Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.
The last half of my life was spent at one of those painful epochs of human history, during which the world seemed to be getting worse; where past victories which had seemed to be definitive have turned out to be only temporary. When I was young, Victorian optimism was taken for granted. It was thought that freedom and prosperity would spread gradually through the world through an orderly process, and it was hoped that cruelty, tyranny, and injustice would continually diminish. Hardly anyone was hunted by the fear of great wars. Hardly any-one thought of the nineteenth century as a brief interlude between past and future barbarism.
Q. The author felt sad about the latter part of his life because:
Direction: Despite promises of aid, the actual record of international aid to post-war reconstruction is deficient. Once the war ends, agencies involved in post-war relief efforts fail to understand how to start or restart economic development in a low income setting. They squander time, surplus aid funds and opportunities because they are not familiar with local conditions and don't understand their needs and viewpoints. There are distinct phases of outside help to end a conflict. In the first phase, focus is one providing instant food, water, shelter, medicine to refugees, this is the humanitarian. In the second phase emphasis is on the refugees' returning home while in the last phase long-term investments and strengthening of courts is the main focus.
Q. Where does the problem lie in implementing post-war relief measures?
Direction: Once a conflict gets over, aid agencies sanctioned by the world Bank send study groups instead of requisite personnel. There is a gap of several years before moving from humanitarian relief to economic development and hence political stability. By the time such help arrives the war has restarted. It is possible to restart economic development through targeted "quick impact" initiatives. Most economies in post-conflict countries are based on agriculture. Providing free packages of seeds, fertilizers and low-cost agricultural tools will ensure that former soldiers will return to their farms and establish their livelihood. But the window of opportunity closes quickly and one has to implement these measures almost immediately.
Q. What is the benefit of "Quick Impact" aid?

शिक्षा जीवन के सर्वांगीण विकास हेतु अनिवार्य है। शिक्षा के बिना मनुष्य विवेकशील और शिष्ट नहीं बन सकता। विवेक से मनुष्य में सही और गलत का चयन करने की क्षमता उत्पन्न होती है। विवेक से ही मनुष्य के भीतर उसके चहुँ ओर नित्य प्रति होते घटनाक्रमों के प्रति एक छिद्रान्वेषी दृष्टिकोण उत्पन्न होता है। शिक्षा ही मानव को मानव के प्रति मानवीय भावनाओं से पोषित करती है। शिक्षा से मनुष्य अपने परिवेश के प्रति जाग्रत होकर कर्तव्यविमुख हो जाता है। 'स्व' से 'पर' की ओर अग्रसर होने लगता है। निर्बल की सहायता करना, दुखियों के दु:ख दूर करने का प्रयास करना, दूसरों के दुःख से दु:खी हो जाना और दूसरों के सुख से स्वयं सुख का अनुभव करना जैसी बातें एक शिक्षित मानव में सरलता से देखने को मिल जाती हैं। इतिहास, साहित्य, राजनीतिशास्त्र, समाजशास्त्र, दर्शनशास्त्र इत्यादि पढ़कर विद्यार्थी विद्वान् ही नहीं बनता वरन् उसमें एक विशिष्ट जीवन दृष्टि, रचनात्मकता और परिपक्वता का सृजन भी होता है। शिक्षित सामाजिक परिवेश में व्यक्ति अशिक्षित सामाजिक परिवेश की तुलना में सदैव ही उच्च स्तर पर जीवन यापन करता है।
परन्तु आज शिक्षा का अर्थ बदल रहा है। शिक्षा भौतिक आकांक्षा की साध्य बनती जा रही है। व्यावसायिक शिक्षा के अन्धानुकरण में छात्र सैद्धान्तिक शिक्षा से दूर होते जा रहे हैं। रूस की क्रान्ति, फ्रांस की क्रान्ति, अमेरिकी क्रान्ति, समाजवाद, पूँजीवाद, राजनीतिक व्यवस्था, सांस्कृतिक मूल्यों आदि की सामान्य जानकारी भी व्यावसायिक शिक्षा ग्रहण करने वाले छात्रों को नहीं है। यह शिक्षा का विशुद्ध रोजगारकरण है। शिक्षा के प्रति इस प्रकार का संकुचित दृष्टिकोण अपनाकर विवेकशील नांगरिकों का निर्माण नहीं किया जा सकता। भारत जैसे विकासशील देश में शिक्षा रोजगार का साधन न होकर साध्य हो गई है। इस कुप्रवृत्ति पर अंकुश लगाना अनिवार्य है। जहाँ मानविकी के छात्रों को पत्रकारिता, साहित्य-सृजन, विज्ञापन, जनसम्पर्क इत्यादि कोर्स भी कराए जाने चाहिए ताकि उन्हें रोजगार के लिए न भटकना पड़े, वहीं व्यावसायिक कोर्स करने वाले छात्रों को मानविकी के विषय; जैसे-इतिहास, साहित्य, राजनीतिशास्त्र व दर्शन आदि का थोड़ा बहुत अध्ययन अवश्य कराना चाहिए ताकि समाज को विवेकशील नागरिक प्राप्त होते रहें, तभी समाज में सन्तुलन बना रहेगा।
