Class 12 English Unit 13: Critical Thinking

 

Critical Thinking

a.      Many innocent people lose their lives in ruthless attacks every year. What do you think the governments should do to protect their people from such attacks and make the world a safer place to live? Discuss with your friends.

Even though many citizens are murdered in brutal attacks every year, it is not desirable since the state must protect its citizens. A country’s government is accountable for its citizens’ safety and security. Every country’s government should be concerned about global security and work together to ensure everyone’s safety. The government must protect the country and its residents from dangers such as foreign strikes and terrorist acts. A government is in charge of defense, foreign policy, national security, the economy, and social services.

The government should take several measures. The government should create courts and prisons, and elect or appoint people to pass and execute laws. Taxation should be utilized to support an army and police force. Finally, the government should preserve peace and order, establish strict laws, aid its citizens, and protect the nation and its people.

b.     Revenge and violence are integral parts of history and civilization. They can’t be ignored, only managed. Do you agree or not with this statement? Present your logic.

Yes, I believe. Violence and vengeance have long been part of human civilization. Inaction may cause new issues for civilisation. They won’t go away. Victims of physical or verbal abuse want revenge. This provokes unpleasant feelings like rage and hatred. They are humiliated when made to feel weak, foolish, ignorant, or ashamed, and take revenge via violence. Signed on June 28th, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles ended the war, but also humiliated and shamed Germany. It also obligated the German government financially. In 1939, Germany re-started WWII as a form of vengeance.

Revenge may be both good and harmful. Various types of violence include psychological, physical, and sexual assault. Violence is caused by biological, social, cognitive, and environmental factors. So, Revenge and violence are essential components of human history and civilization.
