Type of Society

Type of Society

Read the following passages and answer the questions given at the end of each:

Today we see a society in which there are tremendous differences between man and man, great riches on one side and great poverty on the other. Some people live in luxury without doing any work, while others work from morning till evening without any rest or leisure and yet have not got the barest necessaries of life. This cannot be right. It is not the fault of that individual who happens to be rich. It is the fault of the system and it is up to us to change this system which permits the exploitation of man by man and produces so much misery. Our country can produce enough to permit every man and woman living in it to live in comfort and peace. Every man and woman must have the opportunity to develop the best of his or her ability.
