Co-education-its merits and demerits

Co-education,in simple words, means “studying of both male and female under the same roof in one class”. Such type of gathering for acquisition of knowledge is very common across the world. There are, no doubt, a number of benefits which co-education brings in its turn. To begin with, co-education provides a very conducive environment of competition between males and females. The former in order to excel the latter struggles really hard while the latter also do vice-versa. Such competition directly or indirectly enhance the education standard. Besides competition, co-education provides good opportunities to both the sexes to understand each other. The misconception which prevails erodes while studying so close together. In addition to this, females get confidence in co-education system. This confidence helps them to work along with males in every walk of life. Last but not least, such system of education reduces the burden on national exchequor. The developing countries such as Pakistan, India and Bangladesh etc. needs not to construct separate universities for males and females. However,all this does not mean that the system of co-education is flawless. It has several flaws as well. Firstly, the ever growing westernization has put our youth on the brink of disaster. In universities,realistically speaking, young couples could be seen wandering here and there. They waste their time in useless gossips and do not concentrate on their studies. Owing to this factor, the illiterate and conservative people don’t send their female child to schools/colleges.Broadly speaking, Pushtun societies are highly prone to this. In sum, however, the merits of co-education overshadow its demerits. No doubt, co-education is beneficial for the developing economies ,on one hand, and for bringing social change and prosperity,on the other hand.

OVERPOPULATION IN PAKISTAN:

Overpopulation is one of the gravest problems confronting Pakistan. The population of Pakistan, candidly speaking, has increased multifold in the last few decades. The ever growing population has posed serious challenges to the society as a whole. It would not be wrong to consider the rapidly growing population as an existential threat to the country. As a matter of fact, with the weak economy and scarce resources, it would not be possible for the government to feed and manage such a gigantic number of people.

Overpopulation is a world wide phenomenon. This problem is not merely restricted to Pakistan. Nevertheless, there is a great difference of magnitude. The attitude of indifference on the part of ruling elite in Pakistan has deteriorated the situation further.
As compared to a few million population in 1947, it is 180 millions today. Pakistan ranks 6th in the list of the countries considered to be most populated. This is an alarming situation. The problem needs to be addressed on priority basis.
This problem,however, could be remedied provided its main causes are diagnosed. Broadly speaking, a number of factors have contributed in the increase of population .

To begin with, illiteracy is one of the major cause. ……


Is this a fine start?
I am really confused about essay introduction. Some suggest to include every thing which you are going to write in the essay. While there are others who are of the opinion that only a gist should be given ,and there should be no mention of suggestions etc in the introduction.. I am confused.

I take start like this "Democracy is the govt of the people by the people and for the people. This is what Ahraham linnlon said about democracy. There is no doubt that democracy is the govt of, by and for the people. It is the people that elect their representatives who in turn have to work for them. Its up to the people who they elect. Hence, people are sole responsible for the success and failure of democratic system. etc etc. " It means that i must focus on the factors relating to the people which led to failure of democracy?(Illiteracy, lack of political know how, ethnicity etc) or can i also mention other factors like corruption, political instability, military coups etc?

And secondly, in the essays like "Is internet a blessing?" should i write one sided essay or 50/50. means 50 pc on blessings and 50 pc on negative side?

Political socialization
Fair and transparent elections
Role of media
eradication of corruption
minimal foreign obtrusion
constructive army of army

To sum up, by taking the above mentioned steps, democracy can be consolidated in 3rd world.
