III. Paragraph Writing:<\/p>\n

Discuss in pairs\/groups of four each the answers to the following questions. Individually note down the important points for each question and then develop the points into a one-paragraph answer.<\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nWrite on Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s comments on action prompted by the motive of happiness in another world.
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gandhiji says that action done for considerations of comfort and personal happiness in another world is non-moral.<\/li>\n
  2. St. Francis Xavier prayed passionately because it was man\u2019s duty to pray.<\/li>\n
  3. St. Theresa kept a torch and a vessel of water so that man learns to serve God without any fear or temptations.<\/li>\n
  4. It is difficult to judge the morality of man\u2019s action.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Paragraph: Gandhiji says that an action done for considerations of comfort and personal happiness in another world is non-moral. That action is moral which is done only for the sake of doing good. St. Francis Xavier prayed passionately that his mind might always remain pure. For him, the devotion of God was not for enjoying a higher seat after death. He prayed because it was man\u2019s duty to pray.<\/p>\n

    St. Theresa wished to have a torch in her right hand and a vessel might burn the glories of heaven and with the other extinguish the fires of hell, and men might learn to serve God from love along without fear of hell and without the temptation of heavenly bliss. Commenting upon great men who have sacrificed their values for their ambitions, Gandhiji says that with one mean act, they have wiped out all their good deeds. This just shows how difficult it is to judge the morality of man\u2019s action because we cannot penetrate the depths of his mind.<\/p>\n

    Question 2.
    \nWhy does Gandhi say that moral action should be done without compulsion?
    \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. A moral act should be free from fear and compulsion.<\/li>\n
    2. Even rising early out of fear of losing situation will render it non-moral.<\/li>\n
    3. Similarly living a simple life because one doesn\u2019t have the means to live otherwise is not a moral act.<\/li>\n
    4. An employer sympathizing with employees or paying them higher wages for fear that they would leave him is not performing a moral act.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Paragraph: Gandhiji says that a moral act should be free from fear and compulsion. He says that there is no morality whatsoever in a person\u2019s act if he rises early out of the fear that, if he is late to his office, he may lose his situation. Similarly, there is no morality in his living a simple and unpretentious life if he has not the means to live Otherwise.<\/p>\n

      Plain, simple living would be moral if, though wealthy, the person thinks of all the want and misery in the world about him – and feels that he ought to live a plain, simple life and not one of east and luxury.<\/p>\n

      Likewise, it is only selfish and hot moral, of an employer to sympathize with his employees or pay them higher wages lest they leave him. It would be moral if the employer wished well of them and treated them kindly realizing how he owed his prosperity to them.<\/p>\n

              V. Language Activities:<\/p>\n

              A. Paragraph Writing:
              \nA coherent paragraph consists of a topic sentence (TS) – which gives you the main idea of the paragraph. Then there are supporting sentences (SS) that strengthen the topic sentence and a concluding sentence (CS)- which concludes the paragraph on a coherent note.<\/p>\n

              Look at the following paragraph:
              \nGlobal advertising today is the biggest and most sophisticated thought-control project ever undertaken. (TS) Some statistics reveal the true extent of this phenomenon. (SS) Global advertising expenditures according to Benjamin Barber (in his book Jihad versus McWorld, 1996) rose \u201cseven-fold from 1950 to 1990 from a modest $ 39 bn to $256 bn.\u201d (SS) Barber adds that per capita global spending went up from $15 in 1950 to nearly $ 50 in 1996. (SS) One single company, the hamburger giant McDonald, spends more than 1.4 bn dollars each year on advertising. (SS) All these figures are huge indeed and getting bigger all the time. (CS)<\/p>\n

              The opening sentence: Global advertising… is the Topic sentence. This is followed by four Supporting sentences that strengthen the main idea and a Concluding sentence that sums up the paragraph.<\/p>\n

              Arrange the jumbled sentences in a logical sequence and develop them into a coherent paragraph: (Identify the topic sentence and supporting sentences).<\/p>\n

                B. Note Making\/Taking:
                \nNote making\/taking is an important skill. It helps to summarise and record information during reading\/listening. Various methods like linear notes, flow charts, tree diagrams, spidergrams and different types of layouts like tables, lists and diagrams are followed. Given below is an example of note making using a flow chart.<\/p>\n

                M.K. Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869, in the princely state of Porbandar, now part of Gujarat. After matriculation, he went to England to study law in 1888. Having passed his bar examinations, he returned to India in 1891, only to proceed to South Africa where he hoped to do better as a lawyer, than in his own city. The future Mahatma was actually made here in the land of racialism and acquired a new weapon to fight the white oppressor. This was Satyagraha, which subsequently in India, was to be reinforced with truth and non-violence, and with which, he won freedom from the British Empire. Until his assassination in 1948, Gandhiji\u2019s efforts were to wean his contemporaries away from wickedness, and rightly, he remained \u2018the conscience of mankind.<\/p>\n

                Task: Make notes on the following passage using any method of your choice.<\/p>\n

                Louis Pasteur, born in a little French country town, was interested in chemistry when he was very young. After studying hard in Paris and showing great promise, he began to teach and lecture as Professor of Chemistry. He became a-Professor at Strasburg in Allace, and he married a wife who was always to be his closest companion and assistant.<\/p>\n

                Pasteur was deeply interested in all the new experiments that were being made in chemistry and decided to solve some of the difficult problems that were worrying chemists and other scientists. Sometimes he used to sit for hours, quite silent and motionless, thinking hard about one of his difficulties. He found this the easiest way to solve a problem: and when he thought of a solution, his kind, the tired looking face would brighten with pleasure and excitement and he would rush round to tell his discovery to his wife and to others who were helping him.<\/p>\n

                            What is Moral Action Summary in English<\/h3>\n

                            Gandhiji mentions six qualities of an action which qualify it to be called moral and the absence of which make it non-moral.<\/p>\n

                            Many actions are done because they are a part of society\u2019s conventions. Without such behavior, there will be anarchy in society. Such acts are non-moral.<\/p>\n

                            An act to be called moral should spring from our own will. It should not be performed mechanically, without any discrimination or thought.<\/p>\n

                            A good act is not a moral act if the person does not have the intention to do good. Results of our action should be left to God. Alexander, though called Great, was not moral.<\/p>\n

                            There should be no self-interest behind a moral act. Even honesty cannot be practiced as the best policy. It should be the only policy.<\/p>\n

                            An act done for consideration of comfort and personal happiness in another world is non-moral. That action is moral which is done only for the sake of doing good. St. Francis Xavier and St. Theresa has devoted souls who prayed to God because they loved him. Henry Clay and Daniel Webster lived virtuous lives but sacrificed their virtue just once, thereby negating all the good they had done.<\/p>\n

                            Gandhiji concludes that judging the morality of a man\u2019s action is very difficult since we cannot penetrate the depths of his mind.<\/p>\n
