In this highly complicated valet of knowledge and technology, people say knowledge insufficient and wisdom is no longer possible and needed. The writer asserts this saying doesnt contain the truth because the real meaning of wisdom doesnt concord with such easy-going meanings.According to him, Wisdom means sense of proportion, in other words, it is giving equal importance to every aspect of a problem. Similarly, Wisdom Includes both penetrating the things of distance in time and place (widening the horizon of mind), as well as giving place for them the level of feelings. It is a process of developing the capability of taking the things at the level of feelings. Having wisdom is developing the impartiality within us, b eing free from the limitation of here and now created by our selfish and personal senses within us.It is the process of emancipating the innate capacity of the mind, keeping it above the disturbances of the sensual perceptions. The development of the wisdom is not extraordinary activities like that of some sages rather it accords with our instinctive growth, as the mental horizon of the newly born child keeps on growing, wisdom also keeps on developing. Now, the intelligence is not able to yield expected success and end, because of the lack of the wisdom.A scientist applies whole of his life and energy, in the quest of some truth and discoveries, he has very little time to think about its large(p) results. Therefore, the boon of modern medicine has been changed into the cause of over population and scarce of food, and the alternative source of energy, the nuclear physics has been used to make the destructive bomb. Therefore, along with the advancement at the sector of science a nd technology, the wisdom is equally necessary and needed.Moreover, it should be one of the objectives of modern education system.

Moreover, it is useless and extra to delimit human being restricting from complete development, including the qualities, which are supposed only for male and only for egg-producing(prenominal ). It seems it is needless to differentiate betweenmale and female except few of the natural duty.Otherwise, whatever thequalities have been imposed upon Male and Female are not appropriate withthe modern time. Most importantly, the Male should be free from the ill-use concept thatdelimit him from some of the essential qualities of life, as softness, wisdom,sensitivities, politeness and it is needless for him to remain always proud,and prowess as well as harsh. Similarly, for the Female it is needless to remain always, weak, soft, indecisive, immature, bodily and fragmented.These attributes particularly for the male and female are not natural but of the social product, produced at a certain stage of history, which automatically changes and mustiness be changed along the course of time. This assay truelove, reflects the spirit of modern feminist movement, and reveals a truth that the narrow-minded and imbalanced interest of male chauvinism has manipulated even the language and wor d as beauty, for which the females are not aware of and are always living the incomplete and superficial life depending on the male. Language is high-energy and sensitive, which is easily influenced with the sociopolitical situation.It also serves as the weapons for one group to suppress and weaken another. In this essay, Beauty, the ordinary word serves as an example, which has been influenced and been deviated a lot from its original meaning and is being widely used as the veil covering the underlying truth of the female. Now a beautiful female with her high intellectual, physical and spiritual capacity is taken so surprisingly, as if these capacities dons have any relation with the word beauty and it is taken as if a beautiful lady should neer be so capacious in these sectors.Moreover, with the adjective beautiful for any female, we understand her always tender, superficial, dependent and weak, evaluating and admiring her physical attraction in terms of the parts of her body (s o inhuman evaluation),while the correspondent term for male handsome, needs complete view and complete evaluation. In reality, the word in the Greek, the root of western civilization, with the meaning alike(p) to beauty, includes all the physical, intellectual and spiritual capabilities and attributes of a female and there is no such clear difference between the male and female.Therefore, there must be a mistake in some part of the History, which shrank down the meaning of beauty. At the medieval time, when Christianity had strong dominance over all through the western world, humanity had been suppressed and beauty and attraction used as the source of the evil and against God. Simultaneously, female started to be taken as the source of evil and destruction. They were legal opinion the subject to be suppressed and always depending on the male and being the source of pleasure.Again the humanism is restored in this world still the meaning of the word, beauty and the stead to the fe male is not changed. Female are always deprived of their inborn intellectual, spiritual and physical capacities. Female are living in the false survey of flatter with the term beauty. It is a great misfortune that even the highly intellectual women and women writers are not free from such concept evaluating a female in terms of the superficial and skin-color, how an ordinary lady can be expected free from such mental snares.Paradoxically, women are praised with the false assumption that beauty is the source power, but they should be aware that this is not the power to do anything rather it is the power to stimulate the male to do something upon them, and to be completely feature by male, and to be consumed by even at the cost of self destruction. Custom This essay by an anthropologist, Clyde Klukhohn is an anthropological view on the human life and husbandry.Different than the thinkers of the other fields man anthropologist thinks human life and human civilization differently. Ac cording to him, there is something else than the biological reality and scientific advancement inevitably associated with human life in this colorful world society. It divides the human being into different cultural sectors. In spite of so great similarity in biological and scientific phenomenon among all the human beings in this world, some of typical behavior makes very deep and effective tint on their life.For example, Chinese dislike take out and milk products Japanese have the Hara-kiri some of the Koryak females like their husband to marry another wife, which is the issue of intolerance and jealousy for the female in America. near of the people devour the meat of snake, which makes disruptive reaction for the people of other places. The children of Indiana cultural do not like to dance boys and girls together, where the physical touches, within same clan are considered as the incestuous and immoral.These differences are caused only because of the geographical and climatic d ifferences. Though these differences seem insignificant superficially, they have great impact on ones life. One can live in the same culture where his habits have been formulated, rather than one biological identity. If an American is brought to inner China, where the Chinese culture is imparted into his essence of life, he is more Chinese than American in spite of his blood and complexion.These customs make greater differences than the biological realities within the physical body of one individual. Understanding of human life is not complete only with the biological understanding and without the understanding such cultural differences, which are generally know as the custom. A question is asked why the world is so much diversified that one feels completely alien while going to different society, in spite of the similarities in the biological factors in our body, as well as similarities in our behavior with the science and technology.Similar question can also be asked here how the world would be in case there is single custom all-through the world. Can we make the world with single custom? What would be its result? Would the world be as beautiful, as creative, and living worthy as we are seeing now? No most importantly man would lose the desire to live once his/her difference is omitted or suppressed completely.
