Impact of cinema on life
- Himani Bhattarai - 2023017, G ... 08 March, 2021

Cinema is a common topic for most youths these days. Most of the time they talk about it and in their free time they spend their time watching the cinema. There are both good and bad impacts of cinema on people’s lives. 

First for the good impact in our life. Cinema teaches us so many things. Most of the cinema includes social activities and it reflects our society. Since we live in modern society most of the children don't know the culture of our country. Cinema teaches the traditional culture of society. These days traditional instruments are not seen in our house or in other words are not used in our day to day activities. Instruments like jhyali jhyamta are not seen nowadays but those instruments are seen in cinema. So many social practices which were never known by the new generation are seen in cinema and they can know about it. It's also a means of entertainment.  Most people love to watch movies in their free time. Some watch cinema to see their favorite actor or actress and try to copy them which can be a good aspect since most of the actors are health conscious and which helps people to think about their health. Some cinemas help us to distinguish between right and wrong. While we watch movies we imagine ourselves as the main character and while the main character is on the wrong path it helps us to think about the situation which helps to increase our thinking capabilities. Some people watch cinema to come out of depression. 

Despite having all these good impacts there are some bad impacts as well. In cinema, many characters consume drugs and things containing nicotine like cigarettes, tobacco, etc. Some cinemas show domestic violence which may inspire some people to do so. Some movies may contain adult scenes that alter the youth's mind in such things. Some people try to implement the same thing that happened in cinema which might result in harassment and many more social problems. Some people use cinema as a bad reference to do bad activities. Cinema also results in time loss. It consumes time and money. For people who don't have enough money and wish to watch cinema is a big crisis. Some children learn bad behavior from cinemas like consuming cigarettes and alcohol. Some cinema may affect others' mentality about some particular topics like marriage. Some cinemas are not favorable while watching with family. People might take fight scenes in movies in the wrong way. Some parents scold their children due to cinema which affects their children’s mind and their thinking capabilities. 

Cinema creates both negative and positive effects in human life. Despite having some negative effects we should not completely prohibit cinema as it has many positive effects and teaches many things which are very important in one's life.

Love Jihad
- Dhiraj Chapagain - 2022007, G ... 04 March, 2021

According to Wikipedia, Jihad is an Arabic word that means striving or struggling with the praiseworthy aim. It could be an individual's internal struggle too. Jihad is often referred to or used in terms of making life or conforming to life with the rules of god or god’s guidance. It is usually the most misunderstood religious word. Jihad is a goal that can be achieved in any profession or any form of work. Now, coming towards the main topic, what actually is Love Jihad? 

Love Jihad is a conspiracy theory which states that Muslim men target Hindu women for conversion to Islam by any means (marriage, kidnapping, seducing). Recently on 25 November 2020, four Indian states restricted ‘unlawful religious conversion’. Although there are no proofs or alleged facts of love jihad it is still a matter of fact that people are oppressed and are not free to make their own choices. A video clip from India in December got viral which showed a group of Hindu men harassing a woman. The so-called Hindu activists handed over a woman, her husband, and his brother to the police with the statement that it was love jihad. The police arrested the guy and took the woman to a government shelter. Later it was known that it was not a love jihad and the boy got bail. Although he got out of jail, the woman was pregnant and had a miscarriage. Young kids from UP and other Indian states are taught to use weapons and are forced to learn the use of swords. They are completely brain-washed and are told to use the weapons when they see any Muslim with a Hindu girl. This is purely and entirely a hindrance to someone's freedom of speech and freedom to enjoy rights with the exploitation of law. Love still remains dangerous and difficult, fighting against patriarchy, kinship, religion, caste, and family honor. I have a joke and it is on us that we believe we have freedom of speech and freedom to enjoy rights. While the constitution supports and states freedom of speech; still, political parties, press, and media hold the audacity to raise voice against someone’s private life. We still hear this or that comedian got arrested for making his opinions against a religion or a sensitive topic. Recently a huge jewelry brand Tanishq got backlash just because their ad featured an interfaith couple. Although these incidents and laws are from India, we are still not far away from implementing them. We are still a developing country imitating other developed or at least developed nations than us including India. Nepal implemented a new rule that any woman under the age of 40 must send an application to the ward office signed by the family before visiting any foreign country. How dumb we need to be to understand, this is radical oppression and indicates that women still need to be under the guidance of men. We seriously need to learn to make jokes and respect someone’s freedom of speech and freedom to enjoy their rights!

The Impact of Video Games on Young Children
- Estella Shrestha - 2023013, G ... 03 March, 2021

Nowadays, young children are into video games just for fun or to enjoy in their free time. Video games have an effect on children and also have a bad impact on them because most games are content with violence. Those children who play video games that are violent increase aggressive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Those children who play video games, can become immune to it, more likely to act violently themselves, and are less likely to behave emphatically.  A video game is an electronic game that can be played on a PC, mobile phone, tablet, computers, and virtually. 

Adolescents and not to neglect the fact that children at a very young age these days have been involved and so much obsessed with video games and even YouTube videos relating to people reacting and playing the same games. Not just involved but it is seen that the children are overly involved in the games. From starting their day to ending their day they’ve been giving time to video games ignoring their hobbies, interests, reading, playing physical games, and exercise. It’s obvious that spending 2 third of their time on laptops, computers or mobile phones they have poor social skills and no time for family or friends which makes a bad impact on their eyesight too. We can observe that many young children wear glasses for their poor eyesight. It is often seen that children spend more time on video games rather than their studies. Video games not only give a child poor eyesight and an unhealthy and conserved mindset it also makes them have aggressive thoughts and behaviors in life due to the loss they face in the game. It has not only made the children lack behind in everything but video games have grabbed a studious and a playful children’s mind from studies and physical games, as psychologists mention that video games make a children’s mind sharp I believe it only makes their mind blunt. Video games are often referred as exercises to minds but in today’s context, it has made children practice riskier behaviors recklessly.

Children even force their parents or guardians to buy them new cell phones or gadgets so that they can play games. Another fact to consider is that every gadget has its different characteristics and features which attract children to that specific thing and they don’t consider their family situation or financial position. Even my brother forced his mother to buy him a new phone just because to play games and now it has affected him by settings his mind in an unexpected way. However, he spends most of the time playing mobile games. For him, the game is more important than his family. He spends all his pocket money to buy data packs in order to play games online. It has changed his mindset, thoughts, as well as behavior. Some video games teach kids the wrong values including violent behavior and aggression. Additionally, it also affects academics and their studies.

जीवनको लक्ष्य
- Muskan Singh - 2023005, Grade ... 02 March, 2021

उद्देश्यविनाको जीवन निरर्थक हुन्छ । मानिसले जीवनमा कुनै न कुनै लक्ष्य लिएरै जन्मेका हुन्छन् । हरेक मानिसको लक्ष्य हुन्छ । हामीले आफूमा भएको क्षमतालाई  बुझेर आफ्नो लक्ष्य पूरा गर्नतिर लाग्नुपर्छ । लक्ष्य प्राप्त गर्दा धेरै बाधाहरू  आउँछन् ।  हामी त्यसबाट विचलित हुनुहुँदैन । उदाहरणको रूपमा  राष्ट्र निर्माता पृथिवी नारायण  शाह, नेपोलियन बोनापार्ट, अब्राहम लिङ्कन, नेल्सन मन्डेला  आदिलाई लिन सक्छौँ । उनीहरूले आफ्नो लक्ष्य प्राप्त गर्न धेरै कठिनाइ सामना गर्नुपरेको थियो । त्यसैगरी हामीले पनि हरेस नखाई  अफ्नो लक्ष्य पूरा गर्न आजदेखि नै लाग्नुपर्छ । 

संसारमा हेरक मानिस केही न केही सिप र कला लिएर जन्मेका हुन्छन् । हामीमा पनि त्यस्तै केही न केही सिप  र कला छ । हामीले आफ्नो कला र सिपलाई चिन्न सक्नुपर्छ । हाम्रा कला वा सिप साना ठुला जुनसुकै हुन सक्छन् । जीवनमा लक्ष्य चुन्न गाह्रो हुन सक्छ तर हाम्रो सिपले हामीलाई अगाडि बढ्न धेरै मौका  दिइरहेको हुन्छ । 

बाल्यकालमा हरेक व्यक्तिले एक न एक सपना देखेका हुन्छन् । कोही चिकित्सक, इन्जिनियर,नर्स, बन्न चाहन्छन्  त कोही शिक्षक, पाइलट , पत्रकार, आर्मी, प्रहरी, समाजसेवी आदि बन्न चाहन्छन् । आफ्नो जीवनमा जे  बने  पनि त्यसमा लगाव हुनुपर्छ। अरूको लहलहैमा लागेर अथवा कसैको करकापमा परेर लक्ष्य बनाउनु हुँदैन । अरूको देखासिकी र करकापमा परेर म यो बन्छु र त्यो बन्छु भन्नु हुँदैन । यसले भविष्यमा नकारात्मक परिणाम पनि ल्याउन सक्छ । त्यसैले आफ्नो जीवनको लक्ष्य आफैँ छनोट गर्नुपर्छ ।

‘My View on Teenage Life’
- Deelisha Maharjan - 2022006, ... 02 March, 2021

Basically, teenage life starts from the age of 12 and ends at 19. This stage is often known as the stage which is a passage to one’s adult life. This is known as the stage which plays a vital role in everyone’s life. Everyone who is an adult now, or a senior went through their teenage stage and everybody has a different perspective on the teenage stage. Well, I too have a different view on teenage life as me being a teenager.

I observed a lot of things in my teenage life and am still observing more. Well, in this life, most teenagers get depressed, anxious, and other mental health illnesses. Teenagers feel like they are treated indifferently. In this teenage life, there are many barriers of teenagers with everyone, especially with their families and friends. I have seen that and I know that because sometimes I also create barriers between friends and my families. In teenage life, there are a lot of outgoing things and thoughts in their mind. The most common thing I felt was about having physical attraction with the opposite sex which we call it liking someone or having a crush or even falling in love. Most teenagers face these situations. Having a crush on someone is normal and even liking and loving is also normal. But people often see this topic as really a bad thing which is absolutely wrong. They make fun of it and just criticize others. Why do the people of our society against everything that plays an important role in a teenager's life? Why do they think having a crush on someone or falling for someone is bad? Why is it wrong to have a guy's best friend rather than not having a girl's best friend for the teenagers? They expect us to act like adults but then they treat us like children.

In this teenage life, I had a lot of experiences although I am just 16 right now. In this stage, many teenagers feel insecure about everything happening around them and even hate themselves for many reasons and start to compare themselves with others. In this stage, teenagers often seek more privacy as they know what they feel and are struggling through and the parents should also understand them. Not only parents should understand them but teenagers should also equally understand their parents. What you do to others is the same response from them to you. Teenagers are really emotionally active because of many issues. They have a hard time opening up to others and are very good at hiding their feelings too.

This stage is really a crucial part and also a happy part of a person’s life.  In this teenage life, your friends leave you, you don’t get good grades, you are rejected, you are left out, you are ignored, and you are shown to act fake from the close people in your life. These problems all lead to depression, anxiety, stress, and more serious mental illness. Many teenagers even commit suicide because of those problems in their life. We people need to behave properly not only with teenagers but everyone because we never know what they are going through.

In teenage life, there is big insecurity of not being good enough in everyone’s eyes, especially with a family as they have high expectations from teenagers. Teenagers are compared to each other and that is the most disturbing thing you will ever face as that creates a lot of anxiety for a teenager inside. This is to all the teenagers, that it is fine to be not good enough as being you is enough. It is okay to make mistakes, like someone, get bad grades but you should keep in your mind that you must never give up. You need to fight for yourself and strive for success. You need to love everything about you and others' opinion is none of your concern. That is all I know what I think of teenage life being a teenager.

Pregnancy in Adolescence
- Bipana Shrestha - 2023003, Gr ... 01 March, 2021

Pregnancy in adolescence means the act of minors getting pregnant. When teenagers from the age of 14 to 19 get pregnant it is known as pregnancy in adolescence. It can also be called teenage pregnancy. Pregnancy in adolescence is pretty similar to a normal pregnancy but it carries risks since the teenager’s life can be in danger since they are less likely to be physically developed to sustain a healthy pregnancy or to give birth. The baby can also get born unhealthy and malnourished in such cases. This kind of pregnancy also has negative effects.

Teenage pregnancy in developed countries is usually outside of marriage while teenage pregnancy in developing countries often occurs within marriage. Getting pregnant is one’s teenage years can hamper them in many aspects. The first and the important one is with their education. When a teenager gets pregnant it affects their studies and disturbs them. Many teenagers have even dropped out of high school and discontinued their studies after getting pregnant. This also decreases career opportunities for them. Prenatal and maternal health also matters a lot in teenage pregnancy. The baby might become unhealthy and the mother's health can be at risk too. This will put both the baby’s and the mother’s life at risk. And after giving birth, the baby needs the utmost care, which a teenager might not be able to handle.

Moreover, getting pregnant at teen is not something that is recommended. As mentioned above, the baby’s health and the mother’s health can be in danger and it also violates reproductive rights. We can control teenage pregnancy by spreading awareness and by practicing safe sexual behavior mentioned in sex education.

In my opinion teen pregnancy or adolescent pregnancy is not something that should be banned but adolescents must take measures to avoid it as much as possible as adolescents themselves cannot answer their problems and to top it off having a child to bear at such a young age would be really difficult. But if adolescent pregnancy does occur, both the parties and parties' families must be willing to take full responsibility for the case. If both the parties are willing to abort the child, they must be taking a rightful decision that would not harm any of the parties. Many adolescents are carefree enough to harm the mother of the upcoming child by taking the wrong medicines to abort the baby and harm the female in general. This should be always avoided. And if both parties decide to keep the baby, the child must be taken care of properly both before and after the birth. But still, adolescent pregnancy should be avoided as much as possible. It is not recommended. Teens should be willing to take responsibility for the action.

Thus, even though adolescent pregnancy is not much reported and is not discussed much, it should be avoided as much as possible as the consequences it brings are endless. Even though in my opinion it should not be banned, it should certainly be controlled.

विज्ञानको देन
- Himani Bhattarai - 2023017, G ... 28 February, 2021

आजको युग विज्ञानको युग हो । विज्ञान सम्मत ज्ञान नै विज्ञान हो । अहिले विज्ञानले  मानवका हरेक कार्यलाई सहज र सरल बनाइदिएको छ । आजको संसारमा विज्ञानले महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका खेलेको छ । विज्ञानविनाको संसारको कल्पना गर्न सकिँदैन। मानिसलाई ढुङ्गे युगबाट आधुनिक युगमा ल्याउन  विज्ञानकै देन रहेको छ। 

विज्ञानका नयाँ नयाँ आविष्कारले गर्दा नै मानिस पृथिवीभन्दा बाहिर अन्तरिक्षमा पुगिसकेको छ । ग्रह, उपग्रहलगायत अनेकौँ कुराको खोजी गरेको छ । अहिले संसारमा जे जति उपलब्धी र आविष्कार  भएका  छन् ती सबै विज्ञानका देन हुन् । अहिले मानिस एउटा कोठाभित्र बसेर विश्वका गतिविधि नियाल्न सक्छ। विश्वमा कहाँ के भइरहेको छ सबै कुरा थाह पाउन सक्छ। मानिस एक ठाउँबाट अर्को ठाउँमा जान महिनौँ दिन लाग्थ्यो तर आज केही घण्टा वा मिनेटमै पुग्न थालेको छ। बस, ट्रक, जहाज जस्ता सवारी साधनका कारण मानिसको दैनिकी निकै सहज भएको छ ।  घर,अफिस,अस्पताल, कलकारखानालगायत हरेक क्षेत्रका काम विज्ञानका सहायताले  छिटो छरितो बन्दै गइरहेका छन् । 

पहिले पहिले मानिसको मृत्यु हुँदा कुन रोग लागेर भयो भन्ने कुरासमेत थाहा हुँदैनथ्यो । विज्ञानको विकास हुँदै जाँदा रोगका साथै औषधीसमेत  पत्ता लाग्यो र मानिस अकालबाट बच्न थाल्यो । विभिन्न प्राणघातक क्यान्सर, एड्स जस्ता रोगको उपचारमासमेत  विज्ञानले अनुसन्धान गरिरहेको छ । हालको विश्व महामारी कोरोना भाइरसको खोप निर्माण हुनु विज्ञानको देन हो । शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, यातायात, सञ्चार ऊर्जालगायत हरेक क्षेत्रमा जे जति उन्नति र विकास भएको छ त्यो सबै विज्ञानको देन हो।  त्यसैले विज्ञान भनेको मानिसको जीवनको सारथी हो।

Social Media Persona
- Aryan Thagunna - 2022003, Gra ... 28 February, 2021

The place where kids flex about almost anything. Social Media. Ever wondered how social media portrays one’s life? It gives a one-dimensional perspective on someone's life. It is a perfect representation of having complete control over our life. We can show what we want and present ourselves however we want others to think of us. This sometimes changes a person drastically creating different personalities while on and off social media.
 

We often hear about the different personalities humans have. One we show to everyone from our closest friend to a complete stranger selling us chocolate, the other one we show to our friends and families, and the final one which we show no one. Well, you can add social media personality to that list. Or rather it perfectly fits itself within the personality we show the outer world. Our social media presence creates a person carefully molded by ourselves. This person loves Starbucks, only shops from Gucci, and is a massive Kylie Jenner fan. We can make them whoever we want, however, we want.
 

A massive factor that contributes to the fake presentation of us individuals online is that it is too social. You want everyone to see what you eat, wear, drive, celebrate, read, etc. This causes people to grow self-conscious and care more about what others think. Our online persona becomes the driving factor of everything we do in our ‘normal’ daily life. A great example is a trend of following the trend. When everyone decides that rap is cool again and is THE type of music you want to listen to currently, many individuals hop on the trend. It doesn’t matter what their music taste is or if they even like rap. They will listen to rap, show everyone what song they’re listening to on social media, adding an extra trait to their online persona.
 

Almost everyone on social media is affected by this problem. Stressing over what other people think of you based on what you show them causes split personality on and off social media. A person who loves traditional music (in the context of Nepal) is made fun of so you don't see people in social media vibing to the latest Folk song. Social media has created standards of not only what we must eat, listen to, wear but is also changing the perception of people on physical qualities. Social media holds the power to decide what beautiful, attractive, or appropriate is. This hugely contributes to the different personalities a person has. Our personality online is influenced by trends, celebrities, and peers.

Talking about myself, I use social media but the last time I showed the world what was going on in my life was ages ago (5 years to be precise). This doesn’t mean that social media personalities have not affected me. Evaluating myself based on the difference in my personality on and off social media, I’ve noticed that the way I go about doing things differently. And although not much is different my online persona influences what I am doing off social media. The personality we show no one comes out in social media and lucky for us, we can create however we want it to be.
