Discuss the following in pairs
Empathy and understanding are going out of modern society. The individual experiences intense alienation from the society around him or her.
उत्तर
We have entered an era that feeds on globalisation. A world that is driven by fast technology. The age-old emotions and sentiments are all bygone. There is little time for empathy and understanding. An ordinary human's lifestyle has evolved, changing the ethics of our society. People are busy and work is immense and the pressure that a human undergoes leaves no time for her/him to ponder or wonder. A state that makes a human mechanical and lacking insensibility, which is overtaken by practicality. The concept of society has altered. The individual is alienated from society. Humans do contribute to society but not with cultural values but only by technological advancement. The sharing and dependence have evaporated from our culture and we have restricted our zone by not giving way to feelings of joy, sorrow, fear, or love anyway. Humans have resigned from such emotions and are resolute not to give in to them.
