Caste and class system

Basically there is no caste and class based priorities in our religion.The one who is pious is sacred in the eyes of God.As Islam preaches equality,justice and fair play.
But we have lived in Indian subcontinent for ages so we have inherited their norms and values which are still part of our system after so many years of partition.Caste rigidity  is followed by certain segment of our society but as people get educated and refined they don't follow such dividing norms.similarly class system is a big evil which generate restlessness among the people by not allowing equal opportunities to all.So this polarisation has resulted in low HDI.

Globalisation vs Culture

Technological advancement in communication and transportation in 21st century has speeded up globalisation. Different countries have adopted commercial trade routes like CPEC and experienced cultural diversities.Resultantly all the cultures are penetrated in to each other and forming  a new hybrid culture. With the help of social media like Facebook,Instagram  YouTube and Skype people are more interconnected with each other.Now we are citizens of world due to globalisation. 21st century 'homosapien has made the world a global village by acquiring digi skills.

    The Immune System is the body’s defense against infection.To understand how COVID-19 vaccines work, it helps to first look at how our bodies fight illness. When germs, such as the virus that causes COVID-19, invade our bodies, they attack and multiply. This invasion, called an infection, is what causes illness. Our immune system uses several tools to fight infection. Blood contains red cells, which carry oxygen to tissues and organs, and white or immune cells, which fight infection. Different types of white blood cells fight infection in different ways: Macrophages are white blood cells that swallow up and digest germs and dead or dying cells. The macrophages leave behin d parts of the invading germs, called “antigens”. The body identifies antigens as dangerous and stimulates antibodies to attack them. B-lymphocytes are defensive white blood cells. They produce antibodies that attack the pieces of the virus left behind by the macrophages. T-lymphocytes are another type ...

We reinforce those habits day by day and step by step in our daily life.Old habits allow us to get in to bad habits sometimes socially and sometimes unintentionally.  Perhaps we fear change and we are scared of alternatives to speculate as long as we get what we savour and delight in. Good habits We develop good habits in our childhood like namaz,book reading, honestly,truthfulness,respect elders and hardworking.  Bad habits   Lying,steeling,smoking, misbehaving are the habits which are not acceptable in any society or culture.  Nail Biting   One of the bad habit that people in general have is nail biting.If I say that i am not one of them,I would be lying.I found myself in that bad habit. I bite my nail in nervousness and frustration.My fingers look extremely bad and that day i decided to break this habit.I bought nail colors and promise myself to grow them and paint them.
