Social & Psychological Problems Of The Confirmed Bachelor

The confirmed bachelors described by Hobert Gold at the start are representative of thousands of bechelors like him who live in American cities without much hope of their final settlement in life. In fact, this bachelor is symbolic of the many thousands of unmarried young men in other advanced countries like Britain and Italy who live unsettled lives because of their social and individual problems.
    We note that the people as a whole or society is not favourable to the confirmed bachelor. The writer describes a vast crowd of different kinds of men and women looking at and talking with the confirmed bachelor at different city parties.
    Firstly, the typical wife looks at him as a possible source of pleasure or entertainment for her. She only gets confused when she looks at his long unmarried state and hears the negative opinions of others of him. She is ready to become too old for marriage but she is not prepared to marry him because he is known as a confirmed bachelor. This shows the foolishness of fashionable and showy young women who just spoil their own chances of marriage or future by rejecting confirmed bachelors out of hand (at one).
    Secondly, another bachelor at first consider the confirmed bachelor a friend of his, but very soon begins looking at him as a rival who might steal his girl friend from him. Thus, the inner corruption and evil working of the mind make one bachelor develop feelings of jealously against amother bachelor.
    Thirdly, the hostess, one who acts as a dancing partner at clubs, thinks of him as a possible extra man who can dance with her, The psychiatrist, an expert in the treatment of mental illness, takes him as a patient for his treatment. Thus, other professional people look at the confirmed bachelor from a selfish viewpoint, that is, think of use that they could put him.

What Changes Do You Suggest In The Field Of Education

The present age is the age of science and technology. In every walk of life we need people educated in these fields. Technical education provides training in practical art and science. Pakistan has yet to go a long way to catch the advance countries of the world. This is possible only when we have enough trained men. So technical education is of the utmost importance for the progress and prosperity of our country. Unfortunately in the past, there has been great stress on general education. The British rulers of our country needed clerks and assistants in their offices to work under them. They introduced educational system which produced such people. But now time has changed.

Pakistan is now an independent and sovereign country. We have been intentionally kept backward and underdeveloped for two centuries. To compensate for the time thus lost we will have to work very hard. In order to make an advanced and prosperous country, we need mills and factories, mechanization of agriculture; building of roads and railways, bridges and canals, hospitals and schools.  But to achieve all this we need engineers, mechanics, doctors, teachers, skilled labour and many more technical experts. This is possible only when we have schools, colleges and universities where technical and scientific education is imparted to students who will later on look after all the development projects. It is heartening to note that the present government is giving due attention to technical education.

In the present day world technical hands are needed in every part of the world. Rich countries like to have labourers from developing countries where wages are low. These skilled and semi skilled workers get handsome salaries in European countries and the countries of the Middle East. In the recent past there has been a great tendency to go abroad. The labouring class especially desires to get a job by hook or by crook in a foreign country. These workers not only earn a good living for themselves but also send valuable foreign exchange to their countries demand skilled or semi-skilled labour. We can fulfill their demands only by giving technical education to young people.

In our own country prosperity depends on the development of agriculture, industry and commence. These can be improved only through scientific methods of cultivation and installation of more mills and factories and expansion of trade and commerce. To run these institutions we need experts and technicians. These people are now-a-days the builders of a nation. And we need them most. It is, therefore, the responsibiliy of the Government as well as of the nation, to make technical education common.
