October 3, 2018 at 3:20 amCan anyone please guide me on this essay topic: ‘The past’ is a permanent dimension of human consciousness and values.
I’m not able to phrase what all points should be included in this topic. So kindly guide me through this. And also if possible, kindly provide me the model essay on this topic.
Thanking you.
