I.45-49) The capitalist system of society does not foster healthy relations among human beings. A few people own all the means of production and others-though nominally few have to sell their labour under conditions imposed upon them. The emphasis of capitalism being on the supreme importance of material wealth the intensity of its appeal is to the acquisitive intensity. It promotes worship of economic power with little regard to the means employed for its acquisition and the end that it serves. By its exploitation of human beings to the limits of endurance its concentration is on the largest profit rather than maximum production.

Thus the division of human family is done on the basis of economic circumstances. All this is injurious to division of human dignity. And when the harrowed poor turn to the founders of religion for succour, they rather offer a subtle defence of the established order. They promise future happiness for their present suffering and conjure up visions of paradise to redress the balance to soothe the suffering and the revolt of the tortured men. The system imposes injustice, the religion justifies it.

Q.45) The maximum control over the means of production is under-

[1] All the stake holders

[2] Proletarial class

[3] Owners of the system

[4] Working class

Correct Answer: 3

Q.46) In a capitalist system,

[1] the ends justify the means

[2] the means justify the ends

[3] the means leading to exploitation are strictly prohibited

[4] the religion decides the issue related to the means

Correct Answer: 1
