Respond to ONE of the following two questions: 1. Many individuals who log on to popular online social-networking sites, such as Facebook or Snapchat, see these as exciting new forums to express themselves, to encounter new ideas, and to socialize in the brave new world of cyberspace. The only rule on these sites seems to be that there are no rules, and their users seem to like it that way. However, another more ominous side of these new age meeting places has emerged recently. As a result of claims of assault and cyberbullying, many have called for closer regulation of popular computer networking sites and how those sites are made available to young people.

Ravaged by endless waves of oppression, the people of Bengal became withdrawn and timid. Hinduism, our native religion, also took distorted forms. But there are limits to everything. When the oppressions of the Muslims became intolerable, Brahma, the Lord of the Universe, provided a means of escape. The resumption of Bengal’s good fortune began on the day the British flag was first planted on this land. Tell me, if Muslim rule had continued, what would the condition of this country have been today? It must be loudly declared that it is to bless us that the Lord Brahma has brought the English to this country. British rule has ended the atrocities of Muslim rule. There can be no comparison between the two: the difference seems to be greater than that between darkness and light or between misery and bliss.” Bholanath Chakravarti, Bengali religious scholar, lecture at a meeting of a Hindu reformist society, Kolkata, India, 1876 The arguments expressed in the passage are significant because they help explain why
