#GenerationGap vs #Gap in #Generations - An Unique Problems for 1970s kids of Tamil Nadu

When these kids were born, India was almost like 1947 only
Doordharshan was black and white only (color came during Asian games)
Banks trains buses everything was old fashioned 1/10
These kids - including me, of course - got three or four new dresses a year
Our parents focussed on Savings and education
We never went to hotel to eat unless it was another town
Evenings were spend playing
Adults talked with others in the street sitting in door

2/10
India of 1990 was not dissimilar to America or 1920
But
India of 2019 is like America of 2015

What it took America 95 years - three to four generations

Happened in India in 25 years

Difference between 1940s kids of India and 1970s kids of India is one generation only
3/10
But
Difference between 1970s kids and 1990s kids in Tamil Nadu is
Three generations

--

Everyday at least one parent in 50s complain to me that their kid in teenage does not respect them

--

I explain the above concept and then ask them

4/10
When you joined in your first job how did you behave with your manager

Now
You are manager or General manager how the campus recruited guy behaves with you

5/10
Just like how your-your manager relationship in 1990s is much different from your new recruit - your relationship in 2019

Your and your parents relationship in 1980s
Is different
From your and your kids relationship in 2019

Then they understand
6/10
What we don't understand is
We need to know that while there existed just a Generation Gap between 1940-70, 1950-80 etc
What exists between 1970-00s kids is Gap of Generations

It is nearly three generations

This gap is not just there in Parent - kids or Manager-Recruit
7/10
The Gap is present every where

it is present in education, it is present in health care
Within two decades

The Communicable - Non Communicable Diseases Transition in Mortality and Morbidity in Tamil Nadu Took merely two decades
8/10
GER crossed 50 percent in merely two decades
Agriculture became less than 15 % of GDP while services crossed 50 % of GDP in same time
I don't think we can have a parallel of 60 million people undergoing this much transformation within two decades any where in the world
9/10
There can be small states like Singapore which did this, but 60 million transforming at such a rapid pace never happened any where

We need to keep this concept in mind when you look at solutions for Healthcare, Real Estate, Education, Employment, Agriculture, Water etc

10/10

Let us Explore this <<not a judgemental forum>> approach a bit more

Assuming that the first Confession is Real and not fake

What we know for sure is that this lady is not happy for what happened (Symptom)

Now
This could be due to 4 causes (etiology)
1.
Her husband is at fault

2.
She is at fault

3.
Both are at Fault

4.
Neither is at fault. The Circumstances are at fault / Society is at fault / there was miscommunication / there was misunderstanding

Now
We need to solve the problem
So
We need to find the cause
Without knowing the correct cause of the problem and without correcting the root cause, the problem won't go away

So
We need to find the root cause

Isn't it

Actually
Finding the Root Cause = Judging
And
This is exactly a section of today's youth don't want to do

இதில் நிறைய பிரச்சனைகள் உள்ளன.
இது குறித்து நிறைய பதிவுகள் வந்துவிட்டன.

ஆனால்
ஒரு பிரச்சனை குறித்து யாரும் பேசவில்லை

ஒரு 27 வயது பெண், தனக்கு ஏற்பட்ட அனுபவம் / கவலை / வருத்தம் குறித்து

தன் தாயிடம், பெரியம்மா, சித்தி, அத்தை, உடன்பிறந்தவர்களிடம், cousin brothers
& sister, வகுப்புதோழிகளிடம், ஆண் & பெண் நண்பர்களிடம், உடன் பணிபுரிபவர்களிடம், குடும்ப மருத்துவரிடம் பேசாமல்
சமூக ஊடகத்திற்கு வந்துள்ளார்

இப்படி நடந்திருப்பதன் மூலம்
1.
அந்த பெண் அவரது தாயை, பெரியம்மாவை, சித்தியை, அத்தையை, உடன்பிறந்தவர்களை, cousin brothers & sisterகளை,
வகுப்புதோழிகளை, ஆண் & பெண் நண்பர்களை, உடன் பணிபுரிபவர்களை, குடும்ப மருத்துவரை நம்பவில்லை
2.
இவர் நம்பும் படி அவர்கள் இதுவரை இவரிடம் நடக்கவில்லை

என்று தெரிகிறது.
ஆக
உறவு, நிஜ வாழ்வு நட்பு என்று அனைத்து விஷயங்களும் பின்னுக்கு தள்ளப்பட்டு
இணையம் அந்த இடத்தை பிடித்துள்ளது

Thread :

There are news that MBBS Graduates will be posted Mandatorily in PHCs for 2 years and then only given certificate

In My Opinion

This is a very very wrong move

I say this not from the point of view of the graduate, but from point of view of a common man
Before one you jump and start your lecture on the importance of Doctors in Villages blah blah
Let me tell you that I had worked for 3 years in PHC

And
I can also tell you that I did not merely "scratch my chair" but did some work
You can read this thread to

1.
Know (a part of ) work I did

2.
Know that PHC (Primary Health Centres) are not just for treating people who come to the centre
But they are the fulcrum of Public Health

National Digital Health Mission : Clarification

Long Thread. Please be patient even if you feel certain Points are repeated

Let us start with a letter. How do I send you a letter. I send to your home address or office Address. You have got the letter, read it and filed it Image
Now, if you want to read it for some clarification, you need to go to your home or office, retrieve the file and check it

This was how letters were being used.

Then in 1990s came the eMail. Here The Mail was served in a server and you can read it any time.
In the early days, the server was maintained by Educational institutions or Internet Service Providers. Though you were getting the letters, the downside was that you need to change your address once you left the educational institution or opted for another ISP

#FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on #BCG (#Bacille #Calmette-#Guerin) #Vaccine Trial
Question : Will BCG vaccine really benefit to control COVID in elderly ?
My Answer : Yet, It will. But, “control”, (like Prevent or Save) is a wrong word to be used. The Right word is “Reduce”
BCG Vaccine won’t benefit to control COVID in elderly
BCG Vaccine won’t benefit to prevent COVID in elderly
BCG Vaccine won’t save elderly from COVID
But
BCG Vaccine will reduce Mortality and Morbidity in Elderly

To Substantiate this, they are planning to start a trial

பிசிஜி தடுப்பூசி போட்டால் கொரோனாவில் இருந்து பாதுகாக்க முடியாது

ஆனால்
