Day 91 – ETHICS & HOT

1). ‘Knowledge means nothing without prestige and culture as its the culture that withstands shocks, not a simple mass of knowledge’. Critically comment.

2). Swami Vivekananda once said that circumstances had forced upon us, the need of woman’s protection. Critically comment on the importance of arming women with their own choices and education.

3). Intellectuality is not the highest good; morality and spirituality are the things to strive for. Examine the values attached with this perception in the life of a civil servant?

HOT

4). Sentiments and perception have replaced performance and ideas in the politics of India. Sentiments can be driven through innovative marketing strategies and perception can be manufactured. In a situation like this, how far the attribute of ‘attitude’ plays it’s role? Examine.

5). Despite improvements on the macroeconomic front, some of the crucial indicators including savings, investment, capital formation and exports are not picking up. It has been pointed out that lack of public investment and inadequate growth in private demand have been the principal factors behind this. What do understand by this argument? Elucidate.

6). Soft power can’t be underestimated in pursuing India’s foreign policy. In fact the proper branding and packaging of Indian culture and civilization complimented by the huge Indian diaspora living in different parts of the world can add considerable weight and momentum to India’s engagement with the world. Critically comment.
