Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
A 20th Century Killer Disease: Cancer
Better feeding and improved medical services reduce the likelihood of death from transmissible disease but, by enabling people to live longer, create situation in which the tissues of the body have time to degenerate. Thus in situations developed and industrialized communities, the incidences of coronary heart disease and cancer have increased during this century and are most prevalent among the age group 45-65. A century ago, the number of people living through this age range was little more than half of what it is today.
Understanding of the nature and cause of cancer is increasing as more is discovered about the way in which cell division is controlled. Epidemiological studies suggest that there is a relationship between the incidence of certain forms of cancer and chemicals which are thought to induce abnormal cell division. These chemicals that induce cancer are called carcinogens.
Thus, the tars that are distilled out of burning tobacco and inhaled during smoking are associated with a higher incidence of lung cancer in heavy smokers than in on-smokers, and also with cancer of the digestive tract and bladder. This is not to say that non-smokers are immune to such cancers, but that they appear to be significantly less likely to develop them. The cancer-producing (carcinogenic) effect of such tars has long since been demonstrated on laboratory animals.
Cancer most commonly occurs in those tissues in which cell division is a normal activity. Such tissues include the skin, where cell division ensures the replacement of cells that are worn by physical contact; the liver, in which cells damaged during the detoxication of poisonous are replaced; and all kinds of epithelium or lining cell such as those lining the stomach and bladder, which are also worn away during normal activity.

What is child abuse?

Most people believe that children are the world's most valuable resource and should be loved and cherished However, because they are dependent on adults for nurturing and can neither look after themselves nor fight for rights, they are often treated badly and abused. A report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1999 claimed that more than 40 million children around the world suffer from abuse and maltreatment.

But things are beginning to change. Did you know that the United Nations has a special Convention on the Rights of the Child and that Article 19and Article 34 of this Convention deal specifically with child abuse?

Child abuse has been defined as 'all forms of physical, and/or emotional treatment or commercial or other exploitation, resulting in actual and potential harm to the child's right to health, survival, development or dignity in the context of a relationship of responsibility, trust or power. It is being increasingly recognized that even children deserve to be treated with dignity and that their freedom should be respected From the year 2000, 20 November is celebrated as the International Day for the Rights of the Child and 19 November is World Day for the prevention of Child Abuse.

Since India is a poor country and we can barely guarantee our children basic health, nutrition and shelter, there is little time and opportunity to think about the rights of children or of their abuse. Also, because of our tradition of giving unquestioning respect to elders, the convention of not letting outsiders know of problems within the family and viewing children as the property of parents, a great deal of child abuse is tolerated in our society. People are neither willing to talk about it nor report it to the police or other authorities Since awareness is he only effective response to silence and denial, taking about this issue this and making as many people as possible aware of it is the only way to deal with this violation of children's rights.

A) i) Define child abuse.

ii) Which day is celebrated as international day for the rights of the child?

iii) Which day is called as world day for the prevention of child abuse?

iv) Explain why the child abuse is tolerated in Indian society.

v) List the ways by which effective response can be created in public about child abuse.
