Essence Of Civil Engineering

As the lines given on the webpage of Stanford University says “ The Logic Can Take You From A To B , But Imagination Can Take You Anywhere” it perfectly corroborates to the magnificient creations of civil engineering which have been built by the admirers of Civil Engineering following their creative insight.. No other branch of engineering is much more creative and ingenious as Civil Engineering is .. The advent of Civil Engineering is not very nearby it marks its presence hand in hand with the existence of the human race. As people started to grow within themselves and develop, there needs also started increasing & with there increasing neccesities like they needed shelter to thrive in, water tanks to store water for their daily usage etc and the advancement of their understanding of physics and mathematics lead to its development .. And since then with the advancement in human race the civil engineering has also bloomed .. The human neccesities and civil engg have been part and parcel to each other since then ..

Civil Engineering is not only concerned with the construction of buildings and dams but it also encapsulates the designing and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like bridges, roads, canals, dams, and buildings etc.. With the construction of bridges,roads it has lead to the amelioration of transportation system which has further culminated in the burgeoning of human society. Industralisation has gone hand in hand with escalating civil engg . Civil Engg plays a very important role in the field of archaeology as well because with the aid of the type of designs and architecture of building concerned we can decipher the dynasty which built it, what type of dynasty it was , what were the trends and beliefs of people living in the yester days like domes and arches represent the presence of Islamic Kingdom or Mughals etc.. Thus, it has multidisciplinary aspects which have been harnessed by varied people to get intel about myriad things related ..

Today civil engineering is growing in its full fledged form with more of its best yet to come. People with their understanding of intricate things have started constructing & has constructed wonders even on seas & oceans like the famous Palm Islands & World Islands in Dubai, the famous hotel Burj-Al –Arab in Dubai & others like the Hoover Dam in USA etc which have benchmarked the ever growing prowess of civil engineering..

Thereby, with the passing time the buildings & structures have become more creative, technical and have transgressed beyond the boundaries by aggrandizing over the limits of opulence. These have paved new ways of symbiotic relations existing between humans and their adjoining concrete environment. Thus, we can proudly say that as long as the mankind exists on Earth so does Civil Engg because its inevitable to stop construction and development for the human welfare ..

Wobbly Politics

The biggest key to success of any incumbent governing body can be gauged through the developments done by it in myriad fields ranging from education to construction of roads to women emancipation to other social advancements. As very well said by Abhraham Lincoln that “Democracy is by the people, of the people and for the people”, on demystifying the above phrase we get to know that the Democratic government’s soul responsibility is to act as a guardian of its people who have after trusting the leaders have risen them to the apex positions. In any country the biggest aid to its success goes to the stability of its political and economical governance because as the government is itself stable so the governance can be done effectively and thereby they can handle its countrymen better meanwhile the common people also have a sense of security and well being.

Well, Pakistan our neighbouring country which is one of the developing countries of the world is an ensemble of varied cultures and traditions. Pakistan has the seventh largest standing army and is the only muslim majority nation to possess nuclear weapons. But due to several terrorist groups residing within the country there always has been turbulence within and there is International pressure on the country to get ward off these people. Because of these sinister factions of people who call themselves “Jihadis” which means persons involved in proliferation of Islam which they are certainly not, Pakistan and its people have also suffered a lot.

Nowdays, Pakistani authority is transforming from democratic to monarchial regime esp after demise of Benazir Bhutto, her legacy was being transferred to her son Bilawal Zardari Bhutto but due to his young age it was given to her husband Asif Ali Zardari which was according to some, her death was well plotted and staged by her husband to take over her power. Because of all this anarchy in the government it has acted like an eye opener for people which are now taking their stand against the governing body so as to safeguard their rights and ensuring a safe and prosperous future of their children.

Because of the frenzied state of governance other countries like USA etc have started intruding in the internal affairs of the country. Though USA is helping the country but it has hampered the common rights of the Pakistani people as USA has started using Pakistan’s resources for its own betterment. Because of the increasing network of terrorism Pakistan is also now helpless and needs USA’s aid in getting rid of terrorism that’s why it neither can take a back seat now nor it can meddle much in USA’s working mannerisms and intrusion, they need to work symbiotically.

All these things have aggregated and has led people to introspect and retrospect, and their actions are now culminating in turmoil which has led the officials to ponder over their actions because they know if people wont be taken care of now then their power chairs might be in danger but its like the proverb “no need to cry over the spilled milk”, nothing much can happen now..

Same case is happening with Egypt where Mohd Hasni Mubarak’s reluctance to leave his power made the public hostile. In the like way many other countries will also be plagued by this epidemic if they will not care about their people, the officials will have to answer the stern questions of their inhabitants.. That’s why to wind up I would just like to quote Ben Jonson’s lines that

“Success produces confidence; confidence relaxes industry, and negligence ruins the reputation which accuracy had raised”

that’s why leaders should now have to brace up themselves and inspite of showing negligence they need to start caring for the general welfare if they have to uphold their country’s name ..
