25. In modern democracies, power sharing arrangement can take many forms. Power is shared among different organs of government, such as the legislature, executive and judiciary. Let us call this horizontal distributionof power because it allows different organs of government based that seem level to exercise different powers. Search a separation and sure that none of the organs can exercise unlimited power. Each organ checks the other . This result in a balance of power among various institutions in democracy, what even do ministers and government officials exercise powers, they are responsible to the Parliament or State assemblies. Similarly, although judges are appointed by the executive, they can check the functioning of executive or laws made by the legislatures. This arrangement is called a system of checks and balances. Power can be shared among governments at different levels ,a general government for the entire country and government at the provincial or regional level. Search a general government for the entire country is usually called Federal government. In India, we refer to it as the central or union government. The government at the provincial or regional level are called by different name in different countries. In India , we call them state governments.
Power may also be shared among different social groups such as the religious and linguistic groups. 'Community government' in Belgium is a good example of this arrangement.in some countries there are constitutional and legal arrangement where was socially weaker sections and women are represented in the legislatures and administration. Power sharing arrangements can also be seen in the way political parties, pressure groups and movements control or influence those in power.

26. Suppose for the present that a particular country is quite developed.we would certainly like this level of development to go of father or at least be maintained for further generation. This is obviously desirable. However, change the second half of the 20 century , a number of scientists have been warning that the present type , and levels of development and not sustainable.
Groundwater is an example of renewable resources. These resources are replenished by nature as in the case of crops and plants. However, even these resources may be overused.for example in the case of groundwater, if we use more than what is being replenished by rain then we would be over using this resources.
Non renewable resources are those which will get exhausted after years of use. We have fixed the stock on earth which cannot be replenished. We have fixed stock on earth which cannot be replenished we discover new resources that we did not know of earlier. New sources in this way add to the stock. However, over time even this will get exhausted. Consequences of environmental degradation do not respect national or state boundaries; this issue is no longer region or nation specific.
Our future is linked together.Sustainability of development is comparatively a new area of knowledge in which scientist, economists ,philosophers and other social scientists are working together. In general, the question of development or progress is perennial.at all times as a member of society and as individuals we need to ask where we want to go, what we wish to become and what are goals are.
