Introduction:
· Open this section with a direct statement regarding the research topic and its purpose, next:
1. Theory: The theory should be a theoretical viewpoint or worldview/lens that you use to present/explain your research question. For example, if my research question was “The Societal Impact of COVID-19.” Two possible theories are used as a universal point of reference, see below.
For example: one could use conflict theory and argue that COVID-19 had a more devastating impact on the lower-class population due to their lack of resources compared to upper-class members. Hence, I would look for articles supporting this overall theory.
Or
Another example: one could use functionalism and argue that COVID-19 has had a positive effect on society by performing a level of structural interconnectedness (e.g., solidarity), vaccine success, and economic stability, to efficiently address the challenges that the disease caused.
2. Hypothesis: Your expressed educated guess regarding your research question. What do you think your topic will reveal through the research?
3. Method of Analysis (e.g., selected research approach quantitative, qualitative, or mixed method).
· Note: For this section, the arrangement or order (e.g., 1-3) is at the authors’ discretion, next:
Main Body/Literature Review:
1. Not less than five scholarly articles, more is better.
2. Other basic articles that make the author’s point.
3. This section reports what the research posits (i.e., argues) about your research question/topic.
· Remember this section should not include a personal narrative about the research topic.
Interpret the results:
1. Interpret the results of the raw data or secondary data.
2. Explain the significance of the data.
Conclusion/Report the findings:
1. Speak to whether your hypothesis was supported or not by the research!
2. In this section, personal views and experiences about the topic can be expressed.
3. Gaps or missing elements you believe that are missing in the research.
Reference Page/Cited Works:
· This is the final page that lists cited works and must be in either MLA/APA formatting style
important: Take some time to reread your statements making sure they clearly express the topic. Argue your concerns according to the research and not personal narrative. Stay consistent with the original argument. Divide your paper into sections, for example, introduction, literature review, findings, and conclusion. When you state what is race or ethnicity, operationalize these terms in the introduction. Where possible use your articles to support the information you are providing. Also, organize your argument such that it flows with a logical and organized ease. Lastly, create a reference page for the cited works. Make these changes and send them to me ASAP. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. ive attached the research paper below please edit it using these instructions.
