Some say that ills of a particular society are the outcome of that society’s inherent nature itself, whereas there is another argument that it is the ills of the people that make a society what it actually is.

· How do you look at these two points of view?

It is a fact that every society in unique. But when it comes to what constitute the ills of a particular society, there are two major things that come play. They are the inherent nature of the society itself, and the changes the people who occupy it happen to have. 45 words

If we look at these two objectively, it can be proved that both the factors right in more ways than one. To prove the point, let me quote an example. Indian society is inherently patriarchic, and its being male dominant makes it suffer from a lot of ills. They are, primarily, dowry, gender based discrimination, domestic violence, female feticide, aggression on women and so on. These are very serious social ills. And not many would deny the fact these ills happen to decide what Indian society actually is. India is what it inherently is. 95 words

If we look at from another angle, we can find that India society is presently suffering from a lot many other ills. For example, Indian society is now suffering from ills like corruption, materialism, consumerism, falling traditional values, disregard for elders, aggression on nature, greed and gross violation of spiritual ways etc. Undoubtedly, these ills give Indian society a different look. So it is right to say that these ills are results of the changes the community happens to inherit out of influence from external agencies like power of money, westernization, market and corporate culture to mention a few. 95 words

Therefore, it may be opined that inherent characteristics of a given society give it a set of ills whereas there is another set of ills, which are man made. And it can be concluded that inherent ills and acquired ones are equally contributory in making a society what it actually is. 45 words
