Some social scientists say that poor nations need to enact a law enforcing minimum number of children a family can have, and thereby enabling the State to withdraw support for the additional child/children in matters like education, employment and healthcare.
Essay 010
• How far can you agree with such a law?
• Do you think it is right to withdraw support for all additional children?
It is a matter of great concern that population is increasing phenomenally in third world nations. In such a state of affairs, a law on population control is timely, and I find it agreeable to a greater extent. But, I cannot support the provision that the State can deny support to extra child/children.
Rising population is no good anymore. There are several different measures being implemented to curtail population growth. But the impact of such measures is not visible either. Therefore, a law on minimum number of children is timely and worth considering. Firstly, when people come to understand that State wouldn’t support additional children, there would be change of attitude towards having more children. And there will be visible changes in all walks of life thanks to stabilizing population rates. For example, this law is already in force in China, and there are evidences to prove that it works in there.
However, I find it difficult to support State’s denying support to extra child/children. My one and only argument against this idea is this, that the factors that make a family have a certain number of children are more powerful than the provisions of a law. For example, social status, gender preferences, personal likes, family obligations and so on would make parents go for more children. Undoubtedly, such children would come to millions and no welfare State can ignore their well being. Therefore, I simply cannot endorse such a provision.
So, to conclude it, a law on minimum number of children is good in many ways, but the State has to support additional children conditionally. If this is done, a law on small family norm would have greater number of takers in the days to come.

Task one: General Training: letter to the editor
Sir,
This has reference to the news I read the other day that a new project is going to come up at our place called Kumarakom. Upon further enquiry, I have come to know that this new project is aimed at processing the waste generated by Kottayam town.
This in my view is going to be a serious environmental issue as Kumarakam is a tourist destination which promotes various aqua tourism activities, and the annual revenue generated by this place crosses millions. Therefore, it is extremely important to look into the environmental and social aspects of this particular project covering some ten acres of land.
Further, there is going to be great threat of epidemics too as waste dumped in here may get mixed with the lake waters. So, I would like the authorities to look into this issue and halt the project for the time being.
And your Daily’s concern towards issues of common interest is known for all, and I am hopeful that this letter would reach the right people.

With the emerging trends in the employment environment, the younger generation is found to be going after tailor-made short-term academic and technical qualifications and fetching jobs. They, in turn, turn away from conventional academic qualifications.
• How is this situation going to affect the society in general?
• Do you think it is important to pursue conventional qualifications?
Today time is money. So are the qualifications the younger generation happens to get. They think that education is an investment, and so wiser ones invest in easier and short term qualifications. Obviously, they ignore those time consuming conventional degrees.
Looking at it, what I feel is that we cannot blame the younger generation for their heightened interest in short-term qualifications because they are governed more by monitory instincts than by age old qualifications. This attitude is reinforced by the emerging possibilities for making money in several digits. All is well of course if people are able to live successfully throughout their life. However, the fact remains. In a social point of view; over emphasis on tailor-made qualification is a matter of some concern. The point is; the successful running of a society needs people of all types. Only tailor-made people cannot take a nation forward. It is a dangerous proposition indeed.
Therefore, it is mandatory that sizeable number of people pursue conventional academic programmes every year. when tailor-made programmes undermine higher studies, naturally, the need for highly qualified people to hold strategic positions of administration, teaching, research, development, governance and diplomacy, to mention a few, will be much higher. This cannot be made good by money. When there is need for such people, there should be enough people. Otherwise, the nation will go poor in all terms. Needless to say, we should encourage conventional qualifications.
In short, the workforce of a community needs to be as diverse as possible. This is achieved only if there is enough room for conventional academic qualifications. Tailor made programmes are fine for a few, but not for all.

Some people believe that four-day-week with longer working hours would make employees enjoy life and, as a result, perform better when they are at work. But there are people who think that lesser working days would do more harm than good.
Essay 003
• Look at both the views and express your opinion on them.
Does four-day week make people put in more? Opinions differ of course. But not many would oppose the idea that more free time lets employees enjoy a lot of family time. What I feel is that humans, being basically lazy, may take it as an opportunity to be complacent.
First of all, let me see how employees are going to take four-day week concept. Four working days and three holidays a week would look really great because there is enough room for family time, professional, personal and social times. This makes employees enjoy greater work life balance. This will of course pay them great dividends. This improved working environment may make some employees put in more and contribute better in terms of service. This extra energy may take the production graph scale new highs.
But, from an employer’s point of view, there is a little concern because paying for seven days and getting three days’ service back may not make great business sense. However rejuvenated an employee may return to work after three days’ break, he or she may take a day to get over the holiday blues. This would leave the employer with only three days a week, with the third day being a weekender. Coupled with this is humans’ inherent nature of being lazy. So, four-day week may not do much good. Lesser working days make people lazier.
The above findings on four-day week make it clear that fewer number of working days is likely to do more harm than good. So, it is right to say that keeping employees engaged is much better than letting them free for longer days.

GRAPH ON THE POPULARITY OF MODES OF TRAVEL TO AND FROM WORK
The graph breaks up data on different modes of transport people of a European city used to travel to and from work in three periods, 1960, 1980 and 2000.
To begin with, in 1960, 20% people traveled by bus. This figure went above 25% in 1980. But, when it was 2000, the percentage came close to 15%. When it comes to car users, in 1960, hardly seven percent people used it. In 1980, it showed more than three times increase, 25%, and in 2000 it went past 35%, recording a seven fold rise.
Coming to bike, its popularity declined over the years. When more than 25% people biked to work in 1960, the corresponding figure for 1980 was 20%. The biggest fall was recorded in the year 2000; hardly seven percent. The percentage of those who walked stood at 35% in 1960. In the following two periods, it stood slightly above 15% and below 10% respectively, a decline more than three times.
In short, bus had been very popular in all three periods whereas car’s polarity kept on increasing. But walking and biking turned unpopular over time.

World water use: Percentage-wise
The pie graph presents data on world water usage in 2000 and the bar chart breaks up the same data in four countries: China, India, New Zealand and Canada, for the same period.
As per the pie graph, 70% of the total water is used for agricultural purposes whereas only 22 % of water is exploited for industrial purposes. A very small percentage, eight, was for domestic purposes.
The bar chart shows that China used 69 percent of its total water for agricultural purposes followed by industries, taking 22%, and only 9% was utilized for domestic purposes whereas India used 92% of its total water for agriculture. Only five percent is used for domestic purpose and the remaining 3% was spared for industries.
Coming to a developed country like New Zealand, almost equal percentage of water is used for both agricultural and domestic purpose, 44 and 46, and the remaining 10% is left for industry. In Canada agriculture took only 8% of its total water, followed by domestic use taking 12%, and remaining 80% was used for industries.
Developing nations used much more water for agricultural purposes than what developed nations used for industrial and domestic purposes.

An exercise/sport you like
Cycling
• It is probably the most convenient and interesting sport activity available in our countryside.
• Especially when it is recreational, cycling is the best.
• It is a low impact exercise, especially appropriate for people who are unable to do weigh exercise.
• It is a non-weight bearing sport.
• The weight of the cyclist is borne by the saddle.
• It is essential that one should select a bike suited to one’s needs. What is required is this:
• Set the saddle to the correct position,
• Sit on the saddle and place the pedal on the lowest position.
• When we put our heel on the pedal, the knee need to come slightly bent.
• That is what one needs to do to get the best of cycling.
• It is only when the cyclist and the body are in harmony with each other that optimum performance can be achieved.

Five questions on health hazards
1.
Habit forming health hazards like tobacco products and alcoholic beverages are legally sold, and the revenue these substances brings in is so huge that many governments are not ready to look at the loss of human resource and productivity these hazards cause.
In this context, it is argued that governments should fund for the rehabilitation of those who get addicted to these.
How far do you agree or disagree with this view?
Ajaypeesdoc. 21.2.011
2.
The revenue generated by health hazards like tobacco products and alcoholic beverages is so huge that many governments turn a blind eye to the social damages these hazards leave behind.
So some people are of the opinion that these hazards are State sponsored social evils.
• How far do you agree or disagree with this view?
3.
Some social scientists say governments very well can do without the revenue generated out of health hazards like tobacco and alcoholic beverages, but there are people who hold the opposite view right.
• Which view do you support and state why?
Ajaypeesdoc. 21.2.011
4.
The revenue generated by health hazards like tobacco and alcoholic beverages is not big enough to offset the damages these hazards inflict on human society.
• How do you look at this view?
• Do you think governments should do away with these hazards?
5.
A society free from tobacco products and alcoholic beverages is much freer from almost all other social evils.
• How best can you support this view?

School dropout rates are much higher in poor nations, and many poor nations do not seem to be offering any kind of alternative education arrangements to see that these dropped out students are brought back to productive life.
Essay 069
• What are the causes for this gross neglect suffered by the dropouts?
• How do these dropouts influence the society in general?
Rising dropout rates are a matter of great concern in all developing nations. The fact that they are dropouts should not make them feel ignored. Unfortunately, that is the case. So the need for putting them back to track is very important. Else, they will pose many threats to the society.
If we look at the reasons why they are left in the lurch, the major one is that their number is so huge, and accommodating them in a different set up is far beyond the reach of these poor nations. Secondly, these dropouts are engaged in some activities, and they do not put in their case in front of the authorities. This is a blessing in disguise. Thirdly, these poor nations get great number of new entrants for education, and looking after them is a major responsibility. In such a poor state of affairs, accommodating dropouts does not come to the picture.
However, their presence in the community cannot be ignored. If we do so, there will be problems. Firstly, the human resource loss will a so huge and it will threaten the growth of the society. Secondly, these undereducated, poorly skilled people will cause social disharmony as they remain underprivileged all through their life. Thirdly, their families will never go to achieve any social growth as they have failed to get quality education. No developing societies can afford such a loss of human resource, and the uncertainty they pose.
To conclude it, accommodating the dropped out is of paramount importance for all societies. Otherwise, the growth of the society will get halted and the presence of the under educated will cause many inequalities and disturbances.

Some students prefer to prepare for their exams by forming small learning circles –small group of students of the same stream- so that they can learn things better, whereas there are some who prefer to follow individual learning atmosphere.
Look at these two preferences and find out what advantages they both enjoy.
Different students have different approaches when it comes to preparing for their exams. The most widely practiced method is forming learning circles. However, there are students who prefer to prepare for their exams by studying things alone. Obviously, both of them enjoy several benefits of varying degrees.
A leaning circle is a small group of students, pursuing the same stream, studying their lessons together. Primarily, it is a common platform for each member of the circle. It gives them opportunities to put in their efforts and ideas for the common good of the whole circle. Secondly, discussion leads to better understanding of a difficulty topic. Thirdly, when they are in groups, there is strong possibility of mutual help, that is, one weak in one paper may get helped by another who is strong in it. Finally, learning circles widen the horizons of knowledge.
Individual learning atmosphere offers several advantages. First of all, one can enjoy great freedom in studies, like when to study and what and how long etc. Secondly, one is able to employ one’s own suitable techniques and methods to learn lessons. For example, different students adopt different technique to learn difficult areas of their studies. This can be maintained if one studies alone. Thirdly, learning needs great concentration and some students feel that a circle is a crowd so it is better to be alone and learning.
Looking at the above points, it can be concluded that both the parties enjoy great benefits. However, it is the individual preferences that make one select a learning circle or go it alone.

Aged population is taken by some as a great asset to the younger generation whereas there are some who feel that rising old age population is a social liability.
Essay 011
• Which view do you support and state why?
Prove your points with examples taken from your surroundings.
Human life span is on the rise thanks to better living conditions and medical innovations. This development is taken differently by different people. However, in my view longer-living people are a great source of wealth of varying dimensions.
My first argument supporting this view is that older population has great wealth of knowledge garnered from scores of years’ experience, and this knowledge and expertise cannot be calculated in terms of money. The same way, experts who are healthy enough to continue in some services can be made use of for the betterment of any community. Openings like advisors, resource persons, consultants and the like are worth filled in by senior citizens. It is unfortunate to look at such professionals as a liability.
Let me substantiate my view with a few examples. An aged farmer may not be able to contribute much to farming sector by way of hard work. But he or she is a store-house of farming lessons gathered out of hand on experience, and such knowledge will be great service to modern farming sector. The same way let’s take the case of an academic who is healthy and has some 25 or 30 years’ teaching experience. Is it fair to leave him or her saying that ‘you are so old that you cannot help a society?’ Such a person would do much more to education than any youngster could.
So, to conclude, I think it is the duty of the healthy ones to make use of those ones who have become old and, some times, unhealthy by contributing to society. Calling them a liability is no sign of civilization. Worldly wisdom is a virtue.
