Dear Senior, please evaluate my essay as this is exactly what I wrote in paper. Although a few paras had skipped out ov my mind but I have tried my level best to reproduced the outline. I wrote approx 35 to 37 paras with a total of 2800 words, looking at the idea do you think that I will make it through?

Please Comment


"Free Speech should have Limitations"


1) Introduction
The main idea was that except God, everything in one way or the other have some defined limited. Be it this world or universe, nothing is without limits.

2) Need of Free Speech
-since human civilization
-From the times of Mesopotamia to Mughal Era.

3) Philosophy of Free Speech
-As Old as the times of Pythagoras
-Founding Father: John Locke advocated freedom of speech in this book "Two Treaties"
-Exercised in West initially in Sweden and USA
-1791 Freedom of Speech as 1st Amendment in US Constitution
-1973 Freedom of Speech as Article 19 in Pakistan Constitution

4) Free Speech and Blasphemy
-Salman Rushdie “Satanic Verses” and publication of Blasphemous Cartoons in Denmark
-Blasphemous Cartoons published in French Newspapers
-Terry Jones Burn Qur'an Day on Facebook
-Blasphemous Movie: Innocence of Muslims
-Prince Charles Scandal and London high Court Verdict

5) Use and Abuse of Free Speech

6) Free Speech in Pakistan
-Media enjoying excessive freedom resulting in ignorance of "Media Ethics" and being biased
-Media Hype
-Pakistani Media should have certain defined limits

7) Free Speech in Islam
-Islam allows Freedom of Speech, Choice and Liberty but with defined limits

8) Free Speech in West
-West allows Freedom of Speech but seems to be confused in knowing it limitations

9) Logical Consequences of Free Speech without limitations
- World in a state of chaos
- Ethnic violence and Racism
- Islam and Muslim worst effected by abuse of Free Speech

10) Pragmatic Solutions to define limits to Free Speech
-UNO should play it role
-West should stop playing double game
-World Leading countries should play their role
-There should be distinct difference between Free Speech and Blasphemy
-World should learn to respect each other Religion, Belief and Customs

11) Conclusion
Hurting one's belief, abusing one's customs and tradition, throwing tantrum and doldrums on religious personalities is not use but abuse ov freedom of speech. There is a dire need to define certain limit to Free Speech in order to exercise it safely.
well done. it is a good essay. inshallah you will definitely pass.
Here I would like to give some suggestions to improve your essay.
First of all take a direct plung into the subject of the essay. As the subject is free speech should have limitation. so one should directly start as " speech is free but truth is sacred" or " excess of everything is bad. Then your second line should be that " The notion of freedom of speech is not interpreted correctly by the people. It has and should have limitations. Limited free speech would ensure peace in the society. Excess freedom of speech would erode the very foundations of our democratic society.
Then go further in your introduction and include all the necessary points.
Exactly hitting the target in the essay is a key to success.
Despite your essay is good. Inshallah it take passing marks.
