Question # 3
Recent
advances in science and technology have made it possible for geneticists to
find out abnormalities in the unborn foetus and take remedial action to rectify
some defects which would otherwise prove to be fatal to the child. Though
genetic engineering is still at tis infancy, scientists can now predict with
greater accuracy, a genetic disorder. It is not yet an exact science since they
are not in a position to predict when exactly a genetic disorder will set in.
While they have not yet been able to change the genetic order of the gene in
germs, they are optimistic and are holding about that in the near future they
might be successful in achieving this feat. They have, however, acquired the
ability to manipulate tissue cells. However, genetic mis-information can sometimes
be damaging for it may adversely affect people psychologically. Genetic
information may lead to a tendency to brand some people as inferiors. Genetic
information can therefore be abused and its application in deciding the sex of
the foetus and its subsequent abortion is now hotly debated on ethical lines.
But on this issue geneticists cannot be squarely blamed though this charge has
often been leveled at them. It is mainly a societal problem. At present genetic
engineering is a costly process of detecting disorders but scientists hope to
reduce the costs when technology becomes more advanced. This why much progress
in this area has been possible in scientifically advanced and rich countries
like the U.S.A., U.K., and Japan. It remains to be seen if in the future this
science will lead to the development of a race of supermen or will be able to
obliterate illness from this world.
Q: At present genetic engineering can rectify all genetic disorders. Is it so?
Question # 4
Through the U.S. prides itself on behing a leader in the
world community, a recent report shows that it lags far behind other industrialized
countries in meeting the needs of its youngest and most vulnerable citizens.
The U.S. has a higher infant mortality rate, a higher proportion of low birth
weight babies, a smaller proportion of babies immunized against childhood
diseases and a much higher rate adolescent pregnancies. These findings,
described as a quiet crisis requiring immediate and far-reaching action,
appeared in a report prepared by a task force of educators, doctors,
politicians and business people. According to the report, a fourth of the
nation’s 12 infants and toddlers live in poverty. As many as half confront risk
factors that could harm their ability to develop intellectually, physically and
socially. Child immunizations are too low, more children are born into poverty,
more are in substandard care while their parents work and more are being raised
by single parents When taken together, these and other risk factor can lead to
educational and health problems that are much harder and more costly to
reverse.
The crisis beings in the womb with unplanned parenthood.
Women with unplanned pregnancies are less likely to seek pre-natal care. In the
U.S. 80% of teenage pregnancies and 56% of all pregnancies are unplanned. The
problems continue after birth where unplanned pregnancies and unstable
partnerships often go hand in hand. Since 1950, the number of single parent
families had nearly tripled. More than 25 percent of all births today are to unmarried
mothers. As the number of single parent families grows and more women enter the
work force, infants and toddlers are increasingly in the care of people other
than their parents.
Most disturbingly, recent statistics show that American
parents are increasingly neglecting or abusing their children. In only four
years from 1987-1991, the number of children in foster care increased by over
50 percent. Babies under the age of one are the fastest growing category of
children entering foster care. The crisis affects children under the age of
three most severely the report says. Yet, it is this period-from infancy
through preschool years- that sets the stage for a child’s future.
The number of children born to married mothers in the U.S. is approximately how many times the number of children born to unwed mothers?

The history of literature can be traced to the earliest forms
of the arts. Man danced for joy round his primitive camp fire after the defeat
and slaughter of his enemy. He yelled and shouted as he danced and gradually
the yells and shouts became coherent and caught the measure of the dance and
thus the first war song was sung. As the idea of God developed, prayers were
framed. The songs and prayers became traditional and wee repeated from one
generation to another, each generation adding something of its own.
As man slowly grew more civilized, he was compelled to
invent some method of writing due to three urgent necessities. There were
certain things that it was dangerous to forget and which, therefore, had to be
recorded. It was often necessary to communicate with persons who were some
distance away and it was necessary to safeguard one’s property by making appropriate
tools and taking protective measure in a distinctive manner. So man taught
himself to write and having learned to write, purely for utilitarian reasons,
he used this new method for preserving his was songs and his prayers. Of
course, among these ancient peoples, there were only a very few individuals who
learned to write, and only few could read what was written.

The public distribution system, which provides food at low
prices, is a subject of vital concern. There is a growing realization that
though Pakistan has enough food to feed its masses three square meals a day,
the monster of starvation and food insecurity continues to haunt the poor in
our country.
Increasing the purchasing power of the poor through
providing productive employment, leading to rising income, and thus good
standard of living is the ultimate objective of public policy. However, till
then, there is a need to provide assured supply of food through a restructured,
more efficient and decentralized public distribution system (PDS).
Although the PDS is extensive – it is one of the largest
such systems in the world – it has yet to reach the rural poor and the far off
places. It remains an urban phenomenon, with the majority of the rural poor
still out of its reach due to lack of economic and physical access. The poorest
in the cities and the migrants are left out, for they generally don not possess
ration cards. The allocation of PDS supplies in big cities is large than in
rural areas. In view of such deficiencies in the system, the PDS urgently needs
to be streamlined. In addition, considering the large food grains production combined
with food subsidy on one hand and the continuing slow starvation and dismal
poverty of the rural population on the other, there is a strong case for making
PDS target group oriented.
The growing salaried class is provided job security, regular
income, and percent insulation against inflation. These gains of development
have not percolated down to the vast majority of our working population. If one
compares only dearness allowance to the employees in public and private sector
and looks at its growth in the past few years, the rising food subsidy is
insignificant to the point of inequity. The food subsidy is a kind of D.A. to
the poor, the self-employed and those in the unorganized sector of the economy.
However, what is most unfortunate is that out of the large budget of the
so-called food subsidy, the major part of it is administrative cost and
wastages. A small portion of the above budget goes to real consumer and an even
lesser portion to the poor who are in real need.
It is true that subsidies should not become a permanent
feature, except for the destitute, disabled, widows and the old. It is also
true that subsides often create a psychology of dependence and hence are habit-forming
and killing the general initiative of the people. By making PDS target group
oriented, not only the poorest and neediest would be reached without additional
cost, but it will actually cut overall costs incurred on large cities and for
better off localities. When the food and food subsidy are limited, the rural
and urban poor should have the priority in the PDS supplies. The PDS should be
closely linked with programs of employment generation and nutrition
improvement.
Q: What, according to the passage, is the main purpose of public policy in the long run?
A. Reducing the cost of living index by increasing supplies
B. Providing enough food to all the citizens
C. Good standard of living through productive employment
D. Equalizing per capita income across different strata of society
