A nuclear family is such a type which constitutes of husband, wife and their unmarried children. When the children grow up, they get married and form their own families. A new nuclear family gets initiated through this process. From the stem, it could be seen that Obonit lives with her parents and brother. This indicates that her family is a nuclear family. d. Yes, I agree that joint families like Odhora’s family have larger influence in a child’s socialization process. Socialization is such a process that turns a child into a well-functioning social being. A lot of factors influence the socialization process. A joint family is a factors that helps a child learn different behaviors from different members of the family. For instance, a child can learn about religious values and morality from parents, grandparents or from other relatives staying together in a joint family. On the other hand, a child forms interpersonal relationships with the other members of the family. Through these relationships, a child can learn about love, cooperation, tolerance, sympathy and other socially acceptable behaviors. These influence a child’s socialization process.

Presence of family is everywhere and through all ages and times. That’s why family is called the permanent social. c. Ratna‘s behavior was influenced by her nuclear family, A nuclear family is one step behind in influencing the socialization process of a child. As a nuclear family consists of less members, a child doesn’t get a lot of opportunity to mix with the other members. Sometimes, when both the parents are employed, this creates loneliness in a child as the child doesn’t get to spend enough time with the parents. From the stem, it could be seen that, when Ratna’s father was transferred to another place, Ratna had to leave with her parents. Before that, she used to live with her grandparents and other relatives and they had good relationships. But now, when Ratna met Rupa, she wasn’t able to mix with her freely. Though Rupa tries, Ratna avoids her. It shows that as Ratna lives in a nuclear family, she received less opportunity to mix with the other members of her family. This is creating problems for her in mixing with Rupas well. Through this discussion, it could be said that, Ratna’s behavior was due to the improper socialization process caused by the nuclear family structure. d. Yes, I agree with the statement that Rupa’s behavior was influenced by the nature of her family which was a joint family. A joint family is a family where the head of the family together lives with his or her parents, brothers and sister, grandparents and aunts and uncles. This sort of family influences a child’s socialization process. A child learns about religious values, morality cooperation, tolerance, sympathy and sense of security through mixing and building strong relationships with the other members of the family. From the stem, we could see that, though both Rupa and Ratna once lived together with the other members of the family, Ratna had to leave with her parents and Rupa stayed back and continued living with her grandparents and other relatives. Rupa likes to mix with others and everyone love her for that. She wants to help others as well. As Rupa had the opportunity to live with the other members of her family, she had gone through a proper socialization process. This shows that shows that her joint family influenced Rupa’s behavior significantly.

As a resultof sectarianinsm, there is confilet and unease between different sects in the contry. This destroys sectarian harmony and creates sectarian mindset in the society. Violence between people of different religions and sects may arise for this.These reasons create a barrier in becoming agood citizen. c. In the stem, the rickshaw puller dispalays self restraint practiced by a good citizen. Self-restraint is a quality that helps a citizen to abstain from dishonest work.It insprires citizens to abide by the laws and work for the betterment of the country. a self-restrained citizen abides by the rules and regulation, respects others opinions and gives more importance to the country’s welfare instead of his own. He abstains from wrongful activities and party interests and works for the development of the state. a good citizen is successful in abstaining from wrongful activities due to his self restraint. In the stem, we can see that despite finding one lakh taka in his rickshaw the puller does not take it. Rather he finds the passenger’s address and retums it. Here the rickshaw puller dispalys the self restraint of a good citizen. and because of this quality , he has successfully kept himself away from unethical activities. d. No, in order to become a good citizen, the trait displayed by the rickshaw puller, that is self- restraint, is not enough.A citizen must be intelligent and conscientious , as well as self- restrained to become a good citizen. An intelligent citizen is a valuable asset for the state. Besides selecting qualified representatives to run the country skilfully, an intelligent citizen can play an important role in important work of the state. On the other hand, conscientiousness means the knowledge of right and worng and knowledge of duties and responsibilities. Conscience helps people to take the correct decision. Conscience is the ever awake strength of a good citizen. In the stem , we can see that the rickshaw puller is aself restrained citizen. that means, although he possesses the attribute of self restraint, but the attributes of intelligence and consicientiousness is missing. And for this reason, the rickshaw cannot be called an accomplished good citizen.Therefore we can say, only possessing the quality exhibited by the rickshaw puller is not enough. One must exhibit the other two fundamental attributes as well.
a. An intelligent citizen is a state’s most valuable resource. b. Acitizen’s disinterest towars work is called indifference. Indifference in citizenss is created due to many reasons, for example illliteracy, lack educaiton , laxiness, poverty and sisinterest towards work . this typw of mdifference ca be observed in the citizens of our country. because of this indifference, citizens do not want to participate in the stae’s social and political activities. They don’t carry out their responsibilites and duties as a citizen either. This is why indifference is said to be a barrier in becoming a good citizen. c. Both families are enjoying their right to follow own religious rites and festivals independently . Besides enjouing rights provided by the state,all citizens must also carry out their duties and responsiblities towards the stae. all rights, duties and responsibilities are applicable to all the citizens of the country. The mental grwoth of citizens is not possible without theses rights. Therefore it is expected that a citizen will enjoy these rights and allow others to enjoy it too. for example, a citizen will educate himself and encourage and support others to become educated as well . Each ditizen will follow his own religion and will not obtruct others to followtheir respecitve religions etc. We can see that Mr. sobhan and Mr. and Mr. Shekhar are friends. Just like Mr. Sobhan invites Mr. Shekhar and his family during eid and other festivals , Mr. Shekhar also invites Mr. sobhan and his famliy during puja and other festivals. Terefore, we can say that both fmailies, through observing their religious festivals , are enjoying their right to follow their own religion. d.Mr. Sobhan and Mr. Shekhar enjoy their rights and at the same time carry out thier respective duties and responibilities. the statement is discussed in the light of infromation fiven in the textbook— the duites and responsibilites toward the country are applicable to all citizens. The mental development of citizens is not possible without the rights. A citizen will carry out his/her responsibility only when he/she is also enjoying the rights provided by the state. I is the government’s or state’s duty to establish the rights of a citizen. Similarly a citizen must carry out his/her duties and responsibilities toward the state properly in return of enjoying these rights. among these duties and responsibilities are showing allegiance to the country, abiding by the laws , using the right to vote, giving regular taxes, committing all government duties properly, educating one’s children and rendering services to the country. We can see that Mr. Sobhan is a high official in the government. A few days ago, he has carried out his responsibilities properly at a voting center during the election. On the other Mr. Shekhar is a renowned businessman. He received the best tax payer award. Bothe of them are carrying out their duties and responsibilities towards the stated as they enjoy the various rights provided by the state. Hence, we can say that Mr. Sobhan and Mr. Shekhar are carrying out their duties and responsibilities as well as enjoying their rights. N.B.
