I am amazed at the diversed opinion projected here over the MCQs. let me share my ideas over the contraversial MCQs.

1. Socialization is
To me answer is b. Personal Social Learning. Most of the aspirants have opted for c. Socialization is typically defined as "learning of social norms and values from the society" and which is basically a personal social learning. i depart from option c because socialization is not confined to building of norms and values by a group only. because one can undergo the social learning by an individual as well, for example, if a child learns from his father it is socialization.

2. Who can be taken as early pure sociologist among social thinkers.
The option to me is b. Ibn e Khaldun. It is true that ibn e Khaldun is forerunner of many academic deciplines but he is regarded as a sociologist not only in Arab or Tunusia but also in Asia and other parts of the world and he has been studied as a sociologist.

3. Ascribed Status.
option a Biological Inheritance. Ascribed status is the status which some one gets from his birth or caste and biological inheritance is all that you get from your birth in a particular family.

6 A stimulus- Response condition between two persons is called.
Option c. Interaction. Dialogue, option requires the interaction to be verbal whereas interaction may be verbal and non verbal and so is stimulus-response condition.

8. A verified and verifiable proposition is called.
Option c. Fact. because when a proposition is verified it becomes a fact.

11. Culture is.
For me its a. What has been given to us by our forefathers. i depart from option be because there are many elements in our culture which are not man mad but they are our culture. for example the religion of Islam is not man made but religion is our culture.

14. A sample is.
For me its option d. None of these. because sample can typically be defined as the smaller segment reprensting the whole population. Its not option a because sample is not a process (please not its sample. not sampling). its not option be because a sample does not represent universe its the segment and represents the population from which it has been taken. Its not option c because sample does not mean giving example.

16. A social caste is always.
Option b. endogamous and closed. But I maintain the reservation on this option because caste is mostly endogamous but not always.


Everyone however, reserves the right to disagree with my ideas.


Regards,

All the best to aspirants of CE 2013

@ mhkhan
Bro your answers to MCQS and reasoning seems to be sound and valid.

But I can't stop myself from saying, that one might be able to prepare sociology in a week or 10 days, but its certainly not the most interesting and definite optional to opt for .
Paper was too general and half of the MCQS have become controversial .
In sociology books it's been written that its a science,
FROM 2013 paper , no science student like me will dare to accept this notion anymore.
Apologies to SOCIOLOGISTS.

well im science student and i opted sociology and really enjoyed studying sociology and paper was not so tough .. it depends on how u have prepared for paper... sociology is not about ratafication its more conceptual ... if one understands questions conceptually he/she can easily attempt that question then... and one must go through all theories for attempting all sort of questions.. it depends how one present his view theoretically

Just study sociology by horton and hunt .
For social problems in pakistan read daily dawn, The news etc .
What you need is clear concepts of sociology , relating them to pakistan will be easy.

Default Fpsc

FPSC should stretch its limitation in syllabus... It is not necessary that people with good writing capabilities always is a good csp officer... A civil Officer should be balance by socialization aspects and intelligence..

Default Dependent And Independent variable

By performing a simple experiment , a student determined that doing jumping jacks for one minute causes a person's heart rate to increase. The student wants to perform a new experiment to see if running in place for one minute will also increase a person's heart rate.

a) What is a valid hypothesis for the new experiment?

b) What is the dependent variable for the new experiment?

c) What is the independent variable for the new experiment?




Ans##

a. From previous experiments, it can be seen that doing jumping jacks results in a higher heartbeat rate. Thus, running for one minute, as well, will cause the heartbeat to increase.

b. Dependent variable is the heartbeat rate (because the rate depends on what you do)

C. Independent variable is the running itself (because it determines the heartbeat)

D. If they asked for a control variable, that would be the time and the conditions.
