Effects of human right abuses

Conclusion

I touched upon many things, e.g abuse of human rights due to laws, deaths, refugees, iraq/syria/afghanistan/pakistan/yemen, prejudice and hatred in west and muslims, notorious prisons, social/economic destruction, children's future, education, livelihood, etc etc

I wrote 1.5 pages outline and 6 pages on essay.. Spent too much time on outline so had to shorten the essay but I touched all the points related to abuse of human rights due to war on terror.

Do you guys think about 1500-1600 words is enough to pass it? Gave two nice quotations in the end as well.. I think they changed the max word requirement from 3500 to 3000, while keeping the minimum at 2500.

That's the one bro.. Sorry I don't remember the exact detailed outline but I did write in a strong joining handwriting, normal font and didn't reach 2500 words. I did not draw margins on the right side neither did I leave huge spaces between words/lines.

By the way, since you are doing a research, here is a sample of an outline/handwriting that I wrote about a year ago. It was just a casual essay to show it around and get some feedback.

King Falcon thank you very much. Your writing is legible but you know not very easily readable. I think the essay is too short and simple...but as you said, it's a casual attempt...

Anyway... here is an excellent essay I found... sharing for all memers. S/he cleared with this essay I presume:

this was my first attempt and i qualified, so I am obviously not aware of my marks. i haven't shared my outline over here on this form. During the exams i was so badly engrossed in studies that i couldn't find time to write down my outline, so now i just don't remember it exactly, but still i will try to make a rough sketch.
as far as tips for essay are concerned , i myself am of the opinion to first understand the concept and theme of the topic comprehensively. essay is not just about the art of using flowery language and the consistent use of difficult words in your writing, it is about your views, opinions and especially your argumentative writing pattern. if you cannot convey your opinion and argument in a coherent way, your scholarly diction is of no use. but this does not completely sideline the importance of the usage of "good and appreciable vocabulary". so things needs to be in a balance. i used to write essays for the sake of practice before exams, and usually the main problem with them was that of "views, opinions, arguments and relevant examples". with the passage of time things improved , as i got my essays checked by my teachers and did corrections. thus my practice finally helped me in ce15.last but not the least, a catchy and RELEVANT outline, a comprehensive introductory paragraph and a good conclusion will surely serve the purpose of icing on the cake.
nowadays i am not using this form too much because of my preparation for interview. so pardon me friend if i don't post my outline soon.
regards

i always chose to write on some argumentative and creative topic, instead of going for the topics related to education,terrorism,rights of women,or any other social issue because if you are going to prepare these social problems only then you cannot ensure your success in this paper because fpsc is totally unpredictable. just have a look at the 2015 paper, which has just 1 topic related to a social issue (terrorism), even this topic was misunderstood by a number of people.more than 70% of the candidates attempted this topic which proves that the actual creativity needed for writing an essay on"any given topic"was lacking in the aspirants.(you can disagree,this is just a personal opinion,).i think we need to polish our creative and argumentative writing skills for this very paper.
another reason to avoid such topics is that "these topics need the reference of reports, authentic statistics and articles of well known critics for the formulation of a strong argument''. i was neither good at cramming statistical data nor had any interest in things like that, therefore i avoided them. i always chose those topics on which a number of relevant examples from my everyday life can be quoted and those topics which were flexible enough to be interpreted at micro, macro level, at individual, social, national and international level.therefore, we can conclude that a wise choice of topic is very important for getting success in essay paper. following are some of the topics on which i practiced my essay writing skills;
1)every solution breeds new problems
2)every snowflakes considers it is not responsible.
3)beggars cannot be choosers.
4)our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power.
5)selective justice is the worst form of injustice.
and a few others which i don't remember exactly.
hope this helps,

regards.

can you please wait till my interview? i have material but in hard copy and it will take some time to be converted into typed form.i will surely share it with you. i am nowadays worried about the next phase and am studying for that. hope you understand
as far as the argumentative writing skill is concerned, i will say practice makes a man perfect.so keep practicing. don't be a part of that lot who write their "first essay" in the final exam of css. the more you practice, the perfect you become.
