To maintain their social status and make their future bright, they go abroad and feel sense of identity .The advancement of technology helps men to fulfill their basic necessities without arduous working but the hunger for materialistic gain destroys their mental peace and tranquility.

Her pleasure seeking tendency causes her ultimate fragmentation of her personality.
