Contemporary Writing / Analytical Expository writing.

This is not a PERSUASIVE ESSAY.

Here you need to analyse your prompt to see what issues on Justice it [the prompt] addresses and

explore these ideas and draw conclusions from your analysis which are then proved with examples

from the text. I have tried to put this in sequence so you can see step by step how to analyse.

1. Break down the key /content words

J u s tice can n ot p reva il if th e h u m a n ity of ea ch in dividu a l is n ot a ckn owledged .

2. Define them for better understanding

Preva il t r iu m ph

Hu m a n ity h u m a n n ess

a ckn owledged . recogn ized

3. Look at the relationship of the words in the statement to get an overall understanding

So ju s tice ca n n ot t r iu m ph if th e h u m a n s ta te , th a t n a tu ra lly p rovides r igh ts to th e

in dividu a l, is n ot recogn ized .

4. Now ask yourself what are these rights.

Th e r igh t to m a ke ch oices

Th e r igh t to be t rea ted fa ir ly rega rd les s of ra ce , creed , colou r or gen der

Th e r igh t to be p rotected d id la ws of th e lan d offer p rotection to a ll a ga in s t

h a rm

5. Now look at these and match them to the texts by asking the following questions

Were people a llowed to m a ke ch oices for th em s elves or were th ey bein g

d icta ted to?

o KR Ta ilba n en forced religiou s ba s ed ru les an d regu la t ion s

o RPF a borigin e ch ild ren forced in to in s t itu t ion s to lea rn wh ite

Were people bein g t rea ted fa ir ly, rega rdles s of ra ce, creed , colou r or gen der?

[What I have given here are some of the possibilities, there are many more rights and examples that

may be looked at.

6. Looking at all these now formulate the TS with the PD.

7. Use of key words when you are writing.

Ju s tice cannot prevail if the hu manity of each individu al is not acknowledged

firs tly, in their right to make choices for thems elves , s econdly, in their right to be

treated fairly and las t bu t not leas t in their right to be protected by the law of the

land.

8. Now write the introduction by first explaining what you understand by the concept of justice

and how it links to our humanness. Explain why this humanness of the individual needs to be

recognized if justice is to triumph. From bring in the TS and PD to conclude your discussion.

9. Now use the first point in your PD th eir r igh t to m a ke ch oices for th em s elves

Explore the idea of where this right comes from and why it is an injustice when this right is

taken away

a. Explain your understanding

b. How it works

c. Explain this idea by using the example from the text

10. Do the same with the second and third points in the PD.

11. Last paragraph is your conclusion

Our differences matter but our common humanity matters more.
