Essay:
………….. is a burning issue of today that has affected national integrity, mental
health and social morality of the whole nation abundantly.

Modern age is the age of enlightenment, education, democracy and scientific

progress. Educational, intellectual and economic reforms are the hallmark of
emerging global world. Man has not only conquered space but is also trying to
capture the galaxies. Contradictory to this advancement poverty is going on and on.
Scientific progress has created a chaos in the world partially by gulping down the
natural resources and partially by disturbing the environment. Thus the problems of
modern age are no more different from the traditional problems of mankind. The only
difference is the magnitude and disaster that is no doubt far reaching than the past.
Use of more and more fuel, production of poisonous gases and smoke, utilization of
chemicals have disturbed environmental equilibrium on one side and on the other
side have created an imbalance in society. As a result the problems like Energy Crisis,
Lack of Employment, Insufficient Availability of Water and Eatables, …………etc.
are more disastrous. These problems become more devastating when faced by the
third world countries like Pakistan.

The causes behind these problems are the same i.e. mass illiteracy, poverty, lack of
planning, halting democracies, economic instability and institutional insecurity. Men
at the helm of affairs (Authorities), civil society and Media all are responsible for the
unchecked spread of this troublesome situation.

……………. is disturbing common man as well as government institutions. Stability

of the government is at stake. It is a slur upon the performance of federal as well as
provincial policy makers. Planning departments and foreign consultants are facing a
question mark and their helplessness knows no bounds. The gulf between the poor
and the rich is widening because of …………… . Economic growth has been eclipsed
and unemployment is out of control. Confrontation among masses and discredit of
government is leading towards civil disobedience. According to a writer,
“Modern man has become divorced of natural feelings.”

Protests, Lock outs, strikes and demonstrations have become a common practice in
almost all parts of the country. Law and order situation owes much to this …………..
.

Sincere efforts are needed. The responsibility is on the shoulders of politicians,

bureaucracy and civil society as well. Past governments ignored the call of time and
showed negligence by not taking serious steps. If present authorities also pay a deaf
ear to the deplorable situation, the circumstances would become so horrible.

An elaborate system of control is needed to check this devastating situation.

Following steps may prove helpful to do away with this ……………

1. The government should decide suitable steps after consulting opposition and
concerned welfare organizations.
2. Mass media should play an active and sincere role not only to highlight the
problems but also by suggesting practicable measures and by criticizing
constructively.
3. The public should be made aware of the situation and should be educated
accordingly.
4. Concerned agencies should be made active and alert.
5. Long term plans should be evolved to prepare for the future calls.

Pakistan has always been rich in talent of every type. Our progress in different fields
is no longer a secret. If we become serious as a nation exploration of the new
resources and utilization of available resources is not impossible. We shall have to
rise up collectively and struggle to make our mark in the history of living nations.
Otherwise our freedom, national integrity and our religious pride will be in danger
and history will never forgive us.

May Allah Almighty help us and bless us with the courage to succeed in solving all
the problems! (Amen)
