How do you answer an essay question?
1. Determine the nature of the question. This will influence the structure of your essay (ie. definitive, persuasive, etc.)2. Decide what will be your answer to the question.3. Make a plan for the structure of this essay, whether in outline form, bullet form, t-chart form, etc. This is called pre-writing.4. Proceed to answer the question.First Paragraph (Introduction): includes a hook to draw in the readers, the statement of the question (and your position toward it), and some of the points and sub-points that you will be making to support the answer you will be giving to the question.Subsequent Paragraphs (Body): which includes the points and their respective sub-points, all of which refer back to the original question, and are used in support of your conclusion.Final Paragraph (Conclusion): restate what you just said in the essay, and answer the "so-what" question (that is, why the answering of this question is pertinent to the readers).That is all. Good content plugged into good form makes a good essay.

It then goes on to give a summary of your major results, preferably couched in numbers with error limits. The final sentences explain the major implications of your work. A good abstract is concise, readable, and quantitative.Length should be ~ 1-2 paragraphs, approx. 400 words.Absrtracts generally do not have citations.Information in title should not be repeated.Be explicit.Use numbers where appropriate.Answers to these questions should be found in the abstract: What did you do?Why did you do it? What question were you trying to answer?How did you do it? State methods.What did you learn? State major results.Why does it matter? Point out at least one significant implication.Table of Contentslist all headings and subheadings with page numbersindent subheadingsit will look something like this:Page #List of FiguresxxxList of TablesIntroductionsubheads ...?Methodssubheads ...?Resultssubheads ...?Discussionsubheads ...?ConclusionRecommendationsAcknowledgmentsReferencesAppendicesList of FiguresList page numbers of all figures.The list should include a short title for each figure but not the whole caption.List of TablesList page numbers of all tables.The list should include a short title for each table but not the whole caption.IntroductionYou can't write a good introduction until you know what the body of the paper says. Consider writing the introductory section(s) after you have completed the rest of the paper, rather than before.Be sure to include a hook at the beginning of the introduction. This is a statement of something sufficiently interesting to motivate your reader to read the rest of the paper, it is an important/interesting scientific problem that your paper either solves or addresses. You should draw the reader in and make them want to read the rest of the paper.The next paragraphs in the introduction should cite previous research in this area. It should cite those who had the idea or ideas first, and should also cite those who have done the most recent and relevant work. You should then go on to explain why more work was necessary (your work, of course.)What else belongs in the introductory section(s) of your paper?A statement of the goal of the paper: why the study was undertaken, or why the paper was written. Do not repeat the abstract.Sufficient background information to allow the reader to understand the context and significance of the question you are trying to address.Proper acknowledgement of the previous work on which you are building. Sufficient references such that a reader could, by going to the library, achieve a sophisticated understanding of the context and significance of the question.The introduction should be focused on the thesis question(s). All cited work should be directly relevent to the goals of the thesis. This is not a place to summarize everything you have ever read on a subject.Explain the scope of your work, what will and will not be included.A verbal "road map" or verbal "table of contents" guiding the reader to what lies ahead.Is it obvious where introductory material ("old stuff") ends and your contribution ("new stuff") begins?Remember that this is not a review paper. We are looking for original work and interpretation/analysis by you. Break up the introduction section into logical segments by using subheads. MethodsWhat belongs in the "methods" section of a scientific paper? Information to allow the reader to assess the believability of your results.Information needed by another researcher to replicate your experiment.Description of your materials, procedure, theory.Calculations, technique, procedure, equipment, and calibration plots.Limitations, assumptions, and range of validity.Desciption of your analystical methods, including reference to any specialized statistical software.The methods section should answering the following questions and caveats: Could one accurately replicate the study (for example, all of the optional and adjustable parameters on any sensors or instruments that were used to acquire the data)?Could another researcher accurately find and reoccupy the sampling stations or track lines?Is there enough information provided about any instruments used so that a functionally equivalent instrument could be used to repeat the experiment?If the data are in the public domain, could another researcher lay his or her hands on the identical data set?Could one replicate any laboratory analyses that were used?Could one replicate any statistical analyses?Could another researcher approximately replicate the key algorithms of any computer software?Citations in this section should be limited to data sources and references of where to find more complete descriptions of procedures. Do not include descriptions of results.ResultsThe results are actual statements of observations, including statistics, tables and graphs.Indicate information on range of variation.Mention negative results as well as positive. Do not interpret results - save that for the discussion.Lay out the case as for a jury. Present sufficient details so that others can draw their own inferences and construct their own explanations.Use S.I. units (m, s, kg, W, etc.) throughout the thesis.Break up your results into logical segments by using subheadingsKey results should be stated in clear sentences at the beginning of paragraphs. It is far better to say "X had significant positive relationship with Y (linear regression p
Are you happier than your forefathers?
The idea of happiness is subjective and the question whether we are happier now as a society and individually more than our forefathers were happy is difficult to answer.First, every person's life and circumstances are different, even within the same society, country, region, area, and local community.Second, what one person might think are circumstances that would lead to unhappiness may be the same circumstances of an otherwise happy person, now or in the past. A person may be bitter and unhappy over ill fortune, poor decisions, or poor health, whether they live now or two hundred years ago. Yet, another person in similar circumstances may be (or have been) happy and content with their "lot" in life.Medical researchers today study aspects of happiness, peaceful thoughts, contentment, etc. and most studies have concluded that optimism is often at the core of whether a person reacts in a way we describe as "happy" or "content". Many researchers believe that when we "think positively" and have hope and faith, we can change how we feel and think about even the worst situations.As a comparison of daily life and lifestyles, we can chart that individual responses would and do have an impact on how people view their lives, whether now or hundreds of years ago.Comparison of today versus in the 1800s, in both:1. Classes exist, from the most poor to the most rich. But sometimes, the most rich financially are the most sad, unhappy, lonely, etc. Sometimes, the most poor are very happy, despite having no money.2. Other than educated men in the 1880s, most people had little formal education. Today, we have greater and longer former education, yet, more people report depression and discontentment.3. Almost all people in the 1800s did some forms of manual labor. The educated men fell into four groups, lawyer, physician, teacher, or preacher, but all within those 4 groups were also farmers usually. Today we use more machines for manual labor, and have much more leisure time. Some researchers think that because humans do less hands-on work, we feel more discontent.4. Few people in the 1800s felt "entitled" to ANYthing! If they didn't work, they didn't eat. If they didn't earn money, they knew they could not buy basic necessities. They didn't expect an inheritance and appreciated what they were given. Today, many experts cite a phenomenon called "entitlement", in which many groups and individuals believe they should be given money, benefits, or to be taken care of by someone or by government. This entitlement belief causes taxpayers to dislike people who receive government's help (money, food stamps, free health care, or even extended unemployment benefits). As a contrast, communities in the 1800s had NO entitlement programs. In fact, it was only in the mid 1800s that church leaders began to create "homes" for orphaned children. It was only in the late 1800s that communities formed long term "homes" and institutions for the elderly, ill, and insane. It wasn't until after World War I and World War II that the US government began "food programs" for the poor/hungry.5. Almost all people in the 1800s knew they would probably die before turning 18. IF they lived until their 30s, it was likely they'd die before age 60. IF they lived to 80 years old, they were unusual. Women of childbearing years knew that with each pregnancy they could die, and mothers knew they were likely to lose at least 1 child before the child turned 2 years old. They also knew that even if all their children lived beyond age 2 years, they risked death before age 5 years old simply because of communicable diseases, common colds, pneumonia, and unclean water (typhoid) or spoiled food. After World War II, we've had antibiotics to kill bacteria.. and in the last 20 years, anti-viral meds to kill viruses. Lifespan averages now hit in the mid 80s and longer. We have better access to doctors, better technology, and better care. However, many people today think all doctors should be able to cure all ills, which is an impossible belief to fill. Our forefathers believed in self-care, practical use of medicine and herbal treatments, along with relying on faith in God which gave peace even when doctors could do nothing to save a wife, husband, or child.6. People in the past took more self responsibility, in all areas of life. As one example, look at how many men "went west" into Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, etc., to search for land to buy, then returned home to New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, etc. The next year, the man and his family (often with other families), traveled to their new home in the other state. They often left family behind--parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins-- with no hope of ever seeing them again. The homesteaders had to rely on themselves and their skills to make it through each day. Most WALKED the entire way; wagons held possessions, not people. TODAY, however, children often think it is a hardship to walk to school; to go without television; to suffer when the electricity going off for a few hours in a thunderstorm.In comparing the changes people saw in daily life, work, technology, etc., we simply cannot then say that people were less happy if they were born in the 1800s. We also cannot say whether people today are happier or less happy than their forefathers. We can say that in all eras, societies, groups, communities, families, etc., people today and our forefathers experience/ experienced many varied circumstances that could contribute to whether individuals might feel happy or unhappy, but there are too many variables to say whether ALL persons were/are happier or unhappier now than before! Traits like personality, optimistic-pessimistic tendencies, upbringing, life events, family supports, etc. all can have their own impact on how well a person adjusts to and reacts to adversity. Resilience can offset many negative experiences. Therefore, when more people learn the lessons of resilience, we can say it is more like those people would be happier regardless of their circumstances.You can never know that. Unless you can somehow talk to your relatives from hundreds of years ago to ask how they feel, you may never know.
