Precis<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Culture has two aspects i.e. formal and ideological, the former being the expression of the latter. They together form a social structure, causing a change in the parent organism. Cultural problems are linked with social problems which can be solved only in the social context. Countries coming under European Imperialism suffered culturally. The progress remained confined to selected people. The feudal and tribal societies remained constantly at war with one other. This process was enhanced by imperialism. There was fragmentation and division. Newly liberated countries inherited this structure. Countries under European Imperialism developed a feudal system or were at a primitive stage. Their social and cultured process stopped with foreign occupation. \u00a0(110 Words)<\/div>\n

Q.3\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
1. According to Confucius, human society does not progress naturally. Rulers and people had certain ideas which they admired but were not able to achieve much. Human history shows that rulers and people have been struggling for what they did achieve. Also, the human society is constantly evolving.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. The ideas of Confucius really helped China to become stable and strong. He aimed at creating a stable society and achieving excellence in various fields. The people of China, under the influence of his thoughts, made wonderful progress.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3. The author thinks that Confucius’ system deserves respect and admiration because the system given by him was so realistic and comprehensive that the Chinese, acting on that system, became a great nation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. There was no mention of God, spirituality, divine element or the supernatural in his system. His system was based upon pure reason, good sense and ethics. So it was not a religion.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5. Confucius’ ideal of a gentleman is biased on rationalism, wisdom and good sense. This ideal, secular in nature, is bound to appeal to every thinking man. It has a wide appeal because it is not based on any particular dogma.<\/div>\n

Q.4 <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
IS DEMOCRACY AN IDEAL FORM OF GOVERNMENT?<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Since the days of Aristotle, democracy has been the ideal of political philosophers. Since the French revolution, government of the people, by the people through their chosen representatives has been the ideal form of government for all nations.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Democracy, socialism, secularism, and international peace are a nation’s goals. These goals are to be achieved through democratic process. In a democracy, all decisions are taken collectively after discussion. The consent of the people is taken through their elected representatives. The political party winning the majority of seats forms the government.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In such a set up individual citizens have an important role to perform. They have a special responsibility of electing a good government and then keeping a watch on its performance. Their co-operations is essential for successfully running a democratic government. Therefore the people too should be fully aware of national and international problems. Only then would they be able to make the correct decision and help the Government to function efficiently. History has proved that man has not been able to devise a better system that democracy. It is, therefore, an ideal form of government.<\/div>\n
