It is obvious that the disasters all over the world are getting increased at fast! For our convenience, disasters or calamities could be categorized into two: natural disasters as well as man-made disasters! No doubt, whatever it is! The ensuing damage on the society is enormous. It is said by scientists that the activities of man have made a huge contribution on some burning issues in the globe within a broad spectrum. In the modern world, the experts always use a special word- Management! Really, management is a blanket term! Yes, it is accepted that we are unable to make a world free of all problems or what is called “utopian society”! What we could do really is to manage the impact within the threshold limits and keep it under our bearing capacity. If so, how to manage our activities, which have tremendous impact on the nature, environment! Or largely on our mother-planet!
I think it is needed to formulate a viable, global work-plan to address this issue! The burning issues in the world have no boundaries! For this reason, we all have to work together as a single unit on a common agenda irrespective of all insignificant divisions in the world! Yes, we have to stop at least now the “clashes between man and man”! Really, we have to make use of our knowledge, experiences to realize the secrets of the nature, environment and the universe! At present, the knowledge, experiences and all gained through the history are mainly used for some other purposes. For example, the technology (the output of science) is mainly utilized to develop military devices!
Scientists should be allowed to work freely without unnecessary influence because scientists don’t have to work on the plans, drafts prepared by politicians! The dogma and politics should be kept on one side while the world needs pragmatic answers to burning issues! The driving force of all societies should be composed of genuine scholars, and politicians must be behind them! The sustainable-utilization of natural resources is of paramount importance in minimizing human’s impact on the nature. At times, mega development projects could drastically be impacted on the environment than small-scale, successive projects. Feasibility studies of development projects should be made covering all aspects in a society because linear feasibility creates a troublesome situation in future. The identification of natural disasters before time, disaster management strategies, physiological aspects in disaster situations, scientific restoration after disaster situations, post-disaster management, risk management and so forth are essential subjects in the modern world. At this critical juncture in the history, no extra time is given us really! Hence, we have to forget all trivial separations in human world and work together as siblings of a single mother for the welfare of humankind! We all are equal, no difference between us! We all have same problems! We all suffer due to same causes!!! Let us look at the world with a new eye!!!!
Good Luck!
