...After spending countless hours searching the difference between personal essays vs. research papers I found that a research paper addresses a specific question. It is based on research and mainly presents and defends an argument with support of relevant findings. A research paper requires gathering information, developing and organizing ideas and finally putting those ideas into a conclusion and is generally on an average between 3-5 pages long A research paper should have some important points. First of all, the purpose of research should be clear and should not have double meaning. Making it simple and original are two important things to have in your paper. It will help readers be able to understand exactly what your paper is about, it is important to keep the research specific. A research paper should discover a new idea and it should be of interest to others. And research papers also should be truthful, relevant, organized, resourceful and complete. A complete research paper must have some basic requirements. A title page with title of research, author's name, date, and school/university is one of the main requirements of a research paper. Some others are: introduction part: the introduction moves from a broad area of interest to the specific idea, method part: it provides a description of the study, result section: a clear description of findings and a discussion part and the reference part. An essay is a piece of writing, usually from a person’s personal...

...Is it really worthwhile to set up standard working hours in Hong Kong? – Defects of standard working hour system Introduction The standard working hour system is the most commonly implemented working hour system utilized by both developed and developing countries to protect the right of 4employees. As one of the economies in which the employees suffer the longest working hours, Hong Kong is now preparing to introduce the standard working hour system to protect employees. In addition to governments, Mattesini and Quintieri (2006) also consider it as an effective way to lessen the unemployment rate after their study on Italy during the great depression. However, the research of them may be limited. Thus this paper serves to argue that it is unwise for the Hong Kong government to establish the standard working hour system in Hong Kong because of the possible negative influence it may bring, for example, the negative effect on the economy, the increase in production cost, and the ineffectiveness to reduce the unemployment rate. The defects of the standard working hour system Increasing the production cost If standard working hour system is established, thus extra working time beyond the standard working hour is required to produce the same products. These hours could be accomplished by either inflicting overtime work on present workers or hiring additional workers. Either of the two alternatives would create odditional cost for employers. In another aspect, it seems that...

...University of Phoenix and taking GEN200 has helped me refresh my learning abilities, learn some new critical thinking skills and has helped me in taking the beginning steps to achieve success in my education and eventually in my career. Setting long and short term goals is the key to academic success. Creating realistic long term goals such as graduating college gives us something to work towards and creates the ultimate goal. Setting short term goals such as finishing a paper early, getting all of the reading for a class done or getting an A in a class brings us one step closer to achieving the ultimate goal. Short term goals will always help bring us to our long term goal without it becoming overwhelming and working toward that goal one step at a time. One way to help achieve a short term goal of succeeding academically is the writing process. Getting your thoughts on paper, completing research, working on a thesis and outline is a great way to get organized and have a solid foundation for an assignment. Working on some free writing and creating a solid introduction and conclusion will help the rest all fall into place. Eventually this will also apply in your career. Being able to express your ideas and being able to research a topic or idea you need supporting information...

...opportunities? Answer the same questions for USAToday.com. By conducting research and analysis Gannett determined that there were two trends/opportunities that he could take advantage of; one was that an increasingly short attention span among a generation nurtured on television and the other was that there was a growing hunger for more information. With this information Gannet made the newspaper’s primary mission to provide more news in less time. Research suggested that this paper should target achievement-oriented men in professional and management positions who were heavy newspaper readers and frequent travelers. Unlike the other companies/competitors who targeted upper America, Gannett’s company would target middle America- young, well-educated Americans who were on the move and cared about the news and current events. Gannett listened to what the readers wanted and ensured that USA Today would market just that. With this information in hand, Gannett capitalized on it by putting together a team of news, advertising, and production personnel staff from his daily news who developed, edited, published and tested different prototypes. From those prototypes three 40-page versions were sent out to about 5,000 professional people along with a response card for feedback. Marketplace feedback showed that readers liked the prototypes so the Board of Directors voted unanimously to launch the paper starting in the Washington and Baltimore areas. In September 1982, 155,000...

...D.H.D MEDICATION. 1 The Long Term and Short Term Effects Of A.D.H.D Medication. James Sullivan Palomar College CHDV 100 T, TH 9:00-10:50am Abstract This research paper is looking at two articles I looked up online about the long and short term effects of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (A.D.H.D). Both articles have the same data and results. Robinson, Smith and Segal (2011) give good detail and outline various side-effects of several medications as well as many long and short term health Effects. Weathers (2012) also gives various details about side effects and more on long and short term effects. The Long Term and Short Term Effects Of A.D.H.D Medication. There is a lot of controversy about ADHD medications about the possible health risks with using certain stimulants such as Ritalin, Adderall and Dexedrine. Robinson, Smith and Segal (2011) research shows that these medications can have negative effects on brain development, heart problems, psychiatric problems, and a potential for abuse. In this paper I will be discussing these issues in depth. Weathers (2012) also states in their research that certain medications can lead to unhealthy heart problems, height problems, facial tics and high blood pressure. This paper will discus the research of Robinson et al.’s on the health effects as well as the research of Weathers. So the questions that are going to be discussed...

...ranging between 9.5% and 11.5% (Deutsche Bundesbank) with almost 39 million people employed all over the country (see appendix 2). Until the beginning of 2003, the governmental support to unemployed people consisted of three main patterns: unemployment insurance, unemployment assistance, and supplementary social welfare. Supporting these three pillars, Germany was suffering high costs with long-term unemployment benefits, low job acceptance rate and bigger proportion of low-skilled labor. Between 2003 and 2006, the German federal government implemented series of reforms aiming to impact the supply side of labor by increasing incentives for unemployed workers to accept jobs and reducing the level and duration of their benefits. With this research paper, we will analyze the impact of these reforms in the unemployment rate. The Agenda 2010: The agenda 2010 was a series of reforms organized and executed by the federal government SPD and B’90/Greens collation of Germany on March 2003. The goal was to reform the German social system and, even more important, the labor market. Focusing on the labor market, the reform was called after the man who created this, Mr. Hartz (Uhlig, 2011). The key change of the reform was the merger between unemployment assistance and supplementary social welfare. The target was to pay unemployment...
