Video Games The Unintended Trap

SAY NO TO VIDEO GAMES

OVERVIEW :

Video games have emerged as one of the most enthralling inventions for kids and even for adults.

Around 2.2 billion people play video games worldwide and that's really a huge number, Anything which is carried out in limited form goes well but if done in excess they are deadly enough to victimize you! A country like India count on its enormous young population but the current scenario depicts that most of them are now addicted and this addiction is not because of drugs but due to technology-based games that have surpassed drugs and weeds thoroughly!   

DISADVANTAGES OF VIDEO GAMES

Video games/ mobile games share common disadvantages they are 

 

1. Behavioral and mental changes

2. Lack of other hobbies and poor academic performance

3. Lethargic nature, which will also lead to weight gain

4. Gaming addiction can slow down brain growth

5. Gaming addiction negatively affects eyesight and also results in Insomnia

Today's generation is completely stuck in the traps of video games like pubg and Pokemon go etc.

 HOW TO TACKLE THIS PROBLEM?

In my opinion, this matter should be given importance from day one itself. It has been observed that today's generation parents in order to keep their child busy, they hand them over a video game enabled mobile phone. And watching a 5-year-old kid stuck in mobile or wearing spectacles is not a big deal in today's scenario! 

KID WEARING SPECTACLE

•   Parents should be aware of the repercussion of their mistake and shall not handle mobile to their child until they reach a suitable age.
• Even if children are bit grown up but still parents can play a vital role in restricting their child.
• It is true that our parents can play a vital role but after we attain a certain age we are free to do whatever we desire and at that time we are the ones responsible for any decision taken.
• We should be able to control ourselves and should give priority to the most important things rather than these enthralling video games.
• Students especially commerce one should be able to understand the business strategy of these video game makers instead of becoming a victim of it.
• Even governments should take strict action like recently in Gujrat playing PUBG has been banned by the government.
• If students can't help themselves out of this then from parents to school/colleges, government all of them are supposed to take preventive 

Conclusion :

VIDEO GAMES NOT ONLY IS ADDICTIVE BUT ALSO MAKES YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY LIKE ANYTHING SO THE BELOW ADDED PICTURE WILL DEPICT THE REALITY OF VIDEO GAMES !!

PAYING TAXES A LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY

WHAT IS A TAX !

A tax is a mandatory financial charge or some other type of levy imposed upon a taxpayer by a governmental organization in order to fund various public expenditures. Tax are applicable on almost all the goods and services purchased or sold by an individual or an organization.

TYPES OF TAXES :

Basically there are two broad categories 1. Direct taxes 2.Indirect taxes

major taxes under direct and indirect taxes are-

• Income Tax.
• Capital Gains Tax. ...
• Securities Transaction Tax. ...
• Fringe Benefit Tax or Perquisite Tax. ...
• Corporate Tax. ...
• Service Tax. ...
• Value Added Tax (VAT) ...
• Custom Duty.

The Constitution of India → Schedule VII → Union List → Entry 82 has given the power to the Central Government to levy a tax on any income other than agricultural income, which is defined in Section 10(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.^[1] The Income Tax Law consists of Income Tax Act 1961, Income Tax Rules 1962, Notifications and Circulars issued by Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), Annual Finance Acts and judicial pronouncements by the Supreme Court and High Courts.

NOW THE QUESTION ARISES WHY SHOULD AN INDIVIDUAL CONSIDER PAYING TAX AS HIS RESPONSIBILITY  AND NOT AS HIS LIABILITY

Honestly speaking paying tax is compulsion for every individual, organization in every country and in case of default he/she is liable for penalty. 

The tax paying ratio (income tax) in India has been always low. Though we can see improvements but they aren't sufficient to run the country as we aspire.

The data says only 3% of total population pays income tax in India.

This data is astonishing. Recently we faced a very serious situation with Pakistan. After the Pulwama attack by Pakistan we did a air strike on the terror camps in LOC of Pakistan. But the repercussion of this attempt was a unsuccessful attack by Pakistan on India. To counter the aircrafts of Pak, Indian pilots chased the Pak aircrafts using MIG 21 aircraft also known as A tomb for its pilots. Though we succeeded but one of our wing commander Abhinandan got trapped in Pakistan due to the crash of MIG 21. Our most fighter plains consist of MIG 21 and they are too old and has claimed many lives of Indian Air Force pilots! The question arises why we don't replace our fighter planes ? Well thats just because the government was out required funds and that is due to our habit of not paying taxes and saving it instead! 

BY MERELY SAVING FEW THOUSANDS WE RISK OUR COUNTRY'S DEVELOPMENT, LIVES OF OUR SOLDERS AND OUR SECURITY!  

DON'T PUT THEIR LIVES IN DANGER WHO STAND FOR YOU WHILE YOU SLEEP ! PAY  TAXES AS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY .

The country runs on the taxes paid by us and if we refuse to pay it then we are refusing our country's development, pushing the next generation to live a ordinary life, compromising with our nation's security and much more. 

CONCLUSION

Paying a certain percentage of your income to the government won't make a difference in your lifestyle but it will surely make a enormous change in your country and its future!!

At last I would say the same thing tax is your responsibility so don't consider it as your liability. Your contribution can lead the country to a next level .
