  1. I have come up with new issue essay based on the feedback. Please help me analyzing my effort in it. == Scandals ar7e useful because they focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could. == Reformers or leaders can be the guiding force to address the problems engulfing the society better then the scandals which discloses in public for the alleged wrongdoings. We saw the contribution of M.S. Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda and Nelson Mandela to the society who brought noticeable changes by eradicating the social – evils sprawling prodigiously in their respective countries. Reformers have the deep insight of the society as they are actually the part of it. They observe the prevalent activities within the society and then try to address the problems associated with it in more organized way then any scandals can ever do. M.S. Gandhi advocated for abolishment of untouchability in India. He observed that untouchables were deprived of basic necessities of life and forced to live a pathetic lives thus in order to exhort for equal rights for untouchables he spend time with them and lived with them and helped to eradicate one of the social discrimination practiced in India. In the similar way swami Vivekananda advocated against social evils like child marriages & sati practices which addresses the issues related to child development, education and women empowerment. The problems address by Gandhi and Vivekananda were hindrance not only to human development but to whole society as whole. Scandals are no way closer to turn the focus on these humanitarian issues then reformers can so. As we have seen in our previous example where Gandhi eradicated the untouchability we can say that reformers not only turn our focus on problems they could helps in providing solutions to it. The scandal can only surface the alleged wrongdoing in society irrespective of its authenticity. Investigation committees were built to delve into the scandals and if it comes out to be false it was merely the wastage of time, resources and money. If we go into past and analyse what actually true scandals contributed to society and we can only come up with disclosing of embezzlement of funds that is corruption propagating in the roots society. If we take an example of coal gate scam surfaced last year in India which involved millions of dollars of kickbacks to the beneficiaries which show how corrupt the government is but is it really provide any solution to the corruption problem and everybody knows the answer –No- here scandal shifting focus on one of the problem of society but problem without any solution is of no use. Where the solution of corruption lies? The answer is in effective policies introduced by government governing the society and in other words speaker of public contributing to root out the economic evil of the society. Though earlier example gives impression that scandal can help in disclosing the corruption cases in the society but here we need to understand with effective policing there would be no requirement of scandals to be out there. If we have reformers who vowed to change the system then scandals are the things with no importance at all. Sometimes scandals are the publicity stunts as we have seen the number of actors’ sex scandals which come daily into news with no productive use but just a fame garner or promotional stunt of upcoming venture. So, where these scandals shifting focus to, to water cooler talks, to gossips of daily life rather than addressing the problems of our society. Again, scandals are contributing to wastage valuable time of society. With scandals providing no solutions to problems and only shift focus on few problem of society and entails high risk of wastage of resources and time we can say that rela power of change lies in the hands of our reformers or speakers who with their profound knowledge and skill not only shift focus to problems of society but also spread about the ill effect of it within masses and provide effective solution to eradicate the same. ==
  2. Thanks all for your input, it surely helps me in some bit of my prep. I'll try to improve and come with better next time. Thanks all.
  3. Can anyone rate my issue essay please == A nation should require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position ===== Will it be fair if student A at B College of Radioactivity Engineering has prior knowledge of logarithmic and Student X at same college doesn’t know about it? For me answer is NO, as logs play a major role in radioactive calculations. So, whom to blame for it a student or a school where student B acquired her fundamental education. If Student B’s school has logs a part of curriculum then she himself is blamed for it for not have prior knowledge. Let’s rule out this possibility. Now we are left with school for not including logs as a part of its curriculum which is solely responsible for student B’s ignorance of logarithmic concepts. So here is it right to say if nationwide common curriculum is being followed then it will be fair to all the students until starting of college. I’ll say it has its own pros and cons with it. If common curriculum being followed is effective then it will be boon not only to student but to whole nation as whole. For example, we could come with large number of artisans all over the country and their products could be exported which means contribution to economic development and also with exports cultural exchanges increases which is also a good sign of building healthy relation with different country of world. It is all possible because the common curriculum being followed is not only effective but it gives large number of students a broader scope of opportunities available to them. With common quality curriculum gates of employment is open to our students (indirectly solving problem of brain drain) thus, unemployment rate is getting reduced which is a sign of progressive nation. With low unemployment rate there will be better standard of living which in turn could improve GDP percentage points which directly proportional to economic development. Quality education to masses can give rise to entrepreneurs & innovators which is a need of the hour for every country around the world. With them there will be more job opportunities, more industrial development, more technological advancement and thus overall nation development. Here, I would like to mention that all aforesaid is based on assumptions curriculum is qualitative, students are ready to learn and teachers are effective otherwise all can go in vain. But we can’t rule the possibility that the common curriculum could be ineffective which could be anathema to our nation’s growth. Ineffective curriculum could result in narrower outlook of students and foils student growth. For example they could only see engineering and medical studies as only option after school thus they may feel fettered and may go for drop out the college studies. And whole could broach a vicious cycle of dropouts, unemployment, limited jobs availability, outsourcing jobs and thus overall downgrading economy. With introduction of ineffective common curriculum we are zeroing the slight chances of coming up with outstanding students which could be possible if every school following their own curriculum and some of them could have more effective then others. Thus, all the points said earlier in favour of effective common curriculum could become counterproductive with ineffectiveness of the curriculum. So, I’ll conclude with nationwide common curriculum is accompanied by pros and cons it’s not a solution but it’s a way to deal with our present problems and could be effective if regular monitoring of while process is done otherwise it could be another fruitless policy of government.
