Over population in major urban centers around the world is a major issue. What are the problems of this? What can be done to solve the issue?

---

 

Many countries in the world are currently experiencing growing populations in urban areas. This has caused issues of accommodations and increased crime rates, in cities. However, measures like community projects or government initiatives can help in curbing the problem.

Increased density of population in cities has caused several dilemmas. Firstly, over population has led to overcrowding and poor quality housing in large cities. This can cause cause significant health problems, resulting in illness, such as bronchitis or pneumonia. Another serious consequence of over crowding is the increased crime rates as people living in damped conditions are often desperate to improve their situations and often take the path of crime.

The best way to solve this is provide essential housing and healthcare for all citizens. Although it is difficult, but with proper planning and correct steps, government can surely solve this issue. For instance, Chandigarh, the only planned city in India, although is highly populated but not faces any issues of over crowding. Secondly, setting up community projects to help foster more community spirit can help people provide healthy environment, reducing the crime rates. Often people in city feel quite emaciated and alone, communities can help provide support.

Overall,  it is clear that the problems caused by overpopulation in urban areas are very serious. However, if governments and individuals take collective responsibility , then it is possible to provide some pragmatic solutions to solve the issue.

Many small, local shops are closing as they are unable to compete with large supermarkets in the area. How does this effect local communities? How can this situation be improved?

With the coming of globalisation and digitalisation, the world has changed the way it did business. Unlike the traditional ways, people have now moved towards the new way of shopping, which include, either online shopping or buying things from malls. This shift, from the local market to the super market, has left the local vendors disappointed.

Globalisation although opened the doors for bigger and better business, it has led to the death of the local business. The major impact was seen in the local garments factories. With the coming of bigger brands to the home, people have stopped buying things made from their own country, leaving local vendors broken.  Secondly, the sudden change has had a sharp impact on poor businessmen. For example, a person having a small shop, who barely met his meets, with the arrival of big players, is left with only one choice and that is to leave the business.

The most effective solution to this problem, could be to pool the resources with other local business of your kind and be big enough. For instance, if there are seven local vegetable sellers, instead of competing separately, they can open one vegetable shop together. This way they can provide better services and higher gains. Secondly, government needs to pull up the socks and make sure every one gets their due benefits.

Overall, although gloablisation brought with its great benefits for customers, it has acted as the devil for the local businessmen and the only way they can survive is by uniting together to be better than the supermarkets.

Over the last few decades, the media has projected the image of women as young and thin.
What problems has this caused?
What solutions can you suggest to this?

---

 

Media in the changing times has played a very crucial role in defining the decisions made by people. With coming of the digital era and Internet, people are highly dependent on  advertisements to make changes in their lifestyle. One such change that has been observed, is that women are now trying to be slim because the notion that things girls are pretty has grounded people’s mind set. This has given rise to a new set of issues.

Firstly, with portraying slick women as the epitome of femininity, the society in large, makes the women question about themselves. This has caused a shift in the minds, from the importance of being healthy to be rather slim, even if it is at the price of becoming unhealthy. Secondly, this has caused a negative psychology among young girls, who if are fat, look upon themselves as inferior to the ones who are slim. The age when children are supposed to learn and explore the world, the hassles of body, could be quite disheartening.

The most effective solution could be making deliberate attempt, to show all women are beautiful. Movies, advertisements or songs, should portray women as human beings, who could be either fat, short, black, slim, fair or whatever, and yet be successful. This method could act as a counteract to the present notion.

Overall, often media forgets the importance it plays in the lives of people, and takes irresponsible steps. But, if the media tries again, the notions present could be changed for better.
