...Three Parts of an Academic Writing By: Novita Paradise Academic writing is the type of writing that students are expected to produce in response to content they learn about in an academic setting; for instance, school. It’s how they formally join the “scholarly conversation.” And it can begin at a very young age, when a child writes a report about a book he has read or a topic she/he has learned about. It is not a personal experience, nor a story, nor merely a description. Academic writing tells us what the writer thinks and what evidence has contributed to that thinking. The evidence can include the writer’s personal experiences, information found in other books or sources, or information gleaned from talking with others such as a parent or expert. Knowing how to write academic essay is essential for developing good composition skills. It gives the author an easy format for clear organization and explanation of a topic. Many literature and composition classes require academic essays because of the simplicity and clarity they bring to a specific topic and that is why understanding academic essay is important. Academic essay consists of three parts—the introduction, the body, and the conclusion—and each part plays a role that is vital to the structure and presentation of the essay. The introduction sets the foundation of the paper and is concluded with the thesis statement, which is what the rest of the paper will address. The introduction consists of one paragraph following...

...Cole Evans September 24th, 2014 12 Part Essay College Writing I Prof. Stockwell A New Era ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- “The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings.” Dave Weinbaum One Last Wake Up Call The sharp sound of my mother’s voice cut through my shield of sleep, abruptly jerking me awake. “Cole! Wake up!” Any other morning my usual routine would be to just completely ignore her, pull the pillow over my head and roll back to sleep, but this wasn’t just any other morning. This morning was determined as the end of my childhood and the start of my collegiate career and, evidently, the rest of my life. The sound of my mother’s voice filled me with both a sense of melancholy and excitement. I was about to leave everything that I had ever known behind and strike out on my own. The events of this day had been played out over and over again in my mind for months now, but little did I know that things rarely happen how you expect them to. Being the first to arrive at the dorm means getting the pick of the litter in regards to which bed I wanted. I chose the one by the window. That first day of college was nothing more than an exhausting blur. Everything I experienced was completely new; every building, every face, every name. I didn’t know anybody, and by the end of the day I could barely even remember my own name, let alone the names of the people I was supposed to...

...Philosophical Essay Part 1 5. Socrates asks Euthyphro, “Are morally good acts willed by God because they are morally good, or are they morally good because they are willed by God?” (1) How does this question relate to the Divine Command Theory of morality? (2) What are the philosophical implications associated with each option here? Divine command theory is widely held to be refuted by an argument known as “the Euthyphro dilemma”. This argument is named after Plato’s Euthyphro dialogue, which contains the inspiration for the argument, though not, as is sometimes thought, the argument itself. The Euthyphro dilemma rests on a modernised version of the question asked by Socrates in the Euthyphro: “Are morally good acts willed by God because they are morally good, or are they morally good because they are willed by God?” Each of these two possibilities, the argument runs, leads to consequences that the divine command theorist cannot accept. Whichever way the divine command theorist answers this question, then, it seems that his theory will be refuted. This argument might be formalised as follows: The Euthyphro Dilemma (1) If divine command theory is true then either (i) morally good acts are willed by God because they are morally good, or (ii) morally good acts are morally good because they are willed by God. (2) If (i) morally good acts are willed by God because they are morally good, then they are morally good independent of God’s will. (3) It is not the case that...

Also as relates to the variables outcome. (Polit & Beck 2008).

...their studies and daily life. Some might think about part time jobs and the income from it as a solution to these hardships which is right, but that is not the only benefit of part time jobs. For years part time jobs have been used as a teaching model preparing students for the real outside world apart from their studies. There are another three reasons why it will bring many benefits for teenagers if they take up part time jobs while they are students. Firstly, students can learn to make the most out of the cash that they earn from the part time jobs because they will not willingly waste it. Wiser choices shall be made when buying goods as the money they are using is hardly earned money themselves and would not wish to waste it on some junk but use it for only the most necessary and essential goods.

...Population Health, Part 2 Tobacco Use as Behavioral Risk Factor and its Impact With the rising expenditure of healthcare, focus should be on health promotion. The expenses for health promotion and disease prevention are much lesser than the treatment of a disease. According to Hancock and Cooper (2011), to create a healthy nation it is important that the easy and obvious choices available to people are also the healthy choices. Unhealthy Lifestyle and poor health habits can be considered as a direct or indirect cause of the rise in healthcare expenses. Tobacco use is the behavioral risk factor that I selected since it is an important population health issue in today’s world. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2014), more than 480,000 deaths are caused in the United States (US) by cigarette smoking which is about one in five deaths and smoking is the cause of about 90% of lung cancer deaths and about eight out of ten deaths due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is caused by smoking. The results of a survey to monitor youth risk behavior surveillance in the US in 2011 revealed that 18.1% high school students had smoked cigarette within 30 days...

...EN 101. A process essay is a document of one’s procedures and observations, it can also explain a series of steps and events. In order to write a proper essay, is crucial to for the paper to contain a clear and firm thesis or purpose. This essay contains a narrative called, “Stripped for Parts.” Published by Jennifer Kahn, a graduate of Princeton and the University of California. Kahn’s purpose of writing this article was to enlighten the people of today’s society of the hazardous process of an organ transplant harvest procedure. A majority people assume that harvesting organs is a simple task, Kahn even mentioned early on in her documentation that she expected the procedure to be a fast paced surgery that would immediately heal the patient miraculously. When she observed the process and came into the realization that it was an extremely complicated procedure, it was almost as if Kahn felt as if she had a duty or responsibility to bring light to the subject. Kahn tried to get in touch with the audience’s emotions by stating a quote from a surgeon she interviewed, Charles Murray, “You tell yourself it’s for a good cause, which it is, a very good cause, but you’re still...

...The third part of the soul, contrary to the other two parts (the calculation and the appetitive part of the souls), Socrates carries out the desires that reason orders. Socrates, then, attempts to show that spirit cannot be the object of reason because it sometimes acts when reason is non-apparent. For example, he says “for that much one can see in children, that they are from their very birth chock-full of rage and high spirit, but as for reason, some of them… never participate in it...” – he states that children have desires of the third part without the reasoning part of the soul (AGP, 477, 441A,B). Because of his argument and example, Socrates shows that the third part is not the same as the rational part of the soul; the third part of...

...Part 2: The standards that I would use based on New York State for my centers is having children actively engage in art by using the resources and materials available to them. Another state standard I would use is standard 7- Interdisciplinary Problem Solving. This standard will help children by teaching them how to make decisions, problem solve, work effectively, realize ideas, and gather and process information. Another standard I would us is Standard 2- Providing a safe and Healthy environment for children. These standards contribute to early childhood programming because it is important to provide children with a safe, nurturing, happy environment in order for them to grow and develop. Having children actively engaging in the arts allows...

...“The book is widely taught in high school across the country because of it’s appeal to reluctant readers. The Novel addresses vital issues such as the struggles of young adulthood, the search for personal identity,bullying and poverty. It is ultimately an uplifting story of triumph by a boy with few advantages.”Sherman Alexie young-adult book banned in Idaho schools”. The award winning novel “ The Absolutely True Story Of a Part Time Indian” written by Sherman Alexie is banned in Idaho schools. My input on the situation is that it is unnecessary and inarticulate of them to ban the book because of some foul language and actions made in the novel. The reason I think that it is not a good idea is because the actions and foul language does not ensure the purpose of the story.There are many ways at looking at the moral of the story, and paying attention to some of the bad things in the book is a very ignorant way to look at it. In the book the character suffers through depression, bullying, poverty and grief in which he overcomes to have a happy ending with getting his friend back, winning a basketball game and making a...
