FEDERAL PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION FOR RECRUITMENT TO POSTS
IN BS-17, UNDER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, 2015
GENERAL KNOWLEDGE, PAPER-II (CURRENT AFFAIRS)
Q.8. Critically evaluate the counter terrorism policy of Pakistan and suggest measures to eradicate this evil.
Introduction
The security operation restored the confidence of the global community in the capacity of the Pakistan military to deal effectively with terrorism. This was the main reason that the army chief received extraordinary attention during his visits to the US, the UK and China. This also contributed to changing the security-related interaction between Pakistan’s security establishment and the new Afghan government led by President Ashraf Ghani. These two countries are now involved in a more active cooperative interaction for dealing with security matters, especially counter terrorism.
Differences in socialization of males and females offer insight into the factors fostering differences in behavior between the genders and across cultures within the same gender. There is a deeply rooted social belief in U.S. society that there are certain roles, attitudes, behaviors and traits that are distinctly associated with gender or biology. While male and female are terms that describe a person’s biological sex, masculine and feminine notions are socially constructed “genders” in which ascribed traits like sex and achieved characteristics such as femininity and masculinity are highly variable from one culture to another. In Mexican culture, women are socialized to be much more submissive to men than American women. As Kulis et al. report on the results from a study of Mexican women living in the American Southwest, “Less acculturated Mexican American girls reported both the lowest masculinity scores and the highest submissive femininity scores.”
What are Landslide and What Causes | General Science & Ability Notes
What Are Landslides?
A landslide is a downward movement of rock and soil debris that has become detached from the underlying slope. The material can move by falling, toppling, sliding, spreading and flowing.
What Causes Landslides?
There are many possible causes of landslides these can either be geological, morphological or human-induced. A few of these include saturation of slope material (rainfall), seismic activity (earthquakes and volcanoes), undercutting of cliffs and banks by waves and rivers, removal of vegetation, and modification of slopes.
When the stability of a slope decreases or changes, even just slightly, it can make the slope unstable. This means that with a large or even a small change, can cause a landslide. However, there are many things that contribute to a landslides including;
- Erosion – if this occurs, even just slightly, can make some of the slope to fall in to oceans or rivers.
- Glaciers can also have a landslide – there is not much of a different from a cliff top. Instead, the ice melts or is subject to heavy rain and causes a slight shift from a glacier.
- Earthquakes – this brings about a sharp change in the slope and makes it unstable.
- Groundwater can destabilize the slope putting pressure on it greatly.
- Volcanoes erupting – this can cause the slope to become unstable.
- Soil structure can change.

Either it is CSS, PMS, or GRE, GAT, GMAT exams, English Grammar has become bone of the contention for competitive students. The CSS / PMS subjects of English Essay and Precis are considered as the toughest subjects. Each student is in pursuit of finding the best mentor for himself. There is a huge number of experienced teachers across the country for English, but the basic hurdle is to find out who will suit you. Coming towards the article, some of my fellows and friends asked me the hottest question “What is the best way to crack English Essay & Precis Paper?” Although I have taken coaching from multiple academies, I hardly recommend academies to my friends, followers, and all other serious aspirants. (I have already explained, why I don’t recommend academies and support the stance of Shanza Faiq, CSS 2018 Topper). First of all, I must tell 2 things to my fellows which I have been taught by my mentor in a time of stress and extreme depression, “No academy, no person is here to attempt your paper in exam, during paper there are only 2 powers that manifest your success and future i.e. ALLAH, and You”. Trusting yourself and having complete faith in Allah Almighty, are the only available tools that decide your destination. We, who qualified PMS, or any other competitive exams are not born successful, we always make it through Smart Work.

Weather and Climate
What is weather?
Weather describes the condition of the atmosphere over a short period of time e.g. from day to day or week to week, while climate describes average conditions over a longer period of time. Step outside and you experience many facets of weather. Humidity, air temperature and pressure, wind speed and direction, cloud cover and type, and the amount and form of precipitation are all atmospheric characteristics of the momentary conditions we call weather.
The sun is ultimately responsible for the weather. Its rays are absorbed differently by land and water surfaces (equal amounts of solar radiation heat the ground more quickly than they do water). Differential warming, in turn, causes variations in the temperature and pressure of overlying air masses.
Understanding the Social Construction of Gender | CSS Gender Studies Notes
Social constructivists propose that there is no inherent truth to gender; it is constructed by social expectations and gender performance.
Feminist Understandings – Gender and Power
The social construction framework explains that there is no essential, universally distinct character that is masculine or feminine – behaviors are influenced by a range of factors including class, culture, ability, religion, age, body shape and sexual preference.
Construction of gender theory argues that girls and boys are actively involved in constructing their own gendered identities. Men and women can even take up a range of different masculinities and femininities that may at times contradict each other. This construction of gender identities (or subjectivities), varieties of femininities or masculinities, is also seen as dynamic, ongoing, changing and changeable, rather than static or fixed. assert that we “are not passively shaped by the larger societal forces such as schools or the media, but are active in selecting, adapting and rejecting the dimensions we choose to incorporate, or not, into our version of gender”.
Constitution Making (1947-56) | Pakistan Affairs Notes for CSS-PMS
Constitution is a basic document in the handling of domestic affairs. It sets out the framework for governance and exercise of power. It gives guiding lines of relationships among the federating units. Law making is always within its limits.
The modified Government of India Act (1935) became the Interim Constitution of Pakistan in 1947. The Constituent Assembly (CA) was given the task of framing the Constitution. The first meeting of the CA was held on August 11, 1947 at Karachi. In the lecture 17 we have discussed the constitutional issues that the CA had to deal with, mainly 6 major issues. Now we will discuss the stages of constitution making.
The process began with the passing of the Objectives Resolution (Lecture 16) in which the Islamic and democratic values were adopted as grounds for the future constitution. The Basic Principles Committee (BPC) consisting of 24 members was made to work for the constitutional powers. The various sub-committees on Federal and provincial powers, Franchise, Judiciary, and Fundamental Rights started working. Board of Talimat-i-Islamia was also set up to seek advice on the religious matters.
