The chart shows the number of hours of leisure enjoyed by men and women in a typical week in 1998-9, according to gender and employment status.
Among those employed full-time, men on average had fifty hours of leisure, whereas women had approximately thirty-seven hours. There were no figures given for male part-time workers, but female part-timers had forty hours of leisure time, only slightly more than women in full-time employment, perhaps reflecting their work in the home.
In the unemployed and retired categories, leisure time showed an increase for both sexes, as might have been expected. Here too, men enjoyed more leisure time over eighty hours, compared with seventy hours for women, perhaps once again reflecting the fact that women spend more time working in the home than men.
Lastly, housewives enjoyed approximately fifty-four hours of leisure, on average. There were no figures given for househusbands! Overall, the chart demonstrates that in the categories for which statistics on male leisure time were available, men enjoyed at least ten hours of extra leisure time.

Since it is demand that promotes production of all goods, both good and bad, the responsibility of eliminating unfriendly products - for humans and environment - lies in the hands of every individual consumer.
• As an educated individual how best can you endorse this view?
• What other ways can you suggest to cut down on the production of harmful goods?
Lives on the Planet are threatened by many harmful products, and it is very much true that demand is what promotes such products. So as an educated individual I cannot but support this view being discussed, and I have my own suggestions in the respect.
In this connection, I find it right to stick on only one point. That is, no industry can survive for long unless what it produces is sold out in time. The things that go into the making of an industry are so diverse that no industry can survive without sales, profit and progress. All these business factors are governed by demands for what ever is produced.
Here comes the role of consumers. For example; if consumers unanimously decide on one thing that they won’t buy harmful products like tobacco, toxic beverages, suffocating plastics and similar health and ecological hazards, there is going to be slow death of all companies that produce such products. So it is demand that decides. The ball is in the court of consumers.
Apart from this, there are other alternatives, too. I think it is a good idea to impose ceilings on the quantity of products manufactured, so that free availability can be curtailed. Besides this, governments can decline all fresh applications for permission to open fresh industries. Incorporating a lesson in the school curriculum comprehenisively highlighting the dangers of harmful products will make the upcoming generation stay off hazardous products.
In short, when it comes to eliminating harmful products, the major role needs to be played by consumers. Along with this, the suggestions afore made can also do some favours to our Planet and all the lives on it.

Since every mistake is taken as an opportunity to do better, some people believe that children should be given enough freedom to commit mistakes, whereas some others say they should be instructed to avoid mistakes as it enables them to be careful and conscious.
Essay 071
• What is your opinion on these two view points?
There are differing views on whether children be given enough freedom to commit mistakes or they should be encouraged to avoid mistakes. But it is a fact that committing mistakes is an opportunity that makes children do well. I think pressing children to avoid mistakes may hamper learning.
Not many would deny the fact that learning is a complex process involving a lot of exercises. One such exercise is doing and learning. For example, when children are given freedom to commit mistakes, while engaged in some learning activity, they are likely to feel at home and do err. When the teacher or the mentor highlights the mistake and rectifies them, the ward happens to get the gravity of the mistake s/he has done. It helps her/him correct it once and for all.
On the contrary, if we insist our children to avoid mistakes, what happens is that it hampers the learning process, because, children are free learners and it is their sense of freedom that makes them at ease. Still, wanting them not to commit mistakes is good to some extent because it makes children conscious of what they are doing. This conscious approach to learning process cuts down on the number of mistakes. However, forcing them to do things right all the time is not encouraging.
Looking at both the arguments, I am of the opinion that it is a good idea to let children commit mistakes. Trial and error method in learning is an excellent concept being promoted world over. Of course, if children could avoid mistakes all by themselves, it is not bad either.

Five different questions from five different areas:
1.
There is a growing concern on the fact that younger generation is concentrating more on real time technology and its possibilities than on their society and its related responsibilities.
• How genuine is this concern in your opinion?
• How best does real time technology help the young?
2.
Bigger families are passé (old fashioned) and smaller families are in practice. This family order is more disadvantageous than advantageous.
• Try to prove that it is true.
You may take example/s from your surroundings to prove your point?
3.
Globalization as a mutually beneficial international arrangement is looked at with suspicion and disdain. However, there are innumerable examples to prove that it is beneficial for all member countries.
• Try to prove that this apprehension on globalization is greatly unfounded.
You may take example/s from your surroundings to prove your point?
4.
Competition as such is very much common in all walks of human life, and it is as old as human social life. But, of late, this human tendency is taking alarming proportions.
• How is competition as a human nature getting reflected in your place?

1. Some people say that community media platforms like talk-shows, facebook, blog and the like have made life much more social and interactive. But there are others who feel that this development has marred social life.
• How genuine are these two claims in your personal point of view?
The advent of net-based community portals has had great influence on human social life. When it comes to the claim that human life has become more interactive, I tend to believe that it is genuine. However, we cannot ignore the seamy sides of media.
Human social life is established by way of many factors. To mention a few, its interaction, meeting, sharing, exchanging pleasures and pains, getting informed and informing, expressing oneself and appreciating the merits and achievement of others and so goes the list. When we position these instruments of social life with what is happening with community portals, what I think, is that there is much more interaction and activity than it was in the past.
For example; seeing our classmates or schoolmates after long years, meeting our friends who remain spread at different places across borders, finding new friends and interacting with them etc. are much easier today than it was before. And we cannot expect today’s busy people to be meeting each other face to face. Our life does not offer such luxuries. In this context, community media platforms do the job exceptionally well, though mechanically.
All these possibilities notwithstanding, there is a seamy side to it. These personal electronic spaces have become platforms for cyber crimes; many children and youngsters get trapped into net-based asocial contacts and antisocial forces exploit these media for their dirty designs.
In short, if we compare the extent of possibilities these community portals offer with the limited problems they create, many would accept the fact that the first claim - that it has made life more social and interactive - holds much water than the second view.

A machine that was developed lately
What it is
When it was developed
How it works and helps man
Well, our times have a seen a lot developments
And I would like to talk about a new medical machine
Developed recently, and it is going to be a great help to man.
The machine is called ultra sound signal chain
Which, the developers say, would help doctors and patients alike.
It’s the latest development in medical care, and
The developers Frost and Sullivan says that this machine
Can be commercially developed within a few months
When produced commercially, this machine will be small
Enough to be made portable, and it is designed to
Fit in ICUs, ambulances and similar mobile triage situations.
When it comes to its medial application
It works much more efficiently than any other ultra sound based
Diagnosing device. It is very simple, and almost sound proof and
It works on a new microchip which functions like a chain does,
Identifying ultrasounds one after the other and ending up with the
Last possible detection; that is even the indecipherable sound beats
This is best suited for people
who are suffering from age related ailments.
I think this chip-supported machine will revolutionize
The way geriatric care works these days
As our century is bound to look after greater number of
Aged people than it was before, this is medical machine
Will give the aged population a little relief.
Yes, this is a great development, that is all about it sir.

Expenditure on fast foods by income groups
The bar graph on expenditure on fast foods by income groups in the UK in 1990 shows that high income group spent the most on Hamburger, above 40 pence per person per week. This is followed by average income group which set aside more than 30 pence a week. When it comes to low income group, the spending fell to below 15 pence per week.
If we look at the figures of Fish and Chips and pizzas, the high income group spared hardly fifty percent of what was used for hamburger. But the difference with regard to average income group did not differ much. It came down to 25 pence. The low income group went with 15 pence.
Finally, let us see how pizza as a fast food faired among these groups. While high income group set aside about 20 pence, the average group’s share was above 10 pence and the low income group’s was the least, above five pence.
While hamburger remained popular among high and average income groups, fish and chips were the favourite of low income group.
Touching all points.

Is it the alarming rise in population that makes the world more food insecure? Or, it is the phenomenal fall in agricultural production that keeps the world hungry?
• How do you find these views?
Food crisis is real world over. Population rise and fall in production are two of several other reasons that could be attributed to hunger. Of course, these two are just two of those factors.
Let me see how rising population contributes to this issue. It is a fact that when there are much more mouths to be fed than what is there to keep feed them with, food crisis is sure to happen. But, this is not always true. For example; millions of Indians go to bed hungry every day. This is not because India does not have enough grains to feed them. But it doesn’t have a fool-proof Public Distribution System (PDS) in place. For millions, food is not affordable, too. The rich poor divide is the real culprit here.
Moving on to the other poser, I think it is partly true that fall in production leads to food crisis. This situation is necessitated more by emerging non-agricultural opportunities than by anything else. Agriculture as a profession has lost its sheen and new generation is going after white color and blue color jobs. Naturally, production comes down. However, there are instances to prove that many rich countries have developed super productive crops, and they are able to produce surplus food, too. Here again, it is the rich-poor divide that stands on the way of food security.
In brief, it is right to say that the world has all the resources to eliminate food crisis. It is neither rising population nor fall in production that causes it. It is the rich poor divide that makes millions go to hungry beds everyday.

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.

Modern man doesn’t have any other alternative ways than learning to live with the devastating effects of consumerism.
Essay 043
• Do you think consumerism is as devastating as it is said to be?
• Are there way outs to make it less dangerous than what it actually is?
Consumerism is taken by different people differently. I for one, out of my experience, of the opinion that it is not only devastating, but dangerous as well. However, there are alternative ways to make it friendly.
Let me prove it. Firstly, most of the problems the world faces today are of consumerism. For example, climate change, resource crunch, wastes, ecological imbalance, and rich poor divide, temperature rise, to mention a few, are its by-products. Secondly, poor become poorer by consuming things both wanted and unwanted. Demands go up putting extreme pressure on the power grid. Mercury finds new levels melting the glaziers, seasons fail and poor rains happen. Finally, consumer giants devour small businesses and assume phenomenal sizes. Isn’t consumerism dangerous?
However, there are possibilities to tame it. But the onus lies in us all. Firstly, consumers must identify their needs. Secondly, there should be a clear picture on what we need to be able to lead a happy life. Thirdly, we all should learn to follow a responsible way of life. We have to identify everything in nature as ours and contributing whatever is possible back to nature; protecting itself and ourselves at the same time. In the long run, surely, consumerism will become a people friendly way of life.
To conclude it, it is man who has made consumerism a way of life, and it is man who suffers from it. Therefore, the ball is in the consumers’ court. They can make it less devastating than it actually is, and it is clear that there are ways in front of them.

Ecological benefit is taken by ecologists as a viable option to maintain green cover. But there is an argument that this will halt growth as the benefits offered may not be at par with the production, if the land is used differently.
Essay 073
• Discuss both the views and say what you feel about the concept.
• Ecological benefit: an allowance paid to those landowners who have some measures of green cover and are ready to keep it in tact for the well-being of the planet.
Speedy carbon recycling is the need of the hour, and ecologists find ecological benefit as a feasible option. But the concern that it would slow down growth is not unfounded. I feel that ecological benefit is to be promoted by all means.
It is the talk of the world that our Planet needs to be protected from the perils of carbon. Since green cover is the only solution, ecologists are of the view that the existing green cover is not enough to meet the challenges. Naturally, there is need for individual participation. This, in turn, needs government support. If governments can meet the expectations of people, who have their own green cover, people would keep it for the well being of the world. So offering decent ecological benefits to individuals would go a long way in making the world a healthier place to be in.
However, mere green cover maintenance wouldn’t meet the needs of the world population. The concern that it would slowdown growth needs to be address by alternatives. Today, humans are much better placed with efficient technologies to be applied in agriculture to augment production, and there are research and development options to meet the rising needs of man and, finally, humans themselves can control population. This will keep his needs controlled, and the Planet may be at ease to keep the population supplied with enough resources.
Looking at both the views, it is right to conclude that future of the Planet lies in the hands of every individual, and uniform participation of individuals alone would make a difference in carbon management. No wonder, ecological benefit sounds great.

This, in turn, needs government support. If governments can meet the expectations of people, who have their own green cover, people would keep it for the well being of the world. So offering decent ecological benefits to individuals would go a long way in making the world a healthier place to be in.
However, mere green cover maintenance wouldn’t meet the needs of the world population. The concern that it would slowdown growth needs to be address by alternatives. Today, humans are much better placed with efficient technologies to be applied in agriculture to augment production, and there are research and development options to meet the rising needs of man and, finally, humans themselves can control population. This will keep his needs controlled, and the Planet may be at ease to keep the population supplied with enough resources.
Looking at both the views, it is right to conclude that future of the Planet lies in the hands of every individual, and uniform participation of individuals alone would make a difference in carbon management. No wonder, ecological benefit sounds great.

Three questions:
1. Some people say that community media platforms like talk-shows, facebook, blog and the like have made life much more social and interactive. But there are others who feel that this development has marred social life.
• How genuine are these two claims in your personal point of view?
2. The ever increasing popularity of interactive media has done more harm than good to human life.
• How far can support or oppose this view?
3. Humanity stands greatly benefited by way of the possibilities offered by network based interactive platforms like blogs, facebook and twitter.
• Argue for and against this view?
4. Community portals like blogs, facebook and tweeter make access to personal information much easier. This development is equally advantageous and disadvantageous.
• Do you think its advantages can outweigh its disadvantages?
5. Community portals like blogs, facebook and tweeter are said to be keeping old and new generations wider apart than what the so-called generation gap could have made them to be.
• Is this concern genuine in your opinion?
• What all ways can you suggest keep generations closer?

All the educated and successful of a community must return whatever is possible for them to their immediate society.
• How do you look at this statement?
Social welfare is a collective exercise in which society has the duty to give its citizens whatever is needed for them to be successful. The same way, citizens have to be returning whatever is possible for them to the community. This responsibility is higher with the educated and successful.
As a matter of fact, society is a collective term, and keeping its well being is a complex process. From individuals’ perspective, their society is expected to provide them with everything so that they can be productive and thereby successful. For example, schools, food, energy and water security, law and order, justice system, medical care, transportation, sanitation and the list goes on.
Here crops a question? Do all members depend on their society for everything throughout their life? No. Society as such is a complex mix of people: there are haves and have-nots, educated and not so educated, employed and unemployed, healthy and weak, young and old, and there are several other disparities. Can a society bridge all these gaps?
Here comes the role of the educated and successful. There are innumerable options for them to help their society that has made them what they actually are. For example, doctors can offer free consultation; teachers can guide poor students; advocates can offer a little free legal aid, the educated can help educate the rest and the successful can generate employment, and the employed can promote development.
In short, it is right to say there is no society without people’s participation and there are no successful people without societal intervention. This is a two way process, and the absence of one will cancel the other out. It is a kind of help and be helped.

In some countries, the unemployed youth, who have got the right attitude, are encouraged to do voluntarily services for their community so that they would get better groomed themselves once they get into some paid job.
• How good is this concept in the point of view of an unemployed?
• How is this idea going to influence a society in general?
Being prepared to work for one’s community is a great quality. When the work is done voluntarily at free times? It is greater. This idea would serve all the aspiring unemployed, and their selfless contributions would benefit their society, too.
How is this idea going to work for one who has no income? The answer to this question lies in one’s attitude, or what we call, “if there is a will…..” The fact is that an unemployed, who does voluntary work, is actually serving himself first and his society next in several different ways. S/he can feel the pulse of the community, understand the dignity of labour, enjoy the taste of sweat, pick up soft skills like communication, socializing, time management, prioritizing, and so goes the list. Are these things not going to help an unemployed person to get him or herself cut for a new job?
Let me look at it from a social angle. A welfare society needs to look into the welfare of all and employment is one of the major factors that make a society successful. So, if all the educated and aspiring job seekers are willing to put in some free service to their community during their employment-free times, their society would witness great changes in terms of say, better sanitation, waste and water management, energy conservation, education on environment, health and hygiene, and the list may go endless.
In short, the attitude of the unemployed to work for the community voluntarily is a win-win proposition. It benefits the youth greatly in terms of their grooming, and their immediate society, in turn, will experience better welfare. Voluntary service, I tend to say, is the best paid job.
