Impact of Technology On Banking Sector
Impact of Technology On Banking Sector
The Banking industry in India is rapidly progressing with increased customer base
and due to newly improved and innovative facilities offered by technology. As the coin
has two faces likewise technology also has its two sides on Indian banking Sector-the
positive and the negative side. The risks are high, though it can be minimized and
Technology will be the backbone of Indian Banking Industry in upcoming time
Corruption in India
Causes of corruption:-
Most of the employees in government and private sector are paid low salaries.
Even if someone caught red-handed by the anti-corruption officials or media,
either they get suspended or gets transferred to another location, the punishment
imposed on the criminals is inadequate.
People encourage corruption. If a person wants to get his done his work quickly,
he gets it done by corruption means if possible and then later criticizes the corrupt
official. During election, politicians always try to lure the people by offering money and
other things.
In government offices there is a lack of coordination and control leads to
irresponsible behavior and so those who are in urgency have to pay these officials to get
their work done on time. This lack of accountability in offices causes corruption too.
There are few good people (Activist, NGO’s, leaders) who strive hard to eradicate
corruption but due to lack of support and cooperation from people and the
government, the voices and efforts of these people are often suppressed(2011 anti-
corruption movement lead by Anna Hazare was successful yet The Lokpal Bill,2011 in
the parliament failed to pass).
There are those who raise their voices but they are either get threatened or
forced to leave their jobs and this fear stops them and others in future too. This
accelerates the growth of corruption. There is no protection for whistle blowers.
Many Politicians misuses their authority and power and accept bribes from
Private Businessman for approval of their projects. Again lack of serious punishments
encourages this phenomenon.
Due to lack of job opportunities, many people are ready to pay money in return
for the job offer.
Effects of corruption:-
The greatest effect of corruption is the loss of National wealth. India lost billions
and billions of rupees in various scam like Jeep Deal, 2G spectrums, Indian Cal
Allocation Scam and many more.
Corruption is the only hindrance in the way towards development. Many
development projects are taking more time for their completion as these officials stretch
these projects seeking more and more money from government which eventually ends in
their pockets.
Due to corruption, India is behind other countries in fields of Defense, Research
etc. Government is providing all the facilities but they are not reaching them.
Corruption is also the main cause of Poverty as Rich are getting richer & poor are
getting poorer. Not all the packages, compensation announced by government reach the
minorities and backward communities.
Incapable candidates are selected for higher posts. Authority and powers are in
wrong hands as these candidates lack leadership and management qualities.
Lots of new talents gets wasted every year as they didn’t get the opportunities to
prove themselves which eventually is a loss if India.
The recent increase in the crime rates are due to corruption in Police
administration. When officers engaged with corrupt activist, they let go culprits with
minor charges. Corruption give rise to Injustice and Injustice give rise to crimes and anti-
social activism.
The injustice resulting from Corruption forces many to commit suicides as in case
of farmers as many didn’t get the Schemes and Packages announced by Government
for their aid.
Few people are taking revenge thereby victim becomes the culprit. This is mainly
because of our corrupted and weak judicial system. It corrodes the healthy social fabric
of nation.
The biggest step is demonetization i.e. banning 500 and 1000 rs notes which is
the route of all evil, be it Corruption, Black Money, Terrorism.
Under “Right to Information Act (RTI)“, citizens can now ask government about
how out ta money is spent.
With “Jan Dhan yojana” & “Direct Benefit Transfer” schemes, bank accounts of
millions of people were opened so that they can get subsidies and benefits directly into
their account.
E-Auctions for spectrums and natural resources is a good step towards a
corruptionless India.
Government is focusing more on Digitizing, which will lead to more
transparency in functioning of government.
Government introduced self-attestation of certificates and has removed
interviews from lower posts, so no one can bribe their way through interview to jobs.
Another potent check on corruption is Central Vigilance Commission (CVC). It
was setup by the Government to advise and guide Central Government agencies in the
areas of vigilance.
The major breakthrough will come when ‘Jan Lokpal Bill’ get passed by the
parliament.
Establishment of special courts for speedy justice in corruption cases can be a
huge positive aspect. Much time should not elapse between the registration of a case
and the delivery of judgment.
Strong and stringent anti-corruption laws need to be enacted which gives no
room for the guilty to escape.
All government and non-government agencies should work in coordination with
media, educational institutions and corporate sectors to control and eradicate corruption.
They should be united in their efforts against corruption.
Moral values should be taught to children by their parents and teachers.
We, citizens have to stop doing this and report (make videos) if someone ask for
money. It’s a step by step process and it has to start from our end.
Conclusion :-
Corruption has ruined almost all establishments of India and adversely effecting
everyone and everything i.e. from roads to railways, Govt. schools to Hospitals. With co-
ordination from people and effective implementation of anti-corruption laws, Indian
government can tackle this issue
Reliance Jio created mobile internet revolution in 2016, when it announced free
voice calls and free data for a limited time. After that, it is providing 4G data at cheap
rates.
Recently, Reliance industries announced 4G feature phonesat effectively cost
zero.
In Favor :-
As Jio is providing 4G data and 4G mobile phones at cheaper prices, most of the
unconnected India will join Jio’s customer base. Jio Phone customers will pay Rs.153/-
per month, Other sim users will pay for 4G data. With more number of customers, Jio will
be able to get more profits.
In many remote parts of India, cable TV and high internet speeds have not
reached yet. Jio took advantage of this and is now providing these benefits to rural
areas. Jio already invested approx Rs.15,000 crores on fiber optical network. It is highly
unlikely that other telecom companies will take this risk to compete with Jio services.
Even if they take the risk, Jio will have the first-mover advantage.
For telecom companies, initial investment is high and maintenance costs are
fairly low. Reliance industries already invested a lot on Jio. Hence, it is now able to draw
profits with low maintenance costs.
Jio’s competitor’s data prices are very high comparatively. Hence people will
choose Jio over other networks.
Reliance industries have other sources for revenue such as Jio Apps, Lyf Smart
Phones, 4G Broadband services etc.
As Jio cable can be connected to any TV, people can save money on DTH
connection. Through this step, JioTV will get huge customer base.
Pre-order of Jio Feature phones will help them to mass produce phones. This
leads to low manufacturing cost per piece, hence high returns.
Against :-
If competitors of Jio start offering 4G data for cheap rates, price advantage of Jio
will not exist. If that happens, this business model will not be sustainable.
Only jio apps can be downloaded in the Jio 4G feature phone. This will limit the
choices for customers. Hence they may prefer regular cable connection over JioTV.
The present smartphone users may not prefer 4g feature phone. Because it is
single sim and the one who is used to using smartphone may not want to keep jio
feature phone as the main phone. Perhaps they will keep it as a second phone and may
not recharge 153 rs every month.
As monthly cost of JioTV and DTH services are almost similar,it’s much easier to
maintain set-top box instead of using mobile to watch TV. If DTH services reach remote
areas of India, it will be a disadvantage to Reliance industries.
Conclusion :-
It’s elections time, and every political party is promising farm loan waiver scheme.
Agricultural debt waiver scheme was first implemented in 1990. Then, Rs.10,000
crore worth farm loans were waived off. From then loan waivers are implemented
multiple times by many governments.
Good :-
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_pzh3tjthE[/embedyt]
Bad :-
Farm loan waivers are Bad Politics – Bad Economy, because often these things
are announced just before elections to attract voters and to get their votes. And generally
the government do not work much on implementing long term solutions to the
agricultural crisis. And hence it is the Bad Politics. And these loan waivers impact
economy in a negative way. It’ll be a huge burden on economy.
Loan waiver schemes disrupts credit discipline. Farmers will turn into willful
defaulters as they wait for the next loan waiver scheme, which is bad for economy. This
results in increasing number of bad loans in banks. And moreover the process of waiving
off the loans is also another burden on banks. This may result in banks implementing
stricter rules while issuing loans to farmers, which inturn forces farmers to go to local
money lenders.
As banks will not get loan repayments, issuing of fresh loans will be stalled.
This scheme indirectly punishes loan repayers. Those who repaid loan before the
announcement of the scheme are at loss.
Instead of loan waiver scheme, it will much better if government improves the
crop insurance scheme, educates farmers about the market trends, increases the
Minimum Support Price (MSP).
Rich farmers too may take loans even if there is no need, in the hope of the next
loan waiver scheme. This will impact the farmers who are genuinely in need of loans.
Some people compare bad loans of corporate sector with farm loan waivers. But
in general, if any company files bankruptcy, banks will try to recover the amount by
liquidation, which means selling of their properties or through other means. And it’s not
like banks are waiving off the bad loans of companies. So these things should not be
compared.
Finance ministers, economists and RBI governors always criticised the move.
Instead of waiving off loans everytime, governments should work on the root
causes of problem, that means improving agricultural sector, improving farmers income
by providing better infrastructure, better seeds, better technology etc.
In India, there is disguised employment in agricultural sector, that means more
number of people are working on a work that can be finished by less number of workers.
To solve this, government need to provide alternate employment opportunities. And
many more steps should be taken by following M S Swaminathan Committee’s
recommendations.
As these things take time, it is important to provide relief to farmers till then.
Government should invest in improving agricultural sector so that there will be no need
of next loan waiver scheme.
Often change of governments will result in fresh schemes. Political parties
criticise the previous governments and will implement new schemes. That
implementation will take months and finally when the result is about to come, there will
be another elections, change of governments and hence the change of schemes. This
process should be avoided.Political parties should cooperate with one another to
implement long-term solutions to improve agricultural sector and thereby farmers’ lives.
Conclusion :-
Though loan waive offs will disrupt credit discipline, farm loan waiver scheme is
beneficial to many. Amid the increasing farmer suicides, loan waiver scheme provides
relief for many families and encourages them to invest in the next crop. This in turn
benefits India’s food security as well. But government should invest in improving
agricultural sector so that there will be no need of next loan waiver scheme
Large banks of India like SBI, HDFC and ICICI decided to impose limit on cash
transactions on monthly basis and will levy charges on cash transactions exceeding free
ones.
HDFC, ICICI and Axis banks started this charges from March 1st, 2017. SBI will
implement this from April 1st, 2017.
In Favor :-
To manage customers accounts, banks spend a lot of money. For each account,
banks spend money on stationary expenses while opening account, entering the details
online, issuing debit or credit cards, maintaining the records online and offline, taking
care of transactions, cyber security, salaries for employees, electricity and phone bills
etc. Banks earn interest with the money deposited. But banks are in losses. So, to
recover from losses, it is reasonable to levy charges on cash transactions exceeding
free ones.
While India is undergoing demonetization, cash transactions have reduced. But
now as there is sufficient physical cash in the economy, cash transactions are
increasing. As India is moving towards cashless economy, this move will
encourage cashless transactions.
Jandhan Accounts have no minimum balance requirement. Most of the
these account holders only visit bank to withdraw pensions, subsidies etc. To maintain
Jandhan accounts with no profit, banks had to levy charges on the remaining accounts.
It costs a lot for banks to maintain ATMs. This move will helps in reducing the
costs. Because, for example A withdrew money from ATM and paid it to B. B will deposit
the money in his account through ATM or bank. If many people follow this process,
the costs of transporting money, security, setting up ATMs and maintaining them are a
huge burden to banks. Limiting cash transactions will force customers to opt for cashless
transactions, hence less costs for banks, which inturn benefits economy.
Four cash transactions per month is sufficient for an average Indian.
Banks have the freedom to levy charges.
Against :-
Rather than keeping money in savings accounts for a mere 4% interest rate and
paying additional charges for transactions, keeping money in homes will become a cost-
effective solution. This move will discourage people to invest money in savings
accounts. If that happens, it will be a blow to banks and Indian economy as well.
After demonetization move, Indian government encouraged citizens to keep their
money in banks. Now, imposing charges on transactions can be frustrating to many who
learned to operate bank accounts recently.
While India is undergoing demonetization move, customers were denied of their
right to withdraw their own money. But Indians accepted it with no direct incentive.
Imposing more burden on customers is not fair.
Banks are in losses because of bad loans. If they recover money from big loan defaulters,
banks can recover from losses. It is much better than levying charges on middle income
group.Conclusion :-Though banks have their own reasons to levy charges on cash
transactions, it will demotivate customers to use bank accounts. Banks are running on
customers’ money. If customers return to the old way of keeping money in homes, whole
economy will be at loss. Hence Indian government should intervene in the issue and a
balanced decision is the need of the hour.
In Favor :-
China is blocking India’s bid to list Masood Azhar as a terrorist. Not just
this, China is blocking India from becoming a member of Nuclear Suppliers
Group (NSG) using its veto power. On one hand China wants to maintain good
trade relations with India, and on the other hand, it is acting against India in many
cases. So, maintaining good trade relations with China may not be a good thing.
Imports from China are hurting the businesses of Indian manufacturers,
especially Medium Small & Micro Enterprises (MSME) sector. China is able to
produce products for cheaper prices because of its mass production methods.
Mainly there are 12 types of products produced by MSME sector. Sadly,
most of the imports from China are also these 12 types of products.
India has a huge trade deficit with China. For the year 2017-18, India’s
imports from China are worth $76.2 billion dollars, whereas India’s exports to
China are worth $33 billion dollars. So, there is a need to reduce this trade
deficit.
Many Indian Toys industries were closed because of the vast imports of
cheaper Chinese toys.
Many Chinese products such as fire crackers, plastic toys are found to be
Health and Environment hazard, because of the use of low quality materials in
the making.
Chinese industries doesn’t spend much money on innovation, research
and development, rather they just manufacture imitation goods whenever new
products are innovated in other countries. So, it is morally incorrect to import
these goods.
Against :-As a member of World Trade Organization (WTO), India cannot simply
ban imports from its member countries.
Facts :-Chinese goods are cheaper mainly because of ‘Large scale production’ and
‘cheap labor’.
‘The Confederation of All India Traders’ (CAIT) has claimed that the sale of
Chinese goods in the Diwali season, 2016 was down by 60% as a result of the social
media campaign urging people to boycott Chinese goods.Conclusion :-
India imports 40% of the World’s total production of Gold, making India as
the top importer of Gold metal.
India imports approx 1000 tons of Gold per year.
The imports are mainly from China, USA, Australia, South Africa and
Russia.
In India, approx 4000 tons of gold is lying idle in Temples, and approx
15000 tons is in Indian homes.
Gold imports of India is on the rise.
Indians prefer buying gold in metal form, whereas Gold bonds, futures are
preferred in other countries.
Average Indian middle class family’s lifetime expenditure on Gold is
approx 15 to 80 lakhs.
Demand for gold in India is different in different parts of the country.
Generally, South Indians buy lots of gold ornaments.
‘Reserve Bank of India’ has setup a committee to study why Indians spend
lots of money on Gold. The committee will submit its report in 2017.
Effects on India :-
Govt of India increased tax on gold imports to lessen the demand for gold
imports.
Gold Monetization Scheme was launched in 2015 to bring out the gold
lying idle in homes into the Indian Economy. Through this scheme people can
deposit their gold and can earn interest on it. But the response was not upto the
mark since the jewelry will be converted into gold bars. Temples are the major
beneficiaries for this scheme.
What we can do :-
We can invest on other alternatives like mutual funds, Gold bonds etc. It’s
safe for us and the for the Economy as well.
We can wear other types of jewelry rather than piling up gold ornaments in
home.
Conclusion :-
Pros :-
Cons :-
Still there are many rural & tribal areas, which don’t have banking
facility and road connectivity.
As of now, only 3% Indians pay income tax. So, determining the income of
the rest of the citizens is still a challenge hence making it difficult to identify the
deserving beneficiaries.
Most of the banks appoints Business Correspondents
to enroll beneficiaries in rural areas. They may open more than one account for
each beneficiary for incentive. And there are many complaints that they are not
giving passbooks to the beneficiaries making them unaware of the
scheme. Illiterate beneficiaries are more vulnerable in this case.
Direct cash may not be used for intended purpose and can be used in
unhealthy ways. For example, the cash instead of food subsidy may be spent on
drinking and smoking as most of beneficiaries’ families’ heads are men.
Micro ATMs, which were set up to deliver cash benefits at door step are
not present in many areas hence many beneficiaries have to travel long to
withdraw money.
Most of the beneficiaries’ families’ heads are men. This will be
a disadvantage to women as there is no guarantee that they will get their share of
the cash.
Interesting facts :-
Conclusion :-
In Favor :-
In Against :-
These food grains will be distributed through the already existing PDS
(Public Distribution System). This PDS has many loopholes such as leakages of
food grains, corruption etc.
The exact no. of poor is not calculated correctly. Different departments are
giving different numbers. And the criteria for ‘deciding who is poor’ is not upto the
mark.
The cost of this bill, Rs.1.24 lakh crore will be a burden for the
government, and may lead to fiscal deficit.
As most of the food grains will be procured by Govt, exports will reduced,
which is a big threat to the economy.
Farmers have to sell their food grains for procurement prices rather than
market prices. It will be loss for farmers.
It’s better if govt provide them employment rather than providing food.
Small farmers may shift to other crops, as they may get the subsidized
food grains. This may reduce the production of food grains.
Conclusion :-
In Favor :-
FDI helps in the economic development of the host country, where the
investment arrives.
For origin and host countries, FDI provides access to new technologies,
products, skills and organizational and management strategies.
Employment opportunities increases in the host country.
Origin country, which means the country that makes the investment
also develops economically through profits earned.
Competition increases. With competitive spirit, every company improves to
its best.
Through FDI in production companies, price reduction is possible.
FDI is a boon for the small companies to become more actively involved in
international business activities.
Against :-
Dominance of foreign companies over Indian companies can sometimes
be detrimental to domestic interests.
Inflation (the rise in prices over a period of time) may increase.
With the FDI in retail sector, small companies and merchants will suffer.
Technological dependence on foreign technology sources.
Conclusion :-
FDI is beneficial for any country to develop it’s economy and technological
talent. But, FDI’s share should be limited to 49% to avoid foreign companies’
dominance over Indian companies
In Favor :-
Employees of private companies are given high salaries, so they are much
more motivated to work, and less interested in corruption.
Private companies take immediate action on those who take bribe. This
creates fear in employees to take bribe.
Private institutions take more care to keep them clean and to provide more
facilities.
Private companies have competitive spirit. So, they offer more features to
public.
Our country’s GDP increases from the taxes paid by private institutions.
In Against :-
Conclusion:-
Corruption does not depend on whether it’s private or government, it
completely depends on individual’s attitude. But by privatization, we can reduce
corruption up to some extent
The agency’s decision was based on the positive outlook of the economic
and institutional reforms which will create high growth possibilities and decrease
the government debt. An article in Business Today stated the reasons given by
Moody’s for this upgrade in four points which are as follows:
This decision will impact the Indian economy in various ways; some of them
are as follows:
Moody’s noted in its report that “The rating could also face downward
pressure if the health of the banking system deteriorated significantly or external
vulnerability increased sharply.” This brings up the need to maintain the Indian
fiscal metrics to avoid a downgrade.
Conclusion:
Not only the upgrade instils confidence in investors in India but also provides
an international recognition to the country. Thus it can be understood that the
upgrade will boost the Indian economy
Better governance:
One of the major reasons why privatization is favoured is the need for better
governance in PSBs. The 2014 PJ Nayak Committee noted that the board of
most of the PSBs is compromised and lack the sense of purpose. The committee
recommended reforms to instil responsibility in the board.
The fact that PSBs are required to meet the social goals is a myth. The private
banks have satisfactorily met their targets and sometimes done even better in
this respect, with the help of RBI regulations and directives. Thus it is important
to weigh the social benefits of PSBs against the cost they impose on the
investors repeatedly.
The evil of corruption is majorly evident in the PSBs. This is due to interference
by politicians in the bank policy and the lazy staff. These factors contribute to
negligence and banking crisis. Overall this leads to loss of trust among people
and ultimately no benefit for the common man.
The private sector banks have succeeded due to their aggressive marketing
strategies and have capital to spend, whereas public sectors banks are unable to
attract customers.
In the rural areas only the public sector banks provide the services. The private
sector banks concentrate on making in profits thus their reach is limited to
metro/urban and semi-urban areas. It is very cumbersome to make banking
services available in the underprivileged areas. Thus only the Public Sector
banks can fulfill this as the social policy of the government.
Irrespective of the kind of banking model there are always some issues. Even if it
is a private sector bank the government will have to intervene to save the bank in
case of default. Thus completely trusting private sector banks on account of no
defaults is not the right option.
Mr Rajnish Kumar, the chairman of State Bank of India told Economic Times in
an interview that irrespective of the Nirav Modi case people haven’t withdrawn
money from Punjab National Bank as they still have faith in the bank due to
government ownership.
Public Sector banks are meant for the upliftment of the society, this doesn’t mean
that they should not generate profits. It should be noted that the PSBs are the
cash generators of the government and provide continuous stream of income in
form of dividends. Apart from this, every government scheme has the
involvement of public sector banks. Thus rather than privatization the focus
should be on independence of public sector banks.
The unprecedented success of Jan Dhan Yojana is the best example for the
same. No private sector bank came forward, only the public sector bankers did
the extra work along with their regular jobs.
Conclusion:
Many people argue for the case of no privatization and advice overhauling or
independence as measures to improve the situation of Public Sector banks. This
seems right, but the benefits from privatization of banks should not be ignored
either. It can be concluded that both kinds of banking structures are essential for
the economy
United States has increased tariffs on its Chinese imports – steel and
aluminium. It is one of the Donald Trump’s presidential election promises. Trump
explained that country’s military should not be dependent on imports of the
metals. He also announced that US will restrict China’s investments in American
companies. Trump blamed China for unemployment and Trade deficit in US.
As a consequence of this, China too increased tariffs on its imports from
US including pork, wine, fruit and nuts.
If this trade war continues between the world’s two biggest economies,
there will be a huge impact on both countries and also on other countries.
Impact on USA :-
Majority of US bonds are in the hands of China. If China start selling these
bonds, there will be a huge negative impact on US economy, and dollar value
may fall.
Increase of taxes on China goods means people in USA have to pay
higher prices for the goods that were hitherto available for cheaper prices. Middle
classes are at loss here.
American farmers are the beneficiaries in Soya exports to China. As China
is also toughening its rules against US, Soya farmers of US will be at loss.
Some US industries depend on Chinese imports as their input materials.
If China devalues its currency, Chinese goods will become much cheaper
and thereby give a tougher competition to US goods.
When trump announced extra tariffs on Chinese goods, US stocks
suffered worst fall.
Some other nations that have trade relations with US arelosing trust on
United States due to its safeguard policies.
China buys Boeing commercial Airplanes from US. If it starts buying them
from Europe instead of US, it will be huge loss to Aircraft manufacturers of the
United States.
China may impose more restrictions on US companies that are in China.
If China increases restrictions on American goods, there will be more job
losses in US.
Impact on China :-
Impact on India :-
If inflation and interest rates rise in US because of trade war,investors may
invest in US instead of developing countries like India.
Stock market volatility and fluctuations may cause increase of gold rate.
As Indians are obsessed with gold, it will impact our economy significantly.
Not all imports from China are Chinese goods. Several countries
assemble their products in China because China offers several incentives and
also it has cheap labour. So, the restrictions on Chinese imports will impact
economies of these countries.
Asian stock markets faced many fluctuations due to this trade war. In
many Asian countries stock markets fell.
Trade war between two biggest economies of the world is not at all good
for International economy.
Conclusion :-
In January 2019, China ordered it’s army to prepare for waramid clashes
between China & USA at South China sea. This intensified the debates about
whether World war 3 is going to happen or not.
Let’s analyse the scope of major issues that have the probability of causing world
war 3.
Natural resources :-
Wars and natural resources have a long common history. There are many
wars fought in the world due to natural resources. And it cannot be ruled out that
they cause World War 3. Oil, water, land & minerals can cause wars in future.
There are many territorial disputes among countries in different parts of
the world. For example, Kashmir is a big issue in between India & Pakistan.
James Shoal is a cause of conflict between China & Malaysia. These territorial
disputes have the potential to cause war, and the allies of both countries may
side with them which may lead to another world war.
Seas are also causing conflicts among countries. For example, several
states are fighting to keep South China sea as international waters. USA is
conducting “Freedom of navigation” operation in South China Sea, which is
causing tension between China & USA. China recently ordered its army to
prepare for war amid South China sea conflict.
Developed and developing countries often fight among themselves for
the minerals and metals in underdeveloped countries. Through neo-colonialism,
they try to get hold of metals and minerals of underdeveloped countries.
Oil is one of the major issues among nations. There are several conflicts
on this issue. For example, recently Iran threatened to cut off entire oil supply to
USA amid it’s sanctions on Iran.
Political reasons :-
Until recently tensions between USA and North Korea was a cause of
concern because both nations threatened each other with their reserve of nuclear
weapons. Political issues may easily turn into wars.
At present there are conflicts among two of the biggest powers in the
world – China & USA. Trade wars and conflicts at South China sea may escalate
into war.
Alliances among countries are on the rise creating multi-polar world. World
war 2 has proved that multi polar world is at the threat of World war.
Issues like Russia Ukraine conflict & Israel Palestinian conflictcan also
turned into war, because both sides are supported by different countries and
hence the war can become another world war.
Big powers of the world is increasing their military capacityand are
investing on arms and nuclear weapons to prepare themselves if in case war
breaks out.
Terrorism :-
Conclusion :-
On one side, many people are working towards establishing peace in the
world. On another side, some leaders are creating conflicts among countries. If
world war 3 happens, entire human race may be wiped out, because of the
technologically advanced weapons and nuclear arms. To avoid this from
happening, all nations should work towards reviving peace in the world through
negotiations and understanding. There is a need of more diplomatic leaders in
the world. If third world war happens, lack of diplomatic leaders will be the
possible reason behind it
Negative side :-
Conclusion :-
Technology changes the nature of jobs. Though, some jobs will become redundant,
technological advancement have the potential to create many more employment
opportunities than it eliminated. Continuous learning and updating the skills is the need
of the hour.
Indian politicians have also been catching up. Several political parties have
opted for the services of Data Analytics firms to understand voter behavior for the
2019 Lok Sabha elections. In the Indian context, information privacy has been a
bone of contention between the present government and the opposition over the
Aadhaar Bill. Aadhaar database has been repeatedly proven to be prone and
vulnerable to attacks. A single breach in its security could expose vital
information of Indian citizens.
In the light of this privacy loophole, for the Big Data Technology to stay
relevant and benevolent, certain checks and balances need to exist. Stringent
privacy norms and punitive laws need to be put in place so that companies would
be more careful with user data. Data must only be used with consumer/user
consent. Also, the consumers/users must be made aware mandatorily of the
exact details of the information that would be extracted from their profiles, to what
extent will it be used, etc.
