Islamophobia Essay

Complete CSS Essay | Islamophobia Essay

By: Talha Aslam

Islamophobia, a term expressed to depict fear of Islam is widely used to connote indiscriminate attitudes, beliefs and emotions directed towards Islam or Muslims.

In reference to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word Islamophobia means “Intense dislike or fear of Islam”. It was first coined by French Scholar Alain Quellien, as ‘’Islamphobie” in 1910 to describe a prejudice against Islam that is rife among the people of the West. Later, it was adopted by English Literature in 1923. As a concept in practice, it is considered a new word of an old notion presented by Edward Said in his work on Orientalism where West has always been associating derogatory sentiments and stereotypes to the practices of Islam.

The Best English Teacher in Pakistan, Who has helped me most

By: Faiqa Fiyaz

Who is the best English teacher in Pakistan, Who is the best English grammarian in Pakistan, and who is the best CSS English teacher who knows teaching, creative writing; are some of the questions make nearly every competitive aspirant search on the Google when he or she decides to give the CSS exam a try. A significant number of aspirants, being beginners, get trapped, straight away, by fascinating ads, billboards, and DMCs displayed everywhere, from social media to the main roads, and help FPSC to make CSS result drop to a frightful level. Before getting an appointment in Ashford as an English writing coach – in London, I was among the same, who were ready 24/7 to listen to every person who either had given an attempt or qualified it. I was used to sleeping like an A.C, waking up like an FSP, walking like an ASP, reading like a topper. No, I was not like that kind of person, I was, instead, made such a person by listening to qualifiers and reading their interviews that made me believe in “CSS is the end of my life.” I know this is of no use to tell aspirants how to save from getting failed, yet I decided to write an article that might help some people like me. My article is a tribute to the best English teacher who didn’t only help me crack the CSS essay and precis papers but also taught me the way of teaching and writing, which helped me secure a job that is desired by many but got by a few. So, like other aspirants, I also have a story that starts with imagination and ends in an unending depression.

The impact of Biden’s victory

By: Saleem Qamar Butt

In topping Trump in a race that was both upended and largely defined by the coronavirus, the Democratic nominee Joseph Biden has become the first challenger to defeat an incumbent first-term president in nearly 30 years by gaining the highest number of votes by any president in the history of America. With his victory, his running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris, will become the first female vice president. Trump’s non-acceptance of results and resort to courts notwithstanding, Joe Biden seems all set to take the oath on 20th January 2021 and occupy White House with seemingly unlimited number of domestic and international challenges that call out for his attention.

Does an ordinary citizen enjoy the right to access of information in Pakistan?

By: Mehmil Khalid Kunwar

Without a strong check and balance and subsequent implementation, laws if made, have little chance of success

An enlightened citizen is a proof that a state is truly running on democratic lines. Democracy cannot flourish in a region where the inhabitants do not know the actual performance of the people they have elected or where they are denied their basic fundamental rights. According to the traditional concept of democracy, a citizen when elects his representative, is fully equipped with the right to ask the latter about fulfillment of his responsibilities and expects him to demonstrate a responsive character towards the demands of the masses.

This, not only promotes a culture of accountability, but also inculcates in the rulers, the fear of exercising their rights, by the ruled.

Post-Trump US foreign policy | CSS Essay Material

By:

NEVER have Americans seen an election in their recent history quite like the 2020 presidential contest. Never has the world watched with such concern the political tensions, bitter rhetoric and legal fights that marked the turbulent run-up to the election. The close race kept people on edge for days following the election as votes were counted in the crucial battlefield states.

The American people chose Joe Biden to lead their country in what has been described as ‘an election of a lifetime’ which will have “decade-defining consequences”. This has come as a relief to many people in America and beyond. For the international community the overarching question is how the new occupant of the White House will change American foreign policy in the post-Trump era.
