1. "..There will always be conflicts and disagreements in human society, and dialogue is the appropriate, effective and realistic method of truly resolving them." Do you agree ? Justify.
2.
Diversity is essential fact of human existence.It cannot be suppressed or denied. Hence diversity must be accommodated and dialogue is the most civilized way forward.
Dialogue is most appropriate because it avoids violence.Dialogue is most realistic because it gives everyone a chance of being involved and hence chances of survival multiply.For ex Indian constitution is a product of many ideas of India.Indian constitution survived unlike most others in south Asia precisely because it wasn’t imposed on any one.
Dialogue is most effective because it calls forth varied opinions and facts.Thus there is an element of balance.
Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen notes that secret of India’s survival despite such diversity is in strong tradition of public debate and plural intellectual traditions(The argumentative Indian).
Whenever doors of dialogue have been closed ethnic clashes and insurgency has raised its ugly head.




how do you guys manage to think as well as write within time

1. "..There will always be conflicts and disagreements in human society, and dialogue is the appropriate, effective and realistic method of truly resolving them." Do you agree ? Justify.

Man is a social animal. And in any social interaction, conflicts are bound to occur.
Power, domination, dialogues are some methods of conflict resolution. But for a civilized society, constructive dialogue is most appropriate.

At the global level, due to the concept of sovereign countries, only bilateral or multilateral dialogues are effective means of conflict resolution. Use of power & domination has historical consequences in the form of world wars.
In recent history, Iran & P5 + 1 nuclear deal is testimony of constructive dialogue for conflict resolution. Whereas the syrian crisis is example of the opposite.

At national level, considering Indian federal structure, forums like inter-state council, zonal council are effective dialogue plateforms. And resort to Art.356 i.e. President's rule often weakens cooperative federalism.

At local level also, involving communities through dialogue in the decision making results in better policies.

Therefore, dialogue may seems as a slow process but in the long term it leads to effective results.


Please review..............

Examples are very appropriate
Given u hv mentioned world war can mention ww 1 paved way for ww2 -violence never ending circle-thus domination does not truly resolve issues only temporary peace
overall nice if written within time.

Pablo Escobar

Upholding right to choose, the Supreme Court recently allowed a woman to abort her over 20-week-old foetus with severe abnormalities. In light of this, bring forward the ethical questions of abortion from a standpoint of view of the mother, unborn child, doctor and the state. Should there be termination of pregnancy beyond the permissible limit under MTP Act?

Upholding right to choose, the Supreme Court recently allowed a woman to abort her over 20-week-old foetus with severe abnormalities. In light of this, bring forward the ethical questions of abortion from a standpoint of view of the mother, unborn child, doctor and the state. Should there be termination of pregnancy beyond the permissible limit under MTP Act?

The issue lies at inter junction of human rights,morality and religion.
Ethical issues
1)Right to bodily autonomy-of the mother.Hence abortion has been a key issue in feminist debates.
2)Right to choice-its important given motherhood poses physical psychological and economic responsibilities for the mother
3)Right to life-of the unborn
4)religious angle-abortion i.e deliberate end to a life is shunned upon in some religions
5)Legal angle-given high prevalence of female foeticide it needs to be ensured rights under the act are not abused
6)Limits of state control-as is obvious this is an intimate matter for the women.limits of state control which don’t hamper liberty of individual are questionable
7)medical ethics and professionalism as both the woman and courts rely on judgement of the doctors

As a general rule only abortions within legal limits (20 weeks) should be allowed.Law ,medical profession and Ethics concur here.This is essential for women empowerment as well as avoiding abuse
However exceptional circumstances demand exceptional actions,as in this case.
Reasons could be foetal abnormalities or in case of rape victims and delay in approaching courts as had happened in Uttar Pradesh last year.Simply because laws need to be woven around people and not vice versa.
Establishing motive and absence of mal intentions should be key to deciding if exception can be made.
