Short Note Or Summary On Responsibilities Of A Good Citizen

Many thousands years ago men lived in caves just like animals. Later on, they learnt to live together a safer and better life. At first, they began to live in families and then in tribes. Later they settled along the banks of rivers where, in time, grew towns large and small. Life became safer, easier and charming. Some men began farming the land. Some became weavers, some masons, some cobblers and some soldiers. They all worked for one another. As societies grew larger, men became more civilized, new professions developed. Laws were made to safeguard people. Today we have doctors, teachers, engineers, artists, writers, policemen and a host of other workers who all do something for their fellowmen. A man alone can not do all works himself for his need, he has to take the help of other.
It is the duty of every citizen to work honestly. We get the same treatment from others as we treat them. So if we want to be treated honestly, we should treat the others honestly. If we want our right, we must give the right of other. To get our rights, we must fulfill our duties. If we want to solve the problems of the country, we should be honest, we should fulfill our duty honestly.

Short Note Or Summary On The Miller Of The Dee

In the poem "The Miller Of The Dee", Charles Mackay, the poet of the poem, comparing the life of a king and the life of a miller, proves that life of an ordinary man is better than the life of a rich and powerful man. As the life of a common man is care-free and he does not have anything to lose so he is fearless. He has not jealousy for his fellowmen so he enjoys peace of mind. A common man enjoys the beauty and simplicity of life. Contrary to him a rich and powerful man lacks peace of mind. No one has true love and sincerity for him. Inspite of all rich and power his life is not a happy life.
;Charles Mackay tells the story of a miller in the poem. The miller used to work from morning to night. He kept singing a song while working. The theme of the song was that he envied none and none envied him. The King passed there one day. He said that he was wrong because he envied him. The King was sad while the miller was happy. The King asked the miller why he was happy. The miller replied that he earned his bread with his hands and spent the money on his family. He led a contented life and owed nothing to anyone .The King said that his mealy cap was worth his crown and his mill was worth his kingdom. He also said that men like him were England's pride.

Short Note Or Summary On Nursing

Nursing means taking care of and looking after the sick, the injured, the young, the old or the helpless with love and sympathy. It is difficult to say when nursing was organised in a scientific way. However it is as old as is man's feeling for his suffering fellow men.
Islam regards nursing very important. Our Holy Prophet(peace be upon him) visited the sick regularly, comforted them and spoke kind words to them. He would go to inquire the welfare even of his ailing enemies. He urged the Muslims to help the sick or suffering. On the battlefield, all Muslim soldiers were always very kind to the sick, old and the injured. They never killed their wounded enemies. The Muslim ladies were very active on the battlefield giving water to the soldiers and tending the wounded and the sick. Hazrat Ghifaria, who accompanied the Holy Prophet in the Battle of Khyber, was a very good nurse. The Holy Prophet established a hospital in Madina and placed it in the charge of a very competent nurse, Hazrat Rufaida.
Nursing was not at all popular in the beginning. Parents did not allow their daughters to become nurses. As shown in the story of the girl, Florence Nightingale who in 1851 became the founder of modern nursing and one of the greatest women in history.
Florence Nightingale was born in Italy in 1820. Her parents were wealthy and cultured English people and expected her to marry in a noble family. But she had other ideas. She thought that the aim of her life was to serve suffering humanity. So she decided to become a nurse. Everybody in her family opposed her but she did not give in. She competent a training at the Kaiserswerth Institution of Nursing in Germany.
In 1853, she managed a small hospital for sick women in London. In 1854 during England-Russia war, the British Government asked her to manage the military hospitals in Crimea. She played a great role in the war and was awarded £ 45000 for her services in the war. She established an institution of nursing in London with that money.
