We are surviving daily in such a society where we are in the middle of nowhere.With the mixing of modern culture in a lower-middle income country like Bangladesh, we surely get the taste of both : a westernized nation as well as a traditional society. But as if everything comes with a price, we face an
imbalance in choosing one part of the society. We are standing in a place where we can neither embrace the modern culture nor the primitive one. Our clothes, food, language, living styles and everything else are advancing yet our mindsets are flickering between the primordial and progressive society.People say that we re living in a modern society yet the some social prejudices eat up our prospects and hope for a new world where everyone is treated equally.
Even our own family at some point wears a blindfold and chooses society over their child's happiness, Family is supposed to make us feel at home; then why it feels like a mini prison itself, Why are we looked down upon every time when we don't meet the expectations?
Advanced countries treat youth mental health seriously, whereas in our country mental health is Overlooked dangerously. So society should address it amicably.
Since we are talking about progressive society, we might as well bring the fact how women are treated We unequally. Most of the Bangali families rush a female child to marriage when she ages over 18 while for the male child's? Of course, he can marry after he gets established in life. The society is evolvings yet it is considered that man is the compulsory earning member of a family while the females are given options. But looking at the gender equality fact, both male and female are supposed to stand side by side in all fields, even in income issues.
Gender equity ensures gender parity which is necessary for changing society's typical outlook Such change can be benefical to pave the way of a truly modern society.
In conculsion, often adults forget we children are continuously in touch with the trends of the present world. So being sandwiched between mindset of our
ancestors and modern world, full potentiality of the youths is suppressed. Cultural aggression will always be present but future generations will learn to fight it if we the present generation can deliver our utmost demands to the society with the hope of being heard. We all pray such a day come for everyone where we do not struggle to translate what our souls crave for.
