'Many sociologists have argued that there is a functional relationship between education and economic system. They point to the fact that mass formal education began in industrial society. They note that the expansion of the economies of industrial societies is accompanied by a corresponding expansion of their educational systems. They explain this correspondence in terms of the needs of industry for skilled and trained manpower, needs which are met by the educational system. Thus, the provision of mass elementary education in Britain in 1870 can be seen as a response to the needs of industry for a literate and numerate workforce at a time when industrial processes were becoming more complex and the demand for technical skills was steadily growing.'

'The casual horrors and real disasters are thrown at the newspaper reader without discrimination. In the contemporary arrangements for circulating the news, an important element, evaluation is always weak and often wanting entirely. There is no point anywhere along the line where someone put his foot down for certain and says, "This is important and that does not amount to row of beans; deserves no one's attention, and should travel the wires no farther". The junk is dressed up to look as meaningful as the real news.'

The assault on the purity of the environment is the price that we pay for many of the benefits of modern technology. For the advantage of automotive transportation we pay a price in smog- induced diseases; for the powerful effects of new insecticides, we pay a price in dwindling wildlife and disturbances in the relation of living things and their surroundings; for nuclear power, we risk the biological hazards of radiation. By increasing agricultural production with fertilizers, we worsen water population. The highly developed nations of the world are not only the immediate beneficiaries of the good that technology can do; they are also the first victims of environmental diseases that technology breeds. In the past, the environmental effects which accompanied technological progress were restricted to a small and relatively short time. The new hazards are neither local nor brief. Air pollution covers vast areas of continents and radioactive fallout from the nuclear explosion is worldwide. Radioactive pollutants now found on the earth surface will be for generations, and in the case of Carbon-14, for thousands of years.

Until the end of his first year at school, Vedant retained many of the pleasures and pursuits he had brought with him from home, and he kept an old interest in butterflies and fossils.

Once or twice he dissected dead birds from sheer determination to overcome his horror of the operation. Probably it was his envy of those physically unlike himself that brought on a phase during which he drew massive athletes with thick necks and square shoulders. Again he was pitying himself for what he could never be

'Pratik a professional man who had worked in an office for many years had a fearful dream. In it, he found himself in a land where small slug- like animals with slimy tentacles lived on people's bodies. T he people tolerated the loathsome creatures because after many years they grew into elephants which then became th e nation's system of transport, carrying everyone wherever he wanted to go. Pratik suddenly realised that he himself w as covered with these things and he woke up screaming.
In a vivid sequence of pictures this dream dramatized for Pratik what he had never been able to put in to words; he saw himself as letting society feed on his body in his early year s so that it would carry him when he retired. He later threw off the "security bug" and took up freelance work.'
