Direction (Question no. 46 to 50) : Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the questions given at the end. The Interrelation between population and resources is a difficult subject. For this there seems to be several reasons. First, the two interacting sets of phenomenon (resources and population) come from different universes of discourse. To bring them together in a common frame of reference is not like comparing apples and oranges, which at least are both fruit, but more like comparing, say houses and trees, or horses and bacteria. The category resources itself includes a huge and diverse miscellany of things having little in common. Copper and fresh water, for example, have nothing in common except that both are used by men. Demography itself is a peculiar subject. It has developed analytic tools that can be applied to non human as well as to human entitles - for instance, to telephone poles, rabits, machines and cells. Scholars in the social sciences, however, are not used to dealing with human beings in abstraction from ideas, motives and in general, subjective aspects of behaviour. As a result, the demographer is often regarded in social science circles as a mere provider of statistical facts, while economist, sociologist and social psychologist provide interpretation. It frequently turn out, however, that the best person to interpret the facts is the scholar who produced them in the first place. As things stand, despite the intense public interest in population and resources the subject receives little direct attention from demographers. The reason is not that they regard it as unimportant, but rather that they take its importance for granted. For instance, during the last three decades, a field of study much favoured by demographers has been fertility in the Third World Countries. The most expensive survey ever undertaken - the world fertility survey - was carried out during this period, as were countless other surveys and studies. The reason for this interest is not a pre-occupation with human fertility per se, but rather an unquestioned belief that high fertility is causing too much population growth in the third world, straining limited resources. But demographers have tended to rule themselves out of the direct study of environmental and ecological questions. They feel that mastering the voluminous literature on human demography is hard enough, without trying to cross the barrier separating social from natural sciences. 46.
