HUMAN DISEASES Versus SOCIAL DISEASES

The various forms of diseases that are being struck to the human beings eversince the genisis of mankind is well known to us and cure to various traditional and modern diseases have always been available either partially or completely through various bitter and sweet medicines available under the different systems of Medicines such as Allopathy, Homeopathy, Ayurvedic, Siddha, Unani, Naturopathy etc., Right from common fever to deadly cancer the cure is available in the Modern Medicine through internal and external applications, and billions of dollors are also being spent on modern scientific research to find out advanced medicines to cure strange modern diseases.  

But no substantial and effective medicines are invented for the various forms of “Social Diseases” that are plaguing our human Society since long time. The Social Diseases that are quite different from physical human diseases are the diseases that are generated in the human brains and spread through out the society illegally and legally as well. For instance, the prostitution and spreading of pornography is an illegal activity but dancing in a semi-nude way with sexually provocative postures/gestures is a legal activity promoted by Government Censor Boards in every country. So both public and governments are spreading these social diseases equally.

The prominent Social diseases, such as voluntary prostitution, eve-teasing, rape, dancing in semi-nude dresses and nude manner by artists in film songs in sexually provocative manner; transmitting pornography through Internet; taking bribes; taking salaries from public exchequer and evading officials duties; illegally acquiring properties by misusing the governmental power; polluting environment; digging mines deep into earth to destroy the natural earth layers; extracting oil and gas indiscriminately from the “mother earth” with selfishness to amass more and more money to become world’s richest;  creating ecological imbalances by dangerous so called scientific research; unsocial behaviour; jealousy/envy; high headedness; aggressive assaults; murders; cheating; resorting to anykind of wreched things to acquire easy-money such as manufacturing duplicate medicines; terrorism; duping the public by giving alluring advertisements by using nude and semi-nude women photos; publishing semi-nude photographs of women in magazines and news papers to enhance their circulation to earn more and more money; publishing sexually alluring stories; giving wrong judgements and showing nepotism by sitting in the chair of Judges; subjecting the people to harassment by wrong enactments and adopting wrong policies; booth capturing; adultrating the food items; polluting the water, air, and earth; manufacturing dreadly arms; falicitating each other with awards and rewards for the no real achievements or services done to mankind or to the society; promoting hatred among the religions and nations; terrorism; duping the public with wrong proposals and policies; preaching before the public ethics and doing unethical and corrupt deeds behind the curtain; and so and what not that are plauging the society every day.  

No human being is exempted from suffering with these Social Diseases as is in the case of Physical Diseases. But the main difference between the Human Diseases and Social Diseases is, while the former causes individual suffereing in many instances, except in the cases of contagious diseases, the later cause suffering as a whole to the society, because participation of several individuals contribute for the Social Diseases. Even though law executing clinics are established to control/cure these social diseases, but they have deep-rooted and have become highly chronic in the society and it has become very difficult to cure/repair these social diseases through such feeble institutions. Because the persons who are supposed to cure those social diseases themselves are entangled and and contributing for such deadly social diseases.

So, these kinds of Social Diseases that are plagueing our society are to be cured or to be controlled at least to some extent by way ‘severe criticism’ and ‘self-criticism’ which are the bitter medicines. ‘Criticism’ of these Social Diseases is required from time to time to avoid complete decay of our human society with ever spreading social diseases.  Self-criticism, critical review of our dangerous activities is a sign of strength for betterment of our lives and to get rid of such diseases and to find out better solutions to the social diseases. Otherwise both the human/physical and social diseases wipe out the mankind sooner but not much later.  By  dchaitanya
