Unemployment

ByJustpaste.in

Through the columns of your newspaper, I want to draw the attention of the concerned authorities towards the growing problem of unemployment in our country.

Unemployment is a serious problem, especially among educated young people. Many students complete their education but cannot find suitable jobs. Due to unemployment, people face poverty, frustration, and many social problems. It also slows down the progress of the country.

The government should create more job opportunities and encourage industries and small businesses. Technical and vocational education should also be promoted so that young people can learn useful skills and earn a living.

I hope the concerned authorities will take immediate steps to control unemployment and provide better opportunities for our youth.

    Chemical hair dyes and salon coloring treatments are becoming increasingly common.  While they can give hair an attractive color frequent use may leave hair dry weak and damaged. For people who want a more natural option homemade henna can be a simple alternative.  It can add a warm brown shade while helping hair look soft and shiny. How chemical dyes can affect hair Many chemical hair dyes contain ingredients such as ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.  These chemicals can affect the hair’s outer layer and may weaken its structure over time. Repeated coloring can make hair dry and brittle leading to more breakage.  Some people may also experience scalp problems such as itching irritation or small bumps. Why choose natural henna? Many women use henna but later return to chemical dyes because they do not get the brown shade they want.  Adding a few natural ingredients to henna can help create a deeper brown color. Ingredients you need 1 cup dry henna 2 cups water 1 tablespoon tea leaves 1 tablespoon coffee 1 egg 2 tablespoons coconut mustard or olive oil How to prepare the mixture Boil two cups of water with one tablespoon each of tea leaves and coffee. Continue boiling until about one and a quarter cups of water remain. In a bowl add one cup of dry henna one egg and two tablespoons of your preferred oil.  Add the prepared tea and coffee water and mix everything well. Cover the mixture and let it rest for about 30 minutes. How to apply henna Wash your hair properly with shampoo one day before applying the henna. The next day apply the prepared mixture evenly from the roots to the ends. Leave it on for around three to four hours. Once the henna has dried rinse your hair with plain water. For the next step mix about half a teaspoon of lemon juice with a small amount of your regular hair oil.  Apply it to damp hair and let your hair dry. Shampoo your hair normally the following day. Use it regularly Using this henna method around twice a month may gradually give the hair a natural brown tone. It can also help hair look smoother and shinier. However natural does not always mean risk free. It is best to do a small patch test before using henna or any new ingredient especially if you have sensitive skin or a history of allergies.

    A portrait of the artist as a young man

    ByJustpaste.in

    James Joyce published A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in 1916. He did far more than tell the story of a boy growing up in Dublin. He revolutionized the modern novel. As Joyce’s first published novel, Portrait serves as a crucial bridge between classical nineteenth-century storytelling and the radical experimentation of twentieth-century modernism. Over a century after its release, this intimate novel remains a timeless exploration of identity, intellectual rebellion and terrifying price of personal freedom. Sensory Stream of Consciousness The novel follows Stephen Dedalus who’s a thinly veiled avatar for Joyce himself from early childhood through his late adolescence and college years. The book opens not with traditional exposition, but with a sensory stream of consciousness. The baby talk, the texture of a bedsheet, the smell of oilcloth, and songs sung by his family. As Stephen grows, so too does the language of the book. Joyce evolves his prose style alongside his protagonist. He transforms the narrative voice from simple baby phrases into highly philosophical and poetic language as Stephen matures into a young scholar. Extreme Religious Devotion At its core, Portrait is a profound meditation on the heavy burdens of tradition. Growing up in a strictly Catholic, politically fractured Ireland at the turn of the twentieth century, Stephen finds himself trapped between competing pressures. He witnesses fierce family debates over Irish nationalism. He also suffers harsh physical punishments at strict Jesuit boarding schools. Ultimately, he struggles with agonizing guilt over his emerging teenage desires. A central turning point of the novel occurs during a harrowing religious retreat, where a priest delivers a vividly detailed sermon on the eternal torment of Hell. Paralyzed by fear, Stephen briefly attempts a life of extreme religious devotion, only to realize that spiritual conformity destroys his true self. Creative Freedom Over Compliance Stephen’s ultimate breakthrough doesn’t come from religiously pious self . It’s from art. In one of the most famous passages in modern literature, Stephen walks along the shore and catches sight of a young woman wading in the water. Stephen doesn’t see her through a lens of sinful desire or religious symbolism. Rather, he sees her simply as an embodiment of pure, mortal beauty. This aesthetic epiphany awakens his true calling. Now, he must break free from the traditional network of family, church, and nation that seek to hold him back. To become an artist, Stephen realizes he must embrace exile. Thus, he must chose solitude and creative freedom over compliance. Joyce’s genius lies in his ability to make Stephen’s internal struggles feel deeply universal. Anyone who has ever questioned the beliefs they were raised with, felt out of place in their own community. They strived to forge an independent identity will find a powerful reflection in Stephen’s journey. His famous declaration near the end of the book to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race is a bold rallying cry for personal independence. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is not just the story of one young man’s transformation in turn-of-the-century Ireland, but a brilliant testament to the courage required to think for oneself and forge a truly unique voice in the world.  

  • Lack of Sports Facilities in Dasht Schools

    Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to highlight the serious issue of lack of sports facilities in Dasht schools. Sports are essential for physical fitness, mental health and discipline. But in Dasht sub- division of Turbat, Balochistan there are no proper sports facilities in schools. Students do not have access to basic sports gear, kits and indoor activities items.   Moreover sports funds often fail to reach rural schools. Authorities mostly ignore sports because communities struggle with fundamental needs like classroom, clean water and teachers. As a result the physical and social skills are that taught through teams sports are being lost. The government and authorities should take action to provide sports facilities in Dasht schools.

  • Hair dye after Cancer treatment

    ByJustpaste.in

    For many cancer survivors seeing their hair grow back is more than a cosmetic change. It is a sign of recovery and a return to normal life. As new hair appears many people want to cover gray hair or try a new color. However health experts say it is important not to rush into using hair dye. Chemotherapy and radiation are designed to destroy fast growing cancer cells but they also affect healthy hair follicles. This is why many patients lose their hair during treatment. When hair grows back it is often thinner softer, drier and more sensitive than before. The scalp may also remain delicate for several months. Doctors warn that using permanent hair dye too soon after treatment can irritate the scalp cause allergic reactions and damage new hair. It may also slow healthy hair growth while the scalp is still healing. Several studies have looked at the possible risks of hair dye. A large study by the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences involving more than 46,000 women found that frequent use of permanent hair dye and chemical hair straighteners was linked to a slightly higher risk of certain types of breast cancer. Another long term study by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, which followed more than 117,000 women over 36 years found that hair dye did not increase the risk of most cancers. However long term use of permanent dyes was linked to a small increase in the risk of some types of breast skin and ovarian cancers. Experts advise cancer survivors to carefully read the ingredients before buying any hair dye. Chemicals such as PPD (para-phenylenediamine), ammonia, hydrogen peroxide parabens, and phthalates may be harmful to sensitive skin and newly grown hair. Most doctors recommend waiting at least six months after completing chemotherapy before using permanent hair dye. This gives the scalp and hair enough time to recover. Patients who had scalp cooling or radiation to the head should only use hair dye after getting approval from their doctor. During the first six months after treatment experts suggest avoiding chemical hair dyes and keeping the scalp well moisturized.  Even after six months patients should speak with their oncologist before coloring their hair. Safer options include pure henna or natural herbal dyes that do not contain added chemicals. Ammonia free and peroxide-free semi permanent dyes may also be suitable.  Temporary root powders and color mascaras are another option because they wash out with shampoo. Experts also recommend doing a patch test 48 hours before using any hair color to check for allergies or skin irritation. Whenever possible choose coloring methods that reduce direct contact between the dye and the scalp. Doctors say that caring for your hair again after cancer treatment is an important step in recovery. However taking a careful approach choosing safer products and speaking with your doctor first can help protect your hair and scalp while they continue to heal.

  • The Population Debate: Curse or Opportunity?

    ByJustpaste.in

    By Dr Naveeda Katper Different countries have different characteristics regarding population, geography, and natural resources that shape their economic growth. Economists use various indicators to measure development, and population is one of the most debated among them. A large population is often viewed as a hurdle to economic growth. However, every issue deserves to be examined from different angles. The question, “Is a large population a curse or a blessing?” cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. We need to move beyond the idea of population as a burden and understand the concept of the demographic dividend. What appears to be a curse can become a blessing when viewed through the right perspective and supported by the right policies. Research by the RAND Corporation and the World Bank has shown that countries with a growing working-age population can experience faster economic growth when supported by sound education, health, and employment policies. Whether a large population becomes an economic asset depends on governance and public policy. A growing population is not necessarily a curse because every additional mind brings new ideas, different perspectives, and fresh solutions to existing problems. One mind can accomplish one task, two minds can accomplish two, and millions of minds can achieve far more. That is the value of teamwork and collective human potential. Every individual possesses different skills, abilities, and talents that can contribute to national development. What many consider a burden may actually become a country’s greatest strength if those human resources are properly developed. This is the essence of the demographic dividend—the economic advantage that emerges when the working-age population becomes larger than the dependent population. Development economists describe this period as a “window of opportunity” rather than a guaranteed outcome. Highly populated countries can utilize their youthful population to strengthen their economies. After India, China, the United States, and Indonesia, Pakistan is the fifth most populous country in the world. This should be seen as an opportunity rather than a challenge because more than 65 percent of Pakistan’s population consists of young people. That gives the country a significant advantage. A demographic dividend can only be realized when the working-age population is educated, healthy, skilled, and productively employed. When more people are working and contributing to the economy, household savings increase, investment grows, government spending on dependents declines, and both economic output and per capita income improve. The World Bank has repeatedly emphasized that human capital—education, health, and skills—is one of the strongest drivers of long-term productivity and national income. The real challenge is identifying the policies required to achieve this dividend. A country can benefit only if it creates sufficient employment opportunities, provides quality education and skill development, ensures access to healthcare, encourages women to participate in the workforce, and maintains stable economic and public policies. When these conditions exist, the country enjoys faster economic growth, greater productivity, increased investment and savings, improved living standards, and stronger entrepreneurship and innovation. Economic growth becomes inevitable when people are hardworking, equipped with multiple skills from an early age, and capable of adapting to changing economic demands. Skilled and self-reliant citizens become the driving force of national development. Evidence from South Korea, Singapore, and Ireland shows that investment in education and skills transformed youthful populations into globally competitive economies. However, a demographic dividend can quickly become a demographic burden if employment opportunities and skills do not keep pace with population growth. The consequences may include rising unemployment, poverty, social unrest, and migration. Economists and demographers consistently argue that a demographic dividend is not automatic; it is an opportunity that must be earned through effective governance and strong institutions. Without adequate planning and investment, a large youth population can become a liability instead of an asset. The International Labour Organization has warned that persistent youth unemployment can reduce economic productivity and increase social instability. A dynamic economy capable of creating millions of formal-sector jobs each year is essential for absorbing a growing workforce. Human capital development should remain at the center of national policy. Strong educational systems, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), digital literacy, coding, digital finance, and technology-based curricula should be introduced from the early years of education. Equal opportunities for girls and women in education and employment are equally important. Pakistan also needs job creation, labour market reforms, export-led manufacturing, labour flexibility, investment in high-value industries such as technology, electronics, and specialized services, support for youth entrepreneurship and microfinance, and stronger healthcare infrastructure. UNESCO has consistently highlighted that technical and vocational education equips young people with practical skills that improve employability and economic resilience. Pakistan possesses one of the largest youth populations in the region, but this advantage can only be realized through greater investment in education, skills, and employment. In conclusion, population control alone is not a long-term solution to economic growth. Developing people’s abilities, expanding opportunities, and investing in human capital are far more effective. The experiences of countries such as Italy and Japan also demonstrate that declining populations and ageing societies create their own economic challenges. The real question is not how many people a country has, but how well it prepares its people to contribute to national development. Research across both developed and developing countries consistently concludes that people become an economic asset when governments invest in their education, health, productivity, and opportunities rather than viewing population solely as a number.
