UPSC Interview Discussion: Think, Rethink and Perform; (TRP)- Day 1

 ARCHIVES

Set 1: Ask these questions to yourself; contemplate and come out with a concrete answer (not to be discussed on this forum). Invest at least 30 minutes on this set of questions.

• What do you want to become?
• Why do you want to join civil services?
• If you qualify the civil services examination, would you become what you want to become?

Set 2: Analyse the following issue:

The #Metoo movement has shaken the conscience of the society as a collective and forced us to rethink the fundamentals on which our society functions. That women suffer discrimination and abuse was never a hidden fact but the way in which the flurry of horror stories have come up, it also reflects upon the distorted psyche of men in power. However, what turns out to be the more worrying aspect of the movement is that it might further shrink the space for women. As more and more women come out of the vault and share their stories, several institutions have started to close their doors for women. There are chances that the #Metoo movement becomes a roadblock for many aspiring women in the future.
