Opinion Essays to Share Your Views

10  March, 2010

Opinion Essay- Guidelines

An opinion essay entails that the writer presents his personal views supported by reasons and evidences in such a manner that it gives an insight into the mind and thinking capabilities of the author. Opposing viewpoints must also be presented in the essay and by means of proper arguments shown that they are unconvincing. In this essay type there will be an introduction that will state the topic and present the opinion of the writer. The main body generally consisting of three or more paragraphs, will have the opinion or view point discussed in greater detail and supported by evidences and reasons. Opposite viewpoints are to be proven unconvincing here in the main body with the help of suitable arguments. The conclusion will give a summary of the main points discussed in the essay and will re state the writer’s viewpoint preferably in different words.

An opinion essay in the introduction will state its stand very clearly, as for example, in an essay on euthanasia the writer will make clear his stand as follows “It discusses the pros and cons of euthanasia and takes a ringside view and examines the subject both from an ethical and medical viewpoint. The article also takes a stand and in favor of passive euthanasia under certain guidelines and conditions only. It also discusses the effects it may have on society if all forms of euthanasia are made legal….”

The body of the essay will have certain phrases that are to be used while writing an opinion essay and these are ‘my opinion is that….’, ‘I firmly believe that…..’, ‘I am convinced that…’ and ‘according to my point of view’ and other simliar phrases in the same vein.

The conclusion will have to strongly reiterate the writer’s views on the topic .While writing on euthanasia, as for example, he will have to conclude in the following manner ” ….Active euthanasia is actually killing a person in cold blood and should never be made legal, as it would lead to may dangerous pitfalls. Euthanasia is a dangerous ground to walk on and one has to tread extremely cautiously. It is very easy to merge mercy killing and murder as one, owing to the fact that the lines separating these two are very fine. As much as we would like to respect a patient’s wish to die with dignity, we must also take care to keep in mind that under the garb of legalized euthanasia murder of innocent victims does not occur.”

An opinion essay is generally easy to write as there is no compulsion on the part of the writer to convince his readers. He will just have to present his opinion, leaving the reader to decide on his own. So he can write on anything he feels strongly about, without having to really work hard on convincing someone.

Basic Guidelines for a Science Essay

March, 2010

Example of a Science Essay

A science essay is writing about the various improvisations made by man and nature. It is the study of how man and nature work for their own benefit. A science paper on biology would explore the natural habitat around us. It would research the flora and the fauna of the past and the present and prepare a paper that would give us an insight into this fascinating world of all living things. A technology paper would take up issues pertaining to the technological and engineering marvels invented by human intelligence and used for the benefit of all. Given below is an example of a science essay that discusses the process called fusion, a very important scientific process.

Introduction

Nuclear fusion – the process:
When the nucleus of an atom undergoes changes due to certain physical reactions the process is known as a nuclear reaction and during this reaction a certain amount of energy is released which is the nuclear energy. This nuclear energy is produced by nuclear reactions of two types:
1. Nuclear fission.
2. Nuclear fusion.
Nuclear fusion. The word itself shows what the term refers to. “Fusion” means to join or combine together. So in a nuclear fusion it is the joining or combining of two nuclei to form a new nucleus. Here the two nuclei of a lighter element combine to form the nucleus of a heavier element. As Singh and Kaur define it “the process in which two nuclei of light elements (like that of hydrogen) combine to form a heavy nucleus (like that of helium) is called nuclear fusion ( Singh and Kaur,“Science for Tenth Class (part 1)”, 242). The nuclei ….

Body

Hydrogen and its isotopes (protium, deuterium or tritium) which have the smallest nuclear charge react at the required minimum heat or temperature and helium and its isotopes (3He and 4He) with an extremely low nuclear mass are the preferred fusion atoms. Two nuclei of the Hydrogen atoms of mass number 2 (Deuterium atoms) under high temperature and pressure combine to form the bigger and heavier nucleus of helium along with the release of a neutron. The equation would look like this:
2H1 + 2H1 ———————-> 3He2 + 1neutron0 + large amount of energy.
(Two deuterium (heavy helium atom)
light atoms)
In a nuclear fusion the process involves liberation of a large amount of energy which is termed as “Fusion power”. However…..

Conclusion

Research work has been going on for the last 50 years with the aim of producing a nuclear fusion reaction that would be under control and the heat produced due to the liberated energy can be tapped for the production of electric power. Self-sustaining and controlled fusion reactions have been shown to some extent in the tokamak reactors which theoretically can produce ten times more heat energy than is required for the nuclei to fuse together for the fusion to start. Tokamak is a sort of thermonuclear fusion inducing reactor. It was first developed by the then USSR and are now seen in other countries too. However, the correct procedure to make the nuclear fusion self-sustaining is still eluding the scientists and the building …..

History Essay Writing Tips

28  February, 2010

History Essays – Guidelines

Writing history essays is nothing different from writing any other essays. It is only that the subject differs. A history paper, one will have to keep in mind, has to be very precise with dates and happenings. Information given in the essay has to be accurate and a lot of detailed examination and research will have to go into the topic. So it is imperative for the writer to collect as much notes as possible. However one must also take care to see that the notes collected are relevant and pertaining to the theme. Irrelevant and illogical facts spoil the temperament of the paper and the writer will end up getting poor grades. A history paper will generally follow the mla essay format or will be written as in a Chicago style paper.

Given below are examples of how to write history on various topics:

The seven years war was the actual first world war – expand

The Seven Years War which lasted from 1756 till 1763 was in true sense the First World War as it involved conflicts between all the powerful European states of that time and also involved America and India. It involved major skirmishes between Prussia, Britain and small German states against a coalition of major powers consisting of Russia, Austria, Sweden, France and the Saxony. This war had its roots in the result of the previously fought War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748). Austria had never wanted to give up Silesia to Prussia and it was unhappy with the continuing colonial expansion of Britain and France. So in a true sense the Seven years War was a continuation of the Austrian War of Succession. Later Portugal (on the English side) and also Spain (on the French side) were drawn in to the war. Netherlands who had wanted to remain neutral had its force attacked in India…..

Impact of American Revolution on Europe

The American Revolution refers to the formation of the sovereign United States of America during the latter half of the 18th century. During this revolution the thirteen colonies of North America refused to be under the rule of the British Empire and monarchy and declared their independence. Many social changes were noticed and many republican ideals took shape at this time which resulted in democracy for the American people and also created the basics (liberty, equality, rights, anti corruption stance) that form the political values of America even today. The American Revolution was an eye opener for many countries under colonial or monarchical rule leading them to realize that they could also break away and form elected governments. This revolution….

History essays make it essential for the writer to give a detailed description, complete with dates, and strong evidences for all given arguments. This will in turn require the writer a lot of in-depth exploration on the given subject. Read the given sample essays on history topics to see how to write this paper well.

Basic Tips to Write a Biology Essay

22  February, 2010

Biology Essay- Guidelines

A biology essay means writing about the various life processes seen all around us. The essay will explain in details about the flora and fauna, that are a part of the living world. It may involve writing about microscopic organisms to the largest living mammal, that is a whale. So a biology essay is wide in its scope. Depending on the topic this essay type may also vary. If one is writing a paper on stem cell research, this may fall under the controversial research topics and one will have to write accordingly. Similarly one may be assigned to write a cause and effect essay on the problem of environmental pollution.

Like any other essay a biology essay will also follow the five paragraph format, unless otherwise specified. It will have the introductory paragraph, 3 body paragraphs and a concluding paragraph. An essay on pediculosis or the common lice, will thus look like this:

Introduction

Pediculosis is the condition arising from infestation of the human body by the parasite commonly referred to as lice with the generic name of Pediculus. It is an ectoparasite that lives on the body of its host and survives by sucking blood from it. There are mainly three lice varieties found on the body of a human being. These are the head louse or scientifically known as Pediculus humanus, var. capitis, the body louse known as Pediculus humanus, var. corporis, and the pubic louse or…..

Body

The head louse or P. capitis and the body louse P. corporis are very similar in shape, with the head louse being slightly smaller in size. The P. pubis is very distinct is shape with claw like pincers like that of crabs. They suck blood many times in a day and reproduce very fast with a single female louse producing nearly up to ten eggs per day in its average life span of about 30 days. So if kept untreated…

The chief clinical symptoms of lice infection thus include itching, excoriation, louse nits, dermatitis and lesions formed due to lice bites and secondary infections of the affected areas. The body and hair louse can be seen in all age groups and is more common in females. Children, specially between the age group of 5- 11 years, in general are …

Clinical diagnoses as Langford and Thompson (2004) tell us are by “A physical examination revealing nits or lice. The examination may be enhanced using fluorescent light and microscopic examination of hair shafts”(Langford and Thompson, 2004). Treatments available for pediculosis…

Conclusion

Thus, pediculosis a very common infection, caused by the lice due to unhygienic living and physical conditions, is a very fast spreading one and often can be a source of embarrassment for the patient. It has to be dealt with sensitivity and extreme care by the concerned nurse who will also have the duty of spreading awareness…

20  February, 2010

Choose the Perfect Model Essay

What are model essays? As the very name suggest, they consist of good essays written in the correct formatting and without any errors. In other words, an essay which one can use to form an outline and base his writing on. A model essay will be written in a five paragraph format, will be well researched, well organised, logical and comprehensive.

A model essay will have an introduction that will introduce the topic to the reader. It will present the important terms and terminologies related to the theme and will state the aims and objectives of the essay. At the end will be a thesis statement.

Introduction: Here in this paragraph the writer introduces the reader to the story to be later critically analysed (Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen).

Hedda Gabler is a play written by Henrik Ibsen and first published in 1890. It is the story of a lady named Hedda Gabler (nee Tesman). Her unmarried name was chosen as the title to show that she was more a father’s (aristocratic military personnel) girl than a wife to her husband Tesman (a rising academician). The drama unfolds as Hedda returns from her Honeymoon in pregnant condition and cannot control her jealousy on finding that her ex lover Lovborg has found a new …makes her realize the very futility of her own existence and she commits suicide by shooting herself with the remaining pistol.

Body- This paragraph will discuss the play in details and analyse it

At the first glance, Hedda seem to be in control of her situation. The rich daughter of an aristocratic family loves to control others and society in general. She expresses this in very clear words to Thea(Mrs. Elvstead) when she says “I want, for once in my life, to have power over a human being’s fate”(Ibsen, “Hedda Gabler”, p 324) There is an ever present sense of emptiness in her life which she tries to fill by trying to control other people’s fate. She does this without any sense of guilt…

Hedda tries to control and manipulate other people’s lives and fails miserably. She does not realise that desire and attainment are two entirely different things. The …

She is one way a victim of circumstances where everything she plans falls apart and lets her
sink further into despair and a sense of desolation. Hedda is more a victim of her own psychological complexities and falls prey to the unchanging realities that are inherited both genetically and personally. She lives in the realm of a …..

Conclusion - Will present a brief summary and reiterate the thesis statement.

Hedda commits suicide because she loses control of the situation, finds Judge Brack’s blackmailing unbearable and sees no way to escape her feeling of loneliness. Tesman at the end thrusts her aside as he sits to rewrite the lost manuscript throwing her deeper into a sense of despair. It is almost as if she realizes that life has no use for her and decides to escape…..

An Example of an APA Outline paper

11  February, 2010

Apa Outline as A Guideline

Writing an academic essay in the APA format means, writing the paper in the style developed and adopted by the American Psychological Association. This formatting is used mainly in scientific and technology related research papers. The basic difference in an APA paper with the other essay formats like the MLA / Harvard or the Chicago, lies in the pattern of in-text citation and referencing pattern. Given below is an example of an essay in an APA outline.

There should be a header in the paper which will give a short heading and the page number on the flush right hand side of the header. The essay should be entirely computer generated, unless otherwise specified, on a white paper of 8.5 inches x 11 inches and printed on only one side. There should be gap of one inch on all sides of the written essay and the format used is generally the Arial or the New Times Roman with a font size of 10-12.

The title should be aligned at the center of the page: Theories and Connection between Human Relations and Motivation

The essay should start after the title in the form of a new paragraph. The first line of the paragraph should be indented 5 spaces. For in-text citation, an APA outline essay should be formatted in the given manner:

Motivator-Hygiene theory which says that “the Intrinsic motivations (‘Motivators’) are the ones which give positive satisfaction whereas the Extrinsic Motivators are the ones which are ‘Hygiene’ factors i.e their absence leads to de-motivation (ACCEL team development, 2008).

Here note that APA format asks for the name of the writer and the date of publication to be written within parentheses. If date is not available then write n.d. in place of the date, as for example,

Jim Rohn (n.d.) once said “Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have. But there …”.

For the reference page the formatting should be like this,

ACCEL Team Development. (2008). Human Relations Contributors. Retrieved on 12 February, 2009, from

http://accel-team.com/human_relations/hrels_05_herzberg.html

For no date available it should be,

Rohn, Jim.(n.d.). Motivation. Retrieved on 12 February, 2009, from

http://www.motivatingquotes.com/motivation.htm

For a book the reference should be,

Regester, M and Larkin, J. (2008). Risk Issues and Crisis Management in Public Relations.
London: Kogan Page Publishers.

For a journal the referencing should be,

Granstrom G, Jacobsson M, Tjellstrom A. (1992). Titanium implants in irradiated tissue: benefits from
hyperbaric oxygen. Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants. 7:15-25.

An apa outline paper will have all the basic things that one looks for in a good research paper. It should be well researched, well organised and well written, in a logical and comprehensive manner. All direct quotations should be correctly referenced according to the correct APA format. There are many essay samples written in the APA format that are readily available online.

A Compare and Contrast Essay needs a Detailed Study of the Two Subjects to be Compared and Contrasted

25  January, 2010

An Outline for a Compare and Contrast essay

A compare and contrast essay like any other essay consists of the general five paragraph format. These academic essays are generally of the bigger varieties, where the assignments are set for many pages, to be researched and written by the student. As in all cases, this essay too needs a good structure. One must always remember that writing a very good essay without having a good structure will spoil the entire write up, making all the efforts that the writer has put in, to go down the drain. So after getting the assigned topic for the compare and contrast essay the first thing the writer should do is to prepare a good structure or layout for the essay. In other words preparing a good essay outline is necessary for writing a good essay, as this outline forms the scaffolding on which the writer will have to work on.

Given below is the outline for a compare and contrast essay:

1. Introduction- Like any other this essay should also give a brief introduction to the topic , giving all the important definitions and terms to be used later. To make the starting interesting, one should begin with an anecdote, a question or a quotation.

2. Body

Topic A – The first few paragraphs will discuss the first topic only. Generally in a compare and contrast essay two topics that are related are set for comparing and contrasting. So between the two topics here the first few paragraphs will concentrate in characterizing the first topic or topic A, only. The second topic or topic B must not be mentioned here.

Topic B - This section which will again comprise of many paragraphs will discuss in detail the second or topic B. One may refer to topic A, but only in brief, as that topic has already been dealt with in the earlier paragraphs. The purpose of this section is to give the details of the second topic or topic B, only.

Analysis of topic A and Topic B- After a detailed description of both the topics are given, they will have to be analysed in detail, together. This will again have to be done in more than one paragraph.

3. Conclusion- This should give a brief summary of the essay written and be written in such a manner that it proves the great in-depth knowledge of the writer, on the subject. The writer should give a firm conclusion and reaffirm the thesis statement.

There is another way in which a compare and contrast essay may be written. The format is as follows:

1. Introduction

2. Body

All comparisons/similarities between Topic A and Topic B written in more than one paragraphs( not less than three comparable/similar points to be discussed)

All contrasts between Topic A and Topic B written in more than one paragraphs( not less than three contrasting points to be discussed)

3. Conclusion

Writing a compare and contrast essay is generally easy, though it requires a thorough knowledge of the subjects to be compared and contrasted. If the writer feels that he may not have the time or the inclination to do the detailed study on the issue, which is necessary for writing this essay, then he can take expert help from MasterPapers.com to complete his assignment.
