CSS EASY TIP
Courtesy: Shanza Faiq
As promised, here are my tips on how to tackle the CSS english essay!
1. Ask the examiner for a second answer booklet and open its last page. Take a pencil, and write 'rough work'
on top of the last page and do your brainstorming over here. Make a rough outline here, and it's completely
okay to take 2-3 pages for rough work. After you're done, cross the pages with a line, to let the examiner
know that this was simply your rough work. When you do your rough work, keep asking yourself how each
point connects to the topic; one of the biggest mistakes that kids make is that they mention points that are
not connected to the topic.
2. Your outline should not be longer than 2.5 pages, and can ideally be 2 pages long. Please refrain from long
outlines - the whole point of an outline is to make it easy for the examiner to understand what you've
included in your essay. Please do not make long, extremely detailed outlines that end up being a headache
for the examiner to understand.
3. Make sure you include all the main examples that you will be using in your essay in your outline. So,
whatever example you're using to substantiate your points - include them in your outline. Show the examiner
that you aren't just randomly writing points, but that you have the knowledge and facts to back up your
points. Show the examiner that you're well read and well prepared.
4. Back up each argument of yours with 1-2 examples, not more, otherwise you'll end up with some
arguments that are too heavily substantiated and some that aren't as adequately substantiated. Maintain a
balance.
5. Write each argument in a separate paragraph, but only ONE argument per paragraph. I would recommend
a length of not more than half a page, or three-quarters of a page for one paragraph.
6. Think of each paragraph as a mini essay; each paragraph MUST have an intro sentence, which contains the
main point that you will be explaining in your essay. Then it should have a body where you elaborate your
main point and back it up with an example or two. And then it should have a concluding sentence, which
should ideally begin with words like 'Thus' or 'Therefore' or 'In conclusion' - in order to quickly let the
examiner know that you're wrapping up your point here and concluding your paragraph. Try to connect your
paragraph's main point with the topic in your conclusion; it would help to include a few words of the topic in
your conclusion to let the examiner know that you haven't gone off topic and that everything you're writing is
tied to the topic.
7. Connect each paragraph with the other by using transition words. So, for instance - if you have 6-7
arguments to support one side of the topic, you will be writing 6-7 separate paragraphs (one of each
argument). Start each paragraph with 'firstly', 'secondly', 'thirdly' etc. When you transition to the other side
of the argument, or to a separate point, start off the new paragraph with an intro sentence like 'Having
expounded upon the prospects of social media in Pakistan, it is now imperative to shed a light upon its
problems. Firstly..." and then so on and so forth.
8. Your intro paragraph in your essay is EXTREMELY important. Make sure that the intro paragraph's first
sentence contains your understanding of the meaning of the topic, but in your own words. Then you expand
upon the topic by writing about a few of the examples that you will be using in your essay. And then the last
sentence of the intro paragraph should contain your 'thesis statement' or your stance - the main viewpoint
that you will be adopting or defending throughout your essay.
9. Make sure your conclusion ONLY mentions/summarizes the points you have already written in your essay.
Do not add any extra or new points here. A conclusion is a summary of what you have already mentioned in
your essay.
10. Do not use headings or sub-headings in the CSS essay. Those should only be used in answers for other
subjects, NOT in the essay.
11. An extra paragraph before the concluding paragraph is always helpful - my tip would be to make it the
'recommendations' or 'going forward' paragraph where you give 3-4 recommendations based on the topic,
on how the issue can be better resolved/tackled in the future.
12. There is no need to rote learn quotations or give historical backgrounds of issues in your essays - please
realize that FPSC is no longer looking for people with the best rote learning abilities.
13. My sample Essay Outline:

issues, its prospects need to be harnessed so that its benefits can be fully utilized.
Prospects:
1) Ability to crowdsource constitutions; Iceland’s constitution
2) Potential to hold governments accountable
Problems:
1)
2)
Recommendations:

What have been the costs of war on terrorism in human and economic terms? How has the war changed the social
and political landscape of the countries where it has been waged? What is likely to be the long-term economic
effect of the war? What have been the public health consequences of the war? Were and are there any less costly
and more effective alternative ways to prevent further terror attacks? How has, and to what extent, the war
contributed to the abuse of human rights? These are some frequently asked questions that the war in the course
of its continuity has raised in minds of every sane person.
The war that began in 2001 proved tremendously painful for millions of people across the world, especially in
Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, and the United States. Each additional month and year of war adds to that toll.
Moreover, the human costs of this war will reverberate for years to come in each of the affected country. The war
on terror, in fact, proved a great misfortune on the lives of its victims. Civilians have been killed unjustly and
tortured without any reason. Evidently, behind the facade of war on terrorism, International Law is widely being
disregarded; oppositions are being repressed, not to talk of humiliation the values and rights have suffered at the
hands of imperial regimes. It is safe to assume that the commencing of the war on terrorism virtually resulted in
the end of the sanctity attached to human rights.
The war on terrorism is not like any other kind of war. The enemy, terrorism, is not a territorial state, nation or
government. There is no opposite number to negotiate with. There is no one on the other side to call a truce or
declare a ceasefire, no one among the enemy authorized to surrender. The “War on Terror” officially began on
October 7, 2001 and was spurred by the attack on the World Trade Center of the United States on September 11,
2001.
The “War on Terror” has led, in its wake, to grave human rights violations and, in response, to a growing volume of
human rights litigations. Certain quarters allege that the “War on Terror” has been exploited by Western
governments to reduce civil liberties and take away basic human rights.
The war on terrorism came up with extensive violations of civil and political rights that still continue to occur in the
world, with such incidents as demonstrations, shootings, torture, hostage-takings, killings and so on. Political
participation and decision-making in the affected countries especially Iraq and Afghanistan remain seriously
impaired by sectarian and insurgent violence, widespread corruption, and the influence of foreign powers.
The cost of war in terms of human lives has been increasingly painful. A research conducted by Brown University’s
Watson Institute for International Studies indicates that over 350,000 people have died due to direct war violence,
and many more indirectly.
One of the most notorious issues and certainly the one giving rise to the most voluminous litigation is the arbitrary
detention. Since its start, the war on terrorism has been directly responsible for a broad array of serious human
rights violations, including torture, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, and unfair trials. In many
instances, one country or another carried out abuses in collaboration with other governments. Many reports have
emerged of “black jails” in Afghanistan, where detainees were secretly held without the International Red Cross
oversight as required by the Geneva Conventions.
Perhaps the most insidious is the move from illegality to extra-legality (extraordinary rendition), the practice of
removing individuals from the protection of law altogether, epitomized by disappearances and renditions that
have been the subject of various litigation initiatives. To the contempt of prisoners’ rights, the United States
secretly stole away suspects to other CIA-run hidden “black site” prisons or passed them to foreign countries with
more lax human rights standards to be interrogated via the seizure process known as “extraordinary rendition.”
The prisoners of war on terrorism have largely been denied the right to petition and fair trial. Significant numbers
of detainees in Afghanistan and Iraq, later, have been found innocent. However, their unjust detention and
maltreatment has fomented desperation towards the universal acknowledgement of human rights.
Some governments adopted abusive practices in response to direct US pressure. Most notably, the US encouraged
a number of countries to pass draconian counterterrorism laws, often those which expand police powers, reduce
due process guarantees, and set out vague and overbroad definitions of terrorism.
Repressive governments, always seeking rhetorical cover for their violations, were quick to adopt the language of
counterterrorism to help shield their abuses from critical scrutiny. In Egypt, for example, the Hosni Mubarak
regime specifically cited the “War on Terrorism” and new security laws passed in the United States and elsewhere
to justify the 2003 renewal of longstanding emergency powers.
The enjoyment of the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly has long been partial, and often
perilous, for war critics across the world. The war on terrorism has accelerated markedly the squeeze on the
exercise of these rights. Independent ngos, critical media outlets and public protests across the globe have all
borne the brunt of an assault on fundamental freedoms that has been fuelled and “justified” by an increasingly
aggressive propaganda drive to depict curtailing of the rights as necessary steps to end terrorism.
Consequent upon war on terrorism is the emergence of unprincipled discrimination between nationals and non-
nationals, among people of different races, ethnicities and gender. This disparate treatment raises complex issues
concerning the human right to non-discrimination.
After the massive terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, many Muslims and Arab-Americans have been
persecuted. Muslim men have been characterized as dangerous, violent and highly suspect within the popular
imaginary, and much of the Western media, which has led to sanctioning of civil human rights violations, largely
through detainment, deportation and surveillance.
One of the most condemnable violations, ironically, justified by the war on terrorism, is the massive invasion of
privacy by the intelligence agencies. The US categorically defends this violation as a necessary step to access
personal details in order to build profiles of terror suspects by data mining. Governments across the world are
already collecting and sharing much of the information related to personal domain of an individual through
bilateral and multilateral agreements covering passenger name records, visa applications and border surveillance
systems, to name some.
Of all the mysteries, sexual assault on women and men forms the darkest secrets related to the war on terrorism.
Despite not being a traditional armed conflict, sexual violence has been rampant in the global war on terrorism.
Whether in Guantanamo Bay’s detention centre or in the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, sexual violence has often been
used as a tool of torture during interrogation. There have been reports pointing out the cases when women and
girls were raped by soldiers or were forced into prostitution. The international community has failed to address the
problem of sexual violence during armed conflicts.
The war on terrorism also harmed the educational systems of the war-affected regions in different ways resulting
in the complete degradation of the Iraqi and Syrian education system on the one hand and in substantial damages
to the educational institutes in Pakistan on the other. In Afghanistan, there was no established educational
infrastructure in the pre-war years; however, war on terrorism also failed to facilitate the learning process.
Demolition of infrastructure like schools, hospitals, electricity supply system, etc., is also a major factor. Due to war
on terror, the victim countries’ social infrastructures have been destroyed and the civilians are deprived of
opportunities to enjoy government services.
Pakistan has been the frontline ally of the US in war on terrorism. With the decision of Pakistan to eliminate
terrorism of all forms and hues, a dramatic escalation in the conflict between insurgents and Pakistan’s armed
forces was witnessed.
At least 52,000 Pakistanis (combatant and non-combatant) have been killed since 2004 and more than 50,000 have
been injured since then by the various parties to the conflict. This does not include the likely deaths of tens of
thousands of more combatants — both insurgents and Pakistani forces.
While acknowledging all the grave consequences of war on terrorism, question emerges, ‘Is there then an
alternate to war on terrorism?’ In fact, the war — both as a response and as a strategy to eliminate terrorism — is
by no means immune to flaws. While confronting an enemy that transcends borders and does not recognize any
defined grounds, war is not an option, at all. Wars often ensue in additional violent conflicts over the new
resources and new political alignments created by an initial invasion or occupation. The civil wars and criminal
violence that erupted in both Iraq and Afghanistan are examples of this phenomenon.
Civil societies and media must work for the rights of victims of terrorism and other violence by armed groups,
supporting them in their struggle for truth, justice and reparation. They should expose and oppose unlawful
detentions carried out in the name of national security or countering terrorism.
All states must respect human rights in any action they take in the name of national security or countering
terrorism. By closing all arbitrary detention centres, shutting down agencies run-prisons, and condemning rather
than justifying torture, the governments can make enormous strides.
Since US declaration to start the war on terrorism, it has substantially been contributing towards the loss of civil
liberties. From the rugged mountains of Afghanistan to the fluvial plains of Syria, and from the settled areas of
Pakistan to the volatile regions of Iraq, the war in its wake has left countless humans dead. Without mitigating acts
of terror and strengthening security, war on terrorism, in fact, is espousing fear and creating a sense of repression
among certain quarters of the world. Evidently, it is nothing short of flaws. It has wreaked so great a havoc that its
effects may not diminish quickly. There is a need to protect and promote human rights and every one’s right
related to social, civic and political spectrum must be protected.

2016 5. Crisis of good governance in Pakistan: Need for reforms and institution building.
1. Introduction
Pakistan is not a failed state but a badly governed one. Good governance is the inevitable
element of a state the absence of which deteriorates the public welfare. With measured
reforms and institutionalization, governance can be made better in the country.
Pakistan is a state rich in resources and talent but badly governed. A brief history of country
since 1947 reveals how different modes of governance have been brought into experiment
under various civil and military regimes in Pakistan.
Good governance, in general, refers to the measures of a government which bring welfare to
the public lives and state as a whole. Contrary to that, crisis of good governance is the
continuous failure of a government to govern the state and its subjects effectively. Scales to
measure good governance varies just as vary its levels in different government sectors.
If Pakistan is considered under the said definition, it gets obvious that the governments of the
country failed most of the time in governing it well. The reasons behind this failure are mostly
found in the factors of corruption, immoral politics, authoritarianism and dearth of leadership
Crisis of good governance in Pakistan is not a new concept. It has been contested for a long
time. Even today, when the neighboring country like China has evolved from its roots into a well
governed state, Pakistan still lags behind in devising a clear mechanism of governance reforms
and institution building.
Crisis of good governance can be understood only when one gets to know about the attributes
and features of good governance. Among these attributes ‘General Public Welfare and State’s
Health’ come the first. Good governance is attributed with the welfare of the masses. If the
people of a state are living a good life with all the fundamental rights and the basic necessitates
secured, it can be said that the state is well governed. Another part of this is health of state. It
can be measured in economic, defense and political strength of a country. A state when healthy
in its defense and politico-economic outlooks is usually well governed. Further, good
governance brings an overall better standard of life. It can be said in a way that the attributes of
good governance vary in the eyes of a common man, a ruler and a state as a political entity.
Crisis of good governance is the name of a situation when all the attributes mentioned above
are missing or replaced by the social and political abnormalities. These abnormalities can be in
the form of agents which deteriorates the levels of good governance. Pakistan is in state of
governance crisis. Its apparent manifestations can be seen in the declined public health,
illiteracy and poverty. Another important way to judge the crisis of governance in Pakistan
comes in shape of the weak state institutions and mismanaged state-controlled enterprises. For
instance, the decline of Pakistan Steel Mills and Pakistan International Airlines speak how crisis
of good governance swallowed these mighty revenue-producing sectors. Similarly, take
example of judiciary as state institution. It has been suppressed by the executive throughout
the history of the country. There has always been a rift at some level in civil and military
leadership of country. This accounts for a major factor behind the crisis of good governance in
Pakistan which comes in shape of clash between the state institutions thus adversely affecting
their performance.
Among the primary causes of the crisis of good governance in Pakistan comes first the
personalization of things rather that institutionalization. Institutions are important to every
state. When these institutions become hostage to persons they begin to deviate from the
principles of good governance. In Pakistan, during the military rules, the institutions of
executive, legislature and even judiciary have brought into personalization of the ruling
dictator. This helped in rendering the will of the dictator superior over the law of an institute.
Secondly, the factors of corruption and nepotism in a state like Pakistan puts it into governance
crisis. These two things annihilate the state’s governance structure as merit gets to be replaced
by favor.
Thirdly, the lack of long term and well-read state policies becomes another important cause in
bringing crisis of good governance. States are governed well through integrated long term
planning and policies which are implemented in several episodes. In Pakistan, governments
have plans to govern the country well but they collapse because of their short-term nature and
politically motivated objectives.
Fourthly, the priorities of a government also determine the level of state governance. If a state
brings the development of infrastructure as a priority over health, education and welfare of the
masses when these all are required then the system collapses. In Pakistan, more is being spent
on building infrastructure and little on provision of basic facilities like health, education and
employment.
Fifthly, lack of accountability further volatiles the crisis of good governance. Even if the state
officials are corrupt, the bad governance can be averted by holding them accountable. But
when the institutions of accountability become subject to the will of the officials then the crisis
becomes inevitable. In Pakistan the institution of accountability i.e. NAB is often subject of
political controversies. Even the incumbent Prime Minister of Pakistan has discouraged NAB for
its independent investigations.
Lastly, political instability in a state puts it into crisis of good governance. When a system of
governance is not let to evolve and grow normally and political instability is created in the form
of overthrowing a legitimate government, it becomes impossible for a state to ensure good
governance.
In order to bring Pakistan out of the governance-crisis, reforms are essential. Among them
comes first the institution building. This refers to de-personalization of state institutions. All the
state institutions shall be let to work independently without any undue influence and
blackmailing. Bringing judiciary and accountability institutions out of the influence of executive
can help the country out of the crisis. Secondly, ensuring the smooth relations between the civil
and military leadership can also help if not in ensuring good governance then at least in
averting many causes of bad governance.
The Parliament of Pakistan has enacted laws nearly on all the major issues that a state and its
masses may face. The problem lies in implementation of these laws. This is because of the weak
law enforcing agencies. Empowering police as primary measure can help in improving the law
and order situation of Pakistan which will ultimately help it in good governance.
Lastly, if the reforms and institution building are to be successfully brought in Pakistan, it is
essential to ensure political stability and democratic evolution in here. Governance becomes
good in democratic system for most of the times. Though it is not a general rule as many
dictators have brought welfare to their people but that is an exception. In Pakistan
strengthening the democratic system its forefathers chose will help in bringing it out of the
crisis.
In the contemporary run, country might be facing the governance crisis but the evolving custom
of political stability is a ray of hope. Unlike in the past, political government is being let to
complete its constitutional tenure and then go for elections. That is a healthy development
which is bringing Pakistan on the track of good governance. This along with strengthening the
democratic practices will also help in minimizing the causes of the crisis. In compact, Pakistan
has for long been facing the crisis of good governance but the contemporary political phase can
ensure a positive change.

remaining apart from the Holy Wars.

(B) Modern Wars are not against any religion including Islam.
(C) Modern Wars are against the idea of spreading terror.
Conclusion
Modern Wars are different from Holy Wars. Unlike the latter, the former is much more derived
by politico-economic interests of the states rather than any religious or divine agendas.
The Essay:
Existence of wars can be traced back to the point when competition and conflict emerged as
social concepts running parallel with cooperation. Human societies and nations have fought
wars on various grounds i.e. Religious, political and economic. The wars fought on religious
basis were termed as Holy Wars which are quite different from the Modern Wars being
witnessed today. Unlike the Holy Wars, Modern Wars remain considerably political and
economic in nature. These are not derived by any pure religious rivalry or agenda. Nation states
are indulged in fighting these wars to secure their politico-strategic interests, to protect their
investments, to seek maximum benefits out of other countries’ governments and the trade
opportunities available. Besides that, the combat against terrorism is another idea that
overwhelms the Modern Wars thus making them apart from the Holy Wars.
Starting with the politico-strategic interests lying behind the modern wars, it can be clearly
noted that the holy wars are totally a different thing. This is the world of nation-states. Each of
these states maintain specific political interests attached with the developments across the
globe. There are strategic interests nourished by the modern nations to have a conducive
political environment in different regions. Amid these complexities, these nations cooperate
when required but also fight wars when desired. Examples of such modern wars driven by
politico-strategic interests are apparent. Take U.S-led wars being fought in the Middle Eastern
nations of Syria and Iraq. These wars are not against the religion prevailing in the said region
but to secure strategic leverage and political hold there. U.S. desires a pro-American Middle
Eastern regime. That’s why it topples and install governments in the name of democracy. All
this makes its modern wars different from the traditional concept of Holy Wars which used to
be purely religious like Crusades. In another example, consider the presence of Russia, Turkey
and Iran in the Syrian civil war. These states are present and actively engaged in Syrian war to
secure their political interest of regional influence, hold and dominance against the United
States of America. Thirdly, take into consideration Saudi Arabia fighting its modern war against
the Houti rebels in Yemen. The reason behind this engagement of Saudi Kingdom in Yemen is
rarely motivated by a religion or holy spirit but that of pure strategic interest. This helps
understand the modern wars as not holy wars.
Second thing that renders modern wars separate from the holy wars is economic and
commercial arenas of interests. States are engaged in trade within and outside its borders.
Powerful nations tend to secure their economic interests abroad through the pacific tools of
concessions and aid. But they also revert to combative measures sometimes for this purpose.
For instance, U.S. is still ensuring its military presence in Iraq not because of fighting any holy
combat but to hold the country’s natural resources and exploit the maximum economic benefit
from them. Similarly, China and the United States of America are contesting in an undeclared
and informal combat in Africa to control the region’s natural resources for the future use and
excessive economic value. This clearly makes these modern wars differentiated from the holy
wars which are fought for a religious purpose. In another aspect, modern wars are being fought
to have access to the free trade deals and to establish economic hegemony. That is what has
been witnessed in the South-East Asia in the recent months. US and China have come at
daggers drawn to maintain an economic hegemony in the said region. Southeast Asia, being the
home of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is hub of economic activity. This brings
U.S. and China – the two top world powers – in a contention of modern nature which is not
holy in any way
Lastly, the modern war against terrorism makes the contemporary combats different from the
holy wars. The latter were fought for propagation or suppression of a religion. This is not the
case with the modern fight on terrorism that is not against any religion or religious ideology. In
fact, these are against the thinking of terror-spreading through excessive use of violence.
Modern wars on terrorism being fought in Afghanistan, Middle East and to some extent in
Europe and Africa are completely different from what is called as holy war. In such wars the
enemy is murdering humanity. Thus, it makes no sense whether he is a Muslim or a Christian.
Further, it gives him a new identity of a terrorist. This justifies a modern war against him which
works not on religious basis but in the grounds of saving humanity from terror.
In conclusion, wars are a reality. But they vary in their very nature defined by the agenda being
pursued behind them. When the agenda is religious, they are termed as holy wars and when
the agenda became economic, political and strategic; they are called Modern Wars. Today, the
world is experiencing the modern wars which rarely have anything to do with the religious
mindset. Nation states are devising and fighting these wars to ensure the maximum economic
benefits for them in the form of favorable trade deals and free trade regimes. Further, the
political interests of maintain strategic leverages in various regions enable them to shape their
wars with modern mission which would not reflect spirit of any religious or holy cause in them
but purely material. All this obvious material approaches of fighting wars today make them
modern without becoming holy.

Conclusion
Despite the repeated military engagements led by the U.N. in South Asia, Africa and Middle
East; the body has failed to lead the world towards peace. The crisis remains unresolved or
mostly resurface in African and Middle Eastern regions thus undermining the global peace.
The Essay:
U.N was established following the 2nd World War to establish the world security regime and to
ensure long lasting peace in the new global order. To achieve this rhetoric, the U.N devised
different ways to combat the elements threatening the world security or peace. One method is
its military engagement. That comes in the form of Peacekeeping mission and Military Observer
groups deployed across the world states facing some sort of security or peace crisis. The
performance of such military engagements led by the U.N are however not seen as a greater
success. There are factors that reveal that as the military engagements of the U.N are
increasing, the world keeps on drifting from the path of peace and peaceful coexistence. The
apparent manifestations supporting this assertion lie in the failure of U.N led peacekeeping
missions and military observer groups to ensure peace in African countries of Congo, Sudan and
Somalia. Further, the failure of U.N military engagement in ending the Middle Eastern crisis has
clearly depicted the situation of deteriorating world peace amid the futile efforts
Beginning with the effort to understand the military engagements of the UN, it can be assessed
that in what possible ways the international body is making a futile effort to keep peace in the
world. First manifestation of military engagement of the UN is named as UN Peacekeeping
Missions. These are the military missions carrying soldiers from the armies across the world.
The missions are deployed by the UN for the sake of securing peace in a region or country of
crisis. UN military engagement in the form of Peacekeeping Missions have been mostly
deployed in the African continent. Besides that, these missions have served in the chaotic
Middle Eastern situations. But the question remains about their performance and role in
securing the global peace and security. These military engagements of the UN are often
criticized because the troops in Blue Helmets remains unable to ensure peace in chaotic
situation. Further, they have been found indulged in certain war crimes along with showing
indifference to the genocide of any group in the area under their supervision. Their work thus
remains a military engagement of the UN that is failing to lead the world towards peace.
Second manifestation of UN military engagements is the Military Observer Groups deployed in
the regions where disputes can erupt any time owing to the unsettled territorial or political
problems. These groups lack authority in the areas of their observation. States often override
the suggestion and recommendations of the Military Observer Groups thus undermining the
world peace. Third manifestation of UN military engagement comes in the shape of sending
special representatives to the combative areas of the world. The representatives endeavor to
bring the opposing factions to some terms for the sake of the world peace.
UN military engagements in Africa speak clearly that how this endeavor is proving a failure in
keeping the world on the right track of peace. UN has deployed UN Peacekeeping Missions in
the African countries of Sudan, Somalia, Chad, Libya, Congo and Angola. Many missions have
been completed but the situation in Africa remains miserable. Peace is still a far cry in that
underdeveloped continent. Sudan remains in conflict and Libya presents a bleak picture of
collapse. Further, the problem over the Aouzou Strip between Chad and Libya remains
unresolved despite the years of UN military engagement there. All these factors bring Africa as
an obstruction in the way of ultimate peace and the world remains in chaos.
Speaking of the UN military engagements in the Middle East further elaborates how the world
peace is at stake amid the increasing peacekeeping efforts. Middle East, which is home of the
contemporary world crisis, is under military observation of the UN. The military role of the body
in this region can be currently seen in Syria. UN has special rapporteur on Syria situation. But it
seems that the regional powers like Russia, Iran and Turkey are more powerful there than the
UN itself. This keeps the military engagement of the UN in Middle East undermined thus
hampering the global peace. Similarly, UN Military Observer Group in Lebanon shows its
weakness to end the hostility of Lebanese groups with Israel and its regional supporters. This
situation prevents the world from attaining ultimate peace thus making the UN military
engagements ineffective.
As far as the military engagements of the UN in South Asia are concerned, they also represent a
bleak picture. The traditional boundary disputes between Pakistan and Afghanistan are
unsettled. UN appointed its military observer group over the issue but still Afghanistan does not
recognize the Durand Line with Pakistan. Similarly, the border rift between India and Pakistan
was also brought into consideration of the UN Military Observer Group. But even in this case,
the body remains a failure to settle the problem. War loom in South Asia owing to these
disputed borders thus leading the whole world towards chaos rather than peace.
In brief, UN military engagements in the form of Peacekeeping Missions and Military Observer
Groups in Africa, South Asia and Middle East have marked little success in leading the world
towards peace. In fact, the failure of UN military engagements has undermined the global
peace and security by giving the states more leverage to settle their own issues through non-
pacific and combative means which has resulted in more was and more conflict across the
borders and within the countries.
1. Introduction
Globalization has led to the economic, political and socio-cultural integration making the world
a global village. The prospects of learning to live together are, however, still evolving amid the
hurdles persisting to check its course.
7. Conclusion
World is called a global village by the virtue of globalization which is a multi-faceted process.
Globalization is integration of everything. It can be integration of political, cultural and
technological prospects. The most apparent manifestation of globalization is economic and
political integration. Similarly, the globalization which plays major role in making the world a
global village comes in shape of technological integration.
Global village is attributed with sharing information, products, investments and profits. In
political terms global village is featured by presence of an evolved international community at
the platform of the UN. The growth of an integrated village brings several benefits to the
masses as well as states along with causing trouble for the national interests.
Considering the dimensions of global village, the economic integration has brought the world
closer and dependable on each other. Multinational companies, global economic forums and
cross-border investments; all play vital role in making the world a global village.
Political integration of the world states which helps to unite global village becomes obvious at
the platform of the United Nations. This institution has 193 member states which discuss and
decide upon all the important political events of international prospects. International political
security, regional and global alliances against terrorism, international treaties on nuclear non-
proliferation; all reveal the political integration of the global village.
Multinational organizations and global institutions represent another manifestation of how the
world is learning to live together. European Union, for example, represents togetherness of the
European nations. Similarly, ASEAN is the association of South East Asian nations for attaining
definite economic goals. In South Asia SAARC emerges to be an organization for regional
cooperation. IMF and the World Bank bring the world closer in monetary aspects. Muslim
states of the world form OIC as their distinct body. NATO is a military alliance of European and
American nations. Thus, in all ways, world states practice the art of living together for the
obvious reasons.
Recently two important developments in the global political context occurred that reflect how
the nations are learning to live together. First came the nuclear deal between Iran and P5+1.
Iran and the US had been at daggers drawn since the Iranian Revolution of 1979. The country
also went to develop nuclear weapons secretly unless came to the knowledge of international
community. This led to the beginning of talks between Iran and the Permanent Five members
of the UN Security Council along with Germany.
The deals bore positive results after years of negotiations. This proves how the global states are
learning to live together in the global village. Today, Iran is back in the mainstream
international transactions. The danger to the global village has been averted.
Second case comes from the continents of America. The United States and the Latin American
state of Cuba remained in rift since 1959 when Cuba was revolutionized by the forces of Fidel
Castro. The Castro government was unfavorable to the US throughout the years of the Cold
War. The US has for long imposed embargo on the island state of Cuba. The ice however melted
previous year when the Pope visited both the countries helping them to normalize relations.
This visit was followed by initiating diplomatic relations between both the countries after more
than 70 years. This case also reveals the willingness and practice of the world to live together in
the global village.
Third case study can be made on the South Asian states of India and Pakistan. Both the
countries have several territorial disputes along with ideological and historical differences. They
have fought two full-scale wars and a number of other skirmishes. But both find no solution in
offensive methods. Comprehensive dialogue between both the states has been revived recently
which reflects that they are learning to live together as peaceful neighbors though it’s tough.
Living together in the global village brings fruits of harmony, peace, trade and unity. But at the
same time smaller states becomes victim of the evils of globalization. For example, World Trade
Organization aims at lowering the trade tariffs across the globe. This brings free trade for the
global village but not the fair trade. Developing states find it difficult to lower the tariffs on the
limited products they export to earn revenue.
Along with this major hurdle there are several other obstacles in the learning of global village to
live together. One major hurdle is clash of interests and priorities. Not all the world states
prioritize the same things on their respective national agendas. Some times in the wake of
global village’s mantra the national interests of the states are at stake. This declines confidence
of those states on the virtues of global village.
Clash of civilizations is another theory which undermines the art of learning to live together.
The theory given by Huntington speaks for the grounds of clash between the world states in the
future would be cultural. This puts stones in the way of global integration.
Further the structural flaws in the international institutions which help in strengthening the
hegemony of a few powerful states also impede the process of learning to live together. In
order to ensure better working of global village international institutions are to be strengthened
ending all the undue influence upon them.
People need to find the common goals and mutual interests in order to learn the art of living
together in the global village. States need to collectively fight the common threats at the same
time. Preference of liberalism over realism can be more beneficial in achieving this goal.
In compact, nations depend on each other. This level of dependence when reaches its peak, the
world begins to become a global village. Hurdles in the way of globalization persist amid the
efforts of international community to unite on the points of mutual interests.
1. Issue
Creation of new provinces in Pakistan is necessity as well as a popular demand. The issue, at the
same time, brings political controversies and raises questions about its impacts on the national
unity thus blurring the entire scheme.
7. Conclusion
Amid the said scenario, there are demands for the creation of new provinces in Pakistan. These
demands are based more of ethnic outlooks rather than political and administrative grounds.
The demand of new provinces in Pakistan become apparent in the form of several movements
destines to attain provincial autonomy.
Creation of new provinces brings several positive as well as negative impacts on the state’s
health. In Pakistan the creation is however more politicized matter thus blurring the distinct
pros and cons of creating new provinces. This further brings questions over the integration of
Pakistan with the creation of new provinces as the political parties here lack a unanimous
verdict.
Before knowing about the implications of creating new provinces on Pakistan’s integration, it’s
wise to learn about the major movements demanding new provinces in the country. First
comes the demand for creation of a new province in the Southern part of the Punjab. This part
of the Punjab is dominated by Saraiki speaking people who recognize themselves as a distinct
ethnic group. But the demand of this Saraiki Province is not mere on the ethnic grounds.
Backwardness and low-development levels in the Southern Punjab leads to the demand of this
province. Further, people of Southern Punjab find it difficult to reach the Provincial capital city
of Lahore for an administrative task. This demand finds its grip strengthened arguing that most
of the budget of the Punjab province is spent on central areas of the province thus depriving
them of their due right.
Second important demand comes from the Muhajir Community of Karachi. The community asks
for the upgradation of Karachi into a separate province. Karachi is the provincial capital of the
Sindh Province. Making it a new province as demanded would be purely ethnic step.
Third is the demand of creating Pashtun Province in Baluchistan. Being the largest area of
Pakistan, Baluchistan is the house of Balochs mostly. Some Northern part of this province is
dominated by the Pashtuns who want a separate province there.
Fourth demand of creating a new province sought a vociferous voice recently after the name of
NWFP was changed into KPK Province. It is the Hazara community of the KPK province that
demands for creation of a new Hazara Province in KPK. This demand is also on ethnic basis as
the Hazara community distinguishes itself from the Pashtuns of the KPK.
Under the light of the said demands, the implications of creating new provinces on Pakistan’s
integration can be evaluated in shape of pros and cons of taking such a step. Creating new
provinces in Pakistan can integrate the country by infusing a sense of confidence in the minds
of Siraiki, Pashtun, Muhajir and Hazarans communities of the country. This can prevent them
from taking any drastic steps. Secondly, to demand autonomous administrative provinces is not
an unconstitutional thing. They can forward their reservations over the unjust distribution of
provincial budgets within various areas of a province. Thus giving them the autonomous
provinces can bring them into mainstream national politics
Another important implication of creating new provinces on the national integration will come
in shape of self-rule. When the people of these areas will be allowed to exercise provincial
autonomy thus ruling themselves, they can better decide their lives keeping in view their
resources and needs. This thing will keep them busy in healthy local politics and prevent
sedition.
Thirdly, creating new provinces can ensure better administration. It is mostly difficult to
administer a large province. Thus dividing it into two or more smaller provinces can help in
administering it well. This also brings fortune to the people of that area without transmission of
resources and revenue to the other autonomous parts of the province.
Fourthly, creation of new provinces strengthens national integration by bringing welfare to the
state as a whole. When a province of country is welfare, it will surely add to the strength of the
state.
Contrary to the positive implications of creating new provinces on Pakistan, there are certain
abnormalities that are attributed with taking such a step. In general creation of new provinces
is a constitutional step which in no way can disintegrate a country. A nation’s integration begins
to deteriorate when the issue about the creation of new provinces is politicized. When the
political parties begin to measure the creation of new provinces according to their peculiar
interests, several controversies emerge. Take example of the behavior of Pakistan’s political
parties on the issue of new provinces. Pakistan People’s Party supports the voice for Siraiki
province to curb the influence of Pakistan Muslim League (N) in Punjab. To counter this move,
the latter political party supports the Muhajir community in making Karachi a province to
contain the influence of Pakistan People’s Party in Sindh. Thus, this sort of politics keeps on
rendering the issues controversial.
Pakistan’s integration will be adversely impacted by the creation of new provinces in case the
provinces are created on ethnic lines. A new province is meant to be created on administrative
basis. It is when done in order to favor an ethnic group, the national integration faces a blow.
To cope all such circumstances in Pakistan, a middle way can be adopted. New provinces shall
not be created as a first resort but this is conditioned with the pledge to administer the already
existing provinces with just policies for all areas. In case it becomes inevitable to create a new
province, it should be in no way on the ethnic lines. This can lead to dire consequences and
sever implications on national integration.
In compact, creation of new provinces can be fruitful if not based on ethnic lines and not
subject to abnormal politicization of the issues. Pakistan integration shall be kept prior before
devising any such plan

6. Effect of giving up dreams and living in fear.
When we get afraid of something, it is said we have fear from that thing. Fear of
life has become common mental issue with our society. People don’t do what
they want do because of fear of multiple things.
From childhood to death, most of us don’t let our inside fear go, to accomplish
our dream.
In childhood we don’t have much sense, we fear least in this age, but it is still
there. The most common of that is getting pass in the examination. Many student
who want to accomplish something else like want to be actor, singer, athlete etc .
What ever they want to become are caplable of becoming in fear of not
considering their education they give up their dream.
When we grew up, fear inside us strat growing up, we start thinking about of
benefits of things we are going to do. We look at merits and demerits of those
things. Even though not being stasfied of doing what we are doing we do those
things looking at their uncountable advantages.
Whatever science has achieved it has, in many cases have both ill and good effects. One of
which dominate other. On the basis of what is dominating in a particular invention that
invention can be termed as curse or blessing. So far, the biggest curse which science has
invented can be nuclear bombs. Information technology like other fields of science has multiple
benefits and is not free from curse as well. We have become so much depended on these
technologies. If they just cease to working for even one minute all at a time. It would have
consequences, we can’t imagine. Interestingly, areas which lack with these technologies will be
least suffered.
Information technology has so expanded in our society that we can’t perform our daily works
properly without it. Like we can’t pay our utility bills, we can’t call anyone, we won’t be able to
text anyone on WhatsApp. Neither we will be able to send a snap. That all would be start when
we fill absence of IT. Many processes of world mainly depend on these technologies. All
research
Programs of world won’t keep on, even we can lose precious amount of data. Signal which we
are receiving from satellite revolving around the earth and other planets will come to halt.
Not just field like research need information technology. Expanding of information technology
had made world close to each, we now are able to communicate with anyone, sitting anywhere
in the world with the span of seconds. This reduction of communication gap has bought people
so much near that the process which needed months or days to be completed, are been
completed in hours and minutes. This expansion of information of technology has thus also
saved our time.
In the sector of education, the requirement of information technology cannot be denied. The
rapid progress in field of education is all consequence of this increase of use of IT. New and
easy techniques have enabled us to spread knowledge to every part of the world in minutes.
Gone are the days, when a new invention required ample amount of time to be spread across
the world, any scientific discovery took years of time to be reached in every corner of the
world. With the help of these technologies, information is now as spread as ink is mixed in
water. Meanwhile this development also has drawn-backs, often, discoveries of one are copied
by others, and the one first brought light on anything don’t get his due honor. Also, sometime it
becomes, difficult to get verified and trustful material on the internet. The issue of use of copy
right material has also become so common. Nevertheless, work is being done to resolve them.
And they are comprisable against its advantages.
Many software and applications have been programmed which has ability to resolve problems
occurring in every field of science. No field of world is left, where we can’t use particular
software to ease our work and solve problem. Even software has been developed to heir a taxi.
Every field be it, engineering, medical, business, art all need software to get accurate and
precise results. For example, in engineering software like AutoCAD, math lab, c++, dev c++,
Etcetera are been used. These software have enabled us to draw plans. Perform stimulation.
Compute result. Arrange data. There is much other engineering application which performs
engineering problems. In field of art, like graphic designing adobe Photoshop serves is principal
application. There are multiple applications for video editing too. Apart of these specific needed
application. There are other so common applications. Without which our daily task can’t be
completed. One of which are soft wares developed Microsoft.
It is true this expansion of IT, have been fruit full in almost every field of science and art. But it
won’t be wrong either to say it has greatly affected our lives. There are direct and in direct
effect of these developments.
Communication gap is certainly reduced, but physical gap has virtually enhanced. When there
weren’t such technologies people used to talk with each, they respected each other. But now
we even don’t know who is living in our neighborhood. People used to play outside, they played
physical games, which maintained their health and also kept them mentally fit. People used to
lead a simple and natural life. Spending hours and hours on computer screens, sitting at one
place whole day, even not getting up for meal has caused some serious issues. More people
now a day have diseases of eyes than before. People aren’t fit now a days, IT has indirect
influence in that too.
Just useful content is not spread on internet. Violence, hate messages, adult content, ill
speeches are also spreading as fast as useful material though efforts are been made to stop it.
But we haven’t seen much success in it. Fake information is spread like a wild fire on internet.
Humiliating videos and pictures of known and common people are very often posted on social
media. People don’t care how much it can affect and insult that person; it is just used for fun
purpose. We have witnessed several cases of these incidents, in which these people go under
depression and do things which they shouldn’t. I would like to write one of such incidents, last
Sunday Sindh university conducted its entrance test. A girl after test was asked a question by a
local media; she insisted that she wasn’t in condition to give answer. Reporter said it will be
very simple one. She agreed. The question was who prime minister of Pakistan is and her
answer was “Quaid-e-Azam” this video become viral. Seeing this situation that girl is now in
depression.
Mind of young generation was been completed whitewashed at the very early age. The
content which is if often wondering over internet is causing more problem than benefits. It can
be argued parent should pay attention on such thing, but it cannot be denied what bought it in
first place, also in many causes’ children has become smart enough to fool their parents, which
is also due to these technologies.
No doubt modern IT has saved our lot of time. But now a day it has also become source of
waste of huge time. Modern social media apps, modern pc and mobile games, adult content
people spend considerable amount of time on this platform. People don’t realize who much
time they consume for just scrolling down Facebook, Twitter, watching prank videos on
YouTube. Everyone knows what person do after watching adult content. Due to easy availability
of such content, people do what they shouldn’t do often.
All and all these technologies are helping science to develop more rapidly, they are also
contributing to the fields which are producing disastrous outcomes, whose affect are visible to
us. This global warming, spread of hater, cybercrime all is linked to information technologies.
People may be living comfortable lives for now, but this expansion will ultimately lead us to
end, which would have never happened has things been natural. So, in conclusion this
expansion of information technology is cruse in blessing.

Essay: The Creation of New Provinces in Pakistan: Implications for an Integrated
Country
1. Issue
Creation of new provinces in Pakistan is necessity as well as a popular demand. The issue, at the
same time, brings political controversies and raises questions about its impacts on the national
unity thus blurring the entire scheme.
7. Conclusion
Creation of new provinces remains an important subject of politics in a developing country
which has limited available resources. Pakistan is no exception in this regard. The country has
federal structure of government in which there is a central government and several provincial
government depending upon the number of provices. Pakistan is home of four major provinces,
one sub-autonomous state of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and an administrative unit of Gilgit
Baltistan which is not a full province yet.
Amid the said scenario, there are demands for the creation of new provinces in Pakistan. These
demands are based more of ethnic outlooks rather than political and administrative grounds.
The demand of new provinces in Pakistan become apparent in the form of several movements
destines to attain provincial autonomy.
Creation of new provinces brings several positive as well as negative impacts on the state’s
health. In Pakistan the creation is however more politicized matter thus blurring the distinct
pros and cons of creating new provinces. This further brings questions over the integration of
Pakistan with the creation of new provinces as the political parties here lack a unanimous
verdict.
Before knowing about the implications of creating new provinces on Pakistan’s integration, it’s
wise to learn about the major movements demanding new provinces in the country. First
comes the demand for creation of a new province in the Southern part of the Punjab. This part
of the Punjab is dominated by Saraiki speaking people who recognize themselves as a distinct
ethnic group. But the demand of this Saraiki Province is not mere on the ethnic grounds.
Backwardness and low-development levels in the Southern Punjab leads to the demand of this
province. Further, people of Southern Punjab find it difficult to reach the Provincial capital city
of Lahore for an administrative task. This demand finds its grip strengthened arguing that most
of the budget of the Punjab province is spent on central areas of the province thus depriving
them of their due right.
Second important demand comes from the Muhajir Community of Karachi. The community asks
for the upgradation of Karachi into a separate province. Karachi is the provincial capital of the
Sindh Province. Making it a new province as demanded would be purely ethnic step.
Third is the demand of creating Pashtun Province in Baluchistan. Being the largest area of
Pakistan, Baluchistan is the house of Balochs mostly. Some Northern part of this province is
dominated by the Pashtuns who want a separate province there.
Fourth demand of creating a new province sought a vociferous voice recently after the name of
NWFP was changed into KPK Province. It is the Hazara community of the KPK province that
demands for creation of a new Hazara Province in KPK. This demand is also on ethnic basis as
the Hazara community distinguishes itself from the Pashtuns of the KPK.
Under the light of the said demands, the implications of creating new provinces on Pakistan’s
integration can be evaluated in shape of pros and cons of taking such a step. Creating new
provinces in Pakistan can integrate the country by infusing a sense of confidence in the minds
of Siraiki, Pashtun, Muhajir and Hazarans communities of the country. This can prevent them
from taking any drastic steps. Secondly, to demand autonomous administrative provinces is not
an unconstitutional thing. They can forward their reservations over the unjust distribution of
provincial budgets within various areas of a province. Thus giving them the autonomous
provinces can bring them into mainstream national politics
Another important implication of creating new provinces on the national integration will come
in shape of self-rule. When the people of these areas will be allowed to exercise provincial
autonomy thus ruling themselves, they can better decide their lives keeping in view their
resources and needs. This thing will keep them busy in healthy local politics and prevent
sedition.
Thirdly, creating new provinces can ensure better administration. It is mostly difficult to
administer a large province. Thus dividing it into two or more smaller provinces can help in
administering it well. This also brings fortune to the people of that area without transmission of
resources and revenue to the other autonomous parts of the province.
Fourthly, creation of new provinces strengthens national integration by bringing welfare to the
state as a whole. When a province of country is welfare, it will surely add to the strength of the
state.
Contrary to the positive implications of creating new provinces on Pakistan, there are certain
abnormalities that are attributed with taking such a step. In general creation of new provinces
is a constitutional step which in no way can disintegrate a country. A nation’s integration begins
to deteriorate when the issue about the creation of new provinces is politicized. When the
political parties begin to measure the creation of new provinces according to their peculiar
interests, several controversies emerge. Take example of the behavior of Pakistan’s political
parties on the issue of new provinces. Pakistan People’s Party supports the voice for Siraiki
province to curb the influence of Pakistan Muslim League (N) in Punjab. To counter this move,
the latter political party supports the Muhajir community in making Karachi a province to
contain the influence of Pakistan People’s Party in Sindh. Thus, this sort of politics keeps on
rendering the issues controversial.
Pakistan’s integration will be adversely impacted by the creation of new provinces in case the
provinces are created on ethnic lines. A new province is meant to be created on administrative
basis. It is when done in order to favor an ethnic group, the national integration faces a blow.
To cope all such circumstances in Pakistan, a middle way can be adopted. New provinces shall
not be created as a first resort but this is conditioned with the pledge to administer the already
existing provinces with just policies for all areas. In case it becomes inevitable to create a new
province, it should be in no way on the ethnic lines. This can lead to dire consequences and
sever implications on national integration.
In compact, creation of new provinces can be fruitful if not based on ethnic lines and not
subject to abnormal politicization of the issues. Pakistan integration shall be kept prior before
devising any such plan
When We look around us and observe how nature is playing its role. kFollowing proper chain of
commands, doing what they are supposed to do, when they are supposed to do. They don’t change
their routine. They are punctual more than anything else. Their punctuality is not ineffectual. Suppose if
sun rises arbitrary on any time as it wishes. What impact would that make to us? Our entire way of
living will be affected. We won’t be able to do thing which we are supposed to. If there is no timeline of
certain phenomena happening, it would impact us gravely. The more important a thing is the sooner it
should be done.
We are living an era in which money is everything and it has ever been. But there is as important as
money if not more that is time. Time can be linked in money ways, and can be proved more important
than money .like money, time need to be spent carefully. It cannot be wasted as money cannot be. Both
time and money produces happiness, success, advantages if invested rightly. But in some cases time is
more worthy then money. Money once spent can be earned back but time once spent never comes
back. It is rightly said “Time is money”.
Mankind understands the value of time, that the reason they create systems to be punctual of time. A
timeless world never would have achieved what it has achieved. We as human being want everything
to be on time. When things don’t happen on time it may result disasters. World moves when people are
punctual. If we take any system of world and don’t make it punctual it will never work. The degree of
punctuality may vary. If we compare a transportation system with medical system then the later needs
to be dead punctual as a delay of few minutes in certain causes can lose life. Nevertheless a
transportation system needs to be punctual as well. A delay of a half an hour could affect many.
Similarly the importance of time can be emphasized in other system as well like in military operations,
politics, construction, manufacturing, and etcetera.
It will not be exaggeration to say wasting time waste person. We came in world with limited amount of
time. If wasted for nothing that just make us an idiot. Time is the most precious thing for us. No one can
snitch our time from us. It may seem this little thing: being punctual isn’t much fruitful. But if we
observe carefully doing things on time it produce fruit full result.
So after all emphasizing of time. What is it really needs to be done to save time. One of the ways is to be
punctual. Punctuality means do to assigned work on their. To perform things on exact time when they
need to be done. Punctuality not only saves our time it makes a man ordered. It is not in the nature of
man just do thing on exact time. When one does so he becomes ordered. A habit is created in him to
complete work as soon as possible without hurrying. He saves himself from lot of trouble by doing
things on time. Such a person can be regarded as active person. On the contrary someone who does not
do their work on time considered lazy. People rely on former type of person. Only a punctual man
knows the importance of time. He utilizes it with utter most care and do not waste it. It may seem how
being punctual could be much lethal in our daily life. We often have habit of doing work at 11 th hour.
This may just not affect our work but also puts lots of pressure on us which may create other lot of
problems on the other hand if someone is tend to do work on time, he will not to that task properly but
will also save much time. A punctual feels it necessary to do work on time. This in a way makes him
more disciplined. The urge of doing things at their makes be sensible and responsible. Thus just one this
habit can make a man perfect in numerous other ways. This discipline, sense of responsibility, value of
time helps him to conformity and ritualism.
All being said about punctuality does it implies that in every instance of life should we follow it? Does
every aspect of our life demands punctuality? Is punctuality always helpful? Last but not least is there
any fun being punctual? The answers to all these question is “no”. As saying goes “everything in excess is
poison” same applies on being punctual. Most of the time it is good to be punctual, sometime it is
necessary it demands to be. But it is also true delay in some cases is necessary. Following same things
again and again on time makes life dull and boring. As always waking up at 7 am and go to school is not
interesting at all. Being busy doing their task always leave the part when they have to something else.
Strictly doing things at exact time may impact people in way that they are no more curious in doing
other things. People who are too punctual follow a strict way of life. It tends to make them follow a
prescribed way of life, follow same tradition, don’t let them do out of box. Things could be done even if
we are not punctual delaying things sometimes is adventurous. We can do other things while resting
former. Also if someone does thing when needed to be done he will not be able to cop the situation
when we will not be able to face the difficulties. He never did that before.
Living a life in which one is to punctual is not ideal. We miss anything in order just be on time. Being on
time is not important. The one who comes late is always remembered. Bill gates one said that we would
rather a lazy person to do his work as he would found ten easy ways to do same job.
PUNCTUALITY IS VIRTUE OF BORED
When look around us and observe who nature is playing it role. Following proper chain of commands,
doing what they are supposed to do, when they are supposed to do. They don’t change their routine.
They are punctual more than anything else. Their punctuality is not ineffectual. Suppose if sun rises
arbitrary on any time as it wishes. What impact would that make to us? Our entire way of living will be
affected. We won’t be able to do thing which we are supposed to. If there is no timeline of certain
phenomena happening, it would impact us gravely. The more important a thing is the sooner it should
be done.
We are living an era in which money is everything and it has ever been. But there is as important as

Supporters argue that creating provinces based on ethnic demands can lead to better administrative efficiency and address developmental disparities, ultimately fostering inclusion in national politics by providing autonomy and recognition, thereby potentially preventing secessionist tendencies . Opponents contend that such creations could intensify ethnic divisions and undermine national unity by politicizing regional identities and increasing provincialism .
The 'War on Terror' has severely impacted human rights, resulting in widespread violations, including arbitrary detentions, torture, and infringements on civil liberties . These violations have occurred amid claims that the war is used to suppress dissent and reduce civil liberties, particularly by Western governments. The fundamental nature of this war, which lacks a state actor opponent, complicates accountability measures and results in perpetual conflict . Additionally, political instability, especially in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, has further exacerbated human rights abuses .
The demand for new provinces in Pakistan highlights the complexity of integrating the nation due to the ethnic diversity and political motivations involved. Creating new provinces on ethnic grounds, as seen with the Saraiki, Muhajir, Pashtun, and Hazara communities, may exacerbate existing divisions rather than integrate, as it could lead to increased provincialism and divergent priorities . However, proponents argue that smaller provinces could improve administration and resources distribution, potentially enhancing national cohesion by fostering inclusion in mainstream politics and preventing drastic actions by discontented groups .
UN military engagements have been largely ineffective in achieving lasting peace, as evidenced by persistent conflicts in Africa and the Middle East. Despite peacekeeping missions and the presence of observer groups, crises in regions like Congo, Sudan, Lebanon, and Syria remain unresolved, partly due to strategic interests and insufficient conflict resolution mechanisms . These ongoing issues demonstrate the limitations of UN interventions in addressing the root causes of conflicts and maintaining peace .
Materialism is seen to erode spirituality by prioritizing wealth and consumerism over spiritual values and connections . The emphasis on material wealth contributes to a decline in moral and spiritual pursuits, as societies shift focus from intrinsic spiritual elements of life to extrinsic material achievements, leading to a potential loss of deeper existential fulfillment .
The war on terror is fundamentally different from traditional holy wars, as it is not fought over religious ideologies but rather against the ideology of terrorism marked by violence . Modern wars target terrorists as secular enemies of humanity, not tied to any religious identity, aiming to maintain economic and political stability rather than propagate or suppress religious beliefs .
Improved educational systems can address national failures by fostering critical thinking, innovation, and a globally competitive workforce, thereby reducing societal issues like poverty and unemployment . Education can serve as an agent of change by addressing underlying systemic issues, such as lack of discipline and materialism, which contribute to national decline. By reforming these systems to impart not just academic knowledge but also life skills and ethical values, countries can better tackle comprehensive economic and social challenges .
Modern wars, unlike religious wars, are primarily driven by economic, political, and strategic interests rather than religious motivations . Nations engage in modern wars to secure economic benefits through favorable trade or to wield political influence, distancing these conflicts from any religious cause. These wars aim to sustain power dynamics and resource control, reflecting materialistic and strategic agendas over religious ideologies .
Globalization facilitates the formation of a global village through increased economic, political, and cultural exchange, resulting in a level of interdependence among nations . However, significant hurdles persist due to differing national interests and policies that can hinder meaningful integration. These include economic inequalities, protectionist measures, and cultural differences that challenge efforts to unify around common objectives .
The war on terror has compromised the socio-political stability of countries like Iraq and Afghanistan by fueling sectarian violence, corruption, and foreign influence . The absence of effective governance and continuous insurgency disrupts the political process, making stability difficult to achieve. Additionally, the war's focus on counter-terrorism rather than rebuilding political institutions has left these countries in a state of strategic vulnerability and ongoing conflict .
