20. Etiquette and Manner

(d) Do you think etiquette and manner the same irrespective of society to society and culture to culture? (e) Why are etiquette and manner important?
Answer: Man is a social animal. So following social code of behaviour is important for living in the society. These are called social behaviour. We have two terms to describe our social behaviour – etiquette and manners. Etiquette is a French word. It is a set of rules dealing with exterior form. Manners are an expression of inner character. Rules of etiquette are the guiding codes that enable us to practice manners. Manner is considered to be polite in a particular society or culture. Manners can be good or bad. For example, it is a bad manner to speak with food in one’s mouth. No one likes a bad- mannered person. Etiquette and manners vary from culture to culture and from society to society. The best place to learn manners and etiquettes is the home where the child spends most of its time. Besides home, we also learn etiquette and manners from various institutions, such as schools, colleges or professional bodies. Again, there are rules of behaviour for all kinds of social occasions and it is important to learn them and practise them in everyday life. The manners that are correct in a wedding reception will not do in a debating club. Therefore, we have to be careful about etiquette and manners. A few polite expressions such as ‘pardon me,’ ‘excuse me, ‘may I,’ can make our day smooth and pleasant. Although they do not cost anything, they bring us valuable gains. They enhance the pleasure of life. One can win over even the enemy if he presents good manners. Good manners and etiquettes are the key to success.
21. Adolescence
(a) What do you understand by adolescence? (b) When does adolescence start? (c) What changes do you notice taking place during adolescence? (d) Which factors do you think responsible for the change? (e) Why do you think adolescence a period of preparation for adulthood?
Answer: Human beings have to pass through many stages in their life since infancy. Adolescence is very important among these stages. It starts with puberty and extends slightly beyond it. It is called the transition period of human life. Its span is considerably short. It is characterized by fast paced greth and change which are second only to those at infancy. At the stage human beings start developing the ability to reproduce. Again, this stage enables them developing their individual identity. However, its cajor characteristics may vary across time, cultures, and socio-economic condition. Even these are changed as time passes. Now puberty for example, comes earlier than before, people marry late, and their sexual attitudes and behaviours are different from their grandparents, or even parents. Education, urbanization and spread of global communication are responsible for the change. In fact, adolescence is a period of preparation for adulthood. It paves human beings the way for moving toward social and economic independence, acquisition of skills needed to carry out adult relationships and roles and the capacity for abstract reasoning. It is also a time of considerable risks for exercising powerful influences. In a nutshell, we can conclude that adolescence is the period which shapes the future of girls’ and boys’ lives.
22. Higher/Tertiary Education in Bangladesh
(a) What is higher education? (b) What are the categories of higher education in Bangladesh? (c) How many public, private universities and colleges are there in Bangladesh? (d) What are the features of public universities? (e) Why is access to university education limited in Bangladesh? How can this problem be solved?
Answer: Higher education is an advanced level of studies. It is also called tertiary education. Its courses are usually studied at universities, colleges and higher educational institutions. Higher education in Bangladesh comprises two categories of institutions: degree awarding universities and colleges affiliated to the National University; but each of the medical colleges is affiliated with a public university. Right now there are 37 public universities in the country while there were only four universities before our independence. Moreover, there are 80 private and 3 international universities for providing higher education. Number of colleges providing higher education is around 1,400. Most of them offer BA (pass) education of three years’ duration and only one-third of them offer B.A. (Honors) courses. Public universities are the foremost choice of the majority students who seek higher education. These universities offer various subjects in Science, Commerce, Humanities, Engineering and Technology, Law, Education and Medicine disciplines. Their library, laboratory, internet and research facilities are much better there than anywhere else in the country. Moreover, residential facilities at subsidized rates are available in these public universities. Because of limited number of seats in public universities, and high tuition fees charged by the private universities, access to university education is rather limited in Bangladesh. We cannot solve the problem over night but it can be lessened gradually. The number of public universities must be increased. High charges at the private universities should be reduced so that the poor students can have the access to the institutions. In this regard the government should take the responsibility and necessary steps.
23.Diaspora

(d) How have the scholars distinguished the difference between various kinds of diaspora? (e) Name the Bangladeshi elected members of the British Parliament?
Answer: The term ‘diaspora’ is used to refer to people who have left their homelands and settled down to another country. The terms has an ancient Greek origin. It mens scatter about. And that exactly what the people of a diaspora do – they scatter from their homeland to places across the globe, spreading their culture as they go. The fleeing of Greeks after the fall of Constantinople, the African Trans-Atlantic slave trade, the southern Chinese or Hindus of South Asia during the coolie trade, the deportation of Palestinians in the 20th century bear testimony what diaspora is. Now ‘diaspora’ is also used more generally to describe any large migration of refugees, language, or culture. People become diaspora as they are forced to do so or they want to leave on their own. Recently, scholars have distinguished between different kinds of diaspora, based on its causes such as imperialism, trade or labor migrations, or by the kind of social coherence within the diaspora community and its ties to the ancestral lands. Some diaspora communities maintain strong political ties with their homeland. Other qualities that may be typical of many diaspora are thoughts of return, relationships with other communities in the diaspora, and lack of full integration into the host country. There are many Bangladeshi diaspora living in various cities in the world. Even they have distinctive role in their politics. In the 56th parliamentary election in UK, the world was surprised to see that three Bangladeshi-origin British citizens were elected members of parliament. The elected lawmakers are Labour Party’s Rushnara Ali, Tulip Rizwana Siddiq and Rupa Asha Huq. We are really proud of these diaspora.

Answer: Human rights mean the rights that should be inherited by everyone from the country and countrymen. These rights are fundamental for living and for normal human existence. They are based on the concept that every man and woman, irrespective of caste, creed, color, race and nationality is born with certain fundamental rights such as, right to live, speech, freedom, justice, etc. These rights are, therefore, enshrined in the constitution of the countries. Every person in this world has the right to get food, clothing, shelter, education and treatment. Those are regarded as the five basic human rights. In our country, some rights are being protected and some rights are being neglected. Our poor children are deprived of food and education. They have to earn money themselves for living. They do it by engaging themselves in many risky jobs. Our women folk are deprived of education. They have no right to make any decision or pass any opinion about the important issues in the family. Sometimes they are tortured both physically and mentally. Our old people are deprived of proper care and treatment. People can come to know what the constitution says about their rights if they are conscious of their rights. If people know about their rights, they can enjoy, use and protect them properly and thus they can contribute to the development of the country. Protection and maintenance of human rights is a fundamental duty of every government. Countries, particularly the democratic countries, must stand together in this respect and take necessary persuasive and even coercive actions, to see that the fundamental human rights are adhered to by people, organizations and countries all over the world.

People from near and far send their herds for grazing. The haor had very dense swamp forests in the past but deforestation and lack of conservation practices have destroyed this forest in the last two decades. Only two small patches of swamp forests still exist in the area. The unique haor system contributes to the beauty of the landscape both during the monsoon and the dry season.
