Impact of Valentine's Day on Society

Christians celebrate Valentine's Day every year on 14th February, in remembrance of a priest, named Saint Valentine, thus declaring the day to be "St.Valentine's Day." It is said that during the rule of Roman emperor Claudius II, marriage for young men was prohibited as he claimed that bachelors would make better soldiers. What valentine did was that he started to secretly perform marriage ceremonies but eventually he was caught up by the Romans and put to death. On the other side some said that when Valentine was imprisoned by Claudius, he fell in love with the daughter of his jailer. But before his execution, he supposedly sent her a letter signed "from your Valentine." It was strongly supported by Europeans and also followed by them, as 10% of world's population lives in Europe which is a very big figure. They started celebrating it as a festival and as a result the family system got destroyed. They made a spout relationship as a burden and not as a responsibility. To get rid of it, they found an easy way to avail all the comfort spouts have but without any responsibility of a family, thus their new generation became the victim of it. Many of them didn't know about their descendants. They were brought up by single parent which eventually effected their mental condition. Europe, the most developed continent, has the highest rate of mental disorder patients. Considering the cause of this malignant disease the West no more celebrates it the way it was celebrated in the beginning. Continent Asia also became the victim of this malignant disease and many teenagers are celebrating it with their loved ones. Some people are celebrating it in a different way to express their love to their parents, siblings and their dear friends, saying that it is the day to express love, forgetting the history of valentines day. Every society could thrive if it is mentally healthy. The new generation is the backbone of society. If society gets indulged in these types of things, it could not flourish to compete with the world.
