My Peer Group

 Q: What class traits define your peer group? For example, what speech patterns or clothing trends do you and your friends share? What cultural elements, such as taste in music or hobbies, define your peer group? How do you see this set of class trait as different from other classes either above or below yours?


Ans: Class traits of my peer groups are the following: We are middle class students,with similar interests, in the social hierarchy. We are not either superrich or in poverty. Secondly, We belong to one social group ethnically. We are Balochs. We have a distint culture, customs, social norms, moral values, and language. Our cultural identity distinguishes us from other social groups. Our speech patterns are distinct, specific and well-defined. Our clothing style is apparent and noticeable. What defines my peer group is our taste for music and our inclination for reading. We off and on play Balochi sarinda with great affection. Balochi sarinda  is a stringed Balochi folk musical  instrument similar to lutes or fiddles. It is played with a bow and has between ten and thirty strings. The bottom part of the front of its hollow wooden soundbox is covered with animal skin. It is played while sitting on the ground in a vertical orientation.
We go to university together. We learn together. We share our hostels. My peer group is inclined towards political gatherings also. My peer group has hobbies of infinite attractions. We enjoy Balochi Chap specifically on special occasions. Morever, We have other hobbies too. Exact definition of my peer group is.. that we are students first. We belong to one place geographically. Our education and hostelty is shared and mutual. We share the good and bad, happy and sad moments together. What makes us different from others is our distinct identity. Our affection and love for each other, mutual interests, cultural convergence, likemindedness, homogeneity, and uniformity is what makes us different.

'Personal Responsibilities'

In Pakistan, beforing going on travel .. people often recite some verses of Holy Quran and bid words of prayer to God in order to reach safe and sound to the desired desination. Even though reciting verses of Holy Book and praying to God for 'safety' cause no harm, yet performing these acts at the expense/cost of 'one's responsibilities/duties/ respect/care for the traffic rules and regulation ' is obviously not an intelligent, judicious and sensible act.  To recite verses and to bid words of prayers for safety is desirable, yet to be negligent of one's responsibility to take care of traffic rules and regulation is absolutely wrong/insensible/ destructive. Religious teachings are for bringing light/ understanding/ awareness/sense of responsibility in the life. It is not about justifying our carelessness and running away from responsibilities. Life is all about responsibilities that we owe to ourselves . Human nature  tends to have recourse to short-cuts i...

To avoid real embarrassment in life, feel shame in petty issue& be assertive.

To avoid real embarrassment in life, feel shame in petty issue&be assertive. I agree with it. It's saying quite right. In order to avoid bigger embarrassment in life,we must learn to own our petty mistakes whilst dealing with the problems of daily life. Let me share a short but highly disturbing problem of my student life in relation to this statement which I personally went through& to be honest,still going through  the process.Not to be able to speak fluent english without hesitation has been my  problem.After having a considerble command over basic grammar & composition ; tenses, passive voices,infinitives, narrations, paragraph writing,extension, letter writing,etc. I had incessantly been struggling to improve my english speaking skills. Although, my efforts had paid off to great extent by the grace of my Allah, yet I feel  not only deficient while it comes to speaking, it made me disappointed most of the time too. I had been unable to remove the ...
