Your Favorite Teacher

 Teachers are the builders of a nation. They guide young people as a lighthouse. They shape their mind and help them to grow as a better person. I am really grateful to all of my teachers who have guided me and have shown me the right path. Our English teacher Mrs. Selina Afroz is my most favorite teacher. In my short life in college, I have learned many things from her. She embodied all the qualities of a good teacher. She is very kind to her students still poses a very strong personality. She has very good academic results. She has a vast knowledge of her subject matter and always makes the class interesting. She tries different modern approaches for teaching us.

Gender Discrimination

 Gender discrimination is like cancer for society. It usually refers to unequal treatment between males and females. In South Asian countries like Bangladesh, India, gender discrimination is a common scenario. It begins from the birth of a girl and continues throughout her life. Gender discrimination also causes some other social problems like-early marriage, dowry culture, abortion, domestic abuses, etc. Age-old social customs, prejudice, and superstition are responsible for gender discrimination. Many parents prefer a male child because they think in the future, a male child will be the bread earner of the family and will take care of them at their old age. Even in the 21st century, many people think that it is forbidden for girls to achieve higher education or do jobs. They think that women are designed only for giving childbirth and doing household chores. However, this idea is completely vague because nowadays women are not lagging behind. In every sector, women have proved that t

Adolescence refers to the age limit of 13-18. Before 13, an individual is considered a child and after 18 he is a full-grown adult. Adolescence can be compared to a bridge between childhood and adulthood. This phase represents a critical transition. In this phase, an individual has to face many changes both physically and mentally. They become more sensitive and emotional.

As it is also a period of growth and potential, an adolescent should be taught

 Every people love their own country. Homeland or motherland is often considered as greater than heaven. But sometimes circumstances force people to leave their own homeland and settle somewhere else.

The diaspora of Jews exiled from Israel by the Babylonians is one of the ancient histories of diaspora. The people of Palestine also have a long history of diaspora. It is estimated that more than 6 millions of their people live in a global diaspora.
