Social Science (087) — AI-generated practice question

Indiscriminate exploitation of resources by a few individuals and countries leads to accumulation of resources in few hands, dividing society into 'haves' and 'have nots.' This unequal distribution threatens global peace because it creates extreme inequality, poverty, and conflict over limited resources. If this trend continues, the future of our planet is in danger.

The chapter proposes equitable distribution of resources and advocates Sustainable Development — development that meets present needs without compromising the needs of future generations — as the solution. Resource planning is essential to ensure sustainable existence for all forms of life.

• The examiner wants three clear points: (1) how exploitation creates haves/have-nots, (2) why this threatens peace (inequality/conflict), and (3) the solution (equitable distribution + sustainable development).
• Quote Gandhiji's line if space allows: "There is enough for everybody's need and not for anybody's greed" — it adds value.
• Key terms to use: indiscriminate exploitation, equitable distribution, sustainable development, resource planning. These fetch marks directly.
• Don't just define sustainable development — link it explicitly as the proposed solution.
