CAMPUS TRENDS:IS OUR SOCIETY ROTTEN?

The trending events around the public varsities are showing an image worth not associating with. Is our society rotten this much? Are the activities deviant norms? Is the media oversensitizing  the issues?

When a politician's rejection leads to massive destruction of property in an institution of higher learning, a lot is left unanswered. How much help will the politician do worth of destruction of hostels and transformers? It is indeed a pity as for sure even if the leader gets the position very little will be done save for the rhetorics.

Kidnappings by university students is an emerging trend that is not only shocking but also portrays the impact of capitalism in our society. How down can one be to kidnap a child for money?This is pure greed and inhuman venture.

Selling the leaked examination for the high schools is also catapulted by the comrades. As much as the examination body is claiming how fake the papers are, probabilities of the real papers sneaking are high. The source of the menace is likely from within the body.
What triggers the process remains anonymous but the result is evident, how does one make it to campus by cheating and fail continuing the same?

Attacking the publics surrounding the campus is another archaic approach to seeking audience. What wrong does the neighbors do to earn your punishment? Are they in any way conversant or even contributors to your worries?

A comrade is always right so says the popular slogan , the concerns may be genuine but the approach taken indicates otherwise.  This is not the true meaning of been right. Dialogue ought to be embraced and peaceful demonstrations unlike the damaging of property. The sad part is that all will pay and the innocent parents are topped with unprecedented costs.
Thinking of comrades as the creme de la  creme,then one is left wondering what the uneducated are capable of doing. A few rogue individuals are tainting the admired image of the intellects.
Restoring confidence to the people is all that is required but how to make it happen is the tricky part. I blame not only the comrades but the society at large for the conception of such ideologies has its foundation in the society. The administration should be keen on controlling probable messy situations and throwing the ball back to the comrades,your behaviors should equate to your intellectual abilities. Let the good slogan have its true meaning,a comrade is always right.

Yea.This is actually a crisis.Campus is not such a noble place anymore.There is no nobility in those places anymore.They have now been muddled up with corruption,politics,tribalism and all those that it should fight.

Whoever coined camposanity should have incorporated 'in' in between.
