Read the following passage carefully and mark out the correct answers from the alternatives given below each question :
Discipline is the watch word of a proper social life. Men living in a society need to follow certain rules which may help in smooth functioning of the social set up and this following of the rules is called discipline.
The institution or organisation which follows its rules is called disciplined institution. Those who are members of such an institution or organisation also feel a sense of satisfaction and pride that they belong to a disciplined body. But to be disciplined means to adjust to curtailment of certain liberties on order to accomodate the liberty of other members.
We,as social beings, have our liberties but have to keep our liberties under control and limits so that the liberty of others is not disturbed. A. G. Gardiner has rightly said, Liberty is not a personal affairs. While moving on the road, we have to follow the signals at the crossing, if we violate them the accidents are bound to occur.
Even in personal life a disciplined routine keeps us healthy but, if we become reckless in our ways of life, we shall end in distress and disease. Therefore being a social man we have to follow the rules, the violation of which will bring chaos and confusion.
