Environmental S vs Gender Studies
 
I think it was a bit technical paper though i haven't read this subject but after scrutinized the question paper i made my point of view.....genuine suggestions are need that I have science back ground
so should i go for [B]environmental science[/B] [I]vs[/I] [B]gender studies[/B] ?? :excl:

I have prepared this subject from different sources but i am unable to get these questions.. can any senior help me with them
●Genetic pollution
●Gender role im environmental management. Concept of ecofeminism

What about Mcqs they were easy or just eye opener too:blink

It was not only difficult for you guys, but the difficult for a person who has masters in it and heretical traits of this subject. Despite that she could not perform well and found it the difficult one. I think this paper is for M.Phil or Phd researchers. hahaha

For genetic pollution one of the best and award winning book and I also studied is " The seeds of destruction by F.Engdahl"
For demographic I studied"critical geography by David Harvey"
For technological implication on climate change I have already mentioned fukushima diachii complex disastour in ES portion.:shy
This femisit ecology is highly politicized so I didn't study at all.
nowadays I am busy ans inshallah I will mention each and every thing on this forum soon.After all this forum has given me lot of impetus in understanding CSS.
I love this paper more than International relations.:haha:haha

Was it that difficult? To be honest, i think some questions are tricky but if a person has studied thoroughly, he/she would be able to answer at least 4 of them. Its just my opinion, i haven't appeared this time so I may be wrong..

One could find these topics easily from internet but my question remains the same: as per i have studied, these topic are not justified by syllabus i-e ecofeminism, genetic pollution etc. There were no theories mentioned in the syllabus or even anything relating to 'genetic' or 'feminism'. If I am wrong, could you mention the topics please. Thanks :)

Yeah, it is a difficult and general one. Won't fetch good score. Though if you are feeling good at it, can go for it.

[QUOTE=exclusively;915487]Town planning is better.[/QUOTE]
I have found it more tough than environmental science and have found IR & Criminology very interesting. Just a little sceptical regarding scoring potential of IR as a lot of aspirants are opting it.

Sir,you're not only right,but also absolutely right. That's the incompetency of FPSC, sorry to say syllabus was arranged haphazardly and a paper setter was the one who thoroughly knows the Environmental sciences along with its practical application.
(.)

I had studied these books,2years earlier at the request of my friend. Believe me I have been through the syllabus thoroughly right now and I found it junkie stuff. Have you seen that I had mentioned "Critical geography" don't you think so it looks awkward ,that in ES we are studying geography. At this point I do agree with exclusively that Fpsc is searching for Mphils.
But a new point that even the expertise of many failed to stand itself is a big question mark on our system of education.Story gets too long.
So I'd suggest for upcoming aspirants to go for ES if your concepts are very strong,yup it could be advantageous for those who have strong background of Geo+ir+global capitalist fraud.
(My point of view about paper: well balanced paper with a good idea to search out the best out of ones mind,instead of making the students fail on the basis of slaughtering trend,that'd be a good idea)
But anyway I am still satisfy with FPSCs syllabus revision criteria.Because now there is no place for rote learning, and that CSS is not a joke but a serious business.
At least luck factor could be reduced periodically.:dd
What's your opinion?

zealot Friday, February 26, 2016 10:32 PM

Any authentic book of ES?

ursula Friday, February 26, 2016 10:40 PM

[QUOTE=zealot;915578]Any authentic book of ES?[/QUOTE]

ES is too voluminous that according to me,it is a younger sister of International relations.With each passing it is attaining the prime importance.Because Global climate change and global warming is now becoming a reality.
Regarding my experience,I had studied 12+odd books.
In simple words,you can't cover the[B] whole syllabus within just one book[/B],even in 2 or 3.You need more than these.

Bookaholic Friday, February 26, 2016 10:45 PM

The paper doesn‘t seem that much difficult or unexpected.All questions,except Q.4,are directly from the syllabus outline provided by fpsc.Q.3 on environmental implications of demographic factors is from the topic ‘environmental geography‘ in section 3 of syllabus.Demography seems some frequent term of Geography.Apart from this,option ‘b’ from Q.8 seems to be not in syllabus apparently,but in that question too,all 5 other options are from the syllabus and one has to attempt just four options out of the mentioned 6 options of topics in Q.8.

ursula Friday, February 26, 2016 10:48 PM

@bookaholic
Than dear go ahead and mention your good outline.:vic

zealot Friday, February 26, 2016 10:55 PM

It is closely related to geography i think geography could help more than I R

sanaRizwan Friday, February 26, 2016 11:01 PM

Quite difficult according to what I have studied so far

Smart choice, dedication and your grip on world polity =CSS
That's my point of view ,add luck factor on left on left side,which looks odd in international exams.:vic
Warning:syllabus of Geo+IR+ES is very lengthy.(I know these subjects from past ten years that's why I saved my eleventh hour)
Readers discretion is neglected.:sleep:

Bookaholic Friday, February 26, 2016 11:06 PM

And nowadays no subject can be isolated or studied exclusively.All subjects have aspects and overlap with certain others in varying magnitudes.

Bookaholic Saturday, February 27, 2016 10:04 AM

Also that in comparison,the both papers of I.R were much difficult as very few questions were straight from the syllabus outline of fpsc.May be this year people were more prepared for I.R subject as it carried more marks and required more hardwork because of exceptional number of candidates appearing for it.

I have pondered and have decided to opt this subject (along with criminology) and skip IR.. now comes the hard part.. what books should I follow for this subject? Since miss ursula doesn't remember her study sources, can I get them from anyone else? :)

My belief is that you should opt IR as well,because this subject gonna help you in understanding the true perspective of world polity.Plus point of opting If along with ES is that both subjects are interlinked. Bookaholic has rightly said that now sylabuss and subjects are very much interlinked.
For example Kyoto protocol, I did study it from many angles.(ironic enough I studied it ir ,not in environmental sciences)
.
First of all how it relates with UNCC: alhamdolllilah that question was part of the exam.
Secondly ,obviously its a policy makers decisions to cut off the per capita CO2 emission, than why it is failed to achieve the objectives and that was quite evident in COP21 held in Nov-Dec last year in Paris.After analyzing the situation I concluded that developed countries are main culprits such as Americas-non- compromising attitude in reducing CO2 emission from industrial complexes , similarly Canada, having Alberta shale gas and tar industry:japan having Fukushima dusastour, and so on...
Note: I have already recommended some books,first do make them read: if you find them good one than I can recommend you more.
Lastly, make your own observation,that how better environment can be sustained.For example,last month I travelled to Lahore through train.I found heap of garb ages and stagnant ponds along the railway track.I thought this pollution can be eliminated by simply growing vegetables, orchard gardens and trees along the track.
This single step has multiple and long lasting effect such as
1.per capital CO2 reduction as we are signatory of Kyoto protocol
2.Sustainable environment and restoration of biodiversity
3.Massive reduction in noise and environmental pollution
4.Natural process of recycling
5.revenue generated out of orchard gardens can be saved and this wealth can be used to purchase solar panels.
6.once solar panels are installed it further reduce petrol and diesel consumption,because we produce electricity from petrofuels.
You can conclude your own suggestion, I am betting you that such a comprehensive scheme will make your paper distinctive from the rest.
Oh yeah! add some figures as well.:D

i am thinking to reconsider my selection ..Env or Gender sciences ..i think GS is more easy to tackle and more specific according to syllaba

Thanks for guidance :)
Opting Physics instead of IR as IR is being opted by most of the candidates and in my opinion it would not fetch good score although I have great great great interest in this subject.. and regarding ES, i have started reading Imran Bashir's book.. it is just ok but couldn't find better than that.. it is tough for me to study something in soft form/online.. always prefer books..
