How Manchester United Can Win Trophies?
- Karma Gurung - 21109, Grade X ... 26 August, 2020

Despite being the most Famous English Club in the world with over 66 major trophies and a huge fanbase with more than 600 million fans worldwide, Manchester United are now behind their glory days. Ever since the departure of the legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson, United have not been able to dominate Europe or mainly England like they once used. There have been many changes in the manager, United got David Moyes who was thought to be the successor of Sir Alex, Then united got World cup runner up Netherland’s manager, Louis Van Gaal who also flopped, Then United signed’ The special one” Jose Mourinho who won three trophies in his first season but then was sacked 2 seasons later, and finally now Manchester united have signed Treble winning legend Ole Gunnar Solskjær.

In Solskjær’s first season 2019-2020, Manchester United signed a center-back, a right-back, and a winger. United was off to a good start until injuries started affecting the first eleven of ole’s team. Pogba was injured, Martial was injured as well as Rashford. The United squad lacked quality in the bench as well as replacements for Pogba was Pereira. Although many of the players missed out on the early games of the season, United was able to make a comeback for the race of top-4 through the influence of Bruno Fernandes. United finished third in that season to Liverpool and Manchester City who finished 1st and 2nd, respectively.

Manchester United require a rebuilding process if they want to win trophies again. They need to sign players in positions they are lacking like Right-winger, Left-footed center-back, and a defensive midfielder. United also lacks quality in the bench with the likes of average players like Andreas Pereira, Marcos Rojo, Lingard, Eric bailey, Daniel James, and Phil Jones. United need to sign players to have depth in their squad. United need to sign back up players and positions like Central attacking midfield, Left-back, Midfield, Striker as well as left-winger This rebuilding process will be long and a very expensive one. But it is something Manchester  United must do if they want to win trophies again..

Path To Greatness: Giannis Antetokounmpo (The Greek Freak)
- Biraj Bikram Sahi - 21105, Gr ... 25 August, 2020

Giannis  Antetokounmpo is an NBA player who plays for Milwaukee bucks in the east and also the current holder of the 2019 NBA’s MVP award. Giannis Antetokounmpo was born on December 6, 1994, in the beautiful city of Greece, Athens. Giannis has 5 brothers, two of whom are younger and two of then are older. Including Giannis, all of his siblings are involved in sports. Three of the four Antetokounmpo brothers play basketball in the NBA Giannis’s parents moved away from their home in Nigeria to Greece in search of jobs. It was in the city of Athens, where Giannis would be born and would start his way to global basketball dominance.

The world knows Giannis for his athletic abilities in basketball but Giannis didn’t always love basketball. At a young age, Giannis wanted to be a soccer player like his father. He hated to play basketball. So what made Giannis start playing basketball? Even though Giannis wanted to play soccer, his brother Thanasis wanted his brothers to play basketball.  Giannis was only 12 years old at that time and he wanted to spend time with his brother so he started playing basketball.

Giannis started playing for the youth squad of Filathlitikos by 2009. He started his professional career in 2012-2013 for Filathlitikos. Around this time many European scouts had their eyes on the greek freak. On April 28, 2013, Antetokounmpo was officially drafted in the NBA draft. He was drafted by the Milwaukee bucks as a first-round pick by being selected 15th overall. And through his work ethic and ability towards the sport of basketball, he is now one of the best players in the league and he is still only 25 years old averaging 25 points per game this season.

Parental Involvement In Children’s Education
- Shruti Pokhrel - 21124, Grade ... 24 August, 2020

What can be the reason behind the differences in grades among students although they’re taught the same thing at the same time?  What I think is though a student might have inherent mental capacity, the parenting styles, upbringing, and their involvement in children’s education do create a difference. Since the birth of a child, it’s the responsibility of parents to nurture their child covering all areas like physical, intellectual, and emotional. It is widely recognized that parents are the first and primary educators of children and their involvement in children’s education is vital for creating a cooperative environment to succeed.

Research also shows that effective partnerships between parents, families, and schools lead to better and improved learning outcomes. Through this parents are up to date with their child’s performance in the school. They exhibit increased self-confidence in their parenting and more about the children’s development. For high-quality care and education of young children, good communication between staff and parents is crucial. Parents who do not get involved in the school might not know, whether they are attending classes regularly or not. Talking about homework and assignments, when parents supervise to make sure that their children are done with their homework and assignments, it is more likely that the works will be completed and handed in on time. Therefore, parental involvement can enhance social skills, improve grades, and increase attendance.

When children see that their parents are involved in their school, it shows them that their parents care about their education and through which they feel motivated and are likely to model their parents. Some parents may not be involved in their child’s education and school for some reason but it doesn’t mean they don’t care. It might be because they are dealing with some bigger problems in their mind and don’t have enough leisure time to get involved in these things. As children grow up, the rate of parent participation drops because parents feel like they should be independent enough to handle their tasks on their own. Teachers play a key role in making parents up to date and increase their involvement in their child’s education by sending home information through newsletters, report cards, phone calls, etc. Parents should not be given feedback only on a child’s negative behavior but also on any positive behavior or academic improvements the child is making. This helps to build a good relationship with the teachers.

Sometimes, even though parents think they know their children and what’s best for them, they may not be able to recognize the child’s weaknesses. That’s where both the teachers and parents need to communicate and work together to create an environment that’s best for the child. Personally what I think is there cannot be something more important than your own child’s future and education and it should be a matter of concern for both the teachers and parents.

Dark Web And Deep Web
- Anil Banjade - 21103, Grade X ... 23 August, 2020

The deep web refers to any internet information or data that is inaccessible by a search engine and includes all web pages, websites, intranets, networks, and online communities that are intentionally and/or unintentionally hidden, invisible, or unreachable to search engine crawlers. The DARK WEB refers to encrypted online content that is not indexed by conventional search engines. It is also known as the dark net. The dark web is a component of the deep web that describes the wider breadth of content that is not indexed in common search engines. The surface web covers just 5% of the internet while dark web and deep covers around 95% of the internet. The size of the dark web is rapidly increasing. In 2001 its size was around 7.5 Petabytes and its size in 2003 was 91, 0000 petabytes. Deep web basically consists of secret files of different organizations that are hidden intentionally from normal users like Facebook photos that are marked as private, social media chats, etc. Different puzzles are asked on the dark web which can be solved by the people who have knowledge of cryptography and data encryption and who are good in social engineering. CICADA 3301 is one of the most popular puzzles that was asked in 4CHAN.

How to access the dark web?

TOR (THE ONION ROUTER) is an open-source software program that allows users to access the dark web. TOR was originally developed for the U.S. Navy in an effort to protect government communications. TOR is all about being anonymous as it creates a seven-layer chain of IP addresses. In TOR, transactions are mostly done mostly through bitcoins as it is not easily traceable.

Who uses the dark web and why?

The dark web is used by journalists because on the dark web we can find information which the government doesn't want people to know. It is the home of hackers and your one wrong click may lead to your email, Facebook, bank-detail hacking, etc. You can find books which are banned from normal people and the research paper which the government doesn't tell you to know. You can find research papers on alien life, Illuminati, Apollo 11etc. You can find books, gadgets, and other materials for free.

Illegal activities that happen in the dark web:

  • Drug selling, Hacking, Distribution of fake citizenship and passport
  • Selling stolen credit cards, and different paid accounts
  • Hiring Hitman (killer), the live stream of killing people
  • Selling of books which are banned from normal people
  • Selling of soul of miscarriage babies

The dark web is the best search engine out there to maintain privacy and to put your opinion but it has become the home of hackers and criminals. The main reason for the increase in crime in TOR is the lack of organization to manage it. Many websites like Silk Road, TORchan are banned but there are many websites that are yet to be banned and it’s surprising to see such websites being funded by the US gov. and Russian government. Personal data and information are sold openly in the dark web for $5- $1000 and if you want a visit, you shouldn’t be surprised to see your own personal information on the dark web.

Mind And Body
- Lukash Ratna Kansakar - 21111 ... 19 August, 2020

From an idealist view, however closely the mind may be connected with its body, it is nevertheless distinct and separable from the body. The idealist view of the mind is the opposite of the materialist view. Mental functions of the brain are considered to be the most complicated relations of the animal to the external world. According to idealism, the mind animates the body and makes use of organs to adapt to the external world. A reflex is not only being stimulated by the external surrounding but also reacting to it. The mind reacts to various stimuli for the survival of its body and eventually, the collection of reflexes becomes the consciousness of a mind. This is in essence what primitive people think of as the soul, a very fine vapor of 21 grams that completes a human body; that is responsible to control every aspect of the body. This is what the word “spirit” originally meant – which resides in the body but can come out of it and lead an individual existence.

Idealist philosophical theories believe that the mind and body are two distinct substances. Material substance or body has weight, moves around, and is something physically exposed to surrounding. Spiritual substance or mind, thinks, knows, desires, and is responsible to control the body. However, the definition of material substance applies to the brain as well because the mind and brain are two different concepts and the brain itself is exposed to the physical world.

The mind is, in fact, the soul of the brain. For example, if we think and feel and act intelligently, such behavior is not to be explained from our material existence but from the independent functioning of our mind. The brain makes use of our bodily organs but intelligent behavior stems from the fact that the body is animated, informed, and controlled by an immaterial or a spiritual being, the mind.

Modern materialism, which is equipped with the scientific investigation in the form of organic matter and evolution, gives decisive answers to support the idealist concept. A mind is a product of evolutionary development of life. Living bodies with a certain level of development of the nervous system, such as we find in animals, can and do develop forms of consciousness; and in the course of evolution this consciousness it eventually reaches the stage of thought which is only known to be achieved by the human mind.

Once this is admitted, there is an end to the conception of the mind or soul as a separable from the body and capable of leaving it and surviving it. A mind without a body is an absurdity. The mind doesn’t exist in abstraction from the body. However, to say that the mind does not exist in abstraction from the body is not to say that the mind of a being is a myth. Modern materialism doesn’t deny the reality of mind but it does deny that the thing called “mind” exists separate from the body.

Mr. Beast: A YouTube Phenomena
- Manit Bhattarai - 21112, Grad ... 18 August, 2020

Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as Mr. Beast, is an American YouTuber/Internet personality notable for his expensive and crazy videos that leave people in absolute awe. Born on May 7th of 1998, Jimmy started his YouTube journey at the age of 13 under the name MrBeast6000. His videos in the early days were pretty average, ranging from video gameplay through to estimating other YouTuber's net worth.

But after his viral hit video of counting to 100,000 (which took him about 40 hours, but some parts sped up to fit it in 24 hours limit), Jimmy started getting recognition on the internet. That’s when the journey of Mr. Beast truly began. With currently over 40 million subscribers on YouTube, his content is usually expensive stunts that easily grab the attention of even normal laymen who are not his regular viewers. Some of his crazy early day's stunts include counting to 200,000, a subsequent video to “ Counting to a 100,000” as a journey to 1 million subscribers, breaking glass using 100 microphones, watching paint dry, attempting to stay underwater for 24 hours and many more. In the march of 2019, he organized a real-life battle royale with a prize pool of $200,000 with many other YouTube stars.

He is also very much known for his charitable events throughout the internet. A typical video would be him giving away a large sum of money, such as $100,000 worth of items to homeless shelters, $32,000 to wounded veterans of war, $70,000 to children’s research hospital ( Saint Jude ), buying a homeless man a house, etc. During the YouTube war of subscribers between PewDiePie and T-series, MrBeast bought numerous ads on radio advertisements, many billboards, multiple seats at Super Bowl whole occupants wore a shirt that spelled out “Sub 2 PewDiePie”. His biggest event was raising $20,000,000 to plant 20,000,000 trees all around the world with former NASA engineer, now YouTuber, Mark Rober in which they were very much successful. Some even go as far as to say MrBeast saved the entire planet. He does many suspenseful and teeth clenching videos as well. For example, hide and seek where the winner gets $50,000, spending 24 hours in the Bermuda triangle, solitary confinement, Doomsday bunker, etc. , shooting fireworks worth $600,000 during the 4th of July and his most recent video where the winner of several consequent challenges gets to keep an entire island costing $800,000.

MrBeast truly is one of a kind YouTuber whose type of content is something people probably couldn’t have imagined 5 years ago. He recently said he is dying with $0 in his bank account by giving them away to people in need and people who don’t believe him can sit and watch him create history and leave his name on this planet as a great hero of our generation.

Communication Skills
- Samir Khadka - 21120, Grade X ... 16 August, 2020

Do you choose the correct medium of communication while communicating with your friends? Or maybe you feel betrayed that even if you made things clear about something and made a decision and conveyed it to your friends at the correct time but didn’t get any response instead. Then probably you are choosing the incorrect way of communicating.

Many people are scared to communicate with others because they don’t find themselves as extroverted as the people they meet outside their community. They meet people who are quite unfriendly and feel that everyone is the same. Sometimes verbal errors can also cause misunderstandings between people which can lead to bad communication. To be a good communicator we should try to listen to what the speaker is trying to say rather than speaking more ourselves and disrespecting the thoughts of the speaker. we should also choose a good medium for communication. If we have some information to share formally then we can choose communication channels like e-mail, but if the information needs to be conveyed urgently, we must make a phone call or meet the people personally.

Suppose you want to invite someone to a birthday party. If you mail them, they might not get the information at the correct time and may not attend. You will feel bad about this but you should know that you have chosen a wrong communication channel to convey the message. Instead, you would invite them by making a call. Make sure to follow the 7C’s followed during communication: Clear, Concise, Correct, Concrete, Coherent, Complete, and Courteous. Verbal Communication, Nonverbal Cues Speak Volumes, Visual Communication are the types of communication.

Technology provides people a wide variety of communication channels. To use them correctly and at the right time is our foremost task to do. Make sure the person whom the information is to be conveyed gets the information at the right time so that we don’t get into trouble. Those people who can communicate properly are also the ones with good leadership skills and get good attention from the people around them. Famous CEOs are good communicators and that is why they possess such good personalities. You might have heard about the elevator speech where you need to discuss and explain your ideas within a short period of time and if you succeed, you can make a good deal.

 

To sum up, communications skills are the most required skills that we need in this modern era. We have lost a way of proper communications due to the wrong information gained on social media. There can be  tons of fake news when you surf the internet; so make sure that we only share information that is true and if you are not sure about it, don’t convey it to others. There should always be a good channel to communicate.

Why Are Failures Treated In Different Ways?
- Sophi Shrestha - 21126, Grade ... 13 August, 2020

Have you ever been so scared of failing that you decided to give up without even trying? Failure and life go hand in hand. It's impossible to live a life without failure. For most of us, failure feels like something that defines who we are. But failure is simply a cost you have to pay on the way of being right. Failing a test means you're not smart enough. Failing in business means you don't have what it takes. Falling in arts means you're not creative and so on….

This is much more different than how society often talks about failure. There is a saying that we learn from every mistake in life, but it's just a saying no one applies it in life. If they fail they feel that they have done a crime. They think being a failure is the same as a curse. They think life has only one chance and if in that one chance also we fail then it's all over no more reason to leave.``Doing something is better than doing nothing”. None of this is to say that you should seek to make mistakes or that falling is fun. It's obvious that you will always try to do something right. And falling in something that is important to you is never fun.

But in life failure will always be a part of your growth for one simple reason. People fail in many places, in school, business, and life so on. Most of us are scared to accept the word “ fail”. But if we take it in a positive way then we can find that failing is teaching us something good and we accept it then we'll never repeat that mistake again. Different types of people are treated in different ways, failures are also treated in different ways. Like heart failure are treated with a combination of medications and exam failure are also treated in different ways. Accepting every situation is way better than ignoring it. Those who are failures feel that everything is over; they don't try to manage it and move on. They stuck thinking what others think about me and how they will treat me. So it's better to learn from the reason what made us fail and move on. It helps us to be alert and never repeat it again. You make mistakes, have setbacks or you simply fail. But you can't avoid it. 

It's human nature. It is obvious that getting outside of our comfort zone makes us scared. So, we should try to remove that fear by considering all of the potential outcomes of our decision and try to take word failure positively. Because failure presents you an opportunity to learn until you get it right. We should try to consider all the athletes, scientists, entrepreneurs, and other successful people who have tried and failed, But never gave up.

Promotion Of Human Value 
- Spandan Bhattarai - 21127, Gr ... 12 August, 2020

Why are we still being led by hearts of stone rather than hearts of love? Do our leaders reflect our own lack of values?  Perhaps.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           -Dalai Lama

Before starting to talk on this topic, we must know what ‘human values’ mean. Human values are the virtues that guide us to take into account the human elements such as respect, acceptance, consideration, appreciation, listening, openness, affection, empathy, and love towards others when we interact with each other. The 14th  Dalai Lama (religious name: Tenzin Gyatso), advocates the cultivation of warm-heartedness and human values such as compassion, forgiveness, tolerance, contentment, and self-discipline. Neglecting these values will surely prevent the world from getting to a place of peace and understanding. His holiness is concerned with encouraging people to be happy, helping them to understand that if their minds are upset, less are the physical comforts. 

He said that secular ethics is rooted in scientific findings, common experience, and common sense and can be smoothly integrated into any nation’s education system. Religious fundamentalism, which lacks these basic human values, creates a hostile environment between us and them eliminating tolerance and hope for peace. He spoke about the experiments scientists have conducted on young infants. He set up situations in which one gives help and/or hinders it or obstructs it and aided the example of help and setting up our status as social animals whose survival depends upon others giving the concept of community and feel that fosters along with it such as love and affection also the feeling that destroys the concept of a community like anger and jealousy that creates distance and separation between the people by harvesting a sense of concern so that we can learn to use our intelligence practically. 

Among the seven billion people alive in the world today, 1 billion of them believe that they have no such beliefs. His holiness put on a saying that the question is how to educate such people to believe in love and compassion and also suggested that adopting a secular approach that expresses unbiased respect for all the religions and even for the people who affirm no faith. His holiness even stated that the people who engage in love, compassion, warm-heartedness show a drastic decrease in stress and blood pressure and there is a significant increase in social interaction with people around them and used this as an example that it is possible to educate people on the basis of scientific findings, common experience, and common sense. “Graduating with a formal education won’t guarantee happiness, but committing to finding inner peace will have the greatest influence on life”, he said. The Nobel Peace Prize winner is known to insert religion and Indian values into his approach to the world and has often brought it upon his speech. Reminding people that being happy, satisfied in life can grow in a healthy way. Although it wouldn’t be easy, it could be reached with determination, optimism, and willpower.

In the afternoon of 22nd of November, 2014, when his holiness was invited to address a meeting held by an independent, non-profitable organization, Ananta Aspen Centre, he outlined his own three commitments. First, he talked about the promotion of human values as a source of happiness and physical health, saying that the main source of happiness is the mind and also brought into attention that our lives begin with our mother’s care and affection and as social animals, it is care and affection that brings all the people together.

He described his second commitment as the promotion of inter-religious harmony, taking international figures like Mother Teresa, whose dedication to benefit the community by helping the poor and needy as an expression of their faith. He even said that religions may have different perspectives but at last, they all share the same common goal that is to maintain peace between all the living beings.

Acknowledging that he is Tibetian and many Tibetians have placed their trust upon him while being wholly retired from politics,  he clings onto a concern for flourishing the Tibetian culture as it is a culture of peace, non-violence, and compassion. He said that the concern for Tibet also extends to its natural environment, noting that a billion people across Asia are dependent on the water that flows from Tibet’s rivers. As human beings, we all need to take responsibility for creating a better world and more peaceful humanity.

He said that secular ethics is an approach to inner values that does not disturb or come as an obstacle to the concept of god or religious tradition and even called it an appropriate approach for those who don’t value any type of religious traditions or spiritual beliefs and does not mean any disrespect or distance from any religion but is an approach where he can bring people following different religions to help the humankind to achieve a single that is to maintain peace with every people in the community. Love, compassion, forgiveness, and kindness are not religious values but are human values. With the people of the world being one whole family, the people here cannot remain indifferent. We have created these problems and we must make new efforts with different ideas and vision and it is our responsibility to change that problem. 

His Holiness elaborated on his thoughts about secular ethics, the importance of human values such as compassion, kindness and also talked about changes taking place in China and the fact that the people in the world depend on each other on how we exert ourselves. He said that exploring to find the source of happiness is within us and we just need a map of emotions and feelings to find it. We must develop a sense of emotional hygiene and understand how to manage our emotions. How to counter negative emotions and cultivate positive emotions and it is the only way to find peace within and save humankind for good.

A Dive Into The Universe
- Riya Jha - 21134, Grade XII o ... 11 August, 2020

Ever wondered to measure the winds of Mars or to know the mystery of violence of volcanoes erupting unexpectedly on Jupiter’s moon? Who knew that Moon was a ‘rock’ that never shined on its own. All it began millions of years ago when something mysterious happened which resulted in galaxies, solar systems, and a living planet. The “Big Bang” theory is just one of the several theories for the origin of the universe. From then the Universe is ‘expanding’. Expanding in a sense everything is moving away from each other. It happened when a huge explosion took place. An enormous substance exploded and the tiny particles moved away from each other as a result of energy. The explanation is the "dark energy" that permeates it throughout, pushing it to expand.

To be more clear, take a balloon and make some black dots on it with the help of a marker. Now, as you inflate the balloon, the dots move farther away from the home dot and each other. The results show that the farther away a dot is from the home dot, the faster its movement. This is an example by Hubble. One limiting thing is the surface of the balloon (where you drew the dots) is two-dimensional, while the universe is three-dimensional. The big question that arises here is if the balloon keeps expanding will it explode? And also if it discontinues its motion, will everything shrink? YES, it will!! But in the case of the Universe, there’s something that is holding the universe, managing its time of expanding. Our universe is expanding in a rapid motion, in its own time! Well, what do you think time is? “Time is a distinction between Past, Present, and Future, but a stubborn illusion”, Einstein says. But is time universal? Is there any audible tick-tock throughout the galaxy, maybe a master clock? But, neither the time is not absolute nor the expansion is not absolute. The Universe isn't just expanding, but the expansion is accelerating over time. 

Half a millennium years ago, the universe was all sorted. Earth was the center of everything. The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars rose itself and circled the earth at no great distance. Those tiny stars were so-called ‘pure crystals’ things. Everything looked simple and the Universe seemed well known.

But, centuries passed and the scale of the solar system and of the universe expanded incredibly as a result of investigation and study. Copernican theory replaced the earth with the sun at the center of the solar system. The wandering lights(planets) became individual worlds. New discoveries in Physics and cosmology made it possible to analyze and even weigh distant stars. We have found a system of 100 billion stars and the galaxies in this universe. We discovered strange things and powerful energies that our eyes could never see. Robot spacecraft could fly past other worlds sending back the close pictures and videos that have brought distant planets closer to us.

There is a lot more to explore the unknown substances existing up there and down here. In 1957, the Space age started. We could pull back the gravity and cross the atmosphere of the earth.  Astronauts and machines could stand on other planets, study them at close range, and bring back samples to analyze on Earth. This was such an interesting mode of living life in the unknown universe.  We have sensed the turmoil in the huge, violent universe beyond incredible energies and fantastic objects such as quasars, pulsars, and black holes. Every time when I think of the Universe, I get lost in the mysteries that no one ever has solved here on the earth and end up thinking will everything end? And then my mind clicks some dialogues of some dramatic movies saying, ‘everything that started will come to an end’. Well, scientists have known only 4% of it and the rest will be a mystery.

In a short time, we have studied the universe with new discoveries, other planets have become individual familiar worlds that we can see and even touch. You will feel dumb when you start imagining stuff and theories made by some ancient scientists. Becoming an Astrophysicist is after all not an easy job to do. But once you devote your life to the universe, nothing will be impossible to achieve. You will be solving your mind mysteries on your own. So before hurting your brain cells thinking of the unsolved mysteries, make sure to gather some knowledge about the theories and applications of some subjects related to the study of the Universe and take a deep dive into the unknown UNIVERSE!

What It Feels Like To Be Living In A Cage?
- Ashraya Banskota - 21104, Gra ... 10 August, 2020

Have you ever wondered what a tiger living in a cage in a zoo feels like? Because of the recent pandemic, you might say yes and that it’s not a good feeling rather it’s claustrophobic. It had become very difficult for people to go out and many people suffered and still are suffering from mental illness. According to a survey made in the UK, it was said that 10% of people who were quarantined, suffered from high depressive symptoms. It’s not only in the UK but it is all over the world. Whenever we go to the zoo, we never think about what animals are going through. They have been living in the cage for many years. With lots complaining about being in lockdown, moaning about being bored, unable to go anywhere, etc. just think of the millions, probably billions of animals that we’ve needlessly caged over the years. And zoos are one of them. Just for their own happiness, people have been separating the animals from their natural habitats. The only difference between a human and an animal is that humans can express their sorrow through dialogue whereas animals cannot. It’s not just humans that go through mental illness, but animals also suffer from it and they become depressed in life as they have no freedom to live. Also, scientists have proven that animals that are kept in cages become stressed, sick, and don't live as long.

How would you feel if you were also put into the cage, living the same life as billions of animals are living and spending your time all alone either with no family members or your friends?  How would you feel if you were in self-isolation? Angry, depressed, tired of your current life, and irritated, right? Think about the animals who have been isolated their entire lives. No living being should live in captivity. Animals also should have the freedom to live their lives. Instead of zoos, animals can be kept in wildlife sanctuaries; a place where animals do not have to sacrifice their natural habitat. Wildlife organizations these days promote wildlife sanctuaries more than zoos. The wild-life sanctuaries allow the animal to live in its natural way under the protection of the forest security guards.

There are also people who use animals for entertainment; circus. According to a survey, 96% of a circus animal’s life is spent in chains or cages. Tigers who usually fear fire are forced to perform stunts in a circus. Trainers also use whips, tight collars, muzzles, electric prods, bullhooks, and other painful tools of the trade to force animals to perform. These kinds of ruthless behavior of some humans toward the animals should be strictly prohibited. Animals too have lives and forcing them to do something that will only affect the animal’s mental health. Sometimes, they may also attack humans because of cruel behavior. 

 Animals are the assets of our planet. They play an important role in the ecosystem. Even though they cannot express their feelings to us, we can at least be kind towards them. Keeping them in a cage and forcing them to live in a captive environment is very much unnecessary. Instead, we should make them live in their natural habitat so that they also can taste the feeling of freedom.
