Ms. Sadia Shafiq
Dear ,I am going to tell you .. look here the quoted line ..

Quote:
Picture Democritus, the Laughing Philosopher; would he not be perilous company for the dessicated scholastics who have made the disputes about the reality of the external world take the place of medieval discourses on the number of angles that could sit on the point of a pin?
external world and plus we are talking about space ..

and secondly endorsing your point ,it is necessary to point where it is necessary to exemplify; in case of Plato and Aristotle and Socrates ..

1.How philosophy originated
2. Crude form of this discipline
3.who refined it

one need to mention who refined it. So its process begun by Socrates but Plato added taste and Aristotle pioneered it .

So please define how i disfigured it .I am waiting .

@sehar please see colon in the first para of original one

Dear ms sadia! u have misconstrued the meanigs of sentence "Picture Democritus.......sit on the point of pin"
this sentence is a satire on Democritus and his dessicated philosophy which started the dispute about the reality and external world.
plz dont construct meanings of ur own but read passage and comprehened it, i request u again and take some dictionary guide line or some one who can translate well
Dear Ms Sadia, one more thing i dare to say that u are not comprehnding the vocabulary and the sentence structure in its exact meanings

You may say but after saying prove it in right manner .and please see your highlighted mistakes .

Picture Democritus, the Laughing Philosopher; would he not be perilous company for the dessicated scholastics who have made the disputes about the reality of the external world take the place of medieval discourses on the number of angles that could sit on the point of a pin

1. writer is questioning to readers .. rhetoric style
2. Laughing scholar = adjective
3. perilous company= when author is questioning it ,does`nt it implies ,this scholar was different because he had not biased approach but he did not did anything in the field of philosophy . I think so I have rightly interpreted it.And on what things; basless theories regarding no of angels on a particular pin .

Dear Ms Sadia! please be cool minded, I am not trying to let you down, but trying to convey the exact meanings but you are still.....missing because:
The writer is including Democritus in perilous company(dangerous people) who had started futile discussion about reality and external world and this useless discussion remained alive till the medieval times.
By the way, i think you have literary back ground and thanks for pointing out my mistakes i.e. "meanigs, plz dont and comprehnding" In this connection i would say that it was just net speak vocabulary.

.thefreedictionary.com/desiccate



desiccate - lacking vitality or spirit; lifeless


scholastics-------(in the Roman Catholic Church) A member of a religious order, esp. the Society of Jesus, who is between the novitiate and the priesthood.


http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/democritus/


Dear ,have a look at all these ... Democirus was scientist who ridiculed religious scriptures because they need to be changed . Writer has counted a liitle contribution of scholars despite being the fact they all are scientist .Then he named Aristotle who disciplined it.

Q.1. Write a précis of the following passage in about 100 words and suggest the title: (20+5) 2008

Objectives pursued by, organizations should be directed to the satisfaction of demands resulting from the wants of mankind. Therefore, the determination of appropriate objectives for organized activity must be preceded by an effort to determine precisely what their wants are. Industrial organizations conduct market studies to learn what consumer goods should be produced. City Commissions make surveys to ascertain what civic projects would be of most benefit. Highway Commissions conduct traffic counts to learn what constructive programmes should be undertaken. Organizations come into being as a means for creating and exchanging utility. Their success is dependent upon the appropriateness of the series of acts contributed to the system. The majority of these acts is purposeful, that is, they are directed to the accomplishment of some objectives. These acts are physical in nature and find purposeful employment in the alteration of the physical environment. As a result utility is created, which, through the process of distribution, makes it possible for the cooperative system to endure.

Before the Industrial Revolution most cooperative activity was accomplished in small owner managed enterprises, usually with a single decision maker and simple organizational objectives. Increased technology and the growth of industrial organization made necessary the establishment of a hierarchy of objectives. This is turn, required a division of the management function until today a hierarchy of decision makers exists in most organizations.

The effective pursuit of appropriate objectives contributes directly to organizational efficiency. As used here, efficiency is a measure of the want satisfying power of the cooperative system as a whole. Thus efficiency is the summation of utilities received from the organization divided by the utilities given to the organization, as subjectively evaluated by each contributor.

The functions of the management process is the delineation of organizational objectives and the coordination of activity towards the accomplishment of these objectives. The system of coordinated activities must be maintained so that each contributor, including the manager, gains more than he contributes.

Goals of an organization should be according to men` demands.Aims should be oriented by the knowing the desirability of wants .Industrial organizations,city and highway commission conduct research work to know how they can work efficiently These creates advantages and distribution of wealth by doing useful activity which alter natural environment into industrial one for materialistic gains.There are policy makers in each organization unlike enterprises which worked for one organized activity .So policy-making- process specified many goals which give maximum utility to organization.After specifying these aims ,each employee will have to work efficiently and achieve these because it will maximize profits more then expected ratio.

Sadia this is a succinct, compact and comprehensive extraction of the actual passage...Good job done...BUT room for improvement is always there so now i would like to make some comments based on my critical analysis, and this is exactly you wanted from me..so here we go..
the Title is the linchpin to secure good marks in precis...if precis is the summary of the passage then title is the summary of your precis.....there is definitely nothing wrong with your title but you have narrowed the scope of passage, this passage is not only about identifying the objectives but also implicating according to them, and both these things i-e identifying and implicating are the part of Management, and for your passage a Management term MBO (Management by objectives) qualifies to be the best and very precise title...
A Tip
Do not think about title from the very start, please do not make a title from what you gather out of actual passage, i suggest all of you to make precis first, once you have done this, now give a title to your precis because this is the real currux and one more benefit you get by doing this, there would be no contradiction between precis and title because title is derived from precis...and it is easier to derive title from precis because you have to deal with only 1/3rd of actual passage, so you get the whole idea easily.....
Best of Luck in all your endeavors...
