Sense of belonging as it specifically relates to higher education.

Studies find that belonging relates to purpose, and it’s a human being’s nature that wherever he needs something which feed him for living. Likewise, people find belonging related to their own test. Some find it in sports, politics or religion. The most important thing his survival should be guaranteed, otherwise, he feels isolated, alone and an anxiety. Students also have feelings of belonging when they are learning and advancing towards higher education. Sometimes, a sense of belonging comes from their educational background, economic situation, cultural values, same language, social support and confidence level. Further, it also depends on the selection of their subjects, programs and degrees or occupations. The concepts of  ‘to belong’  and  ‘belonging’  for students matter for their social and environmental support which feels them that they are a part of the institution or department.  In this way they find more knowledge to enhance their relation and work on their communication to relate to atmosphere, which gives the capability of belonging. Moreover, having confidence to be a part of a team increases a student’s energy for learning and staying in university for the completion of a degree.

Further, the acceptance by their educational institution helps students from different social, economic and cultural backgrounds to feel belonging or being part of the institution. Studies also suggest that good educational system improves the learning quality of a student and increases a student’s feeling of belonging with the selected discipline and university.

Research finds that the staff of the educational institutes should be cooperative and helpful with students. Example: If students meet any difficulty during their studies, such as a physical or psychological disturbance, it helps them if they know that they are not isolated and alone. It helps them if they feel that the university and its member are like family members without discrimination.

Should we trust 100% on driverless cars?

When we talk or write about technology, we should know the uses of it as well.  Like, now a day’s, technology has put another step-in car manufacturing industry, which is trying to reduce human efforts and providing them comfortable driving. On the other hand, road safety and driving carefully is an important thing. Careless driving compels humans to visit courts (McMahan, M 2017). The technological revolution in cars reduces human loss and traffic accidents but it cannot take full trust of human in driving field.

The research shows that the absence of human driver in car does not make any solid reason, because when a human wants to enjoy a driverless car and faces a traffic accident who should be found guilty? Some of the car manufacturer companies insist this point, that our car is full of technological system, but we cannot give full guaranty of safety. It means that human driver needs to know hot drive and not to depend totally on technology which is fitted in the car.

Moreover, in the 21st century, humans have got used to semi technological systems in their cars, but these are not 100% trustworthy. This kind of technology got access to make its place only in miner situation, but it cannot protect human life. In contrast, the car manufacturers informed their costumers that they should not depend totally on technology which is fitted in their cars, otherwise they may face legal charges or physical losses.

Consequently, having technological systems in cars and enjoying their uses is not wrong but relaying completely on technology puts human lives in danger or risks that the drivers are committing offence. Many reports and evidence have proved that many accidents happen because the driver is relaying on the auto mode or other facilities of automatic cars.

Do the neighborhoods in which people live have an impact on their health?

Healthy body needs healthy environment, and this comes having good surroundings or neighborhoods. Good neighborhoods mean you are clean from anxiety and disease. In social life people like to walk freely and love to have good atmosphere around. Further, In the past people faced many problems because of poverty and social economic status but with the passage of time people changed their lifestyle. They like to choose best location to have a quality of life. They become aware the importance of good neighborhoods and having a peaceful life within a nice society. Moreover, society have multiple type of culture, which impact directly to living people and it includes language, religion, cast, lifestyle and class. Regarding facilitated society, which cover pour water, fresh air and less population, which count under the umbrella of being in good neighborhoods.

In addition, the study of culture also explains for us that society with good culture produces good character and good character mean nice personality. For example: A society with such type of disadvantages like, drug dealing, smuggling, assault, sex abuse and domestic violence; all of these are barrier for building quality society and improving neighborhoods. Further, societies having large number of child and adults with high crime rates and violence polluted the environment of a society. On the other hand, a good neighborhood culture helped individuals to build better habits like to save their incomes and investing on education and supports all the government social work to build a disciplined society. The relationship between culture and its impact on people is so strong. A religious culture shape the lifestyle of people religiously and the impact of it, is not limited but it influences on neighborhoods. Looking positively, religion can play as a motivational force to build good neighborhood. It also helps to educate the children with manner, strong and long live marriages, to decrees the crime rate and building good behavior relationship with neighbors. For example: People were taught in childhood in Church that pay respect to your family and others, not to abuse and obey the law of a country. It doesn’t matter which color people have, which language neighbors speaks and from which ethnicity he or she belongs to, it is their culture and religion, which teaches to live with love and harmony.

As people are social animal they cannot live without each other. They need each other’s helps in every step of their life. If it is in the field of shaping a good neighborhood or family. They need hands to keep them motivated, healthy environment, quality education to fulfill their problems and guides of an experienced neighbor to makes their life energetic. They need good food for their survival and peaceful neighborhoods for having healthy life. We know that human learn and adopt their habits. They are always on learning process to make themselves healthy. They sacrifice many things to have a smart and beautiful society, which help them to keep their lives healthy and they love to see their new generation better and healthier.

Smacking Children

This is based on research and humanitarian perspective.

First, we should know that what is law and why we need it, who makes law and by home it may apply? Law is something, to give just to innocents and punishment to the criminals. It is an authority, promise, fact, and an argument. A country or society without law cannot be peaceful because everyone is the greedy of power and impose their own well on poor class, which bring hegemony in the society. Law is written form which passed in parliament by politicians, who are the representative of their people (Gearty 2019).  A Developed and civilized societies know the value of law. They know that law limited their freedom, but it gives safety and peaceful environment.

In addition, the beauty of life is having children and they are their parents hope. Wealth and children are adornment of the worldly life. On the other hand, parents have some rights to their children and vis versa. Children are not mentally perfect; mistakes can be expected. They need time and good atmosphere to play a good role at home or in society. Children are in a process of learning and they cannot compare the quality of their activities. They need supervision for guides, and parents are the one who can play vital role to their children’s life. Mostly children understand soft languages, but sometime parents compelled to apply force to maintain peace and disciplined environment in home.

It should not be a criminal offence for parents who smack their children for correction, education and discipline; law should be soft during monitoring parents. But they should not be allowed to kill their children for the sack of discipline or poverty and their killing is a sin (Quran).

Why refugees should be invited?

Australia is the seventh continent in the world, which cover the land area of about 7.692 million square kilometers and according to 2017 census the total population of this land was 24.6 million. This land has the capacity to support people by inviting refugees. Firstly, refugee helps the native to increase the population and develop understanding through cultural exchange; like music, food, traditional dance, dresses and more. Secondly, as we are living in 21st century and countries known with their economic power, refugee may contribute more beautifully to the economy. Policy maker of all countries are trying to help the government to develop their economy, here refugee as a source to give hands to the government for achieving this goal. For example: By inviting refugee the government may charge an amount of money for their visas, insurance policy, and on their settlement. Moreover, we know that economy is the crucial part, so here government may take work from refugee as a medium to help the country to have a good position among the developed countries. Like, giving job to refugee and charge an amount of tax every year and in return providing them a peaceful atmospheric life, which proved to them, that they are living in a develop and loving countr

Furthermore, refugees are affected, they come from war zone. As they have peaceful atmosphere they work on their children’s education. Their priority after settlement, to educate their youth and children with quality education. In addition, they are competitive in construction and farming field. They like to take part in building of Australian society, hospitality, sports, as a representative of country, an academician and more.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
