Q.6 Read the following passage and
Answer the questions appended to it:
One of the most important emerging issues in Pakistani academia is the debate between the Natural sciences (what we traditionally know as science subjects) and human sciences (social sciences and humanities combined) With the emergence of a narrative that advocates the systematic exclusion of the human sciences from the academia and with the appointment of science faculty as administrators in General category universities. it is obvious that policy makers do not see an active future for the human sciences It is in this light that educationists may view the decline of what is known as a 'reading habit' among students at the university level. while other factors also have a great role to play I believe that the emphasis on Natural sciences as the saviour discipline is the major reason for students' lack of interest in reading history literature and philosophy Reading books is no longer fashionable and a cursory survey of any university classroom attests to the veracity of this claim Young readers who due to their fixation with the smart-phone age, demand quick and easy fixes They would rather google and read short articles than try to access the original source
