Now, more than ever, children are having race each other for reaching the privilege of higher education. While healthy competition is helpful for the psycho-social development of young ones, it is rather unhealthy when the race becomes more prominent than the objective. Of course the objective of children competing against each other ideally is bringing the best out of themselves. But, very frequently, a child is compelled to compete for becoming better than the other.

vengefulness

in the lives of their children. To sustain

such

social reformation the government must establish ample alternatives to the traditional route to success. The conclusion here is simple. The children today are being put into a ‘survival-of-the- fittest’ situation much earlier than they must be when they should really be trying to do their best.

untimely loss of innocence is only going to make civilization more antagonistic.
