Student respnses may include: Pakistan has the wrld s secnd largest Muslim ppulatin (after Indnesia) and Bhutt herself is Muslim, s Bhutt s appeals t Islamic values will be imprtant t her audience s sense f what is right and wrng. Bhutt cmes frm a plitical family in Pakistan: Her father was executed as a result f a military cup and she herself served twice as prime minister f Pakistan, s she is a respected plitical figure. In 1999, Pervez Musharraf led a bldless cup and became head f state frm 1999 t 2008, s Bhutt was nt in pwer at the time f this speech. Pakistan cntinued t suffer frm plitical unrest and Benazir Bhutt was assassinated in a military cup in December 2007 during a campaign tur.

Bth paragraphs 3 and 11 suggest that the rle f the gvernment is critical in prviding citizens with the tls and resurces they need t succeed in mdern sciety. Fr example, in paragraph 3, Bhutt claims that the the quality f ur sciety and the future f ur peple depends n the investment in an individual, thrugh educatin and health, suggesting that Pakistan s gvernment shuld supprt health and educatin services fr its citizens. In paragraph 11, Bhutt claims, What kind f future we... build depends n the nature f ur plitical system, the strength f ur judiciary and the use f ur ecnmic resurces. This claim suggests that Pakistan shuld imprve its gvernment structures t imprve the lives f its citizens. Which areas des Bhutt identify as key t Pakistan s future in paragraph 11? Bhutt claims that the plitical, judiciary, and ecnmic systems are key t Pakistan s future. She says, What kind f future we build depends n the nature f ur plitical system, the strength f ur judiciary and the use f ur ecnmic resurces. Hw des Bhutt supprt her criticism f the military in paragraphs 12 23? Student respnses shuld include: http://creativecmmns.rg/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/! 7
In paragraphs 12 23, Bhutt demnstrates hw the military has failed each f the systems she named in paragraph 11: plitical, judiciary, and ecnmic. In paragraphs 12 14, Bhutt suggests that Pakistan must use the upcming electins t chse a frm f gvernment ther than the military dictatrship in rder t invest in individuals, arguing in paragraph 14 that many f Pakistan s prblems are directly related t the prlnged perid f military dminatin f ur sciety. In paragraphs 15 and 16, Bhutt explains hw the military has interfered with Pakistan s judiciary system, claiming that justice in ur cuntry is elusive (par. 15) and that justice has systematically been undermined by the military rule (par. 16). Bhutt pints t the way in which military rule has influenced the curt system by remving Chief Justices, including the remval f the Chief Justice Yaqub in 1977 and anther remval f a Chief Justice in 2007 (par. 16). In paragraphs 17 23, Bhutt explains hw the military gvernment has mismanaged the ecnmy by relying n external aid in return fr Western supprt fr military rulers (par. 17). This, accrding t Bhutt, has created a sciety addicted t aid (par. 21), nting, hwever, that the mney has nt imprved the lives r ur peple (par. 22). In paragraph 22, Bhutt uses statistics, reprting that the military gvernment received nearly $5 Billin in aid ver the last six years and that [a]n extra $100 Millin are given mnthly in calitin funds (par. 22). She als reprts, in paragraph 23, that nly 25% ($3.4 Billin) f the aid that the U.S. gave t Pakistan between 1954 and 2002 went t civilian gvernments ver 19 years; the rest went t military rulers. Differentiatin Cnsideratin: If students struggle, cnsider psing the fllwing scafflding questins: Hw des Bhutt develp her criticism f the plitical system in paragraph 14? Bhutt claims Pakistan s plitical system is manipulated by the military gvernment. Bhutt says military rule is respnsible fr many f the prblems in Pakistan. She ntes that Pakistan has been under military rule fr 30 years and says military rule is t blame fr the prblems f terrrism, sectarianism, militancy, extremism, intlerance and increase in pverty. What criticism des Bhutt make f military rule in relatin t the justice system? Bhutt says military rule has made justice elusive (par. 15) because the military gvernment cntrls the judges. She says justice has systematically been undermined and pints t hw military rule has influenced the curt system by http://creativecmmns.rg/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/! 8
remving Chief Justices, including the remval f the Chief Justice Yaqub in 1977 and anther remval f a Chief Justice in 2007 (par. 16). What criticisms des Bhutt make f the military dictatrship s ecnmic apprach in paragraphs 18 23? Student respnses shuld include: Bhutt criticizes the military gvernment s ecnmic apprach because the gvernment relies n rent[ing] ut the army s services fr freign causes, including cmmunism and terrrism (par. 18). Bhutt criticizes the military gvernment s ecnmic apprach because the gvernment gets cvert funds and military and ecnmic assistance fr supprting plicies that prmte cnflict. She says, Since a crisis r a threat brings with it plitical pwer fr the Generals there is little incentive t build peace in place f cnflict, restre security in place f crisis r allw the empwerment f the peple in place f subjugating them thrugh militias r abuse f state pwer (par. 18). Bhutt criticizes the military gvernment s ecnmic apprach because it has resulted in Pakistan s becming addicted t aid, in the wrds f a frmer Pakistan Air Frce Chief (par. 21). Bhutt claims that the gvernment depends n mney frm freign gvernments in exchange fr supprt frm the military and that this has becme the main surce f incme fr the cuntry. Bhutt criticizes the military gvernment s ecnmic apprach by citing statistics t demnstrate that the military gvernment, nt the peple, benefit frm the large amunt f mney Pakistan receives in freign aid. She says f the $12.6 Billin Washingtn prvided in ecnmic and military aid ver the last 25 years, 75% ($9.19 Billin) went t military rulers while nly 25% ($3.4 Billin) [went] t civilian gvernments (par. 23). In paragraph 18, hw des Bhutt suggest that the military gvernment maintains its psitin? Student respnses shuld include: The gvernment maintains its psitin by accepting mney in exchange fr supprting freign military effrts. Bhutt states that Pakistan rents the army s services fr fighting varius causes like Cmmunism r Terrrism. The gvernment maintains its psitin by cntrlling the peple with military strength and an unfair plitical system. Bhutt claims the gvernment refuses t http://creativecmmns.rg/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/! 9
allw the empwerment f the peple in place f subjugating them thrugh militias r abuse f state pwer. Explain that the term exercise f pwer refers t the means by which an individual r institutin cntrls thers. In paragraph 18, what kind f relatinship des Bhutt suggest that the military gvernment has with its citizens? Bhutt suggests that the military has a negative relatinship with its citizens, and represses individuals rather than develping them. She claims that the gvernment prevents empwerment f the peple and instead subjugate[s] them thrugh militias r abuse f state pwer. Accrding t Bhutt, the military gvernment makes plicy decisins designed t benefit the leadership rather than the peple, because expliting a crisis r a threat brings with it plitical pwer fr the Generals with the result that the military gvernment des nt build peace restre security r allw the empwerment f the peple. Cnsider explaining t students that the phrase the relatinship between the individual and the state expresses the cmplex links between a gvernment and its citizens, including the respnsibilities a gvernment has tward its citizens and the respnsibilities a citizen has tward his r her gvernment. Differentiatin Cnsideratin: If students struggle, cnsider psing the fllwing scafflding questin: What can yu infer abut the meaning f the wrd state frm Bhutt s criticism f the gvernment s abuse f state pwer in paragraph 18? (L.11-12.4.a) The phrase abuse f state pwer refers t the gvernment s misuse f its pwer. This suggests that the wrd state means a gvernment r plitically rganized sciety having a particular character. Hw des Bhutt's criticism f military rule develp a central idea? Student respnses may include: Bhutt s criticism f military rule develps the central idea f the relatinship between the individual and the state. Bhutt s bservatin that Pakistan s military gvernment brings plitical pwer fr the Generals suggests that Pakistan s plicies disregard the gd f the peple in rder t benefit the military leaders (par. 18). These plicies cntrast with the ideals Bhutt set frth in paragraphs 1 3, where Bhutt explains the need t invest in an individual, thrugh educatin and health (par. 3) in rder t prvide a secure future. Bhutt s criticism f http://creativecmmns.rg/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/! 10
military rule suggests that a state in which the individual is nt imprtant will benefit nly the military leadership, nt the rdinary citizens f a natin. Bhutt s criticism f military rule develps the central idea f the exercise f pwer by demnstrating the dangers f exercising pwer thrugh military strength. In paragraph 2, Bhutt claims that [w]hile military strength cntinued t be imprtant, it was n lnger critical in defining the greatness f a natin at the beginning f the 21st century. Bhutt s criticism f military rule develps this idea by shwing that the military gvernment is respnsible fr the prblems f terrrism, sectarianism, militancy, extremism, intlerance and increase in pverty (par. 14) and that [i]t has nt imprved the lives f ur peple (par. 22). Bhutt s criticism suggests that Pakistan shuld chse a gvernment that exercises pwer by investing in individuals rather than in the military. Based n Bhutt s statement in paragraph 13, what can yu infer abut the purpse f her speech? In paragraph 13, Bhutt says that Pakistan is heading twards parliamentary and pssibly presidential electins, s her purpse fr this speech may be t gain supprt fr a campaign in these electins. Lead a brief whle-class discussin f student respnses. Activity 4: Quick Write 10% Instruct students t respnd briefly in writing t the fllwing prmpt: Hw d the ideas and events Bhutt discusses in paragraphs 11 23 develp a central idea frm paragraphs 1 3?
