b (Question: 359438.1 )

b

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and mark the correct Answer.

One of the greatest delusions of modern times is the prevailing belief that we are more civilized than our ancestors. At no other period in the history of mankind has the word 'Civilization' been so often misused and misunderstood. It is not in the abundance of material goods alone that civilization lies. Neither does it consist in the advance of scientific knowledge however amazing it may be. The inventions and discoveries of science have undoubtedly brought unheard blessings and comforts to us. But they are not civilization. What we have failed to see is that civilization is a special way of human behaviour, of thought and feeling. The essential quality of civilization lies in the spirit of man, in his attitude to himself, to his fellowmen and to life as a whole. Looking everywhere around us today, we will find that man has made no progress since the dawn of history, in his attitude towards his fellowmen. On all the highest pillars in the cities of the world, you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general soldier. We know more about our killers and destroyers than about our saviours and saints. The heroes of the world are the heroes of war.
