Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the given question.
The psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and 'anti psychiatrist' Thomas Szasz argued that there was no such thing as mental illness. He believed that mental illnesses were 'problems of living': personal conflicts, bad habits and moral faults. Therefore, mental illness was the sufferer's own personal responsibility. As a consequence, Szasz claimed that psychiatry should be abolished as a medical discipline, since it had nothing to treat. If a person's symptoms had a physiological basis, then they were physical disorders of the brain rather than 'mental' ones.
I personally believe that mental illnesses are mental only in that they are psychiatric. Ordinary understandings of the mind, and what is and isn't part of it, have nothing to do with it. Perception is generally considered to be mental, a part of the mind – yet, while medicine considers deafness and blindness to be disorders of perception, it doesn't class them as mental illnesses. Why? The answer is obvious: because psychiatrists generally aren't the best doctors to treat deafness and blindness.
When people talk about 'the mind' and 'the mental' in psychiatry, my first thought is always 'What exactly do they mean?' A 'mental' illness is just an illness that psychiatry is equipped to deal with. That's determined as much by practical considerations about the skills psychiatrists have to offer, as it is by theoretical or philosophical factors. But this pragmatic approach hides itself behind appeals to 'mental illness'. In many contexts, the term mental tends to bring along inappropriate and stigmatizing connotations – showing that the wrong bridges have been built.
Imagine that you suffer from long-term, chronic pain. You go to the latest in a series of doctors: by this point, and especially if you are a member of a marginalized group (a woman or person of color, say), doctors might have dismissed or disbelieved you; they might have assumed you were exaggerating your pain, or perhaps that you were a hypochondriac. After some tests, and some questions, you're eventually told that your chronic pain is a mental illness, and referred to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist, you are told, will not prescribe drugs or surgery, but will instead prescribe psychotherapy, also known as 'talk therapy', and occasionally, 'mental therapy'.
You might, quite reasonably, think that this doctor disbelieves you too. Perhaps they think that you have a delusion, or that you're lying because of some kind of personality disorder? In mainstream pieces on the topic, being referred to a psychiatrist is seen as tantamount to being disbelieved, dismissed or called a hypochondriac. It's understandable that you might be annoyed for your condition to be branded a 'mental illness'. But what about your doctor – what did they want you to take away from that interaction? It might well be that they absolutely believed that you were in severe, involuntary pain, caused by heightened sensitisation of the peripheral nervous system as a result of 'rewiring'. Pain that results from rewiring of the nervous system is known as 'neoplastic pain', recognised as a highly medically significant category of pain. They don't necessarily think you're lying or delusional. In invoking 'mental illness', what they might have meant is only that it might be best treated by talk therapy, and best managed and understood by a psychiatrist.

Q. Which of the following statements is the author most likely to disagree with?
Directions: Read the passage and answer the question based on it.
Ninety seven years old; this is the age of the oldest student in the world who graduated from a university, who has recently received a Master's in Clinical Science - 76 years after attaining his first university degree. However, as extreme as this example may seem, a question remains highly debatable: Is it ever too late to study?
Studying is one of the main tools used to gain knowledge in a variety of subjects, notions, and the world around us in general. It is the basic channel of perception of reality, which we otherwise would be unable to understand. Ignoring the opportunity to study would basically be equal to ignoring the whole world that surrounds us. Therefore, it stands as perfectly reasonable to further one's education after graduating from high school.
Higher education in the United States is viewed as a wise choice, as it invests in one's future and gains an asset that will be one's stronghold when climbing up the social ladder. Many high school graduates do not have an opportunity to continue their education right away. Therefore, when a person has already achieved a stable career and knows exactly what it is he or she wants to deepen their knowledge in, he or she has the right to continue.
With the American educational system being arguably a flexible one, you do not even have to become a full-time student anymore to learn more about the subjects that interest you. You can take a few courses at a certain university, pay the fees, and attend the classes for your own purposes.
Nevertheless, it is believed that after some point in life, it becomes too late for activities such as being a student. Choosing to be a student in many cases means you are willing and able to take on the whole package, or otherwise you risk feeling like an outcast and dropping out of school, even if the classes are interesting and the professors are fantastic. When you consider applying to a specific university after a certain age, when the above mentioned happenings become of a lesser value to you, look at those institutions that are more flexible and do not require living on campus and fully engaging in the academic and non-academic sides of university life.
Another factor that might get in the way of effective studying after a certain age is your capabilities. If you decide to finally become a student, it is implied that you have the required desire to learn, listen, and absorb the knowledge. However, unfortunately, sometimes just the desire itself is not enough. It is a known fact that with age, our memory, attention, and ability to learn may decrease greatly - studying may become a much more difficult challenge than it could have been when we were younger. At the same time, if you have the dedication, motivation, and persistence to become a student at a later stage in life, I suppose these traits will aid you in achieving your aim as well.
Studying is a necessity rather than a privilege. It should never be too late to study if a person wants to. There is no doubt that setting an expiration date on one's opportunity to learn and follow their dreams would be wrong. Despite all the analyzed obstacles that may possibly come in the way of studying, they should not become an insurmountable barrier in the path of one's self-actualisation.

Punishment in society is typically seen as a method to correct the fracture of societal harmony. This fracture occurs when there is a threat to the shared values, morals, norms and the identity of the group and/or society. The state has regulated society's shared norms and values, and those who commit these infractions are subjected to degrees of punishment: whether it be fines, community service, prison time, and sometimes death at the hands of the state. Other than punishment being a method of correcting threats to societal harmony, punishment can reveal the relationship between how actors, institutions, administrative tactics, and social mechanisms create society, more specifically, how it establishes and perpetuates inequality amongst the people.
