...formed about how men express emotional behaviors just like women. This research was done using the one topic that segregates men from women that is their choices. When it comes to choosing novels it is assumed in most cases that women prefer thrillers and romantic genre while men prefer more mystery genre but through my research I have come to conclusions with the fact that the novel choices of men are less emotional when compared to women but there are a few cases of exceptions. The purpose of this research paper was to find out whether females still read more emotional centered novels than males using survey techniques. Key Terms: Emotions, Gender, Novels This research was conducted for the purpose of understanding human behaviors and gender stereotypes within those behaviors. Emotions are an important aspect for humans to make judgments and choices (Huebner, Dwyer, & Hauser, 2009) hence my research will be based on the choices we make and whether gender plays a role in it or not. Objectives Primary Objective: * To find out whether there are male students who choose emotional novels as compared to females in Manipal University, Dubai. Also, whether females do not choose to read emotional novels regardless of the general stereotype of their emotional behavior. Secondary Objective: * To find out what genres of novels the students of Manipal University prefer * To find out their favorite novelists * To find out which sex reads the most number of novels ...

...of stages of writing and reading because some years I liked to read and write but other years I didn’t like it. I liked reading short stories, poems, and nonfiction books but I didn’t like historical stories, research, or long books. I’ve never a finished a book until high school because I never found a book I liked considering I never tried since I didn’t have an interest in reading. Although, now I can say I like to read if I find the right book when i use to say that i hated reading. The youngest I remember writing was in 6th grade when I would write letters to my dad. I wrote letters to my dad after my parents got divorced since I didn’t get to see my dad from it. My letters would be about how much I missed him, how school was going, and how things were different. I wrote...

...Term Paper Proposal For the term paper proposal I have decided to write on the second topic, the company study. I choose this because I have always been intrigued by entrepreneurs who start out with nothing and turn their dream into something big. It is very inspiring to me to read about the success stories of some of my favorite brands and companies, finding out how stores that I shop in everyday got their start. So it seemed to me that if I had to study a company I would step outside of my comfort zone where I’m usually doing research on retailers such as Chanel and Dolce and Gabbana that I would try something new, and hence I came up with the idea to study the company of Wal-mart. Wal-mart is a store that everyone can say they have shopped in at least once in their lifetime; it’s even become an international company. From doing this research I really hope to learn the history of the Walton family and how they got started and how they managed to get to the place that they are in now. I plan to use sources from the internet and book sources that relate to the family as well as the brand. The success story of Wal-mart has always been one of interest to me and it will be an interesting topic to research and write about. I hope to also get a behind the scene look at the proper way of operation a business from an entrepreneur standpoint as this will help me someday when I plan to open my own company. I look forward to knowledge, tips, and information I will gather by the time...

... therefore I am crazy athletic. During high school I was lucky to win MVP on the softball team all 4 years of attending my high school. All kinds of sports interests me really. I currently work at Strawberry Hill USA in Chesnee, South Carolina as an Ice Cream Scooper. Trust me I’m not complaining, we get free ice cream! My favorite subject in school is math, and following would have to be science. I hope to major in Health Care Administration and minor in Business Administration. I am a very energetic and outgoing person. I like to have a good time when I’m involved in any kind of activity; you’ll very rarely see me in a bad mood. I like to live on edge, such as going camping in extravagant places, get spontaneous tattoos and piercings, and even cliff jumping. I hope to go sky diving very soon. My family is very important to me; they’re always there for me when I need them. I’m a very creative person; so writing off the top of my head comes easy to me. When it comes to more research based papers, I do tend to struggle with citing my references properly. I like writing analytical papers about fiction based stories or short narratives that interest me. Usually, if I don’t like the topic I am writing about, I have hostilities with typing a well-written paper. No one likes to go out of their way to write a paper, but when I do I would really like to enjoy writing about the topic provided. This problem typically determines whether I strive to get an A on the essay or...

...sounded like they'd be useful when writing a paper on the topic. The first two that I chose to visit were findarticles.com and wiki.answers.com. Wiki.answers.com literally gave a one sentence definition of what is believed to be academic dishonesty. Findarticles.com gave a short and simple description on academic dishonesty in online courses and provided a few links to articles about academic dishonesty. Those articles gave very little information on plagiarism and other terms defining academic dishonesty. One of the articles only informed a person about using correct citations in a paper and it was only six to eight sentences long. As with google.com, ask.com provided many links to many different colleges and academic institutions. I'm looking for academic integrity, not links to colleges, or links to different colleges' guidelines on their ideas on academic integrity (although they could somewhat prove to be useful). One thing that I was hoping for were statistics (real case studies) on academic dishonesty in higher learning. I did a search using ask.com for statistics on academic dishonesty. A lot of data was found, but it's accuracy is undetermined for most of the websites provided. Within a library or an academic online library, I know that the information provided is going to be from professionals and individuals who are evaluated by their peers in the same profession. I will be able to find published articles, papers, and books with guaranteed...

...Clapton, The Beatles, and The Eagles. These artists are some of my Dad’s favorite, so therefore I learned a lot about them from him; however, he has never been a fan of The Who. Therefore, I was rather excited when I was assigned a research paper on The Who; a band who I really knew nothing about before American Popular Music. In the following paper, I will provide details about The Who’s individual band members’ lives, as well as information in relation to the band in general. The Who had four main members: Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon. In addition to being the band’s guitarist, Pete Townshend took on the roll as the primary song writer. The most interesting fact I found about Townshend, is that he owns his own book publishing company. He actually published a book of his own called “Horse’s Neck” which consisted of a variety of short stories. Townshend has maintained a musical interest throughout his life, even after The Who broke up in 1983 (The Who Official Band Website). Roger Daltrey has always been a passionate musician; to the point where he even designed many of the bands guitars (The Who Official Band Website). Recently, Daltrey’s passion for music resurfaced. According to Mayer Nissim, a reporter for Digital Spy, “Roger Daltrey has confirmed that he is to tour The Who's 1969 album Tommy in full.” This article is from April 27th, 2011. Through further research, I found that the band had joined again in 2006 and released their first...

...The Research Log This is only the third time I’ve asked for an assignment like this in English 205, so I want to tell you why I think it's valuable as well as give you a few guidelines for putting it together. In all the other classes I teach (literature and creative writing and other composition classes), I ask students to keep journals, informal writing projects that continue through the semester. Journals have always been my favorite things to read and respond to, because they’re much more like conversations than formal writing assignments: I always stress that I don’t care about grammar mistakes or misspelled words, just ideas and opinions – and when I comment, I give my ideas and opinions back! Often, the lack of format and structure frees people to write really interesting things, things they can then develop into more formal essays if they want. They’re not just “diaries,” because the things people write are related to what we’re doing in class; it’s just that they can use the relative freedom to rant, or reflect, or wonder, or . . . anything they want! I know, as a writer, that the things I’m most proud of have pretty spontaneous beginnings, so I always want to give students opportunities to start wherever they are – wherever that is – and move along from there. But I hadn’t asked people to do that in English 205. I was intimidated, a little, by the “outcomes” of this class, to write formal argumentative essays with proper MLA citation format; at first glance, there...

...Putting Thoughts to Paper For several years in school, I dreaded writing academic papers because I found many of the topics monotonous, provoking little desire in me to work hard. The writing process intimidated me because I was often unaware as to where I should begin a paper and once I did, how I should develop my thoughts in an effective manner. My appreciation of writing, both academically and artistically, did not surface until my sophomore year in high school. When I transferred from public to private school, I realized that my writing skills were not as strongly developed as many of my fellow classmates. This feeling of inadequacy motivated me to seek help from my teachers and peers. By the end of first semester sophomore year, my...

...Plagiarism and Paraphrasing Rebecca Beck Walden University Plagiarism and Paraphrasing According to Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, to “plagiarize” is “to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own, to use (another's production) without crediting the source, to commit literary theft, to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source” (p. 946) and to “paraphrase” is “a restatement of a text, passage, or work giving the meaning in another form, the use or process of paraphrasing in studying or teaching composition” (p. 899). One can write in a scholarly voice while maintaining academic integrity through conscientious and meticulous efforts. Effective paraphrasing, proper citation of sources, and citation of one’s self are three ways students can insure their academic integrity. Paraphrasing isn’t simply changing a few words in the information you are trying to convey. To paraphrase effectively, one must restate the information in such a way that it is in your own words. Sometimes, you may have to borrow words or phrases because the author worded them in such a way that you can’t really convey the message without using them. It is okay to do this as long as you give proper credit to the author and their work. Using quotation marks will show that you took that information directly from the original piece of work, and properly citing the information will give credibility to your writing while giving credit...

...I face a lot of challenges when it comes to creating an acceptable paper. I have a negative outlook on my writing, I write a lot of cliche things, fragment sentences are my weakness, my vocabulary is poor, and I over think what is wanted from what I write. Struggling with this introduction, for instance, is one of my major weaknesses. A lot more work goes into it than there seems. I have to think “Did I capture the attention? Does my audience know where I’m going with this paper? Is it enough to make them curious to read more?” In the beginning of the semester, my introduction basically went straight into the paper like it was the first body paragraph. It was a confusing surprise. I’ve since worked on my introductions so they give more explanation toward the overall reason for the paper. Even if it’s not the best you’ve ever read, I’m more aware of why it’s not and that there are ways to strengthen it. I’d like to believe because of how self-aware I...

...General Introduction This THESIS LECTURE NOTE & GUIDE is meant to teach MBA students on the rudiments of research method as a major course in the MBA programme and at the same time serve as a guide and to assist them to successfully complete their Research Methods Examinations and thesis project without difficulty. HOW ARE TOPICS SELECTED OR DEVELOPED? You should not be surprised if a professor gives you a perturbed look or cringes when you tell him/her that you have no idea of what you would like to pursue as a thesis topic. Why might your professor react this way? Because there are potentially hundreds of topics or research questions that can be pursued and your professor is anticipating your next question, which is usually, "Do you have any suggestions?" In addition, the topic is one that is chosen by you, not your advisor, and thus, the responsibility of constructing possible topics is the student's. In essence, your thesis topic should not just be chosen and that's it! The topic must be explored, developed, and assessed. Is it an original one? Is the purpose to replicate previous research? Is the research feasible in terms of access to data, cost, time, and effort? Does anybody care about the topic you have in mind? If you have a topic in mind you might ask yourself these questions: --Does it suit your interests and possible career objectives? --Does it fit your background and experience? --Are you willing to commit the next 6 months (or longer)...
