The concept of creative society refers to the phase of development of a society, in which a large number of potential contradictions become articulate and active.
This is most evident when oppressed social groups are politically mobilized and demand their rights. The upsurge of peasants and tribes, the movements for regional autonomy and self-determination, the environmental movements, and the women's movements in the developing countries are signs of the emergence of a creative society in contemporary times.
The forms of social movements and their intensity may vary from country to country and from place to place within a country, but the very presence of movements for social transformation in various spheres of a society indicates the emergence of a creative society in a country.
What does the author imply by creative society? Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
The author implies statements 3 and 4, so that is the answer.
A creative society is one in which a large number of contradictions become articulate, which is statement three.
It is also one where the oppressed grow conscious of their rights and seek upliftment, which is statement four.
Statement one takes creative in its literal, artistic sense, which does not fit this context.
Statement two contradicts the passage, which speaks of the oppressed demanding their rights, not accepting inequality.
So only statements 3 and 4 capture the author's meaning.
