Default kindly evaluate my expansion.. all csps and proficient in english..!!

My expansion on "MEANS JUSTIFY THE END"
THE statement brings home to the reader that one should try to satisfy his/her needs within the limits of his/her mean. If means are not in proportion with the ends, they must be abated or abandoned. If the purpose is to build a house-big or small- one has to consider his means first. The superfluous means should be avoided at any cost. If the means are lesser and aspirations still high, then the wise decision would be to curtail one's aspirations. Means are to be satisfied keeping in view the depth of his purse or resources at his disposal.
If corruption is to be resorted to, for the satisfaction of one's desires, which is not morally justifies. Wishes, whims and caprices are not to be satisfied/justified through the means which do not go socially, morally, ethically and religiously in tandem with what Islam teaches. Every religion of the world - semantic or non semantic- condemns such a nefarious act on the part of its followers. Islam, being globally accepted and widely practiced religion gives its followers a clear message of not to bluff with its tenets. Islam brings home to its followers not to indulge in false means of earning a living. It strictly forbids its believers from justifying the corrupt means to meet their ends. Children should be raised with hard earned money. The outcome of acting upon this very advice of ALLAH is to purify the body and soul. I, personally agree in Toto with the notion that means justify the end. A society that acts upon this advice can live for long.
In 3rd world countries, including Pakistan corruption has been legalized because people do-not consider the true teachings of Islam in favor of humanity. Every one condemns this act as nefarious, yet they do indulge in it whenever they find any room. In Pakistan, politicians, statesmen, bureaucrats of big and small echelon sneakily/ slyly indulge in corruption to meet their ends. Still the condemn this inhuman act. The notion “means justify the ends" seems to have gone down the gutter and is being replaced with “ends justify the means".
Nicole Machiavelli, the author of 'the prince" has given an idea of the same statement. Ends justify the means has become the order of the day. He has argued that an individual who is to satisfy his ends could adopt any means, whether good or extremely bad. Kings, rulers and dictators are given exhortation to go at any length to satisfy his needs and make their future better. This, however, is not justified for even those on whose disposals are the vast resources. They are guided for doing so even if trampling upon morality. It veers round economic opportunism which has become the order of the day, domestically and internationally. It was nothing but economic opportunism wrapped up in Machiavellism. The solo power USA preemptive strikes on Iraq clearly demonstrate the said mentality of authoritarian behavior. They have done everything that goes against the rules and laws laid down by UN. Despite its filthy and pernicious doctrine, yet it is widely practiced. This notion/practice should be said farewell once and for all if we really do care about other. Otherwise there is no harm in hurting someone especially; you are all in all in power. Islam does believe in fair play and means justify the ends should be the bedrock of our conduct, because it is akin to the spirit of Islam.

Hi, I am new to this website and my knowledge about the CSS essay writing is minute. Nevertheless, my critical observations are as follows. Meanwhile, you should be relying on a more experienced advice.

At some points, you have used some fancy or informal words and it also looks that they do not elaborate the sentences well. For example, echelon and slyly

First, you should be stating your side, either explicitly or implicitly. Then, you should be giving reasons and cases etc. to strengthen your stance. Your primary stance should be backed with strong logic and it should incorporate the 'why' and 'how' of your position. You should be stating reasons as to why means justify the end and not the other way round. All exceptions to your stance should also be tackled. Also, there is no evident drift in your description that allows readers to follow a continuous flow of information and neither are the apparent reasons and justifications.

Some sentences like "If corruption is to be resorted to, for the satisfaction of one's desires, which is not morally justifies" do not convey any meaning at all.

In the case of quoting any author, it would be very feasible if you can give his/her 4-5 word description. You could easily have mentioned that Nicole Machiavelli was a 16th century diplomat. These facts strengthen and substantiate your claim.

Default My evaluation!

It seems you were extremely excited when you wrote it.

Kindly never use emotions in writing.

Plus, you started at one point (correctly) then jumped to irrelevancy and then you were lost.

Instead of inserting heavy words , try to express your thoughts in a coherent manner.

A topic that could had been covered in an easy and effective manner got in way of your emotions.

“WASTING ENERGY”

The Nandipur power project has become controversial.The project was initiated at the end of Musharaf’s regime.In 2010,PPP members were accused of stopping the project which made the machinery imported from China to rust at the port.The PML-N took special interest in it and tried to resolve the wrongs of the PPP government .On the contrary,this has lead to the dozen problems.Instead of renegotiation with the chinese contractor,PML-N has showed a haste in the project,by authorizing one small turbine which would be running on fuel.This has shown the ego of the government against its rivals.Similarly,Uch and Guddu power projects are lying idle,as nobody has given heed in evacuating the power from it.The electricity from Nandipur project would be too expensive,as it is running on fuel.On the other hand,opposition in the Punjab Assembly has threatened to take the case to court by alleged corruption.Nevertheless,this scuffle in the politics has gain nothing instead of a wastage of energy.

• Initially you should not concentrate much on the high level vocabulary and fancy, unusually strong and formal words. The foremost thing to do is to strengthen the tense and sentence structure. At first, try to write simple, plain and short sentences. You should be writing Basic English sentences without any grammatical errors. After that, you should be concentrating on the formulation of complex sentences. At the end, as you read through books and other sources, your vocabulary must have been developed to some extent. This is the point where you search for high level and suitable words.

o Take the example of this sentence. You wrote:
'He has argued..........'

• It should have been in plain second verb form (He argued) or past third form (He had argued). So, these mistakes must be overcome before the execution of high level vocabulary.

• You should consult the relevant portions of the book 'exploring the word' by Syed Sadat Ali. Also, try to read newspaper on a daily basis. Pick any editorial and write it down. You should break down every sentence into the relevant constituents (verb, subject, object, etc. etc.). You should take maximum 10-15 days and after that you will be quite comfortable with sentence structuring and grammar.

• The effective writing and other issues should be handled once you think you are good writer. Plus, don’t read too many books to strengthen your English. The book I mentioned is very effective and it should help you to a large extent. Also, read the newspapers (DAWN etc.) every day.
