The capitalist system of society does not foster healthy relations among human beings. A few
people own all the means of production and others though nominally few have to sell their labor
under conditions imposed upon them. The emphasis of capitalism being on the supreme
importance of material wealth the intensity of its appeal is to the acquisitive intensity. It
promotes worship of economic power with little regard to the means employed for its acquisition
and the end that it serves. By its exploitation of human being to the limits of endurance its
concentration is on the largest profit rather than maximum production. Thus the division of
human family is done on the basis of economic circumstance. All this is injurious to division of
human dignity . And when the harrowed poor turn to the founders of religion for succor, they
rather offer a subtle defense for the established order. They promise future happiness for their
present suffering and conjure up visions of paradise to redress the balance to soothe the suffering
and the revolt of the tortured men . The system imposes injustice the religion justifies it.

VII. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. 1x5=5M

Gary Chapman in his book, Love was a Way of Life uses the vivid metaphor for words as being
either ‘bullets or seeds’. Ife we use our words as bullets with a feeling of superiority and
condemnation , we are not going to be able to restore the relationship to love . If we use our
words as seeds with a feeling of supportiveness and sincere good will, we can rebuild a
relationship in positive and life-affirming ways. When we need to talk candidly about something
difficult with another person , we must focus on the conversation with keen attention and
purpose. During the conversation we must listen patiently , speak tactfully , and tell the truth as
we understand it. We must align our words , voice inflection and tone , eye expression , body
language, and actions with our inner wareness in an honest exchange.
