\n8. Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to write this essay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Do start the introductory paragraph with a general discussion about the women and gradually narrow down its scope toward the Thesis Statement which, for this essay, can be given in many ways. For example:<\/p>\n

(a) \u201cThere is no denying the fact that backwardness of women leads to backwardness of the nation\u201d.<\/p>\n

(b) \u201cA cursory glimpse over the history and present situation of the world lends credence to the fact that the more backward the women, the more backward the nation\u201d.<\/p>\n

(c) \u201cIt is high time nations realized the importance of women empowerment as the shackles of backwardness cannot be broken otherwise\u201d.<\/p>\n

2. Always bear in mind that the scope of the essay is not confined only to Pakistan. The examples, arguments and discussion, therefore, should be general and not Pakistan-specific.<\/p>\n

3. The discussion on the point \u201cDifferent faces of women’s backwardness\u201d should, ideally, be spread to three to four paragraphs. In the first two paragraphs, two sub-points may be discussed individually while in the remaining paragraphs; all the remaining sub-points may be elaborated briefly.<\/p>\n

4. The Third main point i.e. \u201cDoes backwardness of women lead to backwardness of the nation?\u201d is the actual question to be answered in the essay. Your discussion on this particular point should cover more than ten paragraphs. Normally, a paragraph comprises six to ten sentences depending on the nature of the sub-point. In this part of the essay, you should give arguments in a very logical and emphatic style. While writing, you should consider yourself as a lawyer who is standing in the courtroom and is trying to prove that the ultimate outcome of women’s backwardness is nothing else but the backwardness of the nation.<\/p>\n

5. Causes of women’s backwardness should be discussed in six to eight paragraphs. Length of initial paragraphs, normally, is more than the latter ones. While discussing the causes, don’t be too shallow in your arguments.<\/p>\n

6. The fifth main point comprises the efforts being made by the world community at different levels to ameliorate the condition of the women. I would strongly recommend the use of latest and accurate facts and figures while discussing different initiatives from around the world. References of different organizations fighting for the women emancipation should be mandatorily given. This would assure the examiner that you have in-depth knowledge of the subject.<\/p>\n

7. Two sets of recommendations should be given in this essay. Whereas more emphasis should be laid on recommending the measures that could improve the condition of women, some other steps should also be recommended for the development of a nation.<\/p>\n

8. In the concluding paragraph, a summary of what has been discussed in the preceding paragraphs of the essay should be provided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
