Answer» Context: Inventing new things like Newton and James Watt is also being civilized. Invention of new things requires thinking. But thinking must be free. Explanation: Prof. Joad says that in school, students are beastly to new girls who are a bit different from others, so the grown-up people dislike those who try to think or act differently. Free thinking is utmost necessary. Free thinking means thinking differently. If we stick to the tradition, we cannot think freely. People are opposed to free thinking. They like conventional thinking. There is always a great resistance to new thoughts. So it is not easy to think freely. But free thinking is very important. It is necessary for civilization. Without it civilization cannot progress and develop. |
