Impact
and its impact
Dr.
Balasubramanian, Thought Leader/Transformation Coach
Impact:
In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments; there
are consequences. Everything we do has a
result. But that which is right and prudent does not always lead to good, nor
the contrary to what is bad. Impact is nothing but the ‘karma’. Every act has
an impact. Every impact has its influence.
Impact of Floods:
Floods impact on both individuals and communities, and have
social, economic, and environmental consequences. The consequences of floods,
both negative and positive, vary greatly depending on the location and extent
of flooding, and the vulnerability and value of the natural and constructed
environments they affect.
Impact of Education:
Society and education are two inseparable elements in our
world. It has always been in talks how education influences the society. The
things we are taught and what we learn through our schooling affects the kind
of person we are and consequently influences the society as a whole.
Impact of Money:
Having more money means having more prestige and therefore
more attention and esteem. But wealthy
people often experience that this kind of esteem isn’t long lasting. It has to be earned each day anew – a
never-ending fight for esteem. Chasing money for chasing esteem can make people
forget that there are other important things in life such as taking care of the
people around us. Taking care of
relationships requires self-consciousness and a healthy self-esteem.
Impact on women’s economic development:
Investing in women is recognized not only as the right thing
to do but also the smart thing to do. Mounting evidence demonstrates that
increases in women’s income lead to improvements in children’s health. As
female education rises, fertility, population growth, and infant and child
mortality fall and family health improves.
Impact of domestic violence:
Children living with domestic violence suffer emotional and
psychological trauma from the impact of living in a household that is dominated
by tension and fear. These children will see their mother threatened, demeaned
or physically or sexually assaulted. They will overhear conflict and violence
and see the aftermath of the violence such as their mother's injuries and her
traumatic response to the violence.
Impact of unemployment:
Unemployment affects not just the person himself but also
his/her family and in the long run the society where he lives. Unemployment
brings with it despair, unhappiness and anguish. It forces people to live their
lives in a way they do not wish to – The life expectancy is negatively
affected.
Impact of corruption:
The effect of corruption has many dimensions related to
political, economic, social and environmental effects. In political sphere, corruption impedes
democracy and the rule of law. In a democratic system, public institutions and
offices may lose their legitimacy when they misuse their power for private
interest. Corruption may also result in negative consequences such as encoring
cynicism and reducing interest of political participation , political
instability , reducing political competition, reducing the transparency of
political decision making, distorting political development and sustaining
political activity based on patronage and money, etc.
Impact of inflation:
When prices rise for energy, food, commodities, and other
goods and services, the entire economy is affected. Rising prices, known as inflation,
impact the cost of living, the cost of doing business, borrowing money,
mortgages, corporate and government bond yields, and every other facet of the
economy.
Impact of globalization:
Globalization conveys us that something new is happening to
the world. Globalization leads to the interconnection between the countries of
different culture, caste and heritage. The process leads to the updating of
information among the people. Advancement in transportation, telecommunication
systems, infrastructures are the major factors of globalization
Impact of social media:
Like a coin has two sides, social networks also have both
merits and demerits that completely depend on the person. We are living in a
busy world if we want to keep touch with our friends and relatives social
networks works as a media. By using social networks we can share our ideas and
knowledge to the entire world and we can gain knowledge also. For start-up
companies, movie promotions, and event promotions etc. , Social networks play a
major role.
Impact of magazines:
Print media is still a strong medium for information and
communication. It is one of the “indispensable” tools of society that helps
every individual to communicate and correspond to each other. It is primarily
used as a tool for getting news and information, advertising, marketing
campaigns, entertainment, expression and criticism, art and talents, and other
forms of human interaction. But aside from the benefits, it can still be a
significant contributor of false and misleading information and data
