Vote share of CPI, CPI-M and INC

The line graph presents data on the share of votes three major political parties, CPI, CPI-M and INC, had in the elections held between 1977 and 2004.

In 1977, CPI had 10.38 votes, but it came down to 6.52 in the following election. It came still down to 6.21 in 1989. In the following elections till 2004 the party’s share of votes stood between 8.12 and 7.89.

If we compare these figures with that of CPI-M, it had nearly two times more votes in 1977, 20.33, but in the following year, it recorded a low, taking it to 19.09. The following elections recorded a higher percentage, elevating it to 22.27 and 22.28 in 1984 and 1989. In the following three elections, the percentages hovered between 20.72 and 21.00. It recorded a huge increase in 1999 and 2004, taking it to 31.51.

When it comes to INC, it had 29.13% votes in 1977. In the following election, it suffered nearly 3% drop. Two elections followed recorded its all time high percentage, 41.71. In the elections of 1991,1996 1998 and 1999, its percentage remained between 38.78 and 39.35. But in 2004 it had a steep fall, from 39.35 to 32.11, the biggest fall ever.

It is obvious that CPI did not have any major increase or decrease over the years, but the other two had remarkable variations in their respective shares.

Some people argue that the business of running a nation needs to be in the hands of emerging young leaders, while others are of opinion that it should be done by senior leaders.

· Which argument do you endorse, and state why?

It is generally accepted that running a nation is a serious business, and there is controversy on whether it should be done by young leaders or it is the job of senior leaders. I for one am of opinion that it should be done by the young. 45 words

There are points to establish the fact that it is a good idea to give the reins of the nation to the hands of young leaders. The primary argument is that young leaders have great vision and spirit to take the nation forward. Secondly, these leaders will take great pride in their being what they are, and they would do their best to the welfare of the nation. Thirdly, younger leaders are less prone to corruption and similar asocial activities than the old ones whose aim is to be in the seats of power somehow. 95 words

On the other hand, if a nation continues to be run by sexagenarian and octogenarian, there is going to be slow and passive functioning and poor participation. As they are too old, an emerging nation may not be able to cope with their conventional style of functioning. Besides these, a good number of old leaders are reported to be corrupt and they hardly understand the need for change. They want to be power dealers, not leaders. This situation can easily be averted if youngsters take up the reins of power. 95 words.

The above arguments make it clear that, in the present scenario, it is wise idea to let the emerging young leaders take the nation forward, and of course we can make use of the elder leaders’ expertise for many other nation building exercises. 40 words

Valentine’s day gifts among men and women.

The pie graph presents data on what men and women buy for each other on Valentine ’s Day in the US.It is obvious that among the items men buy for women, the things come under the category called ‘Other’ constitute 25%, followed by cards, 18%. The third most important gift item among men is flowers, 16% and it is followed by candy constituting 14%. When jewelry takes the fifth position with 10%, all other items like lingerie, spa/personal care and perfume/cologne share 7%, 6% and 4% respectively.

If we compare these figures with what women buy for their loved ones, card is the most popular gift among women; 27% followed by candy taking 21% whereas the third most item is ‘other’ 17%. When flowers claim 11%, perfume and cologne take 10 followed by jewelry with 9%. The least popular item is spa and personal care with 1%.

. Academic migration is widely being promoted these days.
· Why is this tendency common today?
Do you think it is good to be studying overseas?

It is true. Academic migration is more common than it was in the past. There are some many factors that contribute to this increasing popularity. And, of course, studying overseas is a good idea especially in these days of global opportunities. 40 words

The most important factor that makes academic migration common is today’s globalized world order where everyone is free to move beyond their national borders either for business, education profession or entertainment. For examples, students from poor nations are prepared to go to any distance to get world class education. Coupled with this is the competition among overseas universities for getting brilliant and financially well off students. It is known to all that universities abroad need funds to run their courses, and they find overseas students as cash cows. And there are many other minor factors like employment opportunities, learn-and-earn at the same time, to mention a few. 100 words

There is no disagreement on the view that it is good to be studying overseas. The major benefits are: firstly, overseas degrees are accepted world over and those ones who get through overseas courses get better employment options in rich counties. Secondly, studying in a multicultural, international location itself is a brilliant learning experience. Thirdly, there are excellent class rooms supported by the best of study aids, and renowned faculty, and students get great exposure to the latest in the fast changing world. And finally they happen to pick up many life, core and soft skills from overseas environments. 95 words

To conclude, academic migration is bound to be popular in the coming days too as more and more students are attracted to the conveniences offered by foreign universities. And of course it is good to be doing a course overseas in many more ways than one. 45 words

Many poor economies are poor not because they do not have the resources to become rich, but because they do not have the means to tap their available resources.
How far is this true in your opinion?Jaypeesdoc. 26/3/09


The major factors that decide the strength of an economy are human resource, natural resource and market resource. If we look at the poor economies around the world, we can see that they all have enough such resources. But, they do not have the means to tap them so that they could be rich. 55 words

Many poor economies are suffering not from resource crunch but from poor support resources to tap the resources they have. Many poor economies are blessed with great natural resources. For example, African countries have great gold and oil reserves, but they do not have the means to tap them as it demands a lot of infrastructure and technical know-how. Though the rich nations have them, poor nations do not have access to such facilities. Naturally their resources remain untapped and they keep going poor. 85 words.

To make it clearer, let us look at another example. India is a huge manpower destination. But it does not have the infrastructure to accommodate this much educated manpower. So, excellent manpower and their contributions go waste leaving the nation poor. So is the case with its enormous tourism potential. India is not fully equipped for tapping all the tourism prospects it has. And finally, it is equally known that third world nations are huge markets. But these market resources are exploited by the rich. 85 words.

The above points and examples make it right to conclude that poor economies are poor due to their inability to tap their available resources. If the rich nations around the world could extend a helping hand to these economies, they may slowly become rich nations in the coming days. 45 words

School is the ideal place to run awareness programmes of all types.

What makes schools ideal for running all awareness programmes?
Do you think there are some programmes that cannot be run at schools?
School, a place where children learn all the basics of life, is the right place to run awareness programmes of any type. There are many factors that make school ideal for the same. And, if wisely implemented, there is virtually no programme that is not fit for school children. 45

If we look at the factors that make schools ideal, the foremost thing is that school has an excellent system in place. That is, there is a great mix of students, who follow a strict timetable, go through a regular course of study, and follow a certain rules and regulations. Secondly, children are in their formative years and they are inquisitive enough to grasp things according to their grades and comprehension levels. And finally, they have a rare faculty of following the words of their teachers very seriously. So catching them young is right, and school is the ideal place for the same. 100 words.

When it comes to whether there are some programmes that cannot be run at schools, I do not think there is one that cannot be run. It all depends upon how wisely we select the programmes and how intelligently we implement them. That is, we have to take into account the students’ level of learning, gender, socio-cultural backgrounds and age groups. If these things are looked into, awareness programmes of all types are fit for schools; even awareness on sex is possible provided we give it to students when they turn to their teenage. 90 words

The above points make it clear that school time is the best time to make children pick up the basics of life through curricular and co-curricular activities. Awareness programmes are not exceptions. No matter what they are about, it all depends upon how wisely we go about it. 45 words

Some youngsters wait for years for their dream jobs to come by, whereas some others take up whatever opportunity that comes their way right after their studies.


What advantages do they both enjoy?

Today, life without a job cannot be imagined, and most youngsters cherish some dreams about heir jobs. However, it is seen that some pick up all opportunities they come across, while some others wait for long for their dreams jobs. Anyway, both the groups enjoy numerous benefits. 45 words

To begin with, youngsters selecting careers early in their life reap loads of advantages. Firstly, they start earning early. This makes them responsible and it develops skills like money management and wise spending of time, eventually improving their standard of living. Secondly, they face numerous challenges that help them pick up variety of experiences, both professional and social. Finally, even though early career selection may halt their higher studies, they opt for recent technologies to procure professional skills thereby raising their potentials according the demands. This results in the formation of a very energetic and productive youth, the real asset of a nation. 95 words

When it come to those youngsters who wait for years for their preferred job, it is obvious that they do enjoy countless advantages. Foremost one being their satisfaction; that is, if one is able to secure the job one dreams of, then there is no room for any doubt that the person starts worshipping that job and bringing out his/her best. Consequently, the time one spends waiting for that job, foolishness in others’ views, is not at all a waste of time as it makes one usher in peace and prosperity in one’s personal and professional life. That is what a good career is supposed to bring about. 90 words

The above points make it true that whether one selects a career early in one’s life or waits for a dream job is not a matter of any concern because both are equally beneficial. As every individual is unique, it is, of course, the personal interest that drives each one to attain a job of their choice. 50 words

Some youngsters wait for years for their dream jobs to come by, whereas some others take up whatever opportunity that comes their way right after their studies.

What are the disadvantages of early career selection?
Do you think it is advantageous to wait for years for a dream job?


Selecting the right career is highly challenging these days compared to the past, but it is easier to find a job today as there are so many opportunities. Though early career selection has some disadvantages, waiting long for a dream job is no good idea. 45 words

The primary disadvantage is that it forces the individual to quit his studies and encourages him to put in all his efforts to his career. This leads to huge shortage in highly qualified people in the society. Secondly, it makes individuals workaholics making them suffer from occupational hazards much early in their life. Thirdly, when youngsters become financially independent, they fail to manage their quick income, and they even pick up bad habits and tendencies. Some of them even break away from their bonds and go hyper independent. This is no good. 90 words

However, waiting for a dream job for ages is no good either, because world is marching much faster and the need for keeping pace with the developments is more important today than it was in the past. Besides this, waiting does not many one any better, instead if one is able to do something right after one’s education, he or she can pick up different professional skills. And finally, people may spoil their most productive years for a dream job. Why not work and do something towards realizing one’s dream job? It is good. 90 words

Therefore, it may be concluded that career selection is of greater significance today. But one’s success is determined by many factors; like when and how wisely one selects it. And coming to waiting for a dream job for long? It is earlier better, if the choice is right. 45 words

It is a fact that everybody gets 24 hours a day, but majority of the people complain of
what social scientists call ‘Time Poverty’.· Why is this complaint very common today, compared to the past?· Make your own suggestions to overcome time poverty.
There is no argument against the fact that time is precious. But these days, people complain that they run short of time. This was not so in the past. There are many factors that lead to time poverty, and it could be tackled by taking some wise measures. 45 words
The major factors may range from poor management to laziness and ignorance. First of all, many people do not know how to manage their time. They simply waste time and complain of time poverty. Secondly, compared to the past, many people are engaged in much more activities than what they are able to handle. This is because of the pressures of modern life. Thirdly, people take time in terms of money. This never ending need for money and material greed, make people take up responsibilities far beyond their limits of endurance. Result is what social scientists call time poverty. 90 words
This can be overcome in many ways. First of all, people should know what prioritizing is. They should distribute time according to the seriousness of the issue. For example, a thing that needs immediate attention needs to be done first. Secondly, there should be pre-planning. That is, one should anticipate what is in store, so that one could allocate time accordingly. A third option could be the art of saying ‘no’. Some people take up all impossible jobs and finally they end in time poverty. Finally, it is a good idea to maintain Work Life Balance. 90 words

To conclude, it is right to put that time poverty is manmade. And it is man’s helplessness to manage time that makes him suffer from it. Wiser management techniques will help a person lead a balanced life with enough time for everything; work, life, leisure and the like. 45 words
