UGC NET Paper 1 Practice Test - 2 - Question 2

Direction: Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Early feminist theory had emphasised the commonalities of women's oppression, neglecting profound differences between women in terms of class, age, religion, race and nation. As its exclusionary nature became evident, the collective 'we' of feminism was called into question. The inadequacies of feminist theorising that conflated the condition of white, middle class women with the condition of all women were highlighted in North America by black and Latin feminists, and in Britain by black and Asian feminists. Such critiques evoked the concepts of 'inter‐locking identities' and inter‐locking oppressions'. Related and more radical analyses came from feminist scholars in the Third world, where quite different agendas were called for. These critiques heightened the irrelevance of western feminism's analytical frameworks to the lives of most women around the world and attempted to reposition feminist debate within broader social, economic and cultural contexts of analysis advocated by scholars such as Janus. Such critiques spoke from a post‐colonial position, in which the self‐assumed authority of western feminists to speak about or indeed for others was disputed and decentered. Influential accounts of the tendencies of masculinist imperialist ideological formation to construct a 'monolithic Third world' woman', discursively constituted as the universal victim of Third world patriarchy, challenged feminists to "unlearn" their privilege and to deconstruct their own authority as intellectuals. These positions appeared to question the legitimacy of outside intervention of any kind, whether intellectual or political. Although subsequently attempted by the Third world scholars anxious to move beyond standpoints that threatened to mark all feminist politics as either inauthentic or unnecessary, they were enduringly influential in highlighting the questions identity and authority in feminist studies.

Q. The early feminist theory ignored among women, the issue of:

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the question.
I had occasion to work with her closely during the Women's International Year in 1975 when she was chairing a Steering Committee and made me the member in charge of publicity. Representatives from different political parties and women's organisations were on the committee, and though the leftists claimed a sort of proprietary right over her, Aruna encouraged and treated all members alike. It was not her political affiliations or her involvement in a particular cause, which won her respect and recognition, but her utter honesty in public life, her integrity and her compassion for the oppressed which made her an adorable person. She had the courage to differ with and defy the mightiest in the land; yet her human spirit prompted her to work in the worst of slums to offer succour to the poor and the exploited.
In later years – around late eighties and early nineties – Aruna Asaf Ali's health began to deteriorate. Though her mind remained alert, she could not actively take up her pet causes – action for women's advancement, planning for economic justice, role of media, reaffirmation of values in public affairs etc. Slowly, her movements were restricted and Aruna, who had drawn sustenance from common people, from her involvement in public life, became a lonely person. She passed away in July 1996.

Detailed Solution for UGC NET Paper 1 Practice Test - 2 - Question 21

Applied research is a type of research design that seeks to solve a specific problem or provide innovative solutions to issues affecting an individual, group or society. It is often referred to as a scientific method of inquiry or contractual research because it involves the practical application of scientific methods to everyday problems. When conducting applied research, the researcher takes extra care to identify a problem, develop a research hypothesis, and go ahead to test these hypotheses via an experiment. In many cases, this research approach employs empirical methods in order to solve practical problems. Applied research is sometimes considered to be a non-systematic inquiry because of its direct approach to seeking a solution to a problem. It is typically a follow-up research design that further investigates the findings of pure or basic research in order to validate these findings and apply them to create innovative solutions.

Characteristics of computer:- 
Speed:
In general, no human being can compete to solving complex computation, faster than a computer. Computers work at an incredible speed. A powerful computer is capable of performing about 3-4 million simple instructions per second.
Accuracy: Since the computer is programmed, so whatever input we give it gives the result accurately. In addition to being fast, computers are also accurate. Errors that may occur can almost always be attributed to human error (inaccurate data, poorly designed system, or faulty instructions/programs written by the programmer).
Storage: The computer can store mass storage of data in the appropriate format. Today’s computers can store large volumes of data. A piece of information once recorded (or stored) in the computer, can never be forgotten and can be retrieved almost instantaneously.
Thus, speed, accuracy and storage are part of education through computers.
