Re: On the spot essay writing and discussion Hello frenz,

Is Economic War is more destructive than a Physical war


War! What is war? What is the cause of war? What is the result of war? Who get involved in the war? Who are benefited in the war? And who loose in the war?
Since ages the cause of the war has been the result of the greed of human being: greed for power, woman or money and the result of the war has been destruction only.Right from Ramayana,Mahabharata…till the two world wars…..The greed of few destroy millions of life.
All but one thing always gets changed and that is the method of war,yes by method we mean the arms and ammunitions ie. the techniques employed in the wars.Previously it used to be fought by man made weapons,then atomic weapons and now the threat of Nuclear weapons.But the most disastrous of all is the battle fought by mind.Afterall wars are fought to weaken the enemy and strategic and economic wars are fought without shedding blood .ECONOMIC war is one of those wars other constitute the strategic wars and the cyber wars(the face of future).
In the Economic wars the enemy weakens the economy of the enemy country by breaking the backbone of the economy.This is done by so many means like:circulating the fake currency,giving wrong impression of the economic growth,making it so dependent on some of the other currency and in turn other economy.
Who are affected?The government ,but ultimately the common man.They are not killed or wounded as in physical war but are broken economically as well as psychologically.The economic crisis of 1930’s and 1980’s (though not exactly economic wars but affected people economically) is the evidence for that. People productivity decreases unlike physical wars which sometimes stirred great emotions in poets and writers economic wars leads people into depression. War is always fatal whether physical or economical. Both are the heights of brutality. One kills man at one go on the other hand the other kills dreams,desires and motivation to live.
The cause of both is greed,the result is destruction,ultimately everyone gets involved whether mentally or physically,nomatter who wins or gets benefited but humanity is the biggest looser

If education is expensive,it should be eradicated

“Education is a sun which brightens our lives through the light of knowledge and awareness.We are the fauna(plants) which with the help of mind(chlorophyll) synthesizes this energy to prepare food for thought and life”.

We all want to move ahead in our life and education provides that path; we all want to reach to the top and education provides that ladder to reach to zenith. We all pay price for education rather we all pay price for knowledge without which we are a body without mind; having all the organs but don’t know their forte and how to make best use of them.

In old ages students used to pay ‘Gurudakshina’ (a Sanskrit word which means fees to the teacher) to their gurus.But now the scenario has changed in every manner.The education is commercialized along with the teachers .The sole purpose of education is shrinked into a job which can earn good salary. </SPAN>

The cost of all primary,secondary and tertiary, all grades of education are sky shooting like anything.In the name of infrastructure or latest technology or say to attract good talent in teaching the institutions are increasing the fees.This is what we have seen in engineering, medical and management schools in past few years.

The question is whether this cost is compensated against the utility of education or not. What is the end product? Is it worth to save money and remain uneducated? Or we should be ready to spend more? Or should it be made affordable for a particular class of society.

Private institutions or public funded institutions should be under the vigilance of some or the other non partial authority. If fair enough then cost doesn’t matter but the people who cannot afford should be given concession.This is already being done in some sectors for unpriviledged sections of society in India.

Money is something can be earned but without knowledge nothing can be earned so eradication of education cannot solve any purpose.There are so many things which are costly or becoming costly we never stop usage rather either we try to find any alternative or adjust our needs to meet its demand. Education has no alternative and teaches us the art of living with honour.

Brief note on XAT Essay follows:
# XAT Essay is not to be written like a typical Essay. Remember u
have just 20 mts for the write-up.
# The topic given is to test your understanding of the concept/theme
hidden in it. Hence it cannot be written like a full scale essay is
written.
# Unlike an Essay, where you get time to develop your stand/s thru
placement of facts and by citing figures/stats, in XAT you should
quickly bring out the following:
# YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE TOPIC.
# CITE CORE CORE FACTS AND RELEVANT DATA IN THE INITIAL PARA
ITSELF.
# ANALYSE THE +/- IN THE NEXT PARA.
# LAST PARA FOR YOUR VIEWS AND CONCLUSIONS.
# Hence 3 paras covering about 1 1/2 to 2 sides of a full-scape
sheet is fine.
# If there are LATERAL/ALTERNATE STRANDS that are worth mentioning
in the topic, plse. do so in the 2nd/3rd para, beofre u conclude.
# Cover the CORE AREAS first and analyse them. Follow the PARETO
PRINICPLE (20% COVERAGE which has 80% IMPACT).
# Most topics have link to business scenarios/management areas and
wherever u can bring this out subtly do so. But dont do this at the
cost of analysing the CORE AREAS.
# Do not cite more examples. A few important and critical instances
would do the trick.
# Keep ur Essay simple and hit hard on the topic by raising the
Right questions which are provocative and are like pointers to the
topic.
# While concluding, please ensure to provide solutions/indicate way
forward on the topic. Do not just agree/disagree.
# Avoid cancellations on the answer sheet and maintain a neat
writing.
# Lastly CONTENT overrides VOLUME/QUANTITY.
If any queries do write back. (Thanks Mr.K)

hello frenz,

I am not getting what to write..under this topic...pplz suggest something
Ultimately, all conflicts revolve around economics

Conflict is the struggle between opposing forces for victory or supremacy
It is the result of clashing of common interests. And what is that common interest : it is power;superiority so whatever brings that is the root cause of conflict. Wealth has always been a distinguishing factor. It is backed by two pshycological factors firstly greed and secondly jealous .
It is rather appropriate to say that the hunger for power and authority is the basic factor and not economics which is actually …….

Hi All,

Have doubly ckecked with the Admissions office and assure all the GIM does not take Essays into account. They only take the XAT score for the same. So don get too much bogged by the essay.

Best of Luck to All,

Saurav
