We learn the following from the stories of Belgium and Sri Lanka:

a. The best way to bring about peace and stability in a society which is characterised by ethnic , linguistic diversity is to share power among the diverse groups, to involve them in the decision making process. Such a power sharing arrangement will mitigate the chances of conflict in the society a sin case of Belgium. Sri lanka on the other witnessed worst form of civil war resulting in killings of thousands.
b. We also learn that power sharing is the very spirit of democracy as it expands democracy to the grass root level making it more inclusive and representative in nature.
c. Power sharing also gives representation and political voice to the minorities and prevents the imposition of majoritarinism policy to sought to  establish the supremacy and dominance of the majority community as in case of Sri Lanka where the interest of Tamil minorities were totally disregarded.
d. Most importantly we learn  that power sharing will ensure justice, fairness, equality in the society by accommodating varied interests.

Income by itself is not a completely adequate indicator of material goods and services that citizens are able to use. Normally, money cannot buy us a pollution-free environment or ensure that we get unadulterated medicines. Money may also not be able to protect you from infectious diseases, unless the whole of your community takes preventive steps.

The coordinate of given points are (3,5).

If a point reflected across the x-axis, then

{tex}(x,y)\rightarrow (x,-y){/tex}

{tex}(3,5)\rightarrow (3,-5){/tex}

Therefore the coordinates of the given point after reflected across the x-axis are (3,-5).

If a point reflected across the y-axis, then

{tex}(x,y)\rightarrow (-x,y){/tex}

{tex}(3,5)\rightarrow (-3,5){/tex}

Therefore the coordinates of the given point after reflected across the x-axis are (-3,5).

The ways in which individuals with a particular trait may increase in population are:

• through natural selection (of variations brought during the course of time)
  by genetic drift (accidental changes in the frequency of some genes in a population)
• by mutation
• by sudden decrease or increase in the availability of food during a period of some generations.

Germany:

After 1848, nationalism in Europe moved away from its association with democracy and revolution. Nationalist sentiments were often mobilised by conservatives for promoting state power and achieving political domination over Europe. This can be observed in the process by which Germany and Italy came to be unified as nation-states. As you have seen, nationalist feelings were widespread among middle-class Germans, who in 1848 tried to unite the different regions of the German confederation into a nation-state governed by an elected parliament. This liberal initiative to nation-building was, however, repressed by the combined forces of the monarchy and the military, supported by the large landowners (called Junkers) of Prussia. From then on, Prussia took on the leadership of the movement for national unification. Its chief minister, Otto von Bismarck, was the architect of this process carried out with the help of the Prussian army and bureaucracy. Three wars over seven years – with Austria, Denmark and France – ended in Prussian victory and completed the process of unification. In January 1871, the Prussian king, William I, was proclaimed German Emperor in a ceremony held at Versailles.

On the bitterly cold morning of 18 January 1871, an assembly comprising the princes of the German states, representatives of the army, important Prussian ministers including the chief minister Otto von Bismarck gathered in the unheated Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles  to proclaim the new German Empire headed by Kaiser William I of Prussia. The nation-building process in Germany had demonstrated the dominance of Prussian state power. The new state placed a strong emphasis on modernising the currency, banking, legal and judicial systems in Germany. Prussian measures and practices often became a model for the rest of Germany.

Italy:
 

Like Germany, Italy too had a long history of political fragmentation. Italians were scattered over several dynastic states as well as the multi-national Habsburg Empire. During the middle of the nineteenth century, Italy was divided into seven states, of which only one, Sardinia-Piedmont, was ruled by an Italian princely house. The north was under Austrian Habsburgs, the centre was ruled by the Pope and the southern regions were under the domination of the Bourbon kings of Spain. Even the Italian language had not acquired one common form and still had many regional and local variations.

During the 1830s, Giuseppe Mazzini had sought to put together a coherent programme for a unitary Italian Republic. He had also formed a secret society called Young Italy for the dissemination of his goals. The failure of revolutionary uprisings both in 1831 and 1848 meant that the mantle now fell on Sardinia-Piedmont under its ruler King Victor Emmanuel II to unify the Italian states through war. In the eyes of the ruling elites of this region, a unified Italy offered them the possibility of economic development and political dominance.

Chief Minister Cavour who led the movement to unify the regions of Italy was neither a revolutionary nor a democrat. Like many other wealthy and educated members of the Italian elite, he spoke French much better than he did Italian. Through a tactful diplomatic alliance with France engineered by Cavour, Sardinia-Piedmont succeeded in defeating the Austrian forces in 1859. Apart from regular troops, a large number of armed volunteers under the leadership of Giuseppe Garibaldi joined the fray. In 1860, they marched into South Italy and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and succeeded in winning the support of the local peasants in order to drive out the Spanish rulers. In 1861 Victor Emmanuel II was proclaimed king of united Italy. However, much of the Italian population, among whom rates of illiteracy were very high, remained blissfully unaware of liberalnationalist ideology. The peasant masses who had supported Garibaldi in southern Italy had never heard of Italia, and believed that ‘La Talia’ was Victor Emmanuel’s wife!

Current is movement of charged ions and electricity is conducted in water from one place to the other by the movement of ions. Since there are no free ions in a covalent compound, they don't conduct electricity.

The poem conveys the message that children need to be allowed more liberty. Excessive nagging makes them defiant and they turn a deaf ear to the instructions of the elders. They develop a kind of dislike for real life and start escaping into the world of dreams and imagination .

In fact ,the poem indirectly emphasis the need of a healthy bond between parents and children . Parents should understand the psychology of children , who in turn, should be respectful and responsible to their parents
