Read the following passage and answer the questions below in complete sentences: There are two pillars of the cultural value system loyalty  to  family  and  loyalty  to community. One should not be in isolation to the other, because, successful societies are those which combine both harmoniously. As an Indian, I am proud to be part of a culture which  has deep-rooted family values. We  have tremendous  loyalty to the  family.  We believe: Mathru devo bhava – mother is God, and pithru devo bhava – father is God. This is the essence of Indian values and one of our key strengths. Unfortunately, our attitude towards  family  life  is  not  reflected  in  our  attitude  towards  community  behavior.  The primary difference between the West and us is that, there, people have a much better societal orientation. They care more for the society than we do. Further, they generally sacrifice more for the society than us. This is where we need to learn from the West. In the West,  there  is respect for the public good. For instance,  parks free  of litter, clean streets, public toilets free of graffiti – all these are instances of care for the public good. On the contrary, in India, we keep our houses clean and water our gardens everyday – but, when we go  to a park,  we do not  think twice before littering the place. Another interesting attribute, which we Indians can learn from the West, is their accountability. Irrespective of your position, in the West, you are held accountable for what you do. However, in India, the more ‘important’ you are, the less answerable you are. Dignity of labour is an integral part of the Western value system. In the West, each person is proud about his or her labour that raises honest sweat. On the other hand, in India, we tend to overlook the significance of those who are not in professional jobs
