Directions (Q. Nos. 16-22) Read the following passage and answer the given questions.
After the Second World War, the leaders of the Western world tried to build institutions to prevent the conflicts of the preceding decades from recurring. They wanted to foster both prosperity and inter dependence, to ‘make war not only unthinkable, but materially impossible’. Their work bore fruit, Expanded global trade was raised incomes around the world. While globalization is sometimes portrayed as a corporate plot against the workers; that was not how it was seen before 1914. British Trade Unions were in favour of free trade, which kept down food prices for their members and also opened up markets for the factories in which they worked. Yet, as the Brexit vote demonstrates globalization now seems to be receding. Most economists have been blindsided by the backslash. Free trade can be a hard sell politically. The political economy of trade is treacherous. Its benefits, though substantial, are dilute, but its costs are often concentrated. This gives those affected a strong incentive to pus h for protectionism. Globalization itself thus seems to create forces that erode political support for integration.
Deeper economic integration required harmonization of laws and regulations across countries. Differences in rules on employment contracts or product safety requirements, for instance, act as barriers to trade. Trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership focus more on ‘non-tariff barriers than they do on tariff reduction. The net impact of this is likely to be that some individuals, consumers and businesses are not likely to be as benefitted as others and given rise to discontent. Thus the consequences of such trade agreements often run counter to popular preferences. Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize winner, has warned that companies influence over trade rules harms workers and erodes support for trade liberalization. Clumsy government efforts to compensate workers hurt by globalization contributed to the global financial crisis, by facilitating excessive household borrowing, among the other things. Researchers have also documented how the cost of America’s growing trade with China has fallen disproportionately on certain. American cities.
Such costs perpetuate a cycle of globalization. Periods of global integration and technological progress generate rising inequality, which inevitably triggers two countervailing forces, one beneficial and one harmful. On the one hand, governments tend to respond to rising inequality by increasing redistribution and investing in education, on the other, inequality leads to political unheaval and war. The first great era of globalization, which ended in 1914, gave way to a long period of declining inequality, in which harmful forces played a bigger rise than beneficial ones. History might repeat itself, he warns. Such warnings do not amount to arguments against globalization. As many economists are quick to note, the benefits of openness are massive. It is increasingly clear, however, that supporters of economic integration underestimated the risks both that big slices of society would feel left behind and that nationalism would continue to provide an alluring alternative. Either error alone might have undercut support for globalization and the relative peace and prosperity, it has brought in combination, they threaten to reverse it.

The sue of technology in education has been present throughout history. Over the last century, schools have modified their (23) to teaching as well as methods that are used to enhance student learning. Chalk and slate were at one time the newest technology. From there, technological changes have gone from film, radio and television to desk-top computers and now into interactive white boards like SMART Technology. The capabilities teachers have with new technology give them the (24) to differentiate lessons for (25) overall learning. Microsoft PowerPoint is one of the most popular technology tools used in any classroom. SMART technologies has integrated the SMART Board Software with PowerPoint, thus combining the newest technology with the most popular S1. This brief description shows that new technology is being implemented in the classroom. Unfortunately, due to (26) costs, the more advanced the new equipment becomes; the less likely schools are willing to (27) it for their classrooms. (28) sufficient funds, it is difficult for schools to obtain technologically advanced classrooms. SMART Technology is the most recent equipment to enter the classroom. In 2002, SMART Boards ranged from $ 999 to $ 1999 and that was for just the board. If a school wanted to better (29), its finance and purchase the rolling floor stand accessory, which makes the technology more accessible to all teachers. It would pay an additional amount of somewhere $ 425 and $ 499. Any school that desires new technology must have the capacity to (30) it. However, even with sufficient funds, a technological integration effort is only as strong as the administrative support behind it.
