Skilled Craftsmen, particularly those who worked with
gold, silver, cotton textiles, tropical bird feathers and
other items destined for consumption by the elite, enjoyed
considerable prestige in Mexican society. Merchants
specializing in long distance trade occupied an important
but somewhat more tenuous position in Mexican society.
Merchants supplied the exotic products such as gems,
animal skins and tropical bird feathers consumed by the
elites and provided political and military intelligence
about the lands they visited. Yet they often fell under
suspicion as greedy profiteers and aristocratic warriors
frequently extorted wealth and goods from merchants
who lacked powerful patrons or protectors.

(1 × 5 = 5)
Unemployment problem is the chief evil of society. It kills
the mind and spirit of the youth. The main cause of this
is the over population. In our country hands are more
while work is less. Introduction of computers worsens the
situation. A computer works the work of many men. So
many are rendered jobless. Another reason is the
mushroom growth of self-financing colleges. These
colleges send out thousands of graduates every year.
They have but to join the crowd of the jobless. The result
of this problem is the growth of extremism in the global
level. The growth of fans assns (for cine actors in TN) is
due too this factor, the jobless youth are lured by antisocial elements. Their offer of large sum of money
attracts them easily. Their poverty and frustration make
them an easy prey to evil acts. So to curb the extremism
the government should find ways and means for
employing the youth.
The youngsters are partly responsible for this. As a
graduate he is ashamed of manual labour. He
particularly waits for a white-collar job. He is not
interested in self employment scheme. Even an engineer
does not start a workshop. Instead he seeks a job abroad.
So the mentality of the youth should change first. They
should realize no work is inferior. Only then this problem
will be solved.
