The first one means that a lot of things in the world are subjective and open to interpretation and it is hard to represent a thing in concrete definition.

The second one meant that what a nation represents as its ideals describe its morals and its character.

This is my interpretation of the topics and i think they are very challenging to attempt because of their diverse nature.

though i did not have good material regarding the topic but the good sign was that they wanted a shorter essay than before.

i attempted essay on violence

Outlines?

For those who have attempted " women sportspersons," one paragraph on " how women create the soft image of pak" was not enough. It should have been written with indepth analysis.
Women participation in sports activities often arises out of the socio-politico-economic freedom that has been given to them. Besides, if they are entitled to the freewill, then they can participate in sports activities. All these rights, when are given, create a soft image of a country.
