Answer:

LACK OF CIVIC SENSE             By Shiva/Shamini                         Negligent attitude of the people seem to be the order of the day in today?s harsh world. Modern society has given birth to indifferent and offensive individuals. People no longer think of the after effects of their negligent activities. They are driven more by their selfish needs.                         People seldom follow traffic rules in India and are seen littering the streets with piles of trash. They show no respect for public property. Vandalism, road rage and intolerance are rampant on the streets. Perseverance and patience are rare virtues to be seen in people behind the wheels.                         Inculcating a strong civic sense is the need of the hour. Parents must instill civic sense in children at an early age. They must be taught the values of cleanliness, discipline, patience and tolerance. Parents must encourage their children to keep their surroundings clean as well as should practice what they preach to their children. Children should be taught to respect and abide by the rules as they are the future of the country. Our country can progress only if we teach right values to our children. As civilised citizen, it becomes the duty of a parent to fathom this dire need and start off this task at the earliest, as family is the beginning institution for a child to learn the right thing.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS             By Naina/Nikhil             Animals should be treated with love and compassion.                         However, we often fail to perform this duty. Instances of animal cruelty are on rise in our society. Poachers mercilessly kill animals for their skin, fur and teeth. This has led to the extinction of several species of animals which, has affected the ecological balance of our planet. Several companies use animals for testing medicines and cosmetics. Similarly, animals are often ill-treated and forced into performing circus tricks and other activities for our entertainment. Even the ?Tiger?, one of the endangered species, is on the verge of being extinct.                         We must understand that co-existence and harmony between humans and animals is essential for our planets survival. We must be more responsible and protective towards animals.I11-treatment with animals is the act of barbarism which is beyond the limit of one?s conscientiousness. We must learn to love them and treat them as loving creatures. Animals lack power of expression like humans but they possess the feelings of pain and agony. It is time that we reform our ways towards the animals. Immediate steps should be taken by the government to ensure proper care, protection and shelter for these animals.
