How Our Public Behavior Impacts Our Society

Hey there, my young Indian friends! Today, I want to talk to you about something important – our public behavior. You may think, “Oh, Mohak, why are you talking about this? There are so many other problems in our country.” But believe me, our public behavior is one of the biggest problems we face. Let me tell you why.

What Is Civic Sense?

Civic sense is all about how we behave in public. It includes things like how we drive, how we talk to each other, and even how we look at each other. Basically, civic sense teaches us how to behave around others. And why is this important? Because without it, our society becomes divided.

Imagine you’re on a train at midnight, trying to sleep. But there’s someone playing a loud movie on their phone, or spitting gutkha in front of everyone. These small things may seem trivial, but they shake the trust and unity of our society.

The Impact on Mental and Physical Health

Our lack of civic sense not only affects our society, but also our mental and physical health. The stress, anxiety, and anger we experience due to our selfish behavior lead to fights on the road and in public spaces.

Many Indian cities are filled with garbage, leading to diseases like dengue and malaria. The lack of proper waste management also contributes to air pollution, causing millions of deaths every year.

The Importance of Education and Infrastructure

The root cause of our poor civic sense is a lack of education, both at home and in school. We need to educate our children on how to keep our public spaces clean and orderly. And we must also re-educate our elders to set better examples.

Effective enforcement is key. Just look at cities like Indore and Surat, where strict enforcement of laws and proper infrastructure have led to a significant change in public behavior.

Creating a New Culture

We can all contribute to creating a new culture of cleanliness and civic responsibility. Small acts, like not spitting on clean walls or driving with discipline, can make a big difference.

Let’s work together to build a society where trust and unity prevail. Remember, change starts with each one of us. Share this message and start making a difference today!
