Writing Essays That Are Not Power-To-Glory

Writing Essays That Are Not Power-To-GloryMany students, in their struggle to create essay topics that they think are most effective and interesting, will follow these instructions: 'if you want to write an essay about a subject with no thesis, then use the argument from history'. I will not go into the pros and cons of this approach in this short article. We will discuss why this approach is invalid. In any case, I will point out the flaws in this approach, which will make it much more difficult to write successful essays on any topic in any field.Power-To-Gloria This is the 'G' word that many students do not know how to get out of their system. It is related to the power of words and phrases, and how strong they are. A 'power-to-glory' approach to essay topics is usually written from a student's ego or 'to be the best' perspective.To not write fabulous essay topics, one must avoid writing 'to be the best' essays. One must question what makes the best essay. After writing an essay a bout one subject, that topic is not the best in the world. Since there is no conclusion to the subject, the best that can be said about the topic is that it is interesting and not necessarily great.Power-To-Gloria is related to the content, as it relates to essay topics. Essay topics should not be created with this model. There is only one form of content and that is power-to-glory.Power-To-Glory is often in direct conflict with content. There is no content to the essay topics, so one can't talk about the topic, which is what the power-to-glory model seeks to do. Power-To-Glory creates bland, uninteresting, tedious and wordy essays.In order to avoid the pitfalls, it is necessary to develop the new skill of developing ideas for topics, and writing the concepts. Although topic ideas are not truly power-to-glory, they can allow the writer to explore topics in a mature and responsible manner.Controversial Questions One important aspect of essay topics is to avoid topics that are too con troversial. However, sometimes one must ask controversial questions.Although it is not very productive to ask, 'who is to blame', or 'what was the real cause', the use of controversial essays may be necessary to uncover the real answer. Asking questions that are related to power-to-glory can reveal useful information about the topic, such as how specific techniques for power-to-glory relate to other techniques for content, the psychology of power-to-glory, and how the two concepts are related to each other.
