SOLVED PAPER OF English (Precis and Composition) CE-2012

Q.2. Make a precise of the following passage and suggest a suitable heading. (20)

One of the most ominous and discreditable symptoms of the want of candour in present-day sociology is the deliberate neglect of the population question. It is or should be transparently clear that if the State is resolved, on humanitarian grounds, to inhibit the operation of natural selection, some rational regulation of population, both as regards quantity and quality, is
imperatively necessary. There is no self-acting adjustment, apart from starvation, of numbers to the means of subsistence. If all natural checks are removed, a population in advance of the optimum number will be produced, and maintained at the cost of a reduction in the standard of living. When this pressure begins to be felt, that section of the population which is capable of reflection, and which has a standard of living which may be lost, will voluntarily restrict its numbers, even to the point of failing to replace deaths by an equivalent number of new births; while the underworld, which always exists in every civilised society the failures and misfits and derelicts, moral and physical will exercise no restraint, and will be a constantly increasing drain upon the national resources. The population will thus be recruited, in a very undue proportion, by those strata of society which do not possess the qualities of useful citizens.

The importance of the problem would seem to be sufficiently obvious. But politicians know that the subject is unpopular. The unborn have no votes. Employers like a surplus of labour, which can be drawn upon when trade is good. Militarists want as much food for powder as they can get. Revolutionists instinctively oppose any real remedy for social evils; they know that every unwanted child is a potential insurgent. All three can appeal to a quasi-religious prejudice, resting apparently on the ancient theory of natural rights, which were supposed to include the right of unlimited procreation. This objection is now chiefly urged by celibate or childless priests; but it is held with such fanatical vehemence that the fear of losing the votes which they control is a welcome excuse for the baser sort of politician to shelve the subject as inopportune. The Socialist calculation is probably erroneous; for experience has shown that it is aspiration, not desperation, that makes revolutions.

Title: "POPULATION EXPLOSION & ITS IMPACTS"

Precise: The fairness in the society for population is crucial. It can be seen in a state when it is based on the humanitarian level, and if laws restrict the biased selection process of the population. Unbiased selection checks can be sustained by reducing the standards of living of the whole population. But part of population having best standard of living can restrict this fairness without realizing any failures which are ingredients of the civilized society, and will hold the use the national resources. Hence that population is opted that do not have the civilized citizen’s competencies. In this way abundant issues will be emerged. The politicians, militarists and revolutionists will be indulged in their aims, and the right of unlimited procreation will be lost. The ambitions can lead to change in the society, not the despondences.

Q.3. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Use your own language. (20)

Human beings are afraid of death just as children feel afraid of darkness. The fear of darkness of kids increased by the stories of the heard ghosts and thieves. In the same way, the fear of human being is increased by the stories which they heard about the agony of dying man. If a human being regards death as a kind of punishment for his sins he has committed and if he looks upon death as a means of making an entry into another world, he is certainly taking a religious and sacred view of death. But if a human being looks upon death as a law of nature and then feels afraid of it, his attitude is of cowardice. However, even in religious meditations about death there is sometimes a mixture of folly and superstition. Monks have written books in which they have described the painful experiences which they underwent by inflicting physical tortures upon themselves as a form of self purification. Thus, one may think that the pains of death must be indescribably agonizing. Such books and such thoughts increase a man's fear of death.

Seneca, the Roman Philosopher is of the view that the circumstances and ceremonies of death frighten people more than death itself would do. A dyeing man is heard uttering groans; his body is seen undergoing convulsions; his face appears to be absolutely bloodless and pale; at his death his friends begin to weep and his relations put on mourning clothes; various rituals are performed. All such facts make death appear more horrible than it would be otherwise.

Q.4 Write a comprehensive note (250 - 300) on any ONE of the following:
1. Self done is Well done
2. The Bough that bears most bend most
3. Nearer the Church, farther from God
4. Rich men have no fault
5. Cut your coat according to your cloth

Rich Men have no Fault

We live in this word with the label such as “Rich” and “Poor”. Some people are bestowed with wealth and resources while some are with the curse of poverty. People from their parents along with genes also inherit the lives with they are going to lead.
The words like “Justice” have merely existence in the dictionaries. Therefore poor should be cautious about following right path and wrong doing because law applies to them strictly. Rich men do not have to be worried for their committed illegal and bad deeds. Their money and means are sufficient to protect them from all actions which could be taken against their sins. If some rich men commit the illegal actions and some ones dare to complain of them and raise the voice against them; the mouth are bonded of these bold person and lesson is taught them that “Rich Men have no fault”. Hence in any contest where rich and poor are involved; the ultimate result is that the rich wins over the power. This is even evidence in international scenario too. For Example, the USA, the world’s super power whenever wanted to attack on any Muslim country she attacked without any proofs or evidences and violated the Human Rights. No one was and is to take action against USA. Same is the case with the Wadeera and Jageerdar (feudal) system in the Pakistan. They do injustice with the poor, violet the Human Rights, and commit the unlawful acts. The poor can not take action because they lock the mouths of the poor and educate that “Rich men have no fault”. The inequality is not a new concept. It exists from the arrival of Adam on earth. The Elder brother killed his brother because he had power. He buried his brother’s body and removed evidences. It seems like the rules are made only for the poor and powerful have no concern to these.
