Salam,

Sometime ago I asked about using headings in essays. I was strongly advised against it. But I am having some confusion now. Please tell me what is the best way to write the following, in heading form or in paragraph form:



Corruption has numerous facets and types, some of which are:-
a. Extortion: This is one of the ugliest forms of corruption, in which innocent
people are forced to pay for none of their faults;
b. Abuse of Public Office: Such as using the advantages of a tax audit or
legal sanctions to extract personal favours;
c. Bribery: It takes two to bread corruption: giving and taking bribes;
d. Graft: Graft is the act of a public office holder personally benefiting from
public funds in a way other than prescribed by law;
e. Campaign Contributions and Soft Money: In the political arena, it is
difficult to prove corruption, but impossible to prove its absence. Politicians
are placed in apparently compromising positions because of their need to
solicit financial contributions for their campaigns. Often, they appear to be
acting in the interests of those parties that fund them, giving rise to talk
of political corruption.


My other question is that: suppose we have to give some recommendations or tell the causes of something, again do we have to use paragraphs or are we allowed to write it in points.
