Alcoholism has serious negative consequences not only for the affected individual but also for society at large. By using a public health approach that integrates medical, psychological, and social therapies, primary care physicians can educate at-risk patients to prevent alcohol abuse from starting and intervene to halt progression of the disease in patients with early or late alcoholism. The signs of causes of alcoholism are unknown but strong evidence exists for a genetic origin. Given the inherited risk, a variety of psychological and environmental factors (e.g. depression, broken home, alcohol misuse by other family members) appear to influence the expression of that risk in the individual. Once begun, alcoholism typically progresses over 10 to 20 years. Because the progression is gradual, however, it is difficult to determine the exact time when a person becomes an alcoholic. People without a genetic risk for alcoholism or a previous history of alcohol abuse more...

Industrialisation is vital for a country's economic development. Indian industrial sector is characterised by under-utilisation of resources, low capital formation, low level of technology, lack of skilled manpower and social attitudes of the population. Indian industrial development is also highly influenced by the political climate of India, the political philosophy of the ruling party, the attitude and culture of the political administrators and Indian Industrial Policies. Indian industry also depends highly on the attitudes and aspirations of the Indian manpower and Indian society. The economic structure of India follows a mixed economy. Thus, the functioning of dual sectors - public and private - exist in India. Public sector includes both public utility undertakings and public enterprises. Due to several factors, such as, low returns, longtime lag, defence requirements, public utilities, large resource requirement, development of backward regions, development of infrastructure, etc. the Government had to invest in certain capital- intensive more...

The celebrated scientist of the world once confessed - '... Always I feel there is a super power working above and beyond me. I feel his presence but unable to see him'. Einstien's this 'superpower' is no doubt, which we call the God. Religion is a belief in or the worship of a God or gods. It is a particular system of belief or worship. A person is totally devoted to his religion and it rules his life. So religion, the very word immediately reminds us the existence of God. It is not a dogma or blind faith. In a true peace and harmony between head and heart. This valueless World cannot produce good citizens. Another important aspect of scientific development is that gradually it makes individuals so dependent that they loose their creativity. Science is not to be blamed but the way we use it is very important. Despite more...

Over the past few years, computers have become a vastly popular household item. The luxury of emailing messages as opposed to charging up the phone bill is more appealing. Checking news, weather, and sports via the Internet is a convenience that many are taking advantage of. Our children's lives are already getting influenced by technology - and this is just the beginning. Computers and Internet are here to stay and software titles targeting young children continue to increase. Computer science has become a compulsory subject in Indian schools.

So parents too have realised the need to help their children develop strong computer skills. Children are learning to read and write with computer games instead of homemade flash more...

There are many social problems India is facing. Out of them Dowry system is one of the biggest problem prevailing in India. Dowry system can as regarded as an illegal system in which though unwillingly but after marriage bride's parents need to give money and other necessary items to bride. It use to be a good tradition but with the changing time its purpose has changed completely. Now, this system has taken a bad form and it has emerged as the biggest evil of our society.

They are forced to give more and more money at nine of marriage and even after marriage people are becoming greedy. Some people give their son higher education like more...

Now-a-days, remix albums are selling like hot cakes. Today it has become some sort of rule that every music album must have a video where three or four girls, insufficiently dressed are dancing with the pelvic moves. This fashion was kick started by 'Tu hai wohi', 'Kaliyon ka Chaman', 'Kanta Laga' by DJ Doll, the latest one being 'Kabhi aar kabhi paar' and many more. The English songs are blended into the Hindi remixes beautifully by these DJ's who use impressive accomplishments to fuse both the sounds- Certain Hindi golden oldies are fused with popular international hits to give a tremendous vocal effect. Typical example are 'Kehdoon tumhe' which was originally an English oldie hit 'Just wanna be close to you' and the lead track 'Saiyan dil mem aana re' which was originally of spice girl's popular song 'wannable’. These albums reflect the changing phase of remixes. It's all about more...

Ever since I was a child, my mother raised me to recognise and appreciate various kinds of friends. There are three different kinds of friends in this life. I classify them according to how well 1 know them and how well they know me. We encounter each of them everyday, whether in school, home, or at the gym. However, we rarely spend much time actually thinking about and classifying these people. First, there are the 'pest friends'- general acquaintances. Next, there are 'guest friends'- social partners. Lastly, we have 'best friends'- our true friends. The first type of friend is simply an acquaintance. This means that you basically only know their name. You might not even remember what they look like if you go away for a short vacation. Usually, you meet these types of friends in school, at work, on the bus, in the gym, or anywhere else you more...

Today we are relishing the ambrosial taste of the modern scientific technology and applications. Science and technologies are a part of all human activities, from the houses that we live in, the food we eat, the cars we drive, and to the electronic gadgetry in almost  every home that we use to remain informed and entertained. These all evidences show the blessings of scientific knowledge on humans. Before eighteenth century we were plunged in the depths of ignorance and unawareness of scientific knowledge. Without having an adequate scientific knowledge, our ancestors had buried their common senses deep under the mask of ignorant prejudices but it was the scientific revolution in nineteenth century that unsheathed it and now we can see that the whole world is globalised : due to this scientific revolution. Science has affected human life and culture in manyways and requires numerous books to discuss its impacts on more...
