PAPER NO. 13
(Year 2010 - Group I)
1. Write an essay, with an outline, of 300-350 words on ONE of the following topics:
(i) Difficulties of a B.A. Student
(ii) How to Spend Your Spare Time
(iii) Noise Pollution
(iv) Human Rights in Pakistan
(v) Old Parents
2. Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the end. (The answers must be in your own words)
Recently the mass media, formerly subservient to the medical
profession, have become increasingly restive and occasionally hostile.
In Germany, in particular the newspaper and television have given a
great deal of time and space to the complaints against the medical
profession. In Britain on BBC radio and television, the medical
practices have come under sharp and aggressive criticism. Is this
antagonism to the profession justified? And if so, why? I have tried to
answer that question by looking at the way it deals with some of the
diseases of our civilization, including the most lethal, heart-attacks
and cancer. If what emerges is an indictment of the profession, then I
would rebut the charge that I am anti-doctor. What is required in the
relationship between the doctor and the patient? The trust and
unshakable trust, I would say. Montaigne said; "I honour physicians not
for their services but for themselves". That goes for me too.
Questions:
(i) What do you understand by the mass media?
(ii) What is the writer's stance towards the medical profession?
(iii) What is a lethal disease? Explain.
