CIVIC SENSE
SUMMARY ON CIVIC SENSE
The important point to be considered in
civic sense is gender equality. In India, a society that has a skewed gender
ratio that favours men, there is a notable element of disrespect. Indian women,
daily are harassed. This harassment comes in many forms, from starting to lewd
and lecherous comments to physically groping or attacking a woman. It is not
uncommon to find in the newspapers a report of an Indian man or group of men
abusing a woman – the most notable incident involving the women in Delhi who
was raped and physically abused by a gang of men. The woman died from her injuries and the
world media focused on the issue that seems to be prevalent all across India.
Foreigners now show a reluctance to visit the country, especially due to the
potential risks women face. Protests have been held and laws are being passed,
but the issue still requires a tremendous amount of work and education. It is
up to us, as a community, to see to it that everyone is on an equal footing and
that everyone is treated with the same level of grace, respect and care.
Without civic sense, an individual is no better than a barbarian, and can have
a determental effect on society.

Common
summary on civic sense
civic sense is nothing but social
ethics. It is consideration by the people for the unspoken norms of society. A lot
of people assume that civic sense is just about keeping the road, streets and
public property clean. But civic sense is more than that. It is respect for
fellow men and maintaining decorum in public places. A lot of foreign countries
function on a smooth manner because of the strong civic sense amongst its
people.
Separatism, vandalism, intolerance,
racism, road rage etc. are all example of lack of civic sense. People are
becoming less and less tolerant of each other. when civic sense is absent in a
society, it leads to cause for lacking civic sense. A person who has high civic
values does not resort to shortcuts and unethical tactics to get his work done.
There are spit marks, urine, vulgar
graphics, random garbage and overflowing sewers at every nook and corner of India.
No district in our state has managed to fight the menace. It is easy to pin
everything on the government, but people must first question themselves and
their own civic sense. Roads are not dirty because nobody cleaned it, but
because somebody dirtied it. Inspite of
knowing the harmful effects, people are continuing to indulge in some behavior.
Only one thing can make India great i.e.
teaching civic sense to the children. Encourage them to mix with people from
different backgrounds and as India is a mix of a variety of people and patience
and tolerance in your child will make him more accepted and respected.
