Hello friend,

I have started a thread in which I have put some questions related to social issues. Please provide appropriate answers for them. Additionally, feel free to add any questions you may have regarding social issue knowledge.

Let's start with the first question.

Note: When you provide an answer to any question, please include the question in your response.

Thank you.

Domestic violence against women is something that happens in poor and deprived families, common across all classes in society. It is perceived as natural because men are physically more powerful, and sometimes seen as a result of women not obeying their male counterparts.

Poverty in India can be seen to be caused by excessive population growth in the country, lack of literacy and education among people, lack of access to modern technology, and structural factors such as social and economic inequalities.

Globalization and the opening of the market economy are widening the gap between the rich and the poor, providing opportunities for everyone to better their standard of living, making India a powerful country, and ensuring that Indian goods find a huge market in the world.

Free education of the girl child – is an important step towards improving the status of women, will lead to better performance by girls in schools, deprives boys from lower socioeconomic groups from accessing education, and is introduced for political gains.

Hello,

Just I tried to answer your 24th question, which is about cotton. The farmers committed suicide because of cotton.

The answer to your 26th question is Grameen Bank, which was started by Md. Yunus in Bangladesh. This is the world's first self-help group and thrift society.

I will try to answer more of your questions in the future. It's nice to challenge ourselves to know and answer your questions. If you have any questions about health, hygiene, or HIV/AIDS issues, I will do my best to answer based on my limited knowledge.

Thank you,
