Which CULTURE are we following? Part-1

Which CULTURE are we following?
This is the question in many of our youngsters mind. And why not, because the way we are behaving is very cheap.  How? I will explain in details.
Firstly we will start with the birth of child. In olden days or may be a couple of decades ago, we use to think that if a girl is born, it is a bad luck, which takes place even today in some parts of world. But now days it is believed that if a boy is born it is a bad luck.
Why? That I will explain later on, but this is true. It takes place. And moreover the age in which the woman prefers to be mother is increased. Somewhat above 34yrs, because the women don’t think that in the early thirties she should become pregnant and spoil her career and her body structure. Most of the ladies don’t prefer to give birth, as this will make there body structure ugly. Many of the working class women adopt children to avoid pregnancy.
In one way, actually this is very good work, that they are adopting children who don’t have parents or who lack the parent’s love in early ages. But do you think that the women who doesn’t want to spoil her beauty, is going to adopt the child and, the same women will ever care about that child.
This is the way only in case those, the women can’t become pregnant due to some other circumstances. These women will definitely give then full buckets of love to that child.
Okay, the next point.
The child’s growth means, when I was a child, I was put into school by my parents when I was about 4 yrs of age. But now-a-days, when the child reaches about one and half yr, he goes to playgroup, then to nursery, and then the actual school starts, which is considered today as compulsory.
Why we put our child in such a small age to playgroup, because we don’t have time for our child and teach him/her some basic lessons of life like how to stand, how to play, how to eat, how to sing, etc. this is because we or the parents are such highly qualified that they seems that this are not of our caliber and they work whole day to make the same child’s future bright. But they forget the child needs not these lessons but needs love at this age, which results in distancing our own child.
I know some of the parents will not agree with my above point because they think that they are doing the right thing and I am talking something rubbish, but you will agree with my point after some yrs.
The other thing to put child at such a small age to playgroup is that, today’s world is of full of competition. When we go to the school to take admission for our child, they ask the first thing, have your child had attended any playgroup, if yes, they will ask the child some poems or rhymes. But still you have to pay donation to school. And if your child has not attended the playgroup then he will find it difficult to cope up with the speed of teaching, and may lack in marks and can even get failed in examination.
So to avoid this, any parent, even I who have daughter of 2 yrs will put my child in playgroup, because I don’t want my child to be behind in this competition, and every one wants their child to be one among the winners.
But, don’t you think that we are giving much pressure on the child at such a small age?
If you don’t think, I think, because this is our today’s trends and even CULTURE which we are following.
