Question

Q. 4) Read the passage and do the activities.

1) Write if the following sentences are true or false: (2 M)

a) The stout old lady in the example given was wrong.

b) Sometimes personal liberty has to be curtailed to enjoy social order.

c) The traffic policeman in the example given is not a symbol of liberty but tyranny.

d) If personal liberties are sometimes not curtailed, there could be chaos.

A stout old lady was walking down the middle of a street in Petrograd to the great

confusion of the traffic and with no small peril to herself. It was pointed out to her thet the

payment was theplace for foot-passangers, but she replied: I’m going to walk where I like,

We’ve got liberty now. If did not occure to the dear old lady that if liberty entitled the foot-

passanger to walk down the middle of the road, then the end of such liberty would be

universal chaos. Everybody would be getting in everybody else’s way and nobody would

get anywhere. Individual liberty would have become social anarchy.There is a danger of the world getting liberty-drunk in these days, and we must

remind ourselves of what the rule of the road means . It means that in order that the

liberties of all may be preserved, the liberties of everybody must be curtailed. When the

policeman. Say., at Piccadilly Circus step out into the middle of the road and puts out his

hand before your car, he is the symbiol, not of tyranny but of liberty. You may not think so.

You may feel that your liberty has been outraged. Then if you are a reasonable person, you

will realize that if he did not interfere with you. He would interfere with no one and the result

would be total confusion at Piccadilly Circus. You have submitted to a curtailment of private

liberty in order that you may enjoy a social order which makes your liberty a reality.​
