What is the reason for depression that most of the people of today's generation are suffering from?

Nowadays, depression is the most common word in today's generation. So, what is it? Depression is a mental health disorder that creates feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and lack of interest in any type of activity. It can affect physically and mentally. The reasons for depression vary among individuals also there is no specific reason for it. However, social media is a common factor that is contributing to depression in today's generation in many ways. It is a platform that showcases people's lives but not everything is realistic at all times. This allows persons to present a selective and edited version of their lives. Others may compare their lives with that filtered realities and this contributes to unrealistic expectations that create depression among them. Besides this, there is a tendency among people that try to seek attention on social media. The pursuit of likes, comments, and followers impacts negatively when they can't fulfill the expectations and get depressed. Again, fear of missing out(FOMO) is a vital reason for depression in social media. Social media constantly updates people's stories, achievements, and also what they are doing and having, which could trigger others' satisfaction. They start to compare with others' lives. It makes them feel like they are missing out on important experiences and drives them to depression cause they can't satisfied with their own life. Also, social media creates an addiction that people spend a lot of time and keep away from reality. This may create distance among people in real life. For this reason, they feel lonely and isolated, which can contribute to depression. Social media offers constant communication with all that may blur the boundaries between work, social life, and personal time. This lack of separation may cause stress and that also contributes to depression. Another common fact of depression caused by social media is cyberbullying and harassment. Negative comments or trolling can lead to significant emotional distress. Moreover, social media harassment may have a serious impact on mental health. Sometimes it may drive victims to commit suicide. So, it's a serious cause of depression. In addition, excessive use of social media may cause addiction. These addicted people spend a lot of time on online sites. That hampers their sleep schedule. This lack of sleep is a vital cause of contributing to depression. We can see that, nowadays social media plays a vital role in increasing depression among today's generation. So we have to be careful and conscious about using social media. Also, we should prioritize mental well-being and create a positive digital environment for all.

Will the lives of street animals ever be safe?

                 Will the lives of street animals ever be safe? Name- Lubaba Ruksat  Student Id- 23201197 Section- M30  As an animal lover it is heartbreaking for me to witness the horrifying state of street animals. There are about forty thousand stray dogs and countless stray cats in our country. And most of them spend their whole life eating garbage and getting beaten by people. Even though many NGOs and local people feed the animals, the amount of  support is way less than the number of animals living on the streets. Not to mention, the harsh behavior of people towards the street animals.  Furthermore, the majority of street animals are malnourished. Their one of the only sources of food is garbage containers. And due to hunger they eat whatever they can swallow which can also be plastic and rocks, which is very harmful to them. Again, everyday more than a few animals get murdered or injured while passing the road. Des...

People lived in a tribe and shared responsibilities, therefore everyone had a part in the survival and nourishment of everyone around him.

Younger generations might miss out on developing vital social skills because they spend more time chatting online than meeting in person. The way we talk, u...

Brushing Through My Palette Of Imagination In The Silent Language Of Art

Image
Art is the proof of living,that you have lived once and you have felt once. A mirror reflecting the diversity of human experiences is a good definition of art.It mostly serves as a demonstration to the richness of the wide human imagination and the limitless possibilities of creative expression. My journey with art began from a very early age when my parents saw me drawing spiders and flowers and admitted me to a neighbourhood art school. And this school did not just introduce me with the freedom of my imagination but also became my second home that teaches me how to find comfort in the stroke of a paint brush and how limitless human experience could be! The most unique thing about art is that there's no rules or structural clock. As a child I drew everything wrong until I discovered there's no right or wrong in art. I had no idea that the wrong paint could be so rightfully beautiful and that just made me feel the most humane I've ever felt in my entire life. All forms of ...
