The Families are becoming Isolated

Asaduzzaman Noor

Renowned cultural personality and the Minister of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs

There’s a school near my place. Every day, I stand in my balcony and see the mothers forcing their children to get inside the school. The children don’t want to go to school at that hour that too with such a heavy bag filled with books that they can’t even stand properly. The school is a three storey building without any playground or any playing field.

Nowadays, a kid’s life revolves around class, homework and cartoon. S/he doesn’t have any natural environment with rivers, fields, huge blue sky, numerous flying birds, colorful flowers etc. They don’t even get to spend much time with their parents either. Not just parent, people don’t even have time for spouses these days. Everyone is busy watching sports and serials. And this is how the families are getting isolated, the individuals are getting detached.

Few days back, the honorable prime minister said that only academic education is not enough for the children. We must create opportunities for them to develop their cultural and other aspects; help them become all rounder. Because if his emotions are guided on the wrong path he could turn into a monster than a good human being! And we don’t want monstrous society but a humane one.
