Bitcoins are a form of virtual currency. In other words, they are a type of money that does not exist in the
actual world. However, they can be used to purchase actual products and services from real companies. The
bitcoin system was created in 2009 by an enigmatic person named Satoshi Nakamoto. In fact, no one is sure
if Satoshi Nakamoto is an actual person or a group of people. Bitcoins are designed to serve as an alternative
to national currencies, such as dollars and euros, They can be used to pay for things instead of cash or credit
cards. When bitcoins are transferred from a buyer to a seller, the transaction is recorded in a public database.
Governments are concerned that bitcoins can easily be stolen by hackers. It has dawned on them that they
might be used for illegal purposes. For example, stolen goods could be purchased without the government's
knowledge. Although more and more companies are beginning to accept bitcoins, the percentage of
purchases made using bitcoins is minuscule compared to other online payment methods, such as credit
cards. Instead, many bitcoin owners simply keep them as an investment since more valuable in the future.
This may or may not be a wise approach. Currently, the value of bitcoins is fluctuating wildly, especially
when compared to highly stable national currencies, Bitcoin Investors are gambling on the hope that as this
high-tech money becomes more widely accepted, its value will soar.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Despite widespread assumptions to the contrary, there is no prescribed pathway for the development of
a society,  no single model on which development strategies should be based. The Western model of
development, conceived linear process involving largely economic factors, is often incompatible with the
complex social, cultural and political dimensions of societies pursuing different goals, reflecting their own
values. The ideology of development has all too often tended to damage the social fabric and foundations-
often rooted in traditions of communal solidarity- of the communities that have received “development aid”
Just as no development strategy can be said to be culturally neutral, a culturally sensitive approach to
development is the key to addressing the interlinked social, economic and environmental problems
confronting the planet as a whole. Cultural diversity - which emphasizes the dynamic interactions between
cultures and sensitivity to cultural contexts - thus becomes a key lever for ensuring sustainable, holistic
development strategies. While the international community, in its attempts to operationalize the concept of
sustainable development over the last two decades, has begun to acknowledge the role of culture in the
development process, the cultural factor has yet to be fully integrated into the development equation.
The 1987 Bruntland Report of the UN Commission on Environment and Development (UNCED),
entitled our Common Future, was seminal in its assertion that genuine development must be sustainable -
denoting a form of growth “that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs". At the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, sustainability was
conceived in terms of the three pillars of economic viability, social responsiveness and respect for the
environment. These pillars have since served as the basis for important standard-setting instruments,
Including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Nations Framework Convention on
Climate on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in
Johannesburg went further by recognizing cultural diversity as a significant cross-cutting factor in
sustainable development. Cultural diversity must be seen as a cross-cutting (rather than as a separate, fourth
pillar of sustainability), with an important role to play in all development projects, from poverty eradication
and the safeguarding of biodiversity to resource management and climate change.

development, conceived linear process involving largely economic factors, is often incompatible with the
complex social, cultural and political dimensions of societies pursuing different goals, reflecting their own
values. The ideology of development has all too often tended to damage the social fabric and foundations-
often rooted in traditions of communal solidarity- of the communities that have received “development aid”
Just as no development strategy can be said to be culturally neutral, a culturally sensitive approach to
development is the key to addressing the interlinked social, economic and environmental problems
confronting the planet as a whole. Cultural diversity - which emphasizes the dynamic interactions between
cultures and sensitivity to cultural contexts - thus becomes a key lever for ensuring sustainable, holistic
development strategies. While the international community, in its attempts to operationalize the concept of
sustainable development over the last two decades, has begun to acknowledge the role of culture in the
development process, the cultural factor has yet to be fully integrated into the development equation.
The 1987 Bruntland Report of the UN Commission on Environment and Development (UNCED),
entitled our Common Future, was seminal in its assertion that genuine development must be sustainable -
denoting a form of growth “that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs". At the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, sustainability was
conceived in terms of the three pillars of economic viability, social responsiveness and respect for the
environment. These pillars have since served as the basis for important standard-setting instruments,
Including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Nations Framework Convention on
Climate on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in
Johannesburg went further by recognizing cultural diversity as a significant cross-cutting factor in
sustainable development. Cultural diversity must be seen as a cross-cutting (rather than as a separate, fourth
pillar of sustainability), with an important role to play in all development projects, from poverty eradication
and the safeguarding of biodiversity to resource management and climate change.
