Types of CSS ESSAYS By Mureed Hussain Jasra (CSP)

Types of CSS Essays By Mureed Hussain Jasra (CSP)

Types of Essays:

An essay is a piece of writing that methodically analyses and evaluates a topic, a question or an issue. Fundamentally, an essay is designed to get your academic opinion on a particular matter. Many students get confused about the word opinion in essay writing, and think that essay writing should just stick to report the facts and forget about opinion altogether. However, there are major differences between an academic opinion, based on strong evidences, and a personal opinion, based on emotion and feeling without concrete evidence and logic, and it is important to comprehend these when you are putting together an essay. Writing a good and comprehensive essay is not about simply surveying and re-telling existing ideas. Instead, a good essay takes into account various opinions and points of view and puts forward an argument that reflects the writer’s informed opinion and stance. Furthermore; there are many kinds of essays which differ from one another on the basis of formation of outline, selection of words, presentation of facts, organization of arguments, composition of paragraphs, forms of tenses and description or narration of ideas and events. Writing different types of essays effectively has become critical and key requirement to get good marks in essay writing. Students must remember that every type of essay has its own requirements and their different approaches can be obviously seen in structure. There are over a dozen types of essays, so it is easy to get confused. However, essentially there are four major types of essays which are included in CSS. These include;

1. Factual or Social Essays:

What is an Essay? By Mureed Hussain Jasra (CSP) | CSS Essays Tips

What is an Essay By Mureed Hussain Jasra (CSP)

An essay is a piece of academic writing that generally consists of 1500 and 5000 words.

This is an intellectual exploration of a topic to find different arguments and evidences to develop the writer’s perspective, opinion or stance. The word essay originally means an attempt or a try at some topic, but technically it usually means a comprehensive piece of writing on a specific topic.

The purpose and given time of an essay determines its length and for students of CSS and PMS its length is 2500-3000 words or 20-25 paragraphs or 250-300 sentences. Every essay has four major portions which include outline, introduction, body paragraphs and conclusion.

Your examiner marks your essay, making comments not only about what you have said (content and arguments) but also the way you have written or organized all this in your essay (grammar, expression, structure). Your examiner will grade your essay too, so that you can see where you stand in relation to whatever standards apply to your examination.

CSS Essay on US Foreign Policy in Trump’s Era

CSS Essay on US Foreign Policy in Trump’s Era

CSS Essay Outline on US Foreign Policy in Trump’s Era 

The new US foreign and domestic policy under the hawkish Trump administration is non-ideological, results-oriented, and crusading realist perspective premised on power and use of force in international politics. It espouses that America is better positioned to achieve its national interests in the milieu of sovereign states. It denigrates the international liberal order and terms it the major source of America’s problems. He says very audaciously, ‘a world that supports our interests and reflects our values makes America more secure and prosperous.’ Trump has replicated Winston Churchill’s dictum, ‘Government and peoples do not always take rational decisions, sometimes they take mad decisions.’

I. US presidential doctrines
II. The Democratic party
III. The Republican party
IV. Obama’s economic liberalization and cooperation
V. Trump’s transactional and inward-looking trajectory
VI. Major pillars of Trump administration’s foreign and domestic policies
