Question Paper CBSE, 2019-20)

BALANCING THE SCALES

ArtiEcial intelligence (AI) is making a diaerence to how legal work is done,

but it isn’t the threat it is made out to be. AI is making impressive
progress and shaking up things all over the world today. The assumption
that advancements in technology and artiEcial intelligence will render
any profession defunct is just that, an assumption and a false one. The
only purpose this assumption serves is creating mass panic and hostility
towards embracing technology that is meant to make our lives easier.

Let us understand what this means explicitly for the legal world. The
ambit of AI includes recognizing human speech and objects, making
decisions based on data, and translating languages. Tasks that can be
deEned as ‘search-and-End’ type can be performed by AI.

Introducing AI to this profession will primarily be for the purpose of

automating mundane, tedious tasks that require negligible human
intelligence. The kind of artiEcial intelligence that is employed by
industries in the current scene, when extended to the law will enable
quicker services at a lower price. AI is meant to automate a number of
tasks that take up precious working hours lawyers could be devoted to
tasks that require discerning, empathy, and trust- qualities that cannot
be replicated by even the most sophisticated form of AI. The legal
profession is one of the oldest professions in the world. Thriving over
1000 years; trust, judgement, and diligence are the pillars of this
profession. The most important pillar is the relationship of trust between
a lawyer and clients, which can only be achieved through human
connection and interaction.

While artiEcial intelligence can be useful in scanning and organizing

documents pertaining to a case, it cannot perform higher-level tasks
such as sharp decisionmaking, relationship-building with valuable clients
and writing legal briefs, advising clients, and appearing in court. These
are over and above the realm of computerization.

The smooth proceeding of a case is not possible without sound legal

research. While presenting cases lawyers need to assimilate information
in the form of legal research by referring to a number of relevant cases
to End those that will favour their client’s motion. Lawyers are even
required to thoroughly know the opposing stand and supporting legal
arguments they can expect to prepare a watertight defence strategy. AI,
software that operates on natural language enables electronic discovery

AI utilizes big-data analytics which enables visualization of case data. It

also allows for creation of a map of the cases which were cited in
previous cases and their resulting verdicts, as per the website Towards
Data Science. The probability of a positive outcome of a case can be
predicted by leveraging predictive analytics with machine learning. This
is advantageous to Erms as they can determine the return on
investment in litigation and whether an agreement or arbitration should
be considered.

(a) On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, make

notes on it using headings and subheadings. Use recognizable
abbreviations (wherever necessary- minimum four) and a format

Question Paper CBSE, 2017-18)

1. Colour Therapy is a complementary therapy for which there is

evidence dating back thousands of years to the ancient cultures of Egypt,
China and India. If we deEne it in simple terms, Colour is a light of
varying wavelengths, thus each colour has its own particular wavelength
and energy.

2. Colours contribute to energy. This energy may be motivational and

encouraging. Each of the seven colours of the spectrum are associated
with energy. The energy relating to each of the seven spectrum colours
of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, resonates with the
energy of each of the seven main chakras/energy centres of the body.
Colour therapy can help to re-balance and/or stimulate these energies
by applying the appropriate colour to the body.

3. Red relates to the base chakra, orange the sacral chakra, yellow the
solar plexus chakra, green the heart chakra, blue the throat chakra,
indigo the brow chakra (sometimes referred to as the third eye) and
violet relates to the crown chakra.

4. Colour is absorbed by the eyes, skin, skull, our ‘magnetic energy Eeld’
or aura and the energy of colour aaects us on all levels, that is to say,
physical, spiritual and emotional. Every cell in the body needs light
energy – thus colour energy has widespread eaects on the whole body.
There are many diaerent ways of giving colour, including; Solarised
Water, Light boxes/lamps with colour Elters, colour silks and hands on
healing using colour.

5. Colour therapy can be shown to help on a physical level, which is

perhaps easier to quantify, however there are deeper issues around the
colours on the psychological and spiritual levels. Our wellbeing is not, of
course, purely a physical issue. Fortunately, many more practitioners,
both orthodox and complementary, are now treating patients in a
holistic manner.

6. Colour Therapy is a totally holistic and non-invasive therapy and,

really, colour should be a part of our everyday life, not just something we
experience for an hour or two with a therapist. Colour is all around us
everywhere. This wonderful planet does not contain all the beautiful
colours of the rainbow for no reason. Nothing on this earth is here just
by chance; everything in nature is here for a purpose. Colour is no
exception. All we need to do is to heighten our awareness of the energy
of colour, absorb it and see how it can transform our lives.

Note Making Example 3: . Read the passage and answer the questions
given below: (Sample Question Paper CBSE, 2018-19)

1. There is a clear dichotomy between Jayashankar Prasad’s daily life and

the one that found expression in his literature. In his literary
formulations, Prasad advocated an escape- from personality ideals and
categorically stated: “An artist‟s art, and not his person, is the
touchstone to assess his work . . . it is only after losing his personality
that he emerges in his art as an artist”.

2. In Prasad‟s works – his poems, short stories, novels, dramas etc. –

what emerges is life as shaped in the writer’s inner self by his emotions,
fancies, dreams, reveries . . . His writings are a record not of outer
reality, but of the artist’s inner world. As such, of a proper appreciation
and understanding of his works more emphasis needs to be placed on
the working of his mind, than the events of his dayto-day life.

3. Prasad was born in a renowned family of Varanasi. His grand-father

Shiv RatanSahu, a dealer in high quality perfumed tobacco (snua).
Besides being an astute businessman, he was endowed with a marked
cultural taste. His home was the meeting place of the local poets,
singers, artists, scholars and men of religion. Prasad‟s father Devi Prasad
Sahu carried forward this high tradition of family. Prasad, therefore, had
a chance to study the various phases of human nature in the light of the
business traditions, artistic taste and religious background of his family.

4. When the business had somewhat recovered, Prasad planned the

publication of a literary journal. Prasad started the “Indu”. The inaugural
number appeared in July 1909. By this time Prasad’s notions of literature
had crystallized into a credo. In the Erst issue of Indu, he proclaimed,
“Literature has no Exed aim; it is not a slave to rules; it is a free and all-
embracing genius, gives birth to genuine literature which is subservient
to none. Whatever in the world is true and beautiful is its subject matter.
By dealing with the True and Beautiful it establishes the one and aaects
the full oowering of the others. Its force can be measured by the degree
of pleasure it gives to the reader‟s mind as also by the criticism which is
free of all prejudice”. The words sound like the manifesto of romanticism
in literature.

5. Even while recognizing the social relevance of literature, Prasad

insisted, “The poet is a creator . . . he is not conditioned by his milieu;
rather it is he who moulds it and gives it a new shape; he conjures up a
new world of beauty where the reader for the time being, becomes
oblivious of the outer world and passes his time in an eternal spring
garden where golden lotuses blossom and the air is thick and pollen”.
Thus, the chief aim of literature according to Prasad is to give joy to the
reader and to create a state of bliss in him. Later under the impact of
Shiv Advaitism, this faith of Prasad got further strengthened.

Summary

Jayashankar Prasad- His life

Jayshankar Prasad found expression in literature and created an escape

only after losing his personality. His writings are a record of the writer’s
inner world with more emphasis on mind than body. He was from a
renowned family of Varanasi where home-meetings of poets and singers
would take place. His grandfather was an astute businessman and
therefore Prasad had a chance to study phases of human nature. In July
1909, he started ‘Indu’, in which he proclaimed that literature has no
Exed aim, is free and all embracing genius and gives birth to genuine
literature. He recognised the social relevance of literature as the poet is
the creator who mould it, conjures up a new world and becomes
oblivious to the outer world. The chief aim of literature is to give joy to
the reader and create a state of bliss.

Note Making Example 4: Read the following passage: (Question Paper

CBSE, 2020)

1. How does television aaect our lives? It can be very helpful to people
who carefully choose the shows that they watch. Television can increase
our knowledge of the outside world; there are high quality programmes
that help us understand many Eelds of study, science, medicine, the
diaerent arts and so on. Moreover, television beneEts very old people,
who can’t leave the house, as well as patients in hospitals. It also oaers
non-native speakers the advantage of daily informal language practice.
They can increase their vocabulary and practise listening.

2. On the other hand, there are several serious disadvantages of

television. Of course, it provides us with a pleasant way to relax and
spend our free time, but in some countries people watch television for
an average of six hours or more a day. Many children stare at the TV
screen for more hours a day than they spend on anything else, including
studying and sleeping. It’s clear that TV has a powerful inouence on their
lives and that its inouence is often negative.

3. Recent studies show that after only thirty seconds of television

viewing, a person’s brain ‘relaxes’ the same way that it does just before
the person falls asleep. Another eaect of television on the human brain
is that it seems to cause poor concentration. Children who view a lot of
television can often concentrate on a subject for only Efteen to twenty
minutes. They can pay attention only for the amount of time between
commercials.

4. Another disadvantage is that television often causes people to

become dissatisEed with their own lives. Real life does not seem so
exciting to these people. To many people, television becomes more real
than reality and their own lives seem boring. Also many people get upset
or depressed when they can’t solve problems in real life as quickly as
television actors seem to.

5. Before a child is fourteen years old, he or she views eleven thousand

murders on the TV. He or she begins to believe that there is nothing
strange about Eghts, killings and other kinds of violence. Many studies
show that people become more violent after viewing certain
programmes. They may even do the things that they see in a violent
show.
