Answer» Solution :(a) The two common type of birth control METHODS which can be followed by Mamta and her husband are : (i) Barrier Methods. In these methods, a condom (nirodh) is used by the husband or a diaphragm (cap) is used by the wife toprevent the meeting of sperms with ovum (or egg) and prevent pregnancy. (ii) Chemical Methods. In these methods, ORAL pills and vaginal pills can be used by the wife. Oral pills contain hormones which stop ovaries from releasing the ovum (or egg) into oviduct. Vaginal pills contain the chemicals called spermicides which kill the sperms. (b) The use of condom (nirodh) is a birth control method which provides ADDITIONAL advantage of protection from sexually transmitted diseases. (c ) The values displayed by Mamta and her husband are : (i) AWARENESS (or knowledge) that various birth control methods are available to prevent pregnancy and limit the size of family. (ii) Concern for the health of woman (because too many pregnancies spoil the health of woman or mother). (iii)Concern for the future of children (because good facilities and best education can be provided only if the numberof children is less). (iv) Responsible CITIZENS (because they do not want to increase country's population too much and put pressure on its limited resources). |
