8. Conclusion

This is the topic i attempted. Looking forward to your valuable feedback
This is the best outline I've seen so far! No deviation from the topic. Hope you carried that well in the paper. If the theory of 'Just War' had been included in the outline that would have made it an ideal one.

Anything in brackets was not part of outline, Its just to give you guys a sense of what I wrote in the essay

- Introduction

- What is a Mentality
  • Defining mentality
  • How it creates social structures (how a mentality creates a societal mindset and worldview)
  • How it establishes social norms and values (how it forms established norms within society)
- What is a Colonial mentality
  • Defining a colonial mentality (what it is and where it was formed and comes form)
  • How it was perceived historically and today (colonial mindset in the past is very different to how it is used today due to social changes and transformation of society, so I explained how it was used in the past and how it is different today)
  • Characteristics of a colonial mentality (listed 6 and described each)
- Colonial mentality an Impediment to Pakistan
  • A historical perspective (from 1947 onwards explained using 5 examples how it impeded Pakistans progress)
  • Current scenario (5 examples to support my argument on how it is impeding Pakistans progress today)
- Consequences of a colonial mentality (this point is the extension of the last point, the results of colonial mentality impeding Pakistans progress throughout history and today. What negative results have we seen due to it. Gave 6 examples and explained each)

- Remedies to this issue (how we can overtime and slowly remove a colonial mindset from Pakistan. Gave 6 examples)

- Conclusion

Introduction:
Controversy means Disagreement, Conflict, Difference of opinion. Conformism is derived from conformity which means obedience and acceptance of social norms and values. Interpretation, Implications and Importance. Thesis: There should be a balance between the two.

Philosophical arguments:
1. Total conformity ->Boredom and monotony. Controversy -> Vibrance and spice of life.
2. Conformism saves one from criticism and punishment but leads to lack of personal opinion.-> Man is a rational animal. -> Needs to have Opinions -> Buys others' beliefs -> Xenocentrism (Pakistanis accept capitalism, democracy and whatever originates in the west without seeing if it suits us). Disagreement leads to criticism-> debate -> formation of opinions ->indigenous culture.
Examples
1. Sir Syed: Conformist towards British, Controversial for the prevailing environment among Muslims; created a balance on realistic lines; emancipated his nation.
2. Quaid-e-Azam: Conformist as in he didn't invoke civil disobedience movements. Controversial since he challenged status quo; used a realistic approach in creating a balance between the two. Hence carved a country.
3. Martin Luther King: Conformist as in he used peaceful protests. Controversial since he challenged the status quo. Created a balance on realistic lines according to the situation -> Emancipated his race.
4. Nelson Mandela: Same

Counter Argument:
For times of peace, conformism sounds better. However, vested interest groups manipulate masses. Room for improvement doesn't end. There should be disagreement to generate new ideas.

Conclusion: Balance between the two. Inclination towards controversy. (The entire write-up reflected the same)

Please comment if I'll pass this one

I have almost completely ignored controversy part in my essay. may be mentioned at some place.

Focussed on conformity instead, conformity vs rebel was debate

But what i fear is that i also ignored 'Save Haven' term. Which gives a more temporary effect to the topic. Like if it means, if a person is Non Conformist, he should not choose conformity as a requirement. In a way save haven term link essay more to Controversy.

Dont know to what extent i missed the topic.

(Third world (using the concept of development in IR:third second and first worlds were explained in terms of definition and examples)
issue?
what does this topic mean?
History of feminism
First Wave (definition scope and achievements with time period)
Second Wave
Third Word
arguments
Common feminist problems in "All worlds" (harassment, glass ceiling etc)
UN focus
organizations
Inclusion of gender equality, as a SDG goal, for all countries of the world)
Focus of the Third wave of feminism/postmodern feminism
Opposing arguments
Focusing only on the history and proposition of the second wave of feminism
Availability of more rights in developed world than Third world like education etc
Mechanisms in first world to address issues of feminism
Countering the opposing arguments
Mechanisms to address the feminists issues in the Thirld world
Information influence theory
