Ok now U have done the current scenario portion of the essay..I forgot 2 tell u ppl a very basic thing..U dont make any headings in the essay..the headings M using are just a guideline..these are 'imaginary headings' that u divide ur essay into..but in outline,u must give these headings so dat the examiner wud knw abt the logical flow n sequence of ur essay..
The next thing that u shud the 'Causes' and 'effects' of the thing discussed..if its an essay that emphasizez or is based more on 'description' then this shud be the body of ur essay..the causes wud preceede the effects,abd shud be detailed as followings:
1.Economic causes
2.Political causes
3.Ideological causes
4.Social causes
5.Technological causes
and so on.....

The effects shud be written in the same sequence too..it wubbe gud if u make short paragraphs for each of the above causes n effects,as the examiner cud then follow the essay wid ur logical outline..
after writing abt the causes n effects of the issue/problem/topic,Ull move on to the "Remedies and Recommendations" portion..here u wud write in detail about the remedies or solutions to a certain problem,and ur recommendations for solving/mitigating it..these shud be backed up with proper argument and reasoning,as an essay requires not only enlisting things,but critically analyzing and presenting them in an 'essay; rather than a mere 'pointer' form...if the essay is of the nature that it demands emphasis on remedies and recommendatnz,then naturally u shud stress upon n elongate this portion of the essay..it all dependz on the requirement of a particular essay..
after this,add a small 'prediction' section to ur essay,in which u predict what the future wud be like n wat developments abt a particular issue u envision..again,these shudnt be fanciful,,rather they shud be realistic..
And finally comes the conclusion..here u re-emphasize ur thesis statement and summarize ur arguments,and try to get a result out of them..Important tip:Always try ending ur essay on a positive and optimistic note,giving a bright view of the future..try not to sound pessimistic,as I was told dat this approach is discouraged in CSS..Ur essay shud seem result oriented,and not merely a haphazard discussion and a jumble of arguments..

REMEMBER:
Writing an essay is like cooking a delicacy..u have to add all the necesary ingredients at proper times in proper amounts,cook it up slowly,get it to the climax,and then garnish it n give it the finishing touches:ready to be served!The outline and first paragraph will tell the examiner if it smells nice..n as we know,first impression is often the last..

So here is how the general Outline of Ur essay,and the general sequence n flow of it will simply look like:

1.Introduction to the topic
2.Definition of the topic
3.Background n History
4.Current Scenario
5.Related problems and issues
6.Causes
7.Effects
8.Remedies and Recommendations
9.Prediction and forecast
10.Conclusion
