...Conduct Academic Research Students and professionals both know that conducting accurate, valid, and timely research into academic topics such as history, literature, or anthropology is critical to success in the classroom and at work. Writing the results into a paper is also a major step in the process. Here are some basic steps in performing secondary research. 1. Determine your research topic/question. In some classes, students are told to find a topic; this means the exercise is for the purpose of learning the research process. In other situations, the required topic is clearly indicated from the class, your own work, or your professional needs. Your topic can be aroused from a sense of curiosity, hunch and interest over a particular perceived problem that you feel needed to be filled in the gap of knowledge. 2. Understand the difference between primary and secondary research. a. Primary research means doing original research, meaning that this knowledge doesn't appear in any other paper. You might be reading through original treaties, newspaper articles, or authentic letters from authors or statesmen. You might be conducting scientific, medical or engineering experiments. b. Secondary research, the focus of this wikiHow article, means reading other experts' published papers to learn something new about your topic, to survey what others have said and written about it, to reach a conclusion about your ideas on the topic. 3. Determine your scope and time line...

What do you think when you read claims in a newspaper or magazine that seem to be unsubstantiated? . When I read an unsubstantiated claim in a newspaper or magazines that seem to be an unsubstantiated claim. I feel angry and sad for people who may believe these claims. I usually don’t believe it before doing a research about it. Furthermore, a lot of questions come to my mind, why the writer makes this claim without proof, or stating the source. I think that writers should not make an unsubstantiated claim about products, or any other services without backup or reliable sources. 2. How do you approach research? . I usually approach research by critical inquiry. I start by defining a challenging research questions. Next, I consider the rhetorical situation of the research such as, the audience, purpose and scope. Moreover, I begin by conducting a library and web based research. I would gather information, and evaluate a variety of reliable sources. Then, I create a research plan, and draft my paper. Overall, my approach to research is basically reading, thinking critically, gathering information, and taking notes and then evaluating them. 3. What are your biggest challenges in doing research? .

...Sexuality Research Paper Introduction: The question of sexuality is on that needs that needs thorough analysis in order to determine the implication brought about by the depiction of sex and sexuality through the use of print media. The depiction of human sexuality can be separated into two parts, male and female sexuality. These two forms vary according to the differences in the gender of the persons involved. Objective: The main objective of this paper is to study, keenly, the research methods used in two literatures, and to provide an analysis of the literatures on sexual imagery. The two literatures were compiled by different people to show how various forms of male and female sexuality are constructed in different publications. The two articles are similar because they both talk about the depiction of women in various forms of print advertisements especially in magazines. However, as Sexuality focuses mostly on the sexuality and people’s view of sex, as well as, their feelings and preferences in sex, The European Journal of Marketing, focuses mostly on the picture of women that is painted representing women as either sexual objects or feminine sexual goddesses.

The consumers nowadays required more of product customization and short product life cycles. With these demands, manufacturing companies are force to process a high variety of products in low volumes and with short delivery times. In lieu of these, manufacturing process should have the efficiency of a line flow and flexibility of a job shop. One way to cope with these kind of needs are through the automated manufacturing environments. These consist of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines. CNC Machines have the capability of processing several manufacturing operations and provide the required flexibility in an efficient manner. It is usually use in the metal – working industry. It is equipped with a limited – capacity tool magazine and can automatically change tools between operations in slight time. However, during the changing of tool in the magazine, it must be loaded carefully to best utilize the machine’s flexibility. Set – up time of loading tool magazine is considered long and accounting for a lot of percentage in production time. Because of this, there is a need to reduce the number of tool – magazine setups in order also to reduce...

Given the broad history of Christianity, one can imagine the difficulty in summarizing the basics of Christian theology. Though the scope of this paper is not to inform the reader of historical data and information regarding theological foundations, a foundation must be laid down in order to fully understand the content within. An in depth definition and brief history of pastoral theology will be presented in order to provide clarification for the topic of this paper. Among Christians, mainly from the realm of seminary and other educational settings, Charles H. Spurgeon is commonly known as the “Prince of Preachers.” The impact that C.H. Spurgeon has had on modern day Christianity is legendary and all aspects of his pastoral ministry should be studied and fully understood. It is the intent of this research paper to educate, investigate and solidify the question that still remains, what was the specific theological foundation for Charles H....
