I, at first, planned to write an essay on the topic of great nations win without fighting, but after giving it a second thought, i realized that i do not have enough examples to prove or justify my stance... according to my limited knowledge, China's history is also labelled with bloodshed and same is the case with Turkey....

Every second person has attempted "great nations win without fighting"! I predict, this essay would be fetching same marks '5, 8 to 22' like Meaning and purpose of education in ce-13!........... It means we are in Danger zones

Im no good at essays because i never tried to write any...EVER...and hence paying for such an attitude...but coming to your outline.....on its own...not comparing to e.g Bilal's....i think its good....but If i were attempting it using the same points...I would've probably skipped debating America and Pakistan cz it would be very tricky....While reading the outline i felt you suddenly straying away after giving examples of the Great nations....Maybe i wouldve wanted to specifically apply the Factors you mentioned above on the Nations.....consolidate my argument by using those examples....

In the end, in my NOVICE opinion, you might lose a few points in maybe straying or not entirely justifying the relevancy of a portion of your outline, but, I can say with confidence that your attempt was, inshAllah, better than 100's of other candidates...Baki rest is on the Almighty, what ever He ordains for you.
Goodluck

P.S. Interesting qoute by the way!

@ BILAL HASSAN
Exclusive work and absolute analytical approach .
your outlines really guide me a lot.
Get well soon; and wish you great success that for you really deserve.

plz share O.L's.

Best of Luck dear. I think taking USA in account was really not a good idea. If they are great (if they really are), it is because of fighting and occupying other countries' resources, and even when they were a colony, they fought the war with British, how can you say that they did not fight the war? skipping the USA thing your essay will fetch marks.

Thanks Iram. But dear why was it needed to include the points i-e Standpoint for America, consequences of fighting and stance for Pakistan? None of these points is pertinent to topic. However, you have done a great job as compared to others who have just squeezed the topic to Pakistan and TTP dialogue. Best of Luck my dear.
Dante's divine comedy must have been included. I really appreciate your effort, may you succeed.
Yes dear, this one seems to be the most opted. But it needs Allah's blessing to succeed and Insha Allah if you have done good job, he will not fail you just for the reason that you have opted that topic. Dear, in CE 2013 not many people justified the topic Meaning and Purpose of Education. I will post an outline, if someone followed that, then he would have passed but mostly people hit beside the mark. Similarly many people have focused on current govt and TTP dialogue only which is a great mistake and similarly, many others have taken into account Islam's concept of Peace etc. Don't you worry. I have twice appeared for competitive exams and twice picked the most attempted topics i-e energy crisis in CE 2012 and Democracy in PMS. Allah has always blessed me with success in essay. Allah's help is needed only, nothing else.
I will do it Insha Allah.

@Bilal

In CE-13, I got through in essay but in this time, I think I am in danger zone....... I made a big blunder to opt common topic and gave inappropriate examples of USA, China, Tureky, Saudi and Pakistan. I was thinking to attempt The character of a nation can be judged by its symbolic narratives and this topic would have been better one than that what I attempted


I have googled the historical backgrounds of these nations and their foreign polices and come to know that They have mostly been wining with fighting.
