then examples from histroy to current world mentioned the violence against Hazrat Essa RA, hazrat Ibrahim RA, Hazrat Muhammad PBUH that who did violence on these personalities were incompetent.
then Heroshima and Nagashaki, Iraq, Kashmir and arab world. Afghanistan and Taliban. attack on polio team. etc are the examples of imcompetency.

[QUOTE=farhan1111;695235]I made a huge blunder, I opted look to east fir holistic progress. Wrote whole essay in indian prespective. As india lies east to pakistan. Now in doldrums. Whether I commit a folly???[/QUOTE]


i attempted the same topic but discussed about whole eastern region with more preference to ASEAN, CHINA, SOUTH KOREA AND JAPAN. in some places i also discussed about malaysia in some aspects of progress in the east. over all my essay went average, cant estimate the result...

I am CSS aspirant and would like to appear in 2K15.
In my view the essay was not that difficult. You just need to focus on your own abilities and knowledge and do not go for academies.
This is going to be the real test of the aspirants.
Good Luck Aspirants 2K14.

i also attempted the same, not sure whether i comrehended the topic or not. .

Last or Large Refuge?
 

The 10th essay was “Violence is the large refuge of the Incompetent”, this is what was written on question paper but here people are mentioning “Violence is the last refuge of the Incompetent” and one of my friend told me that in some centres the invigilators rectified the topic and asked them to replace large by last but in our centre nobody told us to do so and the aspirants attempted this essay under the heading “Violence is the large refuge of the Incompetent” this happened in different centres of Quetta I don’t know about the rest. Does anybody have information about this issue?
As it is a clear blunder on FPSCs side so those candidates who attempted this essay as large refuge now where they stand? And what should they do?

Attempted the third one. Main take: Knowledge production has been historically hostage to the interests of moneyed interests. Rise of centralized education systems more so. Provided 5 main points as why and how privatizing education means, serving the rich. 10 pages. Conclusion and Outline made in great haste. In last five minutes.

Business as usual

AOA,

These are really tricky topics!!! Now FPSC has given literary touch to the essay topics. [B]Those who did a lot of practice, possessed pretty good current affairs knowledge and habitual reader of DAWN will surely got saved[/B] :pipe

He/she who attempted [B][SIZE="3"]"Can meaning be fixed?"[/SIZE][/B] has certainly [B]made a difference-indeed. [/B] Its certainly very tricky topic and required deep possession of artistic, logical, and analytical abilities....! :angle

[B]I pray to ALLAH TALA may every aspirant got passed in this and every step ahead. Ameen sumamin.[/B]
Wish you good luck for remaining papers :vic :vic :vic remember me in your prayers :shy

Great Nations Win Without Fighting

[QUOTE=ADIL KHESHGI;695297]Dear CSS was, is and would remain business as usual for crammers, compare today's Precis with that of CSS 1979 you'd come to know about it. Regards[/QUOTE]

But essay topics can't be prepared in short time and they are not repeated now, cramming may work in few papers but definately not in essay.

quotational essays are always tricky

Essay attempt
 

[FONT="Book Antiqua"]This was my last attempt and found it the worst. I never failed in essay yet this paper has buzzed me to my spine.

I attempted essay of number 6, 'Look to the east for a holistic progress' which proved to be very tricky. I did not attempt it in a typical way rather took it bit philosophical and in sociological perspective. I ignored very important aspects of the essays as most of the people here are talking about ASEAN, Japan, India and China.

Keeping Holistic progress I started off with the essay which runs as follows:

Outline:

1. Abstract
2. Literal and Philosophical meanings of Progress
3. Juxtaposing Human progress with the timeline
4. West Versus East: a comparative analysis

a. Philosophical progress during recent history
b. Political Aspect of the progress
c. Social Life in the East
d. Factor of Religion and Culture in the East

5. Progress that east has made (slower yet holistic)

a. Preserving and perpetuation of Social Institutions
b. Development of Multiethnic societies (Malaysia, India etc)
c. Political upheavals, systematic developments
d. Religion, Morality and Spiritual Growth in the East
f. Philosophical Base of West and East

6. Signature growth of the East
7. We are growers and reason for life- Gandhi about the East
9. Fukuyama's Future of our History
8. Conclusion

a. An overview of eastern nations
b. Concluding remarks


I am silent on what providence demands of us. CSS is a game of luck for those who keep on struggling and a science for those who get through it. I have found CSS very unpredictable which cannot be defined objectively.[/FONT]

Violence is the last refugee of the incompetent
intro;
When the incompetent finds no possibility to win, he resorts to violence.
Incompetence is the ultimate loser no matter it uses violence or any other harmful method.

1. Global war on terror (The competent party creates the violence and chaos )
2. International policies of China v/s Israel in Palestine and India in Kashmir
3. Bad workman quarrels his tools (a number of instances open to one's general observation in day to day social life)
4 Behavior of In competent a)Student b) Employee c) politician d)Trader, businessman d) Family member

5."the laborer is friend to God"
6. "Allah is with those who remain steady and patient"
7. The most condemned act in religion is that of violence
8. Cowards opt for the path of incompetence and cruelty
missing few paragraphs........

conclusion:

plus
 

I missed the economic aspect of the progress thinking west far ahead in it, discussed materialism and spiritualism along with some philosophers of the the sides of the world.

i attempted the same essay and even mention the progress of china,japan, india,south korea there success stories and challenges but what i am dubious about is that this essay was definitely to compare the saarc with asean bloc ....what is your point of view ?
i.e. the failure of saarc and the success of asean ?

Sir explaining holistic progress requires of us to touch every aspect of progress. these cooperative regimes what most people have concentrated seems to me a part not the whole essay. I didnt even write ASEAN and such organizations. I discussed East in different domains and missed the economic aspect of the debate. really sorry

i attempted the first one which was not a essy task....but best of luck to all memberz for next paper....!

bros you dont consider economical aspect as the core,when we talk of progress ?

yes I know dear, but economic progress is what west also have. I thought to discuss only those things which west is seemingly failing in.. you are right and I regret not being so responsive while writing..

attempted the 2nd one.. took an hour to compile and make an outline.. total 1075 words written.. wud i be able to clear this paper?? 2ndly i wanna know that how do the examiner counts the words??means that does he counts words from 1st line or 2nd line to multiple with the page number and total lines???

anyone!! please comment

Great Nations win without fighting is simply Dialogue is the best way to combat terrorism. Old wine in a new bottle. I thought most of the people (at least the sane ones) would attempt this essay in this perspective so I dropped the idea

I was tempted to attempt Post-modern ethos- a challenge to the West, its solution given exactly in the next line->Look to the east for a holistic progress! But I dropped this idea too because too much philosophy spoil the broth.

At last I attempted Great Nations taking a position against the topic. My thesis was Nations become great only by fighting and then winning. No winning without fighting. Examples: Rise of Islam, colonial powers bla bla.. Fight is not just traditional warfare but also economic, diplomatic and technological warfare. Realpolitik stuff..

Its quite tough for me to hndl dis mch info in a singal lenthy and tricky essay.. can anyone guide me to have a strong grip in writing essay becoz dis iz my only fear due to which i skippd my 2014 atmpt.. need asistnc n advice

brother you adopted a wrong appraoch
 

it was not about benefits or drawbacks of privatization.... they asked as where privatization impoved quality or its a source to earn money..... we had to justify any 1 of there two opinions.... mentioning fruits and drawbacks was not required at all

[QUOTE=Tayyab siyal;695230]Attempted the fifth one.

Post-modern ethos - a challenge to the west

Did anyone else here attempt the same?[/QUOTE]

I attempted the same essay. Can you please share your outline?

this was corrected in multan center but too after 1hr of paper start. i personally called the invigilator and scorned him on such a pathetic and poor management on part of FPSC. further i said him to convey our protest to FPSC. he said yes you can give us in written to be sent to secy FPSC. i said yes bring me a paper and i will get my protest recorded, later on he didnot bring the paper but said that we have co-ordinated your plea to FPSC staff and they have promised to give relaxations to candidates who have attempted this essay so huge hopes for those who went for this essay.

Record breaking paper.The aspirant who pass this paper surely they become commissioner in future,otherwise you enjoy in dreams.Only dreams made possible this.The person who already appointed they are lucky one.humary bari aye to Fpsc na nazar he badal.all paterns are changed.GOD bless u all.Manzil ke taraf nikalien hain to khaine pounch ga he.
