Going against an essay topic?
Salam, someone knowledgeable please clarify this ambiguity. I had always thought that it was "ok" to go against a topic as long as it was justified to write against a topic. I was going though past thread of Essay 2017 paper for sake of nostalgia and I saw someone mention there that "you shouldn't go against the topic", unless the Essay is expressed in the form of question.
So, my essay topic was "feminism is not really a third world issue". I argued against it saying that "feminism is really a third world issue" or important third world issue. Was I wrong to go against the statement? Someone knowledgeable please clarify this so aspirants don't commit mistake, if it really is mistake, in future as I couldn't find a thread dealing specifically with this subject. If it is ok to go against a topic, when is it justified? Although, I saw an outline by Sir Bilal on the same topic and he also went against the topic, I thought I should create a thread to have a complete sense of when it is right to go against a topic and when its not. |

I agree with Adil. To add to what he said, remember that the examiner and the paper-setter usually have the same background and hence they are expected to think alike. If your paper-setter says "Feminism is not REALLY a third world issue" (i.e. Feminism darasal teesri dunya ka masla hai he nahi), the examiner will also be of the same opinion and would expect you to prove it by your arguments. If you want to go against it, you will not only have to show excellent argumentation, but also have to change the already made up mind of the examiner. This is an uphill task. So why not just tell the examiner what he already believes in himself instead of going for an adventure that can put your attempt at stake?

It should have broadened your mind instead! Feminism is not really a third world problem, it's a global problem. Got my point? Regards

I disagree with Adil on this. I think "Feminism is not really a third world issue" means that the third world is failing even in the provision of basic human rights to women, let alone giving them equality via feministic ideals. The issues of women in third world countries are totally different from those championed by modern day feminism.
Let me give an explicit example. While the western feminists are fighting for the rights to "free the nipple", women in third world are struggling to get even basic amenities of life eg toilet, antenatal care etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
