SHALL WE HAVE INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY AFTER DEATH.


Science do not approve life after death. However, man had different concepts of life, after life, soul and heaven since long with us .These concepts are not uniform, but varies in different time, people and region. Most of the people believe that there is an after life; some in the form of rebirth while others believe in a life in heaven or hell. 

There are many eminent scientists and philosophers suggest about our self as a distinct one. This self is the one that survives different dimensions of life. And that self is our identity. Psychology do not support this view. Psychologists feel that individuality or self is not firm but a fluid one  shaped differently according to the  external influence.

If self can be related with identity, self is a combination of body and brain. If there is a life after death and own memory is carried, naturally identity too is carried forward.

In the New Testament, the disciples of Christ, are witnessing those passed away long time ago, Moses and Elia, in the presence of Christ. In the Hindu mythology too there are several incidences of the living one having meeting with those dead long ago. Since these cannot be proved with the support of evidence and theory we cannot take it for consideration. Within the bounds of science we cannot establish an after life with carried forward identity. At present life after death is an assumption based on religious teachings. No one ever had a glance of it.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
