Gender Equality

Gender equality means equal representation of men and woman. It doesn’t mean that men and women are same but they have equal value and right. Gender equality is seen as a basic human right. All over the world, women are found to be more suppressed. Studies shows that majority of the poor population around the world are women. Around 70% of the populations who live in extreme poverty are all women. Different parts of the world still prohibit women from right to vote. Equal pay for equal work is one of the main areas where gender equality is rarely seen. Discrimination against women and girls (such as gender-based violence, economic discrimination, reproductive health inequities and harmful traditional practices) remains the most pervasive and persistent form of inequality.

Empowering women through better education, opportunities, leadership, justice, better health facilities, right to vote, equal pay for equal work, etc. are some of the most important step towards gender equality.

Woman Empowerment

We all know from our experience that woman are responsible for almost all aspect of the family. Be it taking care of all the family members or providing basic needs and maintaining the whole family. Women are responsible for maintaining the overall family status in the society. Empowering women can be the pathway to achieving millennium development goals and sustainable development.

It is said that providing education to a man provides education for himself and providing education to women provides education for herself, her children, and the whole family. Empowering women thus leads to better family, society, and thus the whole country benefits and all the development goals can be achieved.

Providing education and training, better health and safety, promoting to woman leadership are some of the few ways of better environment. Nondiscriminations to women, women equality at work are some of the few measures that should be taken into consideration for women empowerment for the better future.

Good Teacher

Teaching is a profession where there is challenge, excitement, reward and chance to encourage and support others for the better future of the students. However it’s not at all easy to become a good teacher. A good teacher doesn’t only teaches and evaluate the students but also encourage them towards success, innovation and knowledge. Study shows that the single most important factor for determining the quality of the education a child receives is the quality of his teacher. Being a good teacher brings success to the future of the students.

Being a good teacher requires great qualities like caring the students and forming strong relationship with them. They are masters of the subject matter and are well prepared and well managed. Communicating frequently with parents and engaging the students to look the matter in different ways also make them good teachers. If a teacher is responsible, caring, daring, and always concerned towards the progress of the students, he can not only become good teacher but a great teacher.

Instead, it’s about the climate change, changes that refers to our environment, atmosphere and weather over time. Here we are referring to decades not seasons. Global warming refers to the change in hydrology and biology of the earth i.e. changes in temperature, rain, winds etc.

Studies have shown that the overall global temperature has increased by 0.8 degrees centigrade. Sea level are constantly rising, storms and floods are more frequent, more disease, loss of biodiversity are some of the very few consequences of global warming. If global warming is not addressed, it could have serious effect on our planet and the whole living thing could face a serious threat for the existence.

There are different ways to stop global warming like by reducing the use of the fossil fuel, planting the native trees globally, stop deforestation. Going green also add to stop global warming.
