@ Tupac Shakur
Excellent. I see a qualifier in you. Best of luck. The Essay is as much an exam of nerves as it is of the writing skill. I failed in the former and that brought a fiasco in the latter. I chose the same topic as 3/4 of the aspirants, and thought it wouldn't be much difficult to produce some quality material on it. I made a thesis statement which basically said that all the progress that had been made up to the WOT by humans in their struggle for their rights, WOT pretty much negated all of it. I began with a brief account of human rights situation before WOT in the East and in the West—I opined that East had not been very "famous" regarding its human rights record due to perpetual dictatorships and so on. Then I asserted that post-WOT situation of human rights in the West—the same West which was the biggest champion of human rights—became almost the same as in the East. Then I went further and explained how the situation came to be the way it now is. I expanded upon the rise of Islamophobia in the west post-WOT and how that contributed to the acceptance of abuse of human rights in the war-hit areas. I expanded upon how the world media played its vicious role in perpetuating and promoting this abuse by negative portrayal of Muslims as a whole. I explained how gradual dehumanization of people, especially Muslims, has taken place. And I related this to the emergence of the terms like collateral damage and how they tend to trivialize human suffering to achieve war aims. I discussed how the indifference of International agencies like UN are contributing to this chaos by its inaction and insensitivity. I cited examples of Guantanamo and Abu Ghuraib where all this abuse was being displayed at its "finest". Where all the above mentioned reasons played together and raised a monster! Lastly I discussed how this whole war was turning into some 'clash of civilizations' drama and the narrative built by the world media promoted this mindset and hence perpetuated further enmity and hatred. Before concluding, I briefly talked about possible solutions to improve the human rights situation. I finished with briefly reiterating all the above mentioned arguments and then focusing on how things should go towards betterment. --------------------- As you can see, I completely missed the bigger picture and followed a single chain of thought throughout the essay. I didn't mention the many ways (political, social, economic) in which war on terror contributed to the abuse; just kept discussing "whys" and "hows" of it. This left my essay weak and unconvincing (or so I think). I have a very puny hope of clearing, and that too is based on "getting lucky". Papers other than the essay went quite well. But we know that a single paper alone can make or break you in CSS!

According to my scant perception last two essays which are posted here are heading towards no good. I believe FPSC is going to slaughter Essay this time.
But remember CSS is the game of glorious uncertainties so expect the unexpected. Best of luck |

I can see the deficiency in my essay. But Tupac has a promising one in my opinion. Would you point out the flaws in both? You know, just for the sake of mutual learning!

Thanks bro. Cognito, You've touched upon a few things in your essay that I missed in my writing. I think you have a good chance, stay hopeful.
Monk, I'd love to hear some critique. After all we're all here to share some insights. By sharing his own ideas Cognito has already shown me where my essay was lacking. I know my thesis wasn't good, what else?

Yes dear your thesis statement was not up to the mark. You know the value of thesis statement and how whole Essay revolves around proving that thesis statement, your Essay isn't in sync with thesis statement. Your thesis statement is too narrow but body of your Essay is too broad. Also definition of WOT and human rights sound mundane but that baba checking the Essay doesn't consider it Essay if there is no definition In normal circumstances such Essay crosses the line but if FPSC decides to hit essay then....... Anyways i am no authority. Best of luck Quote:
Your thesis statement is good and so is flow of your Essay, structure of your Essay contrary to Tupic is impressive. Your focus was one sided, you should've done cause and effect analysis, for instance Army attacked the terrorists but in doing so many innocent women and children of terrorists were killed so they retaliated by killing the children of APS and so on...... Moreover as you have pointed out that there was no Political Economic and Social analysis on your Part... To me this Essay was demanding Solutions for curbing the abuse of human rights so sufficient time should have been allotted to this portion instead of spending this time on East and West analysis. But i strongly believe that content of your Essay is sufficient to cross the line until and unless the FPSC slaughters candidates as it did in CE-2013 Quote:
Can't find his Essay, i suspect that I'm qualified enough to comment on Someone's essay |

Dear Monk, we would like to know which of the topic you attempted? and is it your first attempt? if not how did your papers in general and essay in particular go?
No.2 Is it necessary for a Cause-effect essay to write causes and effects again? and for a topic like modern digital tech... what could have been the remedies or recommendations in ths topic to begin with? |

Let's discuss about expectations from exam 2015.
Quote:
I couldn't appear in CE15, For me true analysis is always comprised of cause and effect , though your essay is not my cup of tea but still question is modern tech has altered identities for good/bad or both? if for bad then why bad? It's impact at individual, societal, governmental and economic level. Essay should start with defining what altered identity really is? Is it really altered in digital world? Why people alter their identity? What cause them to alter their identity? Now particular cause which forces one to alter one's identity must have particular effect I would've recommended three tier strategy to resolve this crisis 1 at individual level by inculcating ethical spirit . 2 society should abhor fake identities this can be achieved through religious lectures, Media etc . 3 government should regulate cyber laws to counter this........ |
