लिंग रूढ़िवादिता: भारतीय समाज में महिलाओं पर इसका प्रभाव
लिंगवाद क्या है?
लिंग रूढ़िवादिता का तात्पर्य किसी व्यक्ति के लिंग के आधार पर उसके बारे में बनाई गई सीमित और पूर्वनिर्धारित धारणाओं से है। ये धारणाएँ समाज द्वारा बनाई गई हैं और बताती हैं कि एक पुरुष या महिला को कैसा व्यवहार करना चाहिए, उसे क्या भूमिका निभानी चाहिए और उसमें कौन से गुण होने चाहिए। ये धारणाएँ अक्सर अनम्य होती हैं और व्यक्ति की व्यक्तिगत क्षमताओं और इच्छाओं की अनदेखी करती हैं।
भारतीय समाज में महिलाओं पर लैंगिक रूढ़िवादिता का प्रभाव
भारतीय समाज में लैंगिक रूढ़िवादिता ने सदियों से महिलाओं को प्रभावित किया है। कुछ प्रमुख निहितार्थ इस प्रकार हैं:
शिक्षा और करियर: महिलाओं को अक्सर घर के कामों तक ही सीमित रखा जाता है और उन्हें शिक्षा और करियर बनाने के लिए प्रोत्साहित नहीं किया जाता है। इससे महिलाओं का आत्मविश्वास कम होता है और उनकी आर्थिक स्वतंत्रता पर भी असर पड़ता है।
सामाजिक प्रतिष्ठा: समाज में महिलाओं को पुरुषों की तुलना में कम प्रतिष्ठा दी जाती है। उन्हें अक्सर कमज़ोर और आश्रित माना जाता है।
घरेलू हिंसा: लैंगिक रूढ़िवादिता घरेलू हिंसा को बढ़ावा देती है। पुरुषों को महिलाओं पर हावी होने का अधिकार दिया जाता है और महिलाओं को इस हिंसा के खिलाफ बोलने से रोका जाता है।
स्वास्थ्य: लैंगिक रूढ़िवादिता महिलाओं के स्वास्थ्य को भी प्रभावित करती है। महिलाओं को अपनी स्वास्थ्य समस्याओं के बारे में खुलकर बात करने से रोका जाता है और उन्हें उचित चिकित्सा सुविधाएं नहीं मिल पाती हैं।
राजनीतिक प्रतिनिधित्व: राजनीति में महिलाओं का प्रतिनिधित्व कम है। लैंगिक रूढ़िवादिता के कारण महिलाओं को नेतृत्व की भूमिका निभाने के लिए तैयार नहीं माना जाता है।

Weather systems all around the world are modified by climate change and the number of associated events of extreme weather increases. Global warming changes the circulation of the atmosphere and oceans, which impacts, among other things, the amount of rain or snow that falls on the Earth, the speed of winds, and the power of storms.
As the oceans warm up, hurricanes and typhoons get worse and because there is lots of water vapor in the air heavy rainfall results in severe flooding. Heatwaves are occurring more often and are more intense posing risks to both people and crops. The instances of Drought and wildfires are on the rise with an increase in temperature and a decrease in rain.
Every occurrence of this nature translates to significant financial losses, population relocation, and environmental degradation. Combating climate change its consequences and finding means of coping with it is the strategy for a sustainable development.

As we move to the next stage of change, advocacy, especially education and public awareness within grassroots actions, takes a primary role in the pronounced action on climate change. It can be done through climate change at schools and school teacher training.
Such campaigns in the format for all categories of the audience, for instance. Social media, TV, radio, and print can effectively cater to a vast portion of the society in proportions to their availability. Contributing towards this, there are communicative and participatory events like workshops and seminars. There is also the strengthening of their conduits in creating change through specific projects that involve the general public for instance, citizen science projects. For instance, climate espousing beliefs and the people’s voice can also take action against the authorities and make them make certain decisions.
International programs and cross-national education shall also enhance the upsurge in grass root efforts encouraging the world to be more synergetic, where with the taking of initiatives aimed at educating or raising awareness, also empowerment through the communicating the need to act, broadens the scope of action change within the said levels.

The melting of the polar ice caps has direct effects on global weather patterns.
1. Disrupted Ocean Currents: The freezing and thawing cycles of water contribute to the rise and decline of temperatures in the earth’s oceans which in turn may destroy some of the ocean currents including the Gulf stream. Ocean currents help to circulate air around the globe and prevent certain regions from becoming extremely hot or cold causing a change in climate disruption such as extreme heat waves, or major flooding.
2. Sea Level Rise: The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets contain vast amounts of fresh water that melted could cause the sea level to rise which in turn causes coastal areas to erode and inundate without considering the impact on the economy in those regions. Furthermore, this would lead to a change in behavioral tendencies of people within those regions and exacerbate extreme normal occurrences.
3. Altered Circulation in the Atmosphere: The effect of ice thawing is felt on the pressure and temperature of the atmosphere, which then interrupts the normal flow of the wind including the jet streams. In most cases this kind of circulation causes many storms, which are also stronger than usual and occur more frequently.
See lessTo sum it up, no matter how tenuous the links between the melting of polar ice and the earth’s magnetic field, the secondary repercussions on global weathering are quite elementary. Polar ice melt, as it seems, is a very intricate concern dealing with a lot of factors that govern the composition and the behaviour of climate and ecosystems across the globe.
