Q.  41  Disillusionment with government.            AGREE DISAGREE

        1. Most stores make  good work and do not
        cheat the people

        2. Slowly we come under the government's
        control,they will tell us what to do.

        3. Most members of parliament care only for
        themselves and they do not care for the
        people,they do not bother about them.

        4. I do not believe too much in what the 
        government tells.  
 
        5. A small group of powerful people 
        controls the government

        6. There's little use writing letters to 
        the district officer or to other public
        officials because they do not care about us.

        7. Public officials work for all people, 
        their work cannot be just for themselves.

        8. Our government uses a lot of money, but
        its work is not worth this money.

        9. In my opinion, this country is sick.
