Article Writing Sample: Social Media Impact

By: Student Name, Class 10-A

IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON YOUTH

Social media has become an integral part of our lives, especially for young people. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Twitter connect millions worldwide, but they come with both benefits and drawbacks.

Positive Impacts: Social media helps in networking, staying connected with friends and family, sharing creative content, spreading awareness about social issues, learning new skills through tutorials, and providing platforms for small businesses to grow.

Negative Impacts: Excessive use leads to addiction, reduced face-to-face interactions, cyberbullying, spread of fake news, privacy concerns, and comparison with others leading to low self-esteem. Many youngsters waste productive hours scrolling unnecessarily.

✍️ हिंदी रचना लेखन (3 नमूने)

नमूना 1: स्वच्छ भारत अभियान

प्रस्तावना: स्वच्छ भारत अभियान 2 अक्टूबर 2014 को प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी द्वारा शुरू किया गया। इसका उद्देश्य भारत को स्वच्छ और खुले में शौच मुक्त बनाना था।

विषय विस्तार: यह अभियान महात्मा गांधी की 150वीं जयंती पर पूरा हुआ। इसमें शौचालय निर्माण, कचरा प्रबंधन, और स्वच्छता जागरूकता शामिल है। सभी नागरिकों को स्वच्छता में योगदान देना चाहिए। स्वच्छता केवल सफाई कर्मचारियों की जिम्मेदारी नहीं है। हमें प्लास्टिक का उपयोग कम करना, कूड़ा डिब्बे में डालना, और अपने आसपास साफ रखना चाहिए।

उपसंहार: स्वच्छता स्वास्थ्य की पहली सीढ़ी है। स्वच्छ भारत, स्वस्थ भारत का निर्माण हम सबका कर्तव्य है।

नमूना 2: विज्ञान वरदान या अभिशाप

प्रस्तावना: आज का युग विज्ञान का युग है। विज्ञान ने मानव जीवन को पूरी तरह बदल दिया है।

वरदान: विज्ञान ने चिकित्सा में क्रांति ला दी। मोबाइल, इंटरनेट ने संचार आसान बनाया। यातायात के साधन विकसित हुए। बिजली, पंखे, फ्रिज ने जीवन सुविधाजनक बनाया। कृषि में मशीनों से उत्पादन बढ़ा।

अभिशाप: परमाणु हथियारों से विनाश का खतरा। प्रदूषण बढ़ा है। मानव मशीन पर निर्भर हो गया। बेरोजगारी बढ़ी। साइबर क्राइम जैसी समस्याएँ उत्पन्न हुईं।

उपसंहार: विज्ञान स्वयं न तो वरदान है न अभिशाप। यह हमारे उपयोग पर निर्भर करता है। सही उपयोग से यह वरदान, गलत उपयोग से अभिशाप बन जाता है।

नमूना 3: पर्यावरण संरक्षण

प्रस्तावना: पर्यावरण हमारे चारों ओर का वातावरण है जिसमें हम जीवित रहते हैं। आज पर्यावरण संरक्षण सबसे बड़ी आवश्यकता है।

प्रदूषण के कारण: वाहनों से वायु प्रदूषण, कारखानों से जल प्रदूषण, प्लास्टिक से मृदा प्रदूषण, और ध्वनि प्रदूषण बढ़ रहा है। जंगलों की कटाई से पर्यावरण असंतुलन हो रहा है।

समाधान: वृक्षारोपण करें, प्लास्टिक का उपयोग बंद करें, सार्वजनिक वाहन का उपयोग करें, जल संरक्षण करें, रीसाइक्लिंग को बढ़ावा दें।

उपसंहार: पृथ्वी हमारा घर है। इसे बचाना हमारी जिम्मेदारी है। "जल है तो कल है" और "हरा भरा रहे देश, यही हमारा सन्देश।"
