Chapter-wise introduction of NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Civics – Social and Political Life

Chapter-1 On Equality

This chapter will discuss equality in terms of vote, dignity, democracy, and other qualities. We will also learn what they are, why are they necessary in a democracy, and whether or not everyone is equal in India. Apart from that, after reading this chapter, you will be able to answer for what are the challenges to democracy? Why is the idea of a universal adult franchise based on the idea of equality?

Chapter-2 Role of Government in Health

In this chapter, We will discuss and try to understand 'health' as an important issue for people. There are both public and private aspects of health provisioning. However, Healthcare in India is not available to all. What are the health services provided by the government and India's private sector? This chapter will also explain the equality in accessing healthcare services, the cost of healthcare, and what can be done to improve health services in India?

Chapter-3 How the State Government Works

In this chapter, we examine the work of the government at the state level. How does this take place in a democracy? What is the role of a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) and Ministers? Ho do people express their views or demand action from the government? In this chapter, we will also discuss who is the most powerful person?”, “Why can’t the MLA solve the problem? Moreover, who is responsible for running various government departments or ministries in the state?

Chapter-4 Growing up as Boys and Girls

In this chapter, we use two case studies of different places and points in time to show how girls and boys are brought up or socialised differently to understand that socialisation is not uniform; instead, it is socially determined and changes continuously over time. The chapter also addresses the fact that societies assign different values to the roles men and women play and their work, which becomes a basis for inequality and discrimination. Through a storyboard, students discuss the issue of housework. Done primarily by women, housework is often not considered ‘work’ and, therefore, made invisible and devalued.

Chapter-5 Women Change The World

In this chapter, we will look at work outside the home and understand how some occupations are seen to be more suitable for men than for women. We will also learn about how women struggle for equality. Getting an education was and still is one way in which new opportunities were created for women. This chapter will also briefly trace the different types of efforts made by the women’s movement to challenge discrimination in more recent years.

Chapter-6 Understanding Media

This chapter foregrounds the widespread effects of the media and attempts to connect the issues under discussion to the learners’ own lives. At the end of the chapter, we expect the learner to recognise the role of big business in the media coverage of events — the way ‘news’ is selected for coverage and the explicit/ implicit dimensions of that coverage. Finally, this chapter concludes by linking its contents to the idea of democracy.

Chapter-7 Market Around Us

This chapter discusses ‘Markets Around Us’. At one level, we study different market sites: a weekly market, neighbourhood shops, a shopping complex, etc. At another level, we explore the intricate question, ‘how do goods reach these markets?’ Finally, we examine how a chain of markets operates and the role of wholesale markets within this through a wholesale vegetable market case study.

Chapter-8 A Shirt In the Market

This chapter tells us the story of a shirt! It begins with the production of cotton and ends with the sale of the shirt. We shall see that a chain of markets links the producer of cotton to the buyer of the shirt in the supermarket. Buying and selling take place at every step in the chain. Does everyone benefit equally from this? Or do some people benefit more than others?

Chapter-9 Struggle For Equality
