MAH MBA CET English Test Paper
Passage-I
(Questions nos. 6 to 10)
Faith in progress is deep within our culture. We have been taught to believe that our lives are better than the
lives of those who came before us. The ideology of modern economics suggests that material progress has
yielded enhanced satisfaction and well-being. But much of our confidence about our own well-being comes
from the assumption that our lives are easier than those of earlier generations.
The lives of the so-called primitive peoples are thought to be harsh – their existence dominated by the
‘incessant quest for food’. In fact, primitives did very little work. By contemporary standards we’d have to
judge them very lazy.
The key to understanding why these ‘stone-age people’ failed to act like us- increasing their work effort to
get more things – is that they had limited desires. In the race between wanting and having, they had kept
their wanting low – and, in this way ensured their own kind of satisfaction. They were materially poor by
contemporary standards, but in at least one dimension – time – we have to count them richer.
