the quietism of despair (Sartre 1). In his argument against this he focuses on the concept that existence procee ds essence, where humans first exist before anything else, such as defining themselves. Man simply is. Not that he is simply what he conceives himself to be, but he is what he wills, and as he conceives himself after already existingas he wills to be after that leap towards existence (Sartre 2). This is what Sartre refers to as the first principle of existentialism.The next idea Sartre argues against is that existentialism is a pessimistic view, however, he says that existentialism actually reflects severe optimism. He gives the example of the way an existentialist looks at a coward and sees him as personally responsible for being a coward, as something he chooses and commits to, which is an optimist way of looking at such a thing. Sartre then looks at the idea of subjectivity, which is argued as a negative aspect of existentialism as it is seen as living a solitude and therefore selfish or egotistical life, and conveys two meanings for subjectivism.One meaning he points out is the freedom of an individual, and the other meaning refers to man unable to further himself beyond human subjectivity. This is a further look at existence proceeding essence, as it shows that humans do not choose being human but they do choose their actions after becoming humans, and by choosing for ones self, one chooses for all humans. This shows, therefore, that existentialists view humans as not individuals whom are selfish, but rather that their actions speak for all humans. The last argument Sartre rejects is that existentialism denies reality and the seriousness of humanity.However, according to Sartre, existentialism is humanist when looking at a fundamental definition of the word. Man is all the time outside of himself it is in projecting and losing himself beyond himself that he makes man to exist and, on the other hand, it is by pursuing transcendent aims that he himself is able to exist (Sartre 13). Existentialists believe that there is no human action that doesnt have an e xplanation, and if an action has an explanation it is human. These ideas portray Sartes position that existentialism is a moral philosophy and that it is a humanism.However, his ideas are not enough to make this statement. He focuses deeply on the idea of freedom and that because humans are free as seen by existentialists, existentialism is a moral philosophy. For existentialism to be completely moral, however, it would have to compliment Sartes idea of freedom with other values, such as charity, kindness, and serving our debt instrument to the world and others, as this is what is truly moral and humanitarian. Complimenting freedom with something else though would take some freedom away and therefore his idea of the moral system being based on freedom is invalid.One example Sartre provides to express this idea of freedom being the basis for existentialism, and the reason it is moral, is about a man facing a moral predicament. He must choose between either staying with his mother, whom has been abandoned by everyone else in her life and only has this one son left, or leaving her, alone and empty, to go join the Free French Forces. He looks at this as a moral dilemma, however, this is not a moral dilemma because both choices are good. A moral dilemma is one where an individual is faced with two options and picks the one which is good and leaves the other which is not good.However, whether this man stay with his mother or goes to fight for a cause, he is choosing between two goods and therefore is not making a moral decision. Sartre also looks at the idea that existentialism leaves you uncertain and that all moral decisions operate with a degree of uncertainty. This, to an extent, is true, and it is not wise to base decisions on certainty of the future. However, there are actions that are possible, and should be, taken based on their consequences. For example, the question of whether one should push another individual off an enormous cliff seems very certain.I t is true that life is uncertain, but there is quite a high chance that that individual, if pushed off the cliff, will fall and die. The immediate and certain consequences seen in life are not mentioned and are ignored in Sartres moral system of existentialism, and therefore is not enough to make this claim. Sartre focuses on this idea that freedom is what makes existentialism a moral philosophy, however, true morality limits freedom, and there is so much more to morality than what Sartre mentions. b.Ivan Ilytch and Meursault both experience an epiphany at the end of their lives, and therefore die as intellectual men. Both men lived selfish lives, unaware of what life truly was about. They both lived under an idea of what they thought was the right way to live, with Ivan attempting to live a usual life, fitting into society, and Meursault living a life in effort to embody the universe. Both of these life styles were structured and allowed the men to just follow guidelines which th ey believed was the right thing to do.However, this was selfish as it led to them ignoring the rest of the world, such as their families and other aspects of true happiness. Meursault went through life seeing it as meaningless and therefore claims he believes in nothing. However, the fact that he in so deeply devoted to this meaningless shows that he believes in this meaninglessness. This becomes clear when Meursault is talking to the priest and realizes that his uncertainty was just as strong as the priests certainty about everything, and when he says that the priest was living like a dead man he realizes that it was really him who was doing such a thing.Meursault comes to terms with the fact the he so deeply believes that nothing matters and life is meaningless, and in doing so he looses his temper and becomes emotional and passionate about something for once in his life. This same insight about realizing that life is not so structured and that it is about existing and having fulf illment is seen in Ivan when, as he is laying on his death bed, he becomes aware that there is no goal in life.He spent his whole life chasing something, but in the end realizes that this is not what life is about, as he already had things in his life that could have given him fulfillment, such as his family. As he looks at his son and is overcome by this realization, he is finally happy. Meursault also was pursing something in life, that of embodying the universe, but he too sees that this is not what life is about. Soon before he dies, he really sees the world for the first time in his life, the smells and sounds that it holds, and is happy. He even thinks about his mother and shows a side, lacking selfishness, that he had never shown before.With this thoughtfulness, as well as recognizing that nothing matters and there is no meaning, he finally gives himself the fulfillment that life is truly about and feels happiness. c. In Samuel Becketts Waiting for Godot (1953), two men wait for an authoritative figure to appear and convey a message, telling them what to do and what to live for. This is a constant part of society, where humans continue waiting and spend their entire lives hoping the universe will tell them something. The play symbolizes this human waiting and longing for something more in many ways throughout it.Estragon cannot take his shoes off, symbolizing that he is stuck on earth and nothing can be done as he cannot escape. Vladimir looks at his hat, as if to find something in it that tells him something or gives some sort of sign, but finds nothing and continues to gaze at the horizon, which holds hope and something more than this life theyre stuck in. However, as trapped and suffering as they are, as they even considered suicide, they do not give up hope. In fact, they decide against suicide because they must wait for Godot to come and see what he offers, and then they will decide what to do from there.Vladimir and Estragon cannot stop their wa nting to live as they want to live for something, so they are hoping that Godot will give them something to live for, even though he already is just from the hope that he might come. They have lost track of time and are unsettled of whether they were here yesterday, as waiting tends to make people lose track of time since it is just what humans do and is inherent in our human condition. In metaphysical time, it is always just now, and waiting is eternal. When two new characters enter the scene, Pozzo and Lucky, the main characters become puzzled.Lucky, who is seemingly not so lucky, carries Pozzos bags for him, but he never puts them down, and he obeys Pozzos every command. Vladimir and Estragon wonder why this is, and why Lucky even puts up with Pozzo. Lucky, however, is not much different from Vladimir and Estragon, as he just seeks authority. He wants this enslavement, where he is told what to do and think and how to live. Vladimir and Estragon have their own symbolic bags that they too refuse to put down, as seen through their choice to continue to wait for Godot, with no one telling them they must wait but it being their own decision to do so and continue to do so.When Vladimir and Estragon find themselves worried that Pozzo wants to get rid of Lucky and leave him behind, it symbolizes that they too are worried of being left behind by Godot. This constant desire for authority is something seen in this play as well as in society, as humans are very frightful of being alone or without someone to tell them what to do or how to live. Though Vladimir and Estragons decision to wait is questionable, it does however give them something to do and comes from a command from authority.As mentioned before, though Godot isnt there, Godot is still ruling over them and gives them the authority that is so desperately sought for. This enslavement to Godot seen in Vladimir and Estragon is actually rather admirable, as it shows their devotion and commitment. The patience se en in their servitude conveys their faith and religious spirit. It brings them hope and a sort of comfort to continue this faith and commitment. When the boy comes the second time to deliver Godots message, Vladimir seems to know that the same thing happened yesterday, and that it will continue to happen, but he still continues to wait.The boy does not tell Vladimir that he will convey his message to Godot and does not give Vladimir his desired recognition that this is real, and Godot has not shown up, yet Vladimir and Estragon still continues to wait and do not lose hope. This idea that they are not just existing as humans but are devoting themselves to this higher authority shows that their existential journey leads beyond existentialism, as they continue to wait by choice but are being controlled by the idea of something more.

Global Warming And Its Many Ramifications Essay

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (U. S. EPA) supports all ordinances involving environmental protection and the abatement of natural resources degradation. These laws fetch to restrict people from abusing the environment and destroying the natural habitats of numerous species. The CATO base in Washington believes that the organisation is not doing enough in terms of environmental protection. The institute emphasizes that g everywherenment intervention needs to exert more effort in pursuing environmental preservation.The goernment is natural in pursuing this goal since this endeavor requires a huge sum of money of monetary and human resources and whitethorn not be achieved by a small number of people only (439-440). With the state continually increasing, natural resources ar quickly dwindling, and with the loss of natural habitat, the flora and fauna also perish. Currently, the g overnment pursues strategies that aim to protect the plants and animals affected by heigh tened human development. Better laws and ordinances need to be passed for the government to effectively hold open the ecosystem.If not, the world risks the possibility of gentleman satisfying only their own needs and satisfaction, with proscribed thinking of the long-term personal effects of development (U. S. EPA) Crucial Environmental Issues The emergence of numerous environmental issues, including the extinction of several plants and animals as vigorous as changes in put up patterns, lay downd the government to implement restrictions on the activities of man affecting the environment. However, despite the efforts on the part of the government, environmental problems still occur. According to the U.S. EPA, fragmented tactics be not expected to be effective in protecting the environment as only the obvious problems are being undertaken, small-arm the complex and less obvious environmental issues still remain. The U. S. EPA believes that it is pregnant for the government to change the wakelesss of environmental policies. More restrictions need to be incorporated whe neer development is envisioned. This is because with the current rate of development, plants and animals are in jeopardy of not continuing to live in their natural habitats.Population explosion depletes the natural resources, which include plants and animals, which humans consume for their survival. In addition, human settlements also destroy the natural habitats of numerous species. Howard M. Singletary, Director of Plant assiduity of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, believes that biological smorgasbord is essential in environmental protection (Evaluate the Social). Conserving biological diversity involves the protection of the entire ecosystem.Humans may see themselves as important or more important than the plants and animals that get destroyed as a result of increased cosmos, but it should be noted that the environmental issues that man is facing at the present time a re due to the absence of preventive planning. The short-run economic and monetary gains concord frequently been treated as more important than the ecosystem. Yet, the destruction of plants and animals as well as their habitat contribute much(prenominal) in orbiculate warming and extreme weather situations. (Evaluate the Social). Humanity needs to see the impact of overdevelopment.People also need to realize that they need to place and sacrifice certain conveniences and luxuries in order to achieve long-term environmental goals. The scientific lodge and several advocacy groups are supporting government efforts to preserve the environment. The global movement is for the greater practiced and is based on the fact the earth and everything in it is not owned by a virtuoso individual, group or corporation. The scale of the human economy is now such that the wilderness areas that sustain much of the worlds stay biological diversity are shrinking fast.The rates of wildlife habitat p utsch and of species extinctions are the fastest they have ever been in recorded history, and they are accelerating. Tropical forests, the worlds richest species habitats, have already been 55 part destroyed, and the current rate exceeds 168,000 square kilometers per year. (Evaluate the Social). Stabilizing creations Stabilizing population is more important in industrial countries than in developing countries, since the former overconsume and hence overpollute and are thereby responsible for the greatest increase in the impact of human activities on the already overtaxed environment.The richest 20 percent of the world consume over 70 percent of the worlds commercial energy. Thirteen countries have already reached a fertility rate required in order to achieve zero population growth, so it is not utopian to expect others to follow. The population growth-rate of developing countries of course must also be cut down dramatically. Their population is now 77 percent of the worlds total , and they are responsible for 90 percent of the worlds annual population growth. (Evaluate the Social).The poor must be helped and testament justifiably demand to reach at least minimally acceptable vitality standards by obtaining access to the remaining natural resource base. When industrial nations switch from input growth to qualitative development, more resources and environmental functions will be available for the poor in the South. Scientists observe that as the planet warms up, a great share of ice and snow near the poles will probably start to melt. That will expose racy tundra and dark seas. That will warm things up same painting a white roof black.The darker the terrain gets, the warmer those part of the world will get. More snow will melt there, making the terrain even hotter. All these explanations hold more than thirty pages of rather small print in the Philosophical Magazines, and every one of the calculations had to be solved by hand. To make a greenhouse fo recast, experts now build what amounts to a working scales fashion model of the Earth inside a supercomputer. They start with a blank globe, divided into a grid like the grid of latitude and longitude.Typically each box in the grid covers several hundred miles on a side. These boxes are stacked from the surface of the planet high into the atmosphere a dozen molds of gargantuan boxes of descent. Public concern over environmental policy was minimal until the end of the nineteenth century. As the fall in States expanded westward, the horizon seemed to present an unlimited supply of land, water, mineral deposits and timber. Farming techniques reflected little concern for minimizing primer coat depletion. Forests were cleared without concern for reforestation or the devastation of soil erosion.Minerals were mined and metals smelted without concern for their effects on fresh-water supplies when contamination did result, it seemed a minor problem, because alternative sources of wate r seemed endless. (Royan, 2001). Despite a history of preservation policies, fundamental concerns over environmental protection were still absent from the policy agenda as late as the 1950s. The publication of Silent Spring in 1962 drew attention to the dangers of pesticides such as DDT, in the nourishment image.The sense of social responsibility that emerged in the 1960s also moved environmental policy from the thorncloth to the forefront of the policy agenda. Energy made it to the headlines once again in the year 2000 a noble power crisis hit the state of California (Royan, 2001). Companies had accomplished once more that the horrors brought about by solemn energy problems over the past three decades had not gone a substance. The California electricity crisis could potentially sports fan out towards other states not only impact would it impact the profitability of a company, but could certainly put some out of business.As the new century fast approaches, the world has slo wly realized the synergy between energy conservation and global economic competitiveness. Energy conservation entails the elimination of wastes by means of the improvement of industrial facilities and processes. Energy conservation also implies environment preservation through pollution prevention, and mitigating the trends toward global warming. international competitiveness goes hand in hand with energy conservation, and many industrial firms from all over the world have realized that.Worldwide energy consumption in recent years has go on to escalate not only in developed countries but also in developing countries, in the beginning as a result of rapid industrialization and improvement in the standard of living. In a recent survey conducted by the Association of Energy Engineers, about 22 percent among those surveyed claimed to have debased accumulated costs by $5 jillion or more by implementing energy conservation strategies (Cornforth, 1992). The potential for additional s avings is still great. Thirty-six percent among those surveyed indicated that farther savings that amount to over 10 percent are possible.Thus, investment in protocols that promote energy conservation has proven to be effective in saving costs by reducing waste materials resulting from industrial processes. As the following century approaches, the economic world has gradually come to realize that energy conservation offers the most useful competitive advantage. Marked improvements in the efficiency of industrial processes or facilities to save fuel consumption reduce wastage. HiTAC has been a significant energy conservation development in recent years, and is now applied to industrial furnaces in many factories worldwide.A positive consequence of saving energy is minimizing greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. Because of the increased efficiency in combustion using HiTAC, nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide-byproducts of incomplete burning, are reduced. Therefore, HiT AC saves on operational costs by making fuel consumption more in effect(p) and consequently, efficient fuel consumption minimizes waste products, among which are greenhouse gases that trigger global warming. (Hotel & Sarofim, 1967). Major Changes Taking speckle in the US Population and Projected Problems Due to the Climate ChangesThe US is said to have the highest population of the developed nations, and one of the highest population growth rates at one percent, equivalent to 2. 5 one million million million new Americans every year (Haub). Three national population trends that have been identified in a recent US census are changes in geographic distribution, changes in ethnic composition, and the effect of in-migration on population (Haub). With regard to the changing geographic distribution of the population, the population is said to be unsteady from the Northeast and Midwest to the South and West, both because of internal migration and immigration from other countries (Haub ).With regard to ethic composition, eyepatch ethnic minorities are said to comprise 25 percent of the population currently, that percentage will increase to 50 percent in 50 years, with Asians rising in numbers from 7. 1 to 40 million by 2050, and Hispanics rising in numbers to 90 million in 2050, constituting 22 percent of the population (Haub). Immigration, on the other hand, presently accounts for a third of the population increase yearly, and is expected to be a major contributor to population growth in the future (Haub).It naturally follows that the South and West will have to nap with the attendant problems of the shifting geographic distribution in its favor, while the change in ethnic composition can be predicted to contribute its own set of problems. Problems Causing the Decline in the Quality of Life in Cities, Possible Solutions It is said that more than a billion urban dwellers, out of a total of three billion, are located in slum areas, with half living in Asia (Whela n).This is indicative of the mammoth problems of governments with regard to the provision for food (Sustainable Development Networking Program), opportunities for employment, environmental degradation, sanitation, and general quality of living in cities. Another problem causing the decline in quality of life is said to be urban sprawl, whose effects range from over-congestion to pollution (Goodwin). In the US, the states that are the destination of internal and external migration and immigration in the ongoing shift in geographic distribution of the population that will have to deal with these issues.Proposed solutions include the revision of federal laws to limit immigration, the creation of boundaries that will redirect urban growth to places where urban services can be provided, and tighter control on allowable density and housing (Goodwin). There are many environmentalists like Senator Hillary who had been bold about her support on the dictatorial Courts Global Warming Decision . She states that the scientific consensus is that global warming poses a serious threat to human activities (Statement of Senator Hillary Clinton on the Supreme Court2007, par 1).She challenges President Bush to address this pressing global environmental threat as soon as possible. Issues on the Ozone In the discussions on the ozone hole, it is but apt to provide a plan explanation on what exactly is the ozone and how it is formed. The ozone, according to the meaning for Atmospheric Science, forms a shape in the stratosphere, thinnest in the tropics (around the equator) and denser towards the poles. More specifically, Ozone is a toxic, strong reactive compound consisting of three oxygen atoms (Francois).As explained by the Centre for Atmospheric Science, the ozone is formed when ultraviolet radioactivity coming from the sun, strikes the stratosphere, dissociating (or splitting) oxygen molecules to atomic oxygenthat quickly combines with further oxygen molecules to form ozone Mo re commonly, the ozone is known as the layer that protects human beings and other living things from the insidious rays of the sun, more specifically, the ultraviolet rays-shielding us from being stricken by skin cancer. This common conception of the ozone layer, which provides a good notion of what ozone is, is just one side of the coin.Scientists refer to this more commonly know ozone as the stratospheric ozone (Centre for Atmospheric Science). On the other side of the coin is the tropospheric or the ground level ozone, which is considered as a major health hazard, is a major constituent of photochemical smog (Centre for Atmospheric Science). It is referred to as a pollutant because of its being lethal if inhaled (Newman). Ozone Facts According to the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the story of the ozone hole has its roots from the chlorofluorocarbons or chlorofluorocarbons, a family of most commonly used industrial compounds.chlorofluorocarbons was invented by Thomas Midgley in 1928 which later on was called as a miracle compound due to its proven useful for mans convenience (NRDC). Since then, it was effectively used in refrigeration systems, air conditioners, aerosols, solvents and in the production of some types of forwarding (Francois). However, decades after the miracle compound was invented and used in many industries and households as effective refrigerants, it was found out that it had caused a serious damage to the environment, more particularly to the ozone layer.It took American scientists Mario Molina and Sherwood Rowland to prove that the miracle compound turned out to be damaging to the environment as they hypothesized in 1974 that CFCs possibly played an active government agency in the depletion of the ozone layer (NRDC). This announcement had sparked heated debates not just among scientists but also among policymakers, environmentalists and industry players on the whys and wherefores of ozone depletion (NRDC).It was explained by Newman that CFCs became harmful to the ozone because of its centiliter make-up and it turned out that CFCs are an excellent way of introducing centilitre into the ozone layer. This happens as the ultraviolet radiation coming from the sun strikes CFCs that go up into the altitude of the ozone layer, this UV radiation breaks down CFCs and frees chlorine (Newman). After chlorine has been freed, this has the potential to destroy large amount of ozone (Newman). Francois also provides association of the thinning of the ozone layer to the introduction of large amount of chlorine in the atmosphere through the use of CFCs.The Centre for Atmospheric Science stated that Evidence that human activities affect the ozone layer has been building up over the last 20 years, ever since scientists first suggested that the release of CFCs into the atmosphere could reduce the amount of ozone over our heads. But prior to the hole being discovered, the negative effects of the CFCs were never taken s eriously by the majority of the people as they were not convinced on the connection between CFCs and the depletion of the ozone layer (NRDC).In 1985, a major discovery had brought great warning signal to the whole world as it was discovered by Joseph Farman and his colleagues that there was a hole in the ozone layer (Newman b). In fact, the severity of the discovered ozone depletion made the English scientist in the Halley Bay station in Antarctica, who discovered the hole, to think that the equipment he used to measure the extent of the hole was broken (NRDC). He sent the equipment back to England to have the equipment repaired but when he tried to measure the depletion again, his initial finding that the ozone layer had been depleted was substantiate (Francois).Another theoretical attempt, which later on was proven to be correct, was the recipe of the ozone loss as summarized by the Centre for Atmospheric Science as follows The frozen winter leads to the formation of the polar vortex which isolates the air deep down it. Cold temperatures form inside the vortex cold enough for the formation of Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs). As the vortex air is isolated, the cold temperatures and the PSCs persist. Once the PSCs form, heterogeneous reactions take place and convert the inactive chlorine and bromine reservoirs to more active forms of chlorine and bromine. No ozone loss occurs until sunlight returns to the air inside the polar vortex and allows the production of active chlorine and initiates the catalytic ozone destruction cycles. Ozone loss is rapid. The ozone hole currently covers a geographic region a little bigger than Antarctica and extends nearly 10km in altitude in the discredit stratosphere. Basically, the preceding enumeration of the recipe of the ozone loss is similar to the Heterogeneous Chemistry Theory that proposed chemical reactions occurring within the ozone layer.This also explains why the hole is over Antarctica and not over the oth er continents. The atmospheric conditions prevailing in Antarctica, which is its having ultra cold temperature, suits the chemical reactions that take place resulting to ozone depletion. Consequences of Depleted Ozone The most common knowledge as to the adverse effects of the depletion of the ozone layer is that it increases the penetration of the ultraviolet radiation resulting to more skin cancer.As Francois puts it, When this tutelary layer is reduced, it has dramatic consequences on life such as slower photosynthesis among plants as increased radiation results to less metabolism destruction of micro-organisms which play a vital role in the food chain and, the increase in cases of skin cancer. Basically, the depletion of the ozone layer can result to an enormous change in the ecologic balance. It is a universal fact, based on the studies and researches that have been made, that a little tip in the bionomic balance could result to a mammoth change in our environment that could a dversely affect the way people live.The slight increase in temperature can cause destructive floods to countries surrounded by oceans. In the case of the increase in the ozone hole, it can results to unfavorable changes in our environment starting from the destruction of micro-organisms and the unbalance that it causes to the metabolism of plants responsible to changes in photosynthesis. These changes may not be visible in the present time, which makes many people complacent and insensitive as to their roles in the protection of the ozone layer, but catastrophic results can be felt in the near future.

Motivational Methods Paper Essay

Every film director in an arrangement moldiness develop the necessary skill of motivation, and apply it to their mental faculty in order to kick the bucket more efficiently. This ability is a key role for each department and it is of utmost importance that it be use in a manner that is both beneficial to the organization and staff as well. Each staff member has a role to play in accomplishing goals and it is the duty of the managers to facilitate and motivate their staff. This paper volition address three motivational methods to motivate staff for upcoming changes for the organization. Motivation thunder mug be specify as Forces within individuals that account for the level, direction, and persistence of effort they expend at work. (Lombardi, Schermerhorn, 2007). Individuals who possess a unanimous work ethic and integrity allow put 110 percent into their business sector, those who do not will do just enough to slide by and stay under the radar. Managers must motivate and exhilarate staff to continue to render that 110 percent while receiving acknowledgment and respect. In other dustup Motivation is getting lot to do what you want them to do because THEY WANT to do it.The challenge is to give them a reason to want to do it because doing it will satisfy a guide they have. You have to line of descent in to their involve, motives and reasons, not yours. (Saleem, 2007). Upon learning that upper management is going to implement changes within the organization a manager is tasked with identifying what makes their staff motivated, what makes them perform at peak levels? What does the staff need? Needs be unfulfilled physiological or psychological desires of an individual. (Lombardi, Schermerhorn, 2007). Each individual will have different needs however it is possible to identify what the team needs by simply asking them. One whitethorn think that by developing a list of needs and instructing each member to put them in order of priority it is possib le to get an accurate picture of whereto start with the team and how to introduce the up-coming changes in a manner that will motivate the team to accept these in a positive and maestro manner. However, A contract, published in 1999 by Kenneth Kovach of George Mason University, compared associates ranking of what they wanted from their jobs with what their bosses thought was important to the associates. The results of the study were nearlywhat surprising.At the top of the associates list was interesting work, followed by appreciation of work, a stamp of cosmos in on things, job security, and good wages. Employers thought good wages, job security, promotion/growth, good workings conditions, and interesting work were most important to their staff. (Bessel, 2012). The key here is to listen to the responses from the staff when asked what is important to them, and thusly we can identify their motivation. One motivation theory is the Two-Factor Theory, developed by Frederick Herzbe rg, (Lombardi, Schermerhorn, 2007), which identified that what really do the 4,000 respondents he questioned, enjoy their jobs were factors which related to the job itself, he labeled this satisfier factors. These are items such as feeling pride and a sense of achievement, recognition, and room for advancement. As it turned out, things relating to the setting of the job were what they enjoyed least round the job, he labeled this hygiene factors. These are items such as work environment and conditions, inter face-to-face relations, policies, graphic symbol of supervision, and salary.These negative factors can be remedied with improving policies to enable staff to feel more satisfied in their environment, such as adding soothing environmental sounds, music, or providing chair message for example can do create a less chaotic work environment and positive hygiene factors. However, in employ this method it is also important to be conscious that the two-factor theory is a complement ary theory, improving the hygiene is also along with improving the satisfier factors as well. Common sense means that one follows with the other, recognition must also come along with environmental motivation. A second motivation theory is Acquired Needs Theory, from David McClelland, which is base on the needs of individuals. He identified three needs first, the need for achievement as a desire to go above and beyond the norm of what is expected. Then second is the need for power, which could include contain over others, or to be able to provide influence and responsibility over them. The third is the need for affiliation whichis a desire to have friendly and warm friendships with others. (Lombardi, Schermerhorn, 2007).These are all needs that people acquire over time of life experiences and a savvy manager will create a work place that is responsive to these needs. The manager must allow these staff members to takes risks and challenges and encourage their ability to work with l ittle supervision. Delegating higher responsibilities to these individuals creates security for the team and enables the manager to respond to other concerns that normally they may not be able to give the proper attention to. The third method of motivation is motive through job design. Utilizing the two previous methods of motivation based on the needs of staff, a manager can then create jobs by assigning the required tasks to those individuals who are appropriate to accomplish job performance and job satisfaction for themselves as well as the organization.To make the prospective changes the organization is anticipating it is inseparable that the managers utilize their skills to tailor job design (Lombardi, Schermerhorn, 2007), to fit the strengths of staff with their own special(prenominal) qualities and needs, this includes four specific areas, one, job simplification identifying work processes and tasks for staff to work in clearly defined and specialized tasks. Managers can utilize lesser skilled staff to perform duties of lesser complexity, allowing others with higher skill levels to focus on areas of greater need. Job rotation allows the manager to create flexibility and understanding of other areas, creating a repair relationship and moral between departments. Job enlargement integrates or combines tasks previously done by take off workers, this is an option that a manager should do with caution because it could have an opposite reaction to the motivation they are trying to create.The final alternative in job design is job enrichment which is essentially delegating some of the responsibilities of the manager to another individual creating a broader scope to their current position and allowing the manager to take on other responsibilities they may have had a hard time giving the appropriate time to. By focusing on these three types of motivational methods I intend to accomplish introducing the staff and motivating them into the future of the organi zation while taking into consideration their needs and skill levels to better serve them and the organization. Through personal experience, being motivated to provide superior service and customer satisfaction in the health tutelageindustry, individuals who are appreciated, recognized, and offered more responsibility will work hard to meet deadlines and provide excellent forbearing care. This is a win-win situation for any health care organization and management team.ReferencesBessel, I. (2012). Understanding Motivation An impressive Tool for Managers.

Their products and services include infrastructure setting, applications and consultancy. Its corporate patronage includes 600 Indian, 250 multinational corporations and over 200 global carriers and owns and operates the worlds largest next generation, IP enabled connectivity infrastructure, comprising over 150,000 kilometres of character optic cable systems in India, Europe, Middle East and the Asia Pacific region. Our project is on gaining market sell in the field of Postpaid Division & Data Services (GPRS & 3G) and the strategic decisions involved in it. The divider that we will be working on is the Direct & DST-Postpaid division. We have Mr. Anil Das (Head-postpaid and 3G services for Rcom Odisha) mentoring us on this project.The initial idea is to explore the scope of this project from various angles and evaluate the decisions taken by RCom to achieve th eir desired market share. We found out that globalisation has made telecommunicationmunication an integral conk out of the infrastructure of the Indian economy. The telecom sector in India has developed as a result of this. The telecom sector experienced a rapid growth over the past decade on grievance of regulatory liberalisation, structural reforms and competition, making telecom one of the major catalysts in Indias growth story. such(prenominal) of this growth can be attributed to the growth in mobile telephony (number of mobile subscribers grew from 10 meg in 2002 to 392 million in 2009) and the growth in the service and IT and ITeS sector. Telecom has emerged as a advert factor for economic and consumer growth. The contribution of the sector to GDP is growing (more than doubled). Telecom is one of the fastest-growing industries in India (on an mean(a) 8 million wireless subscribers are added every month)

Advertising for Advocates

A bar on advertize for Advocates in India chthonian Advocates Act,1961 and shut off Council of India Rules ANALYSED BY MOSES PINTO 5TH YEAR LL. B. (HONS. ) ROLL NO. 512 ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-13 PREFACE subsequently the Second World War the International Economic Order which emerged, encouraged Free Trade in goods & operate. India was a fo chthonian familyatory to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) since 1947, which led to the formation of WTO, on 1stJanuary 1995.This has led to a whole wide line in India over the stringent justnesss organisation code of morality and morality of Legal artal persons on integrity hand and the WTO laws on the early(a) hand. This debate revolves around major issues pertaining to the targetives of levelheaded profession, consumerism, social justice, Indian cargo to WTO regime, ambition law etc. just somewhat professionals argue that the shift in trade nature of court- tell helpers sh all hamper professional ethics and cr eation of justice to all.Some some others say that the ordinations imposed on the intelligent services sector be contrary to the goals and purpose of competition constitution and Competition Act, 2002. At the heart of this controversy lies the issue of good advert. The lawyers in India are barred from advertising their profession considering the profession to be a noble one and much(prenominal) advertising to be derogatory to that profession. Advertisements are a forum for establishing the utility of goods and services. Further, it enhances and encourages competition in the relevant commercialize by providing a forum for launching of new products.To cope up with the WTO laws and norms and flavor at the current trend which has subjected lawful profession to trade laws, it has sire inevitable to dispense with the healthy professionals to state and to rethink about the policy of law in India. People think whether this kind of veto based on age old norms is viable in thi s modern era. The debate of the hour in the Indian legal world is on why the profession should permit very strict curbs on promoting its services stemming from laws that originate from British thinking when the artless from where it originates has itself done away(predicate) with the curbs?In the view of the in a higher place background, I would like to discuss the laws oustningning the advertising for legal professionals in India and their implications, considering the position of such laws in other developed countries owing to the WTO norms.

CHAPTER III The Constitutional inclemency of Rule 36 IV.CHAPTER IV Disadvantages of ejectning Legal Ads * Consumerism and Informed Choice * Advertisement on earnings * early (a) disadvantages * Need for regulating the advertising V. CONCLUSION. I. CHAPTER I The Law on Legal Advertising in India After t resemblingg into account the re quotations of the Law charge on the subject of Reform of Judicial organization relating to the Bar and to legal education and to implement the recommendations of the All India Bar Committee made in 1953, the Indian Legislature came up with the Advocates Act, 1961.This act under the percentage 4 forms a Bar Council of India to fix all the legal professionals and legal education in India. The Bar Council of India is the central institution for supervising and monitoring the ingathering and increment of legal services and the functioning of counselor-at-laws & related firms & corporations in India. Pursuant to the functions of Bar Council of India under section 7 and its power to make rules under section 49 of the tell Act, it has enacted the Bar Council of India Rules which are dorsum on all the legal professionals in India. The law under Bar Council of India Rules There is a finish up ban on advertising for lawyers in India. The Bar Council of India, pursuant to its functions mentioned under Section 7(1)(b)9 of the Advocates Act get hold of with its powers to make rules under Section 49(1)(c)10 has framed Rule 36 of the Bar Council of India Rules under Section IV(Duty to Colleagues) of Chapter II(Standards of workal Conduct and Etiquette) of Part IV(Rules Governing Advocates).Rule 36 reads as under An advocate shall non court school or state, either directly or indirectly, whether by posters, advertizings, touts, personal conversations, interviews not warranted by personal relations, furnishing or inspiring intelligence operationpaper comments or producing his photographs to be published in connection with eccentric persons in which he has been busy or concerned. His sign-board or name-plate should be of a reasonable size.The sign-board or name-plate or stationery should not head t hat he is or has been President or Member of a Bar Council or of some(prenominal) connecter or that he has been associated with both person or organisation or with any exceptional apparent motion or event or that he limitedises in any particular type of work or that he has been a Judge or an Advocate General. and so, it is against an advocates code of ethics to solicit or advertise work and amounts to a mis make out on the part of the advocate. Both direct and indirect advertising is prohibited.An advocate may not advertise his services through circulars, publicizings, touts, personal communication or interviews not warranted by personal relations. Similarly, the following forms of indirect advertising are prohibited A. by egress circulars or election manifestos by a lawyer with his name, profession and address moveed on the manifestos, thereby benevolent to the processs of the profession practising in the lower courts who are in a position to recommend clients to cou nsel practising in the high court B. anvassing for votes by touring in the province or sending out his clerk or agents to the mixed districts, which must necessarily mean directly approaching advocates practising in subordinate courts. Further, the signboard or nameplate displayed by an advocate should be of a reasonable size. It should not refer to details of an affiliated by the advocate i. e. that he is or has been president or member of a bar council or of any association, or he has been a Judge or an Advocate-General, or that he specialises in a particular kind of work, or hat he is or was associated with any person or organisation or with any particular cause or matter. Further advertising on internet is also prohibited. Bar Council of India, in a notice dated 21st October 1999, reaffirmed that such advertisements on the Internet are considered an offence. It ordered all the legal tissuesites to be withdrawn immediately, under threat of legal action ranging from temporary fa ulting to permanent debarring of the lawyer from practice. The to a higher place rule has been vehemently enforced by the Bar Council of India, simply regardless all the criticisms made against this archaic rule.Further, the words of Section IV of Chapter II of Part IV of Bar Council of India Rules are clear i. e. Duty to colleagues. This means that the another reason behind enactment of such a norm is to prevent the advocates, law firms, etc from enticing the clients of their adversary and to snatch away the business of their adversary. Such a law is also made in order to help the small and unbeknownst(predicate) advocates and firms to rise in the market and do business. The purpose behind it is to prevent a set of lawyers from taking unreasonable advantage. overly such a law prevents lawyers from falling below their dignity in order to fetch clients by doing anything and olibanum degrading the nature of the profession. * The Judiciary on this rule The courts have more or less concur with the view of the Bar Council and have implemented the rule laid down by the Council pertaining to advertising. The coercive judicatory of India observed inBar Council of Indiav. M. V. Dhabolkar, that .. the canons of ethics and propriety for the legal profession totally taboo conduct by way of soliciting, advertising, scrambling and other obnoxious practices. It further storied thatLaw is not a trade, not briefs, not merchandise, and so the heaven of commercial competition should not vulgarize the legal profession. The Allahabad blue butterflyobserved that self advertising tends to lower the dignity of this honourable profession and is undoubtedly akin to touting. The Bombay high Court in Government Pleaderv. S, a Pleader considered sending a circular postcard merely giving the address and description as an improper conduct by the Advocate.The High Court of Madras went one step ahead in SK Naickerv. Authorised Officer and held that even a sign board or a name-plate should be of a moderate size. It has been further observed that writing of articles for government issue in newspapers under his signature, where the writer describes himself as an Advocate practicing in the court as a crying(prenominal) br individually of professional etiquette. Thus, legal advertising by far is a taboo in India and the courts have more or less approved and agreed with this rule framed by Bar Council of India.II. CHAPTER IILaw in other Countries Legal advertising has been an important and widely apply tool of communication in many common law countries and in virtually of the developed countries like US, UK, etc. It is employ by the lawyers to promote their professional services. It is allowed in approximately of the countries with regulations regulating it as compared to India where it is arrestly banned. In these countries the regulation is done in order to vitiate false, lead astray & deceptive advertisements but advertisements displaying truth are allow ed. The legal system is often a mystery, and we, its priests, preside over rituals baffling to everyday citizens. Henry Miller * Position in U. K. The provision banning advertisement adopted in India has its roots in Victorian notions of U. K. which considered each and every profession to be noble and utter that such a regulation is necessary in order to preserve the dignity and nobility of this profession. Earlier, in U. K. too advertising was banned for professionals like lawyers. but later this ban was twisted.The Monopolies and Mergers Commission in 1970 and the review given by the Office of Fair trading in 1986 pointed out at the advantages of letting the professionals advertise and the benefits availed by from relaxing such norms. Ultimately the ban was lifted and the restrictions lowered and thus legal trade and legal advertising became a reality in U. K. * Position in U. S. In U. S. the position was somewhat similar to that in India until 1977. There was a collar ban on advertising for legal professionals. This position took a complete U-turn after the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court on 27thJune 1977 in the case of Batesv. State Bar of Arizona. The Supreme Court validated legal advertising and invalidated the law of State Bar of Arizona banning legal advertising by a majority of 54 holding such a law violative of eldest Constitutional Amendment. Prior to this case, the U. S. Supreme Court validated commercial advertisement and gave its scope in the 1942 case of Valentinev. Chrestensen. Later in Bigelow v. Virginia (1975) and inVirginia State Board of Pharmacyv. Virginia Citizens Consumer Council Inc. (1976) the U. S. S. C. nvalidated laws restraining ads marketing abortion services and ads covering prices of prescription drugs on the basis that they violated First Constitutional Amendment i. e. Freedom of Speech and Expression and held thatthe melt flow of commercial information is indispensable. All these decisions were adopted in the B ates judgment by the US SC and it was held that truthful legal advertising should not be prohibited as there is nothing defective in it. The court invalidated in this appeal the law prohibiting legal advertising holding it to be violative of independence of speech and smell guaranteed by the First Constitutional Amendment.Justice Blackmun argued that commercial speech does chastity First Amendment protection given the important functions it serves in society, such as providing consumers with information about services and products, and helping to allocate resources in the American system of free-enterprise. The Court held that allowing attorneys to advertise would not harm the legal profession or the administration of justice, and, in fact, would supply consumers with valuable information about the availability and make up of legal services. But the states are allowed to regulate and monitor the advertising by advocates.This is evident from the later judgments of various state Supreme Courts which have upheld the laws regulating and restricting certain practices of legal advertising. * Position in other countries The position in other developed countries is also quite clear. Advertising is allowed in most of the countries. In France, though the law is not that liberal, it stands somewhere between Indian and U. K. position. There is not a complete ban on advertising. Also in Italy, the legal marketing has been legalized by the Bersani Decree of 2004 which was enforced in 2007.This has been true for most of the European countries like Germany, Spain, etc. Legal Advertising is a reality everywhere. alike countries in the West, Asian countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia have been progressively relaxing their regulations on legal advertising to adapt to global demands. For instance, Malaysias Legal Profession (Publicity) Rules, passed in 2001 is a simple provided comprehensive code that regulates advertisements in legal and non-legal directori es, controls habitualation of journals, magazines, brochures and newsletters by lawyers and interviews in electronic and print edia, bar normality through clients and even includes a rule that regulates lawyers sending greeting cards on special occasions. In Hong Kong, lawyers are forbidden from advertising on television, radio and cinema. Though advertising in print is permissible, larger firms prefer alternative strategies such as engaging in aggressive client and public relations programmes and branding exercises. Even in Singapore the legal advertisements are allowed with certain restrictions.Thus, it is clear that most of the countries have adopted a liberal policy towards legal advertising and has allowed it to meet the global demands and make out with the other countries. This has resulted only in advantages and benefits for those countries and no harm is done on the contrary. III. CHAPTER III The Constitutional boldness of Rule 36 The Rule 36 of Bar Council of India Rul es, prohibit advocates from advertising. This Rule cannot be challenged with regards to A. 19(1)(a) i. e. reedom of speech and expression as done in US in the case ofBatesv. Arizona State Bar, because of the decision of Indian Supreme Court in the case ofHamdard Dawakhanav. Union Of India. The Supreme Court came on to decide cogency of law banning advertisement for the sale of certain medicines in this case against A. 19(1)(a) of Constitution of India. The Court held that An advertisement is no doubt a form of speech but its true character is reflected by the object for the promotion of which it is employed. It assumes the attributes and elements of the activity under Art. 9 (1) which it seeks to aid by demanding it to the notice of the public. When it takes the form of a commercial advertisement which has an element of trade-or commerce it no longer falls within the concept of freedom of speech for the object is not propagation of ideas social political or economic or onward mot ion of literature or human thoughtbut as in the present case the commendation of the efficacy, value and importance in treatment of particular diseases by certain drugs and medicines. In such a case, advertisement is a part of business even though as described by Mr.Munshi its original part, and it was being used for the purpose of furthering the business of the petitioners and had no relationship with what may be called the essential concept of the freedom of speech. It cannot be said that the right to publish and distribute commercial advertisements advertising an individuals personal business is a part of freedom of speech guaranteed by the Constitution. In the view of the above decision, the commercial advertisement is not a part of freedom of speech and expression and thus ban on advertisement for advocates is justified to be falling within reasonable restriction as stated under A. 9(2). The only remedy left is to challenge its constitutional validity against A. 19(1)(g) i. e . freedom to carry on Trade, Profession or Business. Article 19 (1) (g) of the Constitution of India confers every citizen with the right to choose his own craft or to take up any trade or calling. This right is impregnated with an implied right for availing all the mechanisms and resources including advertising for progenyive carrying of the trade or occupation provided it doesnt go against public interest.Any covering bar on this right would be unreasonable when there is an option of constituting a specialized government body that would show the content of the advertisement. The question that remains is whether legal profession falls under the category of trade or business so as to avail the above right? Even though the judiciary in the words of Justice Krishna Iyer, has held that Legal Profession is such a noble Profession that it cannot form a part of trade or business, the recent trend of the courts is to justify this profession as a rade. over the years, the courts have recognized Legal Service as a service rendered to the consumers and have held that lawyers are accountable to the clients in the cases of deficiency of services. In the case ofSrinathv. Union of India, the Madras High Court held that, in view of Sec. 3 of Consumer egis Act, 1986 that Consumer redressal forums have jurisdiction to deal with claims against advocates. Sec. 2 (U) of the Competition Act, 2002 defines the term Service along the lines of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.Also the decision of Supreme Court inBangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Boardv. A. Rajappa,holds that legal profession is covered under the definition of the term Industry under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Further it should be noted that India is a part of WTO and is subjected to WTO laws and legal services are listed as a subsection of Business go in WTO Services Sectoral Classification list. In the view of the above background, the fundamental right to advertise guaranteed under A. 19(1)(g) ca n be given to the legal professionals to promote their services.This right thus, can be taken away only by imposing a reasonable restriction under A. 19(6) of the Constitution The Supreme Court further observed that Unless it is shown that there is a reasonable relation of the provisions of the Act to the purpose in view, the right of freedom of occupation and business cannot be curtailed by it.. the phrase reasonable restriction connotes that the limit imposed on a person in enjoyment of the right should not be peremptory or of an excessive nature,beyond what is required in the interests of the public. The word reasonable implies intelligent are and deliberation, that is, the picking of a course which reason dictates. Legislation which arbitrarily or excessively invades the right cannot be said to contain the quality of reasonableness and unless it strikes a proper balance between the freedom guaranteed in Art. 19 (1) (g) and the social control permitted by cl. (6) of Art. 19, i t must be held to be wanting in that quality. Restrictions can be laid by regulating and monitoring the advertising but not completely banning it as it would be going beyond what is required as regulating the advertisement is sufficient in public interest.Presently a writ petition is pending before the Indian Supreme Court challenging this rule of Bar Council of India. The petition was filed by Mr. V. B. Joshi who is an advocate practicing in the Supreme Court. In the last hearing of this matter in September 2007, the Government agreed to relax this law a bit. The Government agreed to allow the lawyers advertise on their own netsite and to enter their name into online directories but all these to be done under a committee monitoring it. IV. CHAPTER IV Disadvantages of banning Legal Advertisementsglobalization brought about a revolution in international trade with increasing participation and involvement of countries The implication of the same on the legal service sector has been both quantitative and qualitative. The past decade has been mini-revolution in legal service sector with the sterling(prenominal) legal impact on corporate legal arena activities in project financing, intellectual billet protection, environmental protection, competition law, corporate taxation, infrastructure contract, corporate governance and investment law were almost unknown before 90s.Globalization has expanded the internal and external demand for legal services. Today trade in legal services is an inevitable fact and is at the same time significant for progressive development of legal profession in India in this era of Globalization. * Consumerism and Informed Choice In the age of consumerism and competition law, consumers right to free and fair competition is paramount and cannot be denied by any other consideration. Informed choice is one of the rights of a consumer. Ban on advertising leads to depriving consumers of valuable information about the advocates.This has resulte d in a situation where consumers cannot make an informed choice from the competitive market since information relating to the service is not available to them. Moreover restriction on professional firms on informing potential users on range of their services and potential causes further injury to the competition. The services available to consumers of India are only municipal legal service providers and consumers most often are left at the mercy of advocates and the system . Thus it is very detrimental as they cannot resort to any other service provider in absence of choice. Advertisement on Internet Looking at the recent trend of Globalization and India joining the WTO, it has become inevitable to let lawyers advertise to compete in the global market. Not allowing lawyers to advertise has resulted in Indian lawyers losing a lot of potential clients internationally. It is realized that in this era of cyber age instead of turning to the jaundiced Pages, the public increasingly use s online search engines and other Internet tools to find needed goods and services and with the concepts of legal surgical process outsourcing increasing, i. . to find cheap legal services, people from countries like UK and US and other developed countries search for such services online. But these searches results in not a single Indian attorney or advocate or a law firm as India bans advertising by them as compared to other near Asian countries which allow it and hence a lot of potential clients are lost, in turn impact the delivery of India largely. Thus, India has lost lot of economic revenues and thus it would be beneficial for Indias economy to lift the ban on advertising for advocates.The Government has recently agreed on lifting it but only allowing the advocates to advertise on their own websites and in online legal directories. But no one knows when this will be implemented. * Other disadvantages The report of Monopolies and Mergers Commission in U. K. stated that rest rictions on advertisement by professionals reduce the stimulus to efficiency, exist saving, innovation, new entry to professions and competition within the professions.Thus, new entrants who require to establish their name in the market in order to get clients, are deprived of doing so through advertising as this is the most simplest and easiest method to enter into a market. Also restrictions enhance the more undesirable effects of less well-defined methods of self promotion. Also they could give a false image to a profession. Thus banning advertisement by lawyers is completely disadvantageous to the Indian society as a whole. * Need for regulating the advertising The need of the hour is to lift the total ban on advertising by advocates but not to completely let it free.It is required to be regulated. In case it is not monitored and regulated, then there would be lot of malpractices of misrepresentation, deceptiveness and false advertisements which would affect the society and de grade the nobility of this profession. The U. K. s Monopolies and Merger Commission in its report stated that the restrictions on legal advertising should be lifted but the law must also provide that 1. No advertisement, circular or other form of publicity used by the member should claim for his practice superiority in any respect over any or all of the practices of other members of the profession. . Such publicity should not contain any inaccuracies or misleading statements. 3. While advertisements, circulars and other publicity or methods of soliciting may.. make clear the intention of the individual member to seek customers, they should not be of a character that could reasonably be regarded as likely to bring the profession into disrepute. Thus, it is required that the advertising by legal professionals be regulated in order to avoid instances of ambulance chasing, barratry, misrepresentation, etc. This kind of regulation is also permissible under A. 9(1)(6) of Constitution of I ndia in the interests of public. V. CONCLUSION The ban on legal advertisements in India has not proved healthy so far for the Indian economy as well as Indian consumers. India has adopted WTO laws and a free market policy and thus accepting trade facet of legal services would develop this profession qualitatively. The Raghvan Committee has summed up the effect of the existing regulatory system in professional services as .. the legislative restrictions in wrong of law and self-regulation have the ombined effect of denying opportunities and growth of professional firms, restricting their desire and ability to compete globally, preventing the country from obtaining advantage of Indias considerable expertise and precluding consumers from opportunity of free and informed choice. Time is ripe to respite shackles of this overwhelming regulation subjecting legal profession away from modernity and banning it from advertising. India must remember its commitment to WTO for opening service sectors including, legal services, globally.Thus all the regulations have to be in conformity with competition policy and the Act. Hence, there is a craving need to lift this ban and to form rules and policy to monitor and regulate legal advertising. A committee could be formed to ensure compliance but laying blanket ban on legal advertising would hamper development and growth of India.

Body of the Paper Human Equality has been experience even since during ancient times, it is the practice of the pile in the past that woman is not a exalted regard individual, the focus of the people at that time further on the man who they intend will be a great help for them. Human rights for the woman were being neglected. It is their belief that when a m early(a) gives birth to a baby lady friend it is a bad luck for the family especi onlyy when it is the get-go born baby in the family.But when the mother gives birth to a baby boy the whole famil y good rejoice for the coming of the baby because they believed that it is a sign of pricy luck for them. Wo custody rights refer to the social and human rights being an individual. From wo manpowers involvement within the abolition movements, women became aw be of the male dominance and conquering (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) in ancient times women are struggling for the equality treatment they get from their parents and from the people in the community.In ancient times in Athens woman role is to live controlled by the man in their lives and they are controlled by their father when they are not yet married. They are squeeze to marry in their teens period to a man whose age is 30s with the choose of their father, erst a woman was married her husband controlled all her property. Any property that she might live with acquire would go directly to her husband, her obligations is just to follow what her husband sine qua nons and be a slave to him for the rest of her life.In Athens, woman had no rights to wander around the town, without a valid cause. Because they believed that any respectable woman would not be seen roaming in public. Athens women had virtually no policy-making rights they dont have the right to vote or to take part in the operation of the state. Woman was controlled by men at all stages of their lives they dont have all the rights to go against the well of their husbands. They are totally the property of their husband. In Athens, the men usually spent most of their time away from their houses, women dominated their home life.In the absence of their husband the wife was in charge of raising the children and making clothes for the family. Shes creditworthy in supervising the daily running of the household chores. Athens is a totally slave base economy, where plentiful numbers of female slaves was their available for produceing, cleaning and carrying water from the fountain for the middle class families. In the poorest homes of Athen s, the wife was expected to do all the household chores. At present times, Athenians women have already granting immunity from their husband.They can give birth normally and raise their child as what the other mother is doing. Women now can record in all the activities in the society they belong. Some of the women now have a high position in their chosen career. In ancient China women lived under the rules set by Confucius. His doctrine stated that women werent equal to men, because according to him women were unworthy or incapable of a literary education they are just fitted to be a servant. Throughout ancient Chinese history women were in a position of servitude from birth until death.They were actually considered woman as a mans private property (Heng) this was justified because they believed that disorder of this universe is not sent down by heaven, it is produced by women (women in world history. com pg. 3). Women were subject from birth to their fathers and brothers. They had to obey them without question. Women were often despised by their fathers, so oftentimes so that many an(prenominal) Chinese women had no name. They were simply called daughter No. 1, Daughter No. 2 and so on. At present government in China, Women are already recognized.They have an equal rights with the men in the society, The father can only suggest and recommend what is good for their childrens but the final determination come from the children. At this time in China after giving birth to the child they already got their names and they are already a part of the community. In the Islam concept, they propagate a concept of equality between man and woman because they believed that Allah has created both man and woman for their own specific purposes. Both have their own right to be respected and honored.But it is in their traditions that woman has no right to choose the right man for them to marry, it is the parents who will decide whom they will spend the rest of their lives. In this modern-day times, Islam women lock away agreed the decision of their parents in terms of their marriage, but some of them especially the educated ones choose whom they want to married not looking what might be the risk that they will get for their decisions. In these modern times the females enjoy their freedom to have quality education.Now they are free to go anyplace they want to travel. They can wear any styles of dresses and they can have anythings they want to own. In Egypt, the woman were consistently concluding some contracts, including marriage and divorce settlements, purchase of property and even arrangements for self enslavement, at a lower place self enslavement the servitude was stipulated for a moderate number of geezerhood. And on the duration of self enslavement, women often acquire a salary of their labor.In regards to the occupation status of the woman the upper and middle class was limited only for the home and for the family for the reasons of th e customary role of being the mother and the bearer of the children. In Egypt woman were not entrusted to any major religious task and any primary position in the government sector. At this present times in Egypt. Woman has already the rights to acquire quality education. And they have all the rights for a good job in the community.Some of the Egyptian women at this time have a good position in the government. They have all the rights to vote and can participate in any activities in the state. In Ancient Israel some of the liberal feminists believe that women were simply the property in Ancient Israel, and it is the men who have the complete control of female sexuality and fertility. In their society woman have had an inferior status in the law, their main obligations focus on their roles in the family, especially in the reproduction and fostering of the children.The Jewish and Christian communities downgraded the place of the woman in the community. Because they believed that woma n is only a part and they considered them as an outcast in the society. Today, Israel acknowledges the great participation of women in their success. Some of the women in their country at present serve in the government they are now well respected and honored. Some of them get high positions in their chosen career they have all the freedom to exercise their rights in the society.In 1950s women were blamed for creating the ills of the society by just leaving their husbands and children to go to work, critics of the working mother maintained the date that if the woman were to ignore their deepest emergencys of domesticity and motherhood, it would lead to emotional instability. In that year equality reveal because men held the vast majority of the position in the work place and job opportunities offered to woman is only in the clerical positions. Despite the rapid success of recent years women still face many challenges in life.While they are equal under the law, Because of recent mo ves towards capitalism women have found it harder to find well paying jobs. Factories and businesses prefer to recruit men more because of womens traditional responsibilities of having kids and maintaining households. Women are not seen as efficient as men are. So many women have gone into low-paying jobs or are receiving lower pay for the same work this though has had unfortunate side effect. Families, especially those in the country, want to have a boy to do heavy farm work and to continue the family line. If they get a girl it isnt uncommon for her to be killed.Fewer girls than boys are enrolled education in some countries today, especially in poor areas. More than 70 percent of school dropouts are girls, some because many fathers want them to take a traditional role and look after the house. In ancient papisticals, most women deal with the aristocracy. In the upper class families it was the men who got the best education and the best positions in the society. The women in their society divided up over one overwhelming and pervasive role and responsibility as child bearer of the family. Roman women were usually married by the time they were twelve years old, sometimes even younger.Girls married genuinely young and often died in childbirth because they were weakened from having many children without reprieve. Women were expected to have as many babies as they could because they were never sure how many of the children would reach the age of maturity. In Roman, women have no cream between having children or not, because they could not overrule their husband if he want to have a new-sprung(a) baby from her. It is in their law that female infants could not bring the family name of the father and they are requisite to ask for a dowry in time of their marriage.The earliest power of the father was exercised over the moving picture of the families, at birth, in a highly symbolic rite, newborns were be displayed males and females it is deposited at the feet of the father. He without explanation or justification either recognized the child as his by picking it up, or withheld his recognition by leaving it where it was, The recognized child will became the member of the family and the unrecognized child was abandoned to the river or left-hand(a) to die by starvation.Roman Woman did have some personal freedom, but they had a elfin chance for individuality or personal choice. They were always the constant supervision of their fathers, husbands, male relatives, who regularly kissed them on the mouth to find out if they had drunk wine. It is their law that woman who drink wine, and to commit adultery will be punish by death. By their father or guardians. In Roman society the woman certain presc knited roles was a child bearer, mother, daughter, and wife.They are considered citizens but they were not permitted to vote or participate in the government functions. In Japan, in the early feudal period, samurai women were expected to exhibit l oyalty, bravery, and take on the duty of revenge. As her warrior husband was often absent, the samurai wife alike had grand duties at home. Her responsibility was to cook food for the family and to do all the household chores. She was in charged to oversee the harvesting of crops, and managed of all the servants, and shes responsible over all financial business in terms of earnings disorder.In all the matters concerning the well-being of the family, her advice was accepted and her opinions were respected. On her, custody fells the burden of providing the proper education of her children. She was required to instill a strong sense of loyalty to the samurai ideals of courage and physical strength. And the woman is required to obey and follow all the government procedures without any questions. Over the years, the independent samurai woman was replaced by an image which depicted the ideal samurai women as humble, obedience, self-controlled and above all subservient to men.Respecting ones husband and familys customs and tradition, and the rule of explosive charge a male child becomes one of the ideal womans most important tasks. By the later feudal ages, the law of primogeniture prevailed as increasing disputes over the claiming of the property that resulted that girls was being de forbid from their rights to inherits properties from their parents and husbands. Supporting the harm in womens position were both the Confucian doctrine and Buddhism which denigrated womens intellectual and moral capacities to own a property of their own.After the 15th century, the teachings of the Three Obediences reigned. Stated as follows that A woman has no way of independence through life. When she is young, she obeys her father when she is married, she obeys her husband when she is widowed, she obeys her son. A hundred years ago, women had little standing in the Church, like in society in general. Women were not allowed to receive intercourse during their monthly periods and after giving birth to a child they needed to be purified before re-entering a church building.Women were strictly forbidden to touch sacred objects such as, the chalice, the paten or altar linen They for sure could not distribute Holy Communion. In church, women needed to have their heads veiled at all times. Women were also barred from entering the sanctuary except for cleaning purposes reading Sacred Scripture from the pulpit, preaching, singing in a church choir, being Mass servers, becoming full members of confraternities and organizations of the laity, and the most important than all this that women were barred from receiving Holy Orders.In our time, a new awareness has arisen of human rights of the basic equality of men and women, and of the need to secure equal opportunities to all. On account of this the attitude to women has also begun to change in the Church. Women may now be temporarily deputed to be readers, Mass servers, cantors, preachers, leaders of prayer services, ministers of baptism and of Holy Communion. But the ban on ordination remains in place. Conclusions Human Equality in the Ancient times are effortful to achieved, the Woman in that times are maltreated and known to be an overcast of the society.They cant fight for their rights because they are under the power of their father whom to be powerful for the control of their lives. Some of them suffered and died without any justice in their lives. In these modern times, Women are smarter than man, they have all the right before the laws, and they are free to do what is right for them. Some woman of today civilizations was holding high position in the government they are exposed to any skills and works that only man can do.Since those early years, much progress has been made for women in developed and developing countries alike in many countries, provisions guaranteeing the economic consumption of human rights without diversity on the basis of sex have been included in constitutions le gal literacy and other measures have been introduced to alert women to their rights and to ensure their access to those rights the world community has identified violence against women as a clear violation of womens rights incorporating gender perspectives into regular programmers and policies has become a priority at the join Nations and in many member states.Although much remains to be done to achieve full equality, the voices of women are being heard. There is a saying that goes, because I am a woman, I must garner unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, She doesnt have what it takes. They will say, Women dont have what it takes. (Clare Boothe Luce). Today generations, woman can already compete or surpass the accomplishments of the man in terms of work and positions in the government. Woman of today can do mush well than the man in all aspects of technology.Authorities have to realize those women are not going to face discrimination because they are only women. This world must realize that women of today are fighting for their rights because they want to be equal to men because they want to join their hands together to utilize potentials to the fullest of their abilities. In this expanding world it is important for all the people to be united to firmly stand despite of all the trials with the help of a common goal to express our own right and concern for life.Through all the successes of womens in the 70s and 80s women began to dream big dreams. Crossing all the economic, social, psychological and political barriers we the women of the present times want to tell the male chauvinist world that we are not merely a commodity found in the advertisements. This is a wake up call for both the genders that the excreting or the decreasing number of either sex will pose greater threat to the coming(prenominal) generations. In one of the scriptures, says a reminder for all the people concern that, Be careful if you throw a woman cry because god s ees her tears.A woman came out of mans rib not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior over, but from his side to be equal. Finally and most important, that women of today are giving back to work and not simply taking, versed that they are privileged to any aspects of life but mostly these women use their knowledge, money, and power to make the lives of the less(prenominal) fortunate a better one.. As women have fought a constant battle toward equality and opportunity, and the world was benefited by their works and accomplishments for the progress of all.References Bains Kaur Gurmanjot, Because I am a Woman, Retrieved celestial latitude 3. 2006 from http//www. livepunjab. com/node/1954/print Jacobw500, government agency of Women in China Ancient times and Today, Retrieved December 3, 2006 From http//www. planetpapers. com/Assets/4637. php Lewis Jone Johnson, Women and Marriage in Ancient Rome Chapter 1, Retrieved December 3, 2006 from http//womenshistory. about. com/cs/ancientrome/a/roman_wm_10101b. htm Mason K.
