Let me start this article with a brief description of evaluating essay. Right away it should be mentioned that evaluation essay has some similarities with other kinds of essays like analytical or argumentative essay. Still, you should know how these types of essays can be distinguished and what the main distinctive features they have.

The main thing about evaluation essay is that you should choose a topic on which you do not have any special position. If you want to write your evaluation essay on a topic that you have a particular opinion about, your main task in this case is to stay impartial and reasonable.

In evaluation essay you should not try to impose your personal viewpoint. You just need to describe positive and negative sides of the object, weigh the pros and cons. Sure you can state your position but make it unobtrusively.

The objects for evaluation essay are numerous. It can be any movie, book, article or event. It can be evaluation of somebody’s actions or work. In this article I suggest you to evaluate modern spiritual values. So, what can it be about?

  • First, you should choose a certain spiritual value. Let it be honesty, integrity, disinterestedness or any other value that you think is important.
  • Like everything in the world, even spiritual values have some negative sides. So, you should describe the advantages and disadvantages of your chosen value. Give the examples of situations when this particular spiritual value can be negative.
  • Make an evaluation of the present situation. Think whether there are many people who really possess this spiritual value.

I think it is an interesting topic to be discussed in your evaluation essay. Unfortunately today people are more concerned about some materialistic problems and values but perhaps the modern world presupposes it.
