Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow:

Man's growth from barbarism into civilization is supposed to be the theme of history. But sometimes, looking at great stretches of history, it is difficult to believe that this ideal has made such progress or that we are very much civilized or advanced. There is enough of want of co-operation today, of one country or people selfishly attacking or oppressing another, of one man exploiting another.

It is well to remember that man in many ways has not made very great progress from other animals. It may be that in certain ways some animals are superior to him. Still we look down upon the insects as almost the lowest of living things, and yet the tiny bees and ants have learn the art of co-operation and of sacrifice for the good of society are the test of civilization, we may say that the bees and ants are in this respect superior to man. In one of our old Sanskrit books there is a verse which can be translated as follows: "For the family, sacrifice the individual, for the community, the family, for the country, the community, and for the soul, the whole world." What the soul is few of us can know or tell, and each on of us can interpret it in a different way. But the lesson this Sanskrit verse teaches us in the same lesson of co-operation and sacrifice for the larger good. We in India had forgotten this sovereign path to real greatness for a long time, we had so fallen. But gain we seem to have glimpses of it and all the country is astir. How wonderful it is to see men and women, and boys and girls. smilingly going ahead in India's cause without caring about any pain or suffering? Well may they smile and be glad for the joy of serving a great cause which is theirs; and for those who are fortunate, comes the joy of sacrifice also.
