ESSAY
Social evils are present in every country. Even the developed countries
like America and Britain suffer from them. In Pakistan, social evils
have developed into an institution. Social evils surround us like
diseased tress. They are many causes for the growth and spread of
social evils.
Firstly, the unfair and imbalance distribution of wealth is at the root of every social evil.
Secondly, the people are Pakistan are greedy and ambitious of
collecting wealth by fair and foul means. They have become selfish. They
have bidden good bye to the life of simplicity and contentment. Their
excessive fondness for collecting worldly gains has given birth to many
social evils.
Social evils eat the very
root of every civilized society. They cause great loss to the peace and
happiness of people. They generate an atmosphere of disorder, anarchy
and injustice. The forces of injustice and evil have a sway. A society
surrounded by evils remains backward forever. Its growth becomes
stunted. It ceases to have the spark of creativity and growth. Such a
society becomes a curse for mankind.
There are many social evils which have eaten the very roots of our society,. They are listed below.
Bribery and corruption have become a routine matter in every office, department and field of life. Favouritism and nepotism
exist everywhere. This has defeated the very concept of justice in
Pakistan. It has blackened the face of merit in every walk of life. It
has put a stop to true progress, equality and development.
Hoarding and black-marketing
are the twin evils that cause abnormal inflation. The black marketeers
are the enemies of people. They are traitors. They cause the shortage of
foodstuff and are responsible for the increase of prices of different
commodities.
Smuggling is an
other social evil which is very harmful to society. The smugglers cause
great harm to the economy of country. Foreign goods are smuggled into
the country on a large scale. Consequently the local industry, business
or agriculture suffer. The government cannot collect taxes on the
smuggled goods. Sometimes inferior goods are smuggled and the government
cannot exercise any control on them. Therefore inferior goods as
medicine, foodstuff may cause a serious damage to human health.
Adulteration
is an other social evil which is very harmful to society. The
adulterators mix cheap and harmful things in food items like milk,
honey, spices, pulses and wheat etc. They play with the health of the
people. They are a curse to society.
Lavish expenditure
on ceremonies like marriages like marriages and funerals have become
the order of the day. Rich people make a show of their wealth on the
marriage of their children. It causes a sense of deprivation among the
people. Moreover, this reflects an attitude which feeds on greed,
selfishness and vanity. The wastage of wealth for the fulfillment of
such bad customs cannot be approved by any sane person.
Social evils like gambling, horse racing, honour killing, drinking are a rampant in our society.
Social evils are widespread because of ignorance, illiteracy,
poverty and injustice. We can eliminate these social evils by two ways;
by the enforcement of law and by educating the people against the harms
through electronic media.
