0:49- 1:01	Another woman's ideas and feelings about ‘her world’: … today no one gives much importance to cooperation etc, most are selfish … not much aware of others and their neighbours … do not much relate to family & society .. first school is family … Parents try to give good model and try to avoid mistakes, we should give education to our children. When a child gets good habits from childhood he will much profit in his life, if parents give good instructions …. Parents, teachers, friends, family, temple or church … teenagers have some problems, much support needed … but today the parents pay not much attention, these are careless parents, some parents do not control … this is not a good thing .. some times parents have to scold ... these children will become better... it is a benefit for the country. Family is the right place for formation a good habit of child … when individual and family will become good, the society will become good, and the country … we should work together, ... successful and helpful life in this world ... we should work together ... for the betterment of society ... only we get some profit if we give some of our life to society.	Poor women's concerns, ethics, anxieties: -selfishness is bad, - social commit- ment is good, - family and society, - ethical education, - attentive parents, - good children, - good children are benefit for country, - good individual = good society, - co-operation is good and a benefit for all

My prayer … we should instruct our new generation to form good habits from childhood, so we can make this world good … in today's society most of the criminals have escaped to be stopped by political parties… we should be aware of such things happening in society … she prays for a good life and a better world.
