Can someone give a sample essay?

Can someone give a sample essay on the following topics? Many thanks.


AI-B5. Public figures should avoid expressing opinions about things that they have not personally experienced or been directly affected by.

AI-A40: To encourage successful cooperation and collaboration among employees, companies should give salary raises and bonuses to teams rather than to individuals

I really have no idea on how to address those problems.

I don't know have any sample essays for those questions. However, most MBA application questions are about your personal experiences and not about hypothetical situations. If you do have to answer that type of question then a sample essay probably would not help much since the goal would be to see how logically you think and how your personal philosophy influences your answer.

Those sound more like questions for analysis of an issue on the GMAT than questions on an application for B-school.
