Answer 1

Answer: Nepal is one of the underdeveloped countries of the world. There are different social problems and evils in the society. Social problems and evils are issues which affect the members of a society. A social problem is normally a term used to describe problems with a particular area or group of people in the world. Some of the common social evils would be alcoholism, racism, child abuse, etc. It also affects how people react to certain situations. Nepal is facing a large number of social problems such as caste system, child labor, illiteracy, gender inequality, superstitions, religious conflicts and much more. A single person is not responsible for these social problems. It is high time to get relief of these undesirable social evils. Illiteracy and poverty are also the major root causes of social evils. Social problems and evils are the barriers to development and progress.

27% of the population is under absolute poverty. Because of poor growth in the agricultural sector, living standards in rural areas causes poverty. The growing population has put heavy pressure on cultivable land. The superstitious beliefs which are deeply rooted in Nepalese societies are also promoting social problems. People believe in various traditions which would not let an individual to progress. This happens because people are innocent. Untouchability was legally prohibited on 2020 BS but it is deep rooted still now. Deuki system is one of the evil social practices or tradition or culture in the hilly area of the far western region, poor people offer their young daughter to the god. Dowry system is the practice in which cash or goods given to bridegroom from the bride’s father in the marriage ceremony. There is a belief that grown-up daughters are not supposed to be kept in home for the too long time so their marriage is done in the early age, which causes mental and physical problems and then causes the pre-mature death of the mother.

In the context of Nepal, still many people consider women as weak in comparison to men. Many people still think that women are created to serve men. People still treat daughters as some commodities which can be traded among the people. Many people still believe that girls should not be educated. The parents aborting a baby girl is one of the main examples of gender discrimination in our society. Caste Discrimination was the root cause of the 'civil war' in Nepal. The use of alcohol, smoking, addiction to drugs, is devouring the youth of the country. Some of them really don’t know the effects of such habits. Corruption is a form of dishonesty or abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It is an illegal act of an office-holder. . Child abuse can be physical, sexual or emotional. Most abused children suffer greater emotional than physical damage.

I have written about the problems but not the solution, very very sorry.
