NUS Essay Please help Post Mon Jan 30, 2012 2:36 pm
Name one current issue (economic / social / political) that Asia is facing and identify a couple of strategies that you feel may adequately address the issue. [300-word limit]
Hi Jon,Could you please advise as to how should we approach this essay.Do we pick up any issue affecting an Asian country or must the issue affect the entire Asia.Asia is so big that an issue affecting 1 corner of it(Japan , China,Korea) hardly creates ripples at the other end of it(Middle East,Israel,Palestine). I am not an economist ,so how profound should the strategies i suggest be.In such cases how can someone manage to be original.one has to refer to editorials,news,magazines & acquire some knowledge of the issue.This knowledge will obviously taint his approach to this essay.

A good question: First of all I would say start with an issue in which YOU know something. You don't have to be a genius or a macroeconomist to have ideas and opinions. And likely if it affects your field or industry you might know more about it. Plus it always is a nice idea to try and connect yourself to the story! Other than that I would say you can pick a regional issue or single-country issue at will.
