REFLECTION ON AUGUST NEWSLETTER

This time, I have worked as a reporter and have reported about the things happening in the Diploma Programme such as CAS work( service work in ashram),Talent show, election, status of students involved in making TOK presentations and extended  essay.


While reporting for the scenario of Diploma students, I felt that these days, they were too busy and tensed with the completion of the work assigned to them. For example making and giving TOK presentations, completion of extended essays.

Most students faced difficulty in completing their essay as some of them realized that their topic is not proper or they are unable to carry their research with that decided topic and there is a need to change the topic.
Some students went out of their town for the surveys and interviews.Because of which , they faced difficulty in completing their routine tasks.

But there were students, who have kept the deadline in their mind and have completed their essay on time and have submitted it to their advisors. At the same time, they have also given their TOK presentations to their teacher and have given it in the class also.


Even they also go to ashram for service work every Saturday for two hours and perform their tasks needfully. Even two of my classmates have taken part in the talent show, which was held in the school. Even, on 15th august, three students of diploma programme have become member of student council. Therefore everyone was involved in some or the other activity this month.


The learning outcome is that I became aware that, every one faces different kind of difficulty and one should just try to overcome it with easiness and should not lose hope. Once, even I was tensed with meeting of deadlines but as I started working with full pro activeness, I completed my essay and presentation on time .

CAMPAIGNING FOR REMOVAL OF FEMALE INFANTICIDE

Female infanticide is very common in many place of the country. People wishes for male child and adopt various method to have male child. Some questions always arise in my mind, such as how can a female abort a female child? How is she unable to understand the happiness a female child gives? How can she be so unkind to a new unborn baby? How can she forget that she herself is a female? Why doesn’t she think that if she would have been aborted by her parents during her birth time then?


Sometimes I think that she might be asked to do such crime under the dominance of her family or husband but still I think, doesn’t she have the dare to make her family understand? These all questions remain unanswered forever.


I also think that this happens mainly because of the poor thinking; people do not have the ability to think broadly. They think for themselves and for their own fortune. Why don’t they think that getting every baby is important and cheerful phase of life? There should not be any discrimination between genders. God have made genders for the different reasons such as different genders (males and females) act as a couple and stand in every obstacle together, they help each other, and they live for each other.


Just think once about only existence of male or females around the world, is it possible for one to survive? I don’t think so, the reason is simple, and women are associated with some work of life that men can’t do such as household work, care for her family, bringing up children. Can we expect this kind of roles from men? If yes, will they perform as efficiently as a woman does? Now answer is no. Everybody needs to accept the fact that women play a major role and their work is as equivalent and important to any other work done by men.


Even our Indian history has got so many female leaders who stood against so many men for the independence and freedom. Not only Indian histories but think about various women such Indira Gandhi, who did good things for the nation. Think about females who are involved in various sports, which are equally played by men. Today, if you look around, you will see various girls in different schools and colleges, who are learning and scoring same or more than boys. Then what is the need of cursing a female child? Why is it required? What makes you think that female child should be aborted?
Just try to think; if we give same importance and treatment as boys to girls, then don’t you think country’s productivity will be enhanced? It will increase the contribution to country’s development.
