Q.2-Read the passage given below and answer the questions choosing the option that you consider the most appropriate in your answer sheet. (1x5 = 5 Marks)
The growing rate of crime among the youth today is a matter of great concern. It ranges from kidnapping, extortion and even murder. The once sensitive, caring, loving and compassionate young man immortalized by Ruskin Bond and R. K. Narayan is today a character confined to books alone. The new world has turned him into a criminal with no moral sense or ethical responsibility. The young are selfish in their thoughts, action and existence. They are like parasites; thriving on extravagant consumption of illegal material. And when this becomes an addiction, all means of self ? control, morals and ethics take a beating at individual and social spheres. There can be various reasons as to why the youth are going wrong. Increasing competition leads to stress and cutthroat competitions. Stress related problems like suicides are on the rise. The rush to succeed takes them astray. Nuclear families have made youth selfish, self centered and intolerant. The gap between the rich and the poor has led to frustration in the lower classes. Media 3 popularizes criminals like Harshad Mehta, who shot to quick fame and fortune. This allures the youth. Above all, the snags in the Indian legal system, corruption at all levels, loss of values has all worsened the situation.
