Passage Three (13 marks)


Teaching is the process by which a person helps other people learn. It
is one of our most important activities. Teaching helps people gain the
knowledge and attitudes they need to be responsible citizens, earn a living,
and lead a useful, rewarding life. Teaching also provides the fhief means of
passing knowledge on to the next generation. If there were no teachers,
people would have to learn everything by themselves. Few people could
learn enough on their own to get along in the world. The world it self would
change greatly as mankind lost the knowledge, skill, and ideals inherited
from past generations.
Much teaching takes place informally – that is, outside school. In the
home, for example, parents teach their children everyday skills, as well as
values and habits. Businesses and industries often teach their employees

example, the Government of the United States pointed to the British
interference with American shipping and the impressments of American
seamen as reasons for the War of 1812. A cause which was the desire on
the part of some Americans to extend the United States into lands held by
the British and their Spanish allies in North American. This was one of the
important causes of the war, but it was not stated as a reason. The causes
of war may be selfish, base, or even wicked, but the reasons stated are
usually lofty and noble. Both sides in a war may show reasons which they
consider to be valid.
War is not the only kind of struggle in which there may be some right
on both sides. Almost every case that comes to trial before a court has this
same quality. In a suit over property, both sides can usually show a claim
of some sort, he court has to decide which is the better claim. If there were
no court, both persons claiming the property might feel justified in fighting
for it.
In frontier days many Westerners carried guns and settled their
disputes by fighting. Until courts and police forces were established, they
had no other way to settle quarrels in which both sides were party right.
People often joined forces against horse thieves and other “ bad men, ” but
they could not handle quarrels between honest men who disagreed about
their rights.
Today a similar problem exists among nations. The people in any
country are likely to see their won interests more clearly than they can see
the interests of people in another country. People’s own desires seem so
reasonable and so important that the desires of people in another country
are likely to look selfish and unreasonable. Laws and courts can take care
of such disputes within a country, but there has as yet been no effective law
between countries. That is why the use of force to settle a dispute is called
a “ crime ” within a country and a “war” between countries. War can exist
only where there is no effective law.
