Social Studies Essay Plan
To write a correct paper, you need to follow the given points:
- Make an introduction.
- Write the theoretical part.
- The first argument and its explanation.
- Second argument and its explanation.
- Conclusion.
There is no minimum number of words that must be written in an essay, so you can write a paper of any length.
Introduction
In this paragraph (first paragraph) you need to formulate one of the ideas of the statement you have chosen and explain its meaning.
Example:
- “Budgeting is the art of evenly distributing disappointments.” (M. Stans). – This is a quote from economics that talks about the state budget (idea), its meaning is that the mood of the population of the state depends on how and where the expenditure item of this budget is distributed (the meaning of the quote).
Thus, you need to work with any statement, defining its idea and revealing its meaning.
For introduction you can use the following cliches :
- In his statement/quote (author’s full name) he talks about...
- The meaning of her/his words is as follows: ...
These are universal sentences that will fit any statement.
BUT! The social science essay is changing, and, according to new criteria, you need to write about an idea , not a problem. also no need to write about relevance, because this is an outdated template that irritates most experts.
Theoretical part
At this point, you need to prove the first paragraph based on theoretical knowledge, that is, bring at least 3 concepts related to this idea, reveal their meaning, connect them with each other and with the chosen topic. Please note that you not only need to write definitions of concepts, but also explain them, speculate about their connection, their relationship to the idea.
Also, there is no need to write unnecessary concepts that have nothing to do with the chosen topic, that is, if you are writing about the state budget, then take the concept related to it - the state budget itself, its revenue and expenditure parts, the ways in which money is distributed, sources of income, etc.
There are no clichés for this part, but you can start the paragraph with the words: “To confirm this idea, let's turn to theory.”
First and second arguments
Many students have big problems with this part, because sometimes it can be difficult to give two examples from different sources. But you always need to be more cunning, because you can come up with the sources of arguments yourself.
For example, we have an idea about the role of taxes in the state. first argument concerns any developed country with high taxes. Let's say Sweden. And we can start it with the words:
- “An example to confirm this idea is an article that I read in the source (name of a newspaper, magazine, TV channel, etc.)” Next, we describe the situation with taxes in Sweden and draw a mini-conclusion about high taxes and their impact on the level of development of the country.
As a second example, we can cite a backward country that has minimal taxes, but the standard of living is also very low, for example, Nicaragua or Zimbabwe. And we begin our second argument :
- “In addition, from the school course (geography, history, social studies, life safety and others) I know about such a country with...”. Next, we describe the situation of a poor country and connect it with low taxes.
Please note that the arguments have a similar structure, but since we indicated different sources, it easily receives 2 points for this criterion.
The main thing is to indicate the exact name of the source, do not say that you just heard it, but write the specific name where exactly.
Conclusion
There is no criterion that relates to the conclusion, but this does not mean that the conclusion does not need to be written. You can end with arguments, but this will not make your essay seem complete and cohesive, so it’s worth writing a conclusion.
In this paragraph, you simply summarize everything written above using the following clichés :
- “Thus, both examples given once again prove...”

PART 2
Read the text and complete tasks 21–24.
It is in the field of private law that the freedom of an individual, autonomous person is revealed in its pure form and true meaning. These are not dosed “pieces of independence” for which an official gives permission. And this is not freedom, not a field of permissiveness, since before us is still an area of law where the general legal order and the requirements of legality operate<...> Freedom in the field of private law is the complete and sovereign independence of an individual, expressed in his autonomous and protected status subject of law and in his possession of protected subjective rights.
At the same time, both of them (both the status of a subject of law and subjective rights) have the character of legal phenomena based on an absolute order, i.e. they open up space for one’s own, discretionary behavior and in this regard, in principle, exclude and do not allow anyone to interfere in this own “sphere of freedom.” <…>
The originality of private law is clearly manifested when it is compared with public law (the first is characterized by legal equality and coordination; the second is characterized by the “power-subordination” relationship, subordination). If we turn to a comparison of private law with the central category of public law - state power, then phenomena of a truly paradoxical order are revealed.
After all, private law provides individual citizens, their associations, and organizations acting as legal entities with the opportunity to be “their own master” in a certain range of relationships. <…> At the same time, it is assumed or directly declared that in relation to relations of this kind, state power, as it were, remains on the sidelines; it does not have the right to arbitrarily interfere in private law relations.
State power, by its nature “set up” to interfere in the relations surrounding it, is rejected (let’s say, more roughly, expelled) from the abode of the dominance of private wills and private interests.
At the same time, the actions of subjects as private individuals performed in this area are contracts, unilateral acts of the owner, etc. – acquire the “realest”, “full-blooded” legal meaning. The state, which was initially “expelled” from this circle of relations, is now obliged - isn’t it a paradox? – recognize private law relations, protect them by all legal means and implement them using the entire system of its coercive bodies and means.
(According to S.S. Alekseev)
Task 21
What definition of freedom in the field of private law is given in the text? What actions of the state, in the author’s opinion, allow contracts, unilateral acts of the owner, etc. acquire the “realest”, “full-blooded” legal meaning? (Name any two actions.) What does the author call the central category of public law?
Answer
The correct answer must contain the following elements: 1) the answer to the first question: the complete and sovereign independence of an individual, expressed in his autonomous and protected status as a subject of law and in his possession of protected subjective rights; 2) the answer to the second question, for example: – recognize private law relations; – protect them by all legal means; – implement with the help of the entire system of its compulsory bodies and means; (The answer to the second question is counted only if two or more actions from those indicated in the text are indicated.)
3) the answer to the third question: state power. Elements of the answer can be presented either in the form of quotations or in the form of a condensed reproduction of the main ideas of the relevant text fragments.
Task 22
Using social science knowledge, explain the meaning of the concept of “subjective rights”. How does the author explain the fact that both the status of a subject of law and subjective rights have the character of legal phenomena based on an absolute order? How does he characterize the difference between private and public law?
Answer
The correct answer must contain the following elements: 1) an explanation, for example: a measure of a person’s possible behavior in relation to the realization of his legitimate interests; (Another explanation may be given.) 2) the answer to the first question: they open up space for their own, discretionary behavior, and do not allow anyone to interfere in this own “sphere of freedom”; 3) the answer to the second question, for example: private law is characterized by legal equality and coordination; public law – relations “power - subordination”, subordination). ( The answer to the second question is counted only if the difference is indicated.)
The features of only public/private law given by the examinee without indicating the corresponding feature of private/public law are not counted for the assessment.
(Answers to questions can be presented both in the form of quotes and in the form of a condensed reproduction of the main ideas of the corresponding text fragments)
Task 23
Name any three subjective rights of citizens as subjects of private law relations and illustrate with examples the implementation of each of these rights. (In each case, first name the law, then give a corresponding example. Each example should be formulated in detail.)
Answer
The correct answer should name three subjective rights and illustrate the implementation of each of these rights with examples, for example: 1) the right to protect one’s honor, good name and business reputation (for example, a newspaper published an article containing unverified facts about the work of a well-known person in the city doctor; the doctor exercised the right to protect his business reputation and went to court); 2) the right of private property (for example, Peter purchased a plot of land from a gardening partnership, built a house, and rests there on weekends); 3) authorship (intellectual property) (for example, Mikhail Mikhailovich wrote a novel that was published in a publishing house; as the author of the work, in accordance with the contract, he receives remuneration and holds meetings with readers).

Task 26
Using three examples, show the limitations of such a factor of production as labor, and possible ways to overcome it. (In each case, first give an example, then indicate the corresponding method of overcoming. Each example should be formulated in detail.)
Answer
The following examples can be given: 1) In region Z, oil and gas are produced. Due to the low population density, work has to be organized on a rotational basis. 2) In country A, with a low birth rate, the share of the population of retirement and pre-retirement age is already about 40% of all residents. Under these conditions, large firms began to transfer their production to other countries or attract foreign workers. 3) In region S, the local population considers unskilled work to be unprestigious, so to perform it it is necessary to attract workers from other regions. Other examples may be given. Only examples formulated in detail are counted (individual words and phrases are not counted as examples)
Task 27
In State Z, the latest communication technologies and services are being developed, innovations are being introduced, a transition to digital technologies is taking place at all levels of production activity, and the role of science and education in the life of society is increasing.
