This prose work is a small volume of reasoning with a free composition, expressing individual impressions and considerations on a specific occasion or socially significant problem and obviously not claiming to be an exhaustive interpretation of the subject. An essay is a genre of criticism and journalism, a free interpretation of a problem. As a rule, an essay assumes a new, subjectively colored word about something and can have a philosophical, historical-biographical, journalistic, literary-critical, popular science, or fiction character.
A student's essay is an independent written work on a topic proposed by the teacher (the topic can also be proposed by the student, but must be agreed with the teacher). The purpose of the essay is to develop the skills of independent creative thinking and writing your own thoughts. The main function of the essay is to form the sociological imagination of students. This ability allows you to correlate the knowledge gained in the learning process with the changes taking place in the surrounding world, in society.
In order to understand certain realities, the attitude of people to them, it is not enough for a specialist to know the postulates of the theory, to understand its methodological principles. It is necessary to show extraordinary thinking, special interest in those problems that for an ordinary observer do not deserve attention. For the student, the ability to see more meaningful meanings behind the usual ones is necessary.
Writing an essay is extremely useful, because it allows the author to learn how to clearly and competently formulate thoughts, structure information, use the main categories of analysis, identify cause-and-effect relationships, illustrate concepts with appropriate examples, argue their conclusions; master the scientific style of speech.
