Have you set off (correctly indented) any quotes longer than three full lines?
Have you underlined (or italicized) book titles? Have you used quotation marks for article titles?

Assignment 3: Direct Manipulation
Due Week 8 and worth 80 points
Early computer systems relied on command line interfaces to perform all actions. Today, the majority of systems use direct manipulation rather than a command line interface. The goal of designing a direct manipulation interface is to make use of the system intuitive to the end user. One industry that has been extremely successful designing intuitive direct manipulation inputs is the video game industry. Most game players are able to learn controls as they play a game and then apply the same controls to similar games. Rarely do they need to read a user manual.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1. Describe the three (3) principles of direct manipulation and give examples as to how they are used in video game controls.
2. Analyze video game-type interfaces and discuss three (3) reasons why video game-type interfaces would not be effective for real-world applications.
3. Describe at least three (3) advantages of direct manipulation versus command line interfaces.
4. Evaluate direct manipulation and describe three (3) problems with it.
5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
• Describe direct manipulation and virtual environments.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in human-computer interaction.
• Write clearly and concisely about HCI topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Assignment 3 Direct ManipulationDue Week 8 and worth 80 points.docxursabrooks36447
Assignment 3: Direct Manipulation
Due Week 8 and worth 80 points
Early computer systems relied on command line interfaces to perform all actions. Today, the majority of systems use direct manipulation rather than a command line interface. The goal of designing a direct manipulation interface is to make use of the system intuitive to the end user. One industry that has been extremely successful designing intuitive direct manipulation inputs is the video game industry. Most game players are able to learn controls as they play a game and then apply the same controls to similar games. Rarely do they need to read a user manual.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1. Describe the three (3) principles of direct manipulation and give examples as to how they are used in video game controls.
2. Analyze video game-type interfaces and discuss three (3) reasons why video game-type interfaces would not be effective for real-world applications.
3. Describe at least three (3) advantages of direct manipulation versus command line interfaces.
4. Evaluate direct manipulation and describe three (3) problems with it.
5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
• Describe direct manipulation and virtual environments.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in human-computer interaction.
• Write clearly and concisely about HCI topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

LECTURE 2
Introduction
Learning to communicate appropriately and effectively in a variety of settings and in a variety of formats is an important skill in both academic and professional environments. In an online learning environment, learning to communicate effectively through writing is particularly important because it is, by far, how the majority of communication occurs. Review the learning objectives for this module within the course syllabus and use the following lecture, which is about various forms of written communication used in the online graduate setting, to accomplish them.
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing the ideas of others is a requirement in academic writing and graduate study. Paraphrasing is using your own words to restate ideas or information from a source material. Paraphrasing will help you grasp the full meaning of the source material and allow you to appropriately reference the source material to support your own ideas and academic writing. Paraphrased material is usually shorter and more concise than the original information. The following are some common guidelines taken from the Purdue Online Writing Lab (2012), which may assist you with learning to paraphrase information gathered from reading materials for use in completing your coursework.
Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning.
Set the original passage aside and, on a note card, write what you think the passage means in your own words (paraphrase).
Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later of how you plan to use the information. At the top of the note card, write a key word or phrase to indicate the subject of your paraphrase.
Compare your paraphrase with the original to make sure that your version accurately expresses all the essential information.
Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phrase you copied exactly from the original source.
Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you can cite it easily if you decide to incorporate the material into a paper or discussion question response.
The following is an example of paraphrasing (Purdue OWL, 2012), which i.
REQUIREMENTS RESEARCH PROJECTNow its time to begin (two) major .docxsodhi3
REQUIREMENTS RESEARCH PROJECT
Now it's time to begin (two) major writing assignments: 1) the Focused Annotated Bibliography and 2) the Research Paper assignments. The Focused Annotated Bibliography is the research for the final research paper; therefore, you need to provide a "focus," a purpose statement that will become your thesis for the paper. Make sure you use correct MLA style for both papers. Directions for both assignments are in the course content; I suggest that you read all directions, example, etc. before beginning the bibliography assignment. Also read "How to Write about Literature" and "How to do Research" in the course content.
Requirements Specific directions, guides and examples are in Unit One: “Course Resources & Writing Assignments” in the Content. Read Unit One before beginning this assignment. Due Date: check the course calendar in the Syllabus and Start Items in the course content
Clear focus or thesis that is supported with examples, quotes and paraphrases from both primary and secondary sources.
6-8 pages in length, not counting the Works Cited page
MLA documentation style
Typed and double-spaced, 12 point font such as Times New Roman
Written in Standard English, free of grammatical and spelling errors
Use at least five scholarly sources; the best databases are: JSTOR, MLA, and Literary Reference Center. If an article isn’t available in our library, use interlibrary loan. You can order interlibrary loan articles online on the library’s website. Articles will be delivered to your email address.
Please note that you may or may not use all the sources cited in your Annotated Bibliography, which is part of your preliminary research. Whether you use a source depends on your thesis or purpose.
A word of caution: do not use non-scholarly sources or any online sources, especially Wikipedia or Sparknotes. If you rely on these sources, you will fail the assignment.
If you plagiarize, you will receive a zero for the assignment and may fail the class.
I will only accept Word files; do not use PDF.
Do not use online bibliography help, services that supposedly put your citations in correct MLA style – these sources are not accurate or reliable. You are responsible for understanding and implementing correct MLA style in your citations and in your papers.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESEARCH PAPER (PART TWO)
READ & EXTRACTED From UNIT 1
The Research Paper Assignment What is a Research Paper? In this class, the research paper is defined as a literary analysis, (see my handout on how to write a literary analysis in this module), a paper that explains and interprets a specific idea about one of the texts assigned in the course. Remember that you are using the primary source, the text, to support a specific reading – to do this process, you must do a close reading of your text. This involves finding evidence from the primary text to support your argument, your claim or thesis. You are also required to use scholarly eviden ...

PAPER ASSIGNMENT
Format
The term paper for this class will be a thesis-guided argumentative academic paper that is to be at least 2000 words long. It must contain a thesis statement that states your paper’s main scholarly idea. This thesis should be explained and supported by sufficient analysis and interpretation. The paper should adhere to college level grammar and syntax. Be aware that every architectural part has its proper name or term. Using the right terminology makes the reader more confident about your knowledge of the subject you are writing about. There should be at least one illustration as well as correctly formatted foot- or endnotes.
Most of the formulations and statements in your paper will be arguments. These are usually presented in individual paragraphs, which should be organized in an easily recognizable narrative sequence that presents and argues your topic in the most convincing manner. In general, use language that connects you to the reader of your paper. Inform the reader of your position towards the paper topic and the thesis you are making. Use a formal academic tone and complex sentence structure for the arguments you make, but also introduce a rhythm with more personal comments about the information you provide.
Close your paper with a conclusion, in which you tie your solution back to the initial question and thesis of the paper. Since your reader knows now more than before reading your paper, it might be interesting for him/her to learn the larger context of your topic. Through this, your reader may remember your paper more vividly.
Revise your paper until you have reached a simple and direct way to present your thesis and arguments.
Topic
The paper topic is described earlier in this syllabus. The paper should present “productive” knowledge. This type of knowledge is different from “acquisitive” one that you simply copy from existing publications. The paper must answer questions of “why,” not just of “what.” It should contain propositional thoughts about architecture, e.g., how it fits into the everyday life of a place and its people, or how it evolved over time, or how the problems it faces today have developed through its history. To accomplish this task, you should formulate a speculative idea, which you then explain with, and analyze against, the existing body of knowledge about architecture. Beginning the paper with a question about this idea will be the best approach to finishing this assignment.
To a large part, analyzing means collecting (believable and convincing) evidence that support your paper’s topic. For this paper, most evidence will come from established and accepted research texts on the topic you have chosen. You must explain objectively how the evidence you picked supports your thesis. It is this connection that is most important to the reader of your paper. To complete this successfully, you must take good notes from your research.

Abstract
Following generally accepted rules for preparing manuscripts will help students confidently structure professional papers. This manuscript provides a basic layout for students to apply in this program and in their professional writing. The approach is based upon the sixth edition of the APA guidelines (2009). The topics of general formatting, the introduction, section headings, quotations, citations, conclusion, and references are discussed. The APA guidelines define an abstract as a single paragraph, without indentation, that summarizes the key points of the manuscript. The purpose of the abstract is to provide the reader with a brief summary of the paper, such as this abstract. The total length should not exceed 120 words, with each sentence written concisely.
Introduction
Learning to write in a recognized
professional format, such as APA, will help students achieve effective academic and professional writing. Using an established manuscript format is more efficient for the author and the reader, leading to more effective communication. According to a College Board (2004) su.
Intercultural Concept Analysis Paper Due as noted in Learn b.docxnormanibarber20063
Intercultural Concept Analysis Paper
Due as noted in Learn by 11:59 pm
This paper will be your opportunity to discuss your understanding of class readings, concepts,
and discussions. The purpose of this paper is to help you synthesize and analyze different ideas
and concepts, not just summarize them. The first step is to select a specific topic or concept to
explore. Then, chose one of the articles assigned this semester that discusses that concept. Next,
fine two academic articles in the field of communication that also discusses this concept. I
recommend using the EBSCO host search for the Communication & Mass Media Complete
database through the Cline’s website. After reading your independently selected articles, you will
write a 4-5 page paper.
• You may want to begin your search by consulting the following journals: Journal of
International & Intercultural Communication; Communication and Critical/Cultural
Studies; Communication, Culture & Critique
Start by offering a clear definition of the concept under discussion as defined by the authors’ of
the articles you have selected. This is your chance to move beyond using a dictionary for
definition, look at the course reading and academic journal articles and see how the author define
the concept. They may not spell it out completely, you may have to read between the lines and
paraphrase their definition.
You will be graded on your engagement of the material and your grasp of the concept discussed
in class. Use the same process that you have been practicing in the collaborative reading
assignments. How do the three articles discuss the same concept: do they agree with each other,
do they approach the concepts differently (disagree with each), does one of the articles
complicate or expand the discussion of the concept? These are all elements that can be addressed
in this paper.
Draw on the readings in a thoughtful, meaningful manner. Use direct quotes sparingly, a quote
should be used to support what conclusion you draw, not replace your own voice. This is not
about your opinion but building an argument. Provide academic evidence to support your point.
As such, this paper should be written in third person rather than using “I” or “we”. Be sure to
provide page numbers for direct quotes in addition to author(s) last name and year of publication
for all citations. Include a references page for any reading or text mentioned in your article.
Formatting
• 1-inch margins all the way around.
• Double-spaced, no extra spacing between paragraphs.
• 12 pt. font, Times New Roman
• APA format for in-text citations and references at end of paper.
Use APA style to cite and reference readings. Assistance on APA format is available through the

Full Title of Your Paper
An introductory paragraph prepares your audience to read the rest of your paper. What do you need to tell them? Give a brief description of your topic. Do not go into specific details, save those for body paragraphs. Also, your introduction needs to contain your thesis statement, which is the main idea or purpose of your paper stated in one sentence. Do not list all of your points or subtopics in your thesis statement—find a way to encompass all of your points in a succinct manner. Do not narrate your paper with thesis statements such as, “This paper will demonstrate the need for healthier school lunches.” Instead, simply state your position, “Public schools need to provide healthier lunches.” Notice the heading of this paragraph is the title of the paper and it is in bold. Do not use the word, “Introduction” as a heading for this paragraph.
First Main Section of the Paper
Use the instructor’s instructions and/or rubric to determine how you will organize the content of the paper. Use Level 1 headings (centered, bold, with all main words capitalized) for the main sections of the paper. For example, you are writing about personal health. In the instructions the three areas of personal health about which you are required to write are physical health, mental health, and social health. You would use those areas as the main sections of your paper. You could even use those exact terms as the Level 1 headings. Since the instructions listed physical health first, you should make that the first main section of your paper.
Subsection of the First Main Section
If a main section of your paper has more than one aspect or subsection about which you will write, then break the main section into subsection. For example, physical health has multiple aspects to it, such as nutrition, exercise, and sleep. Therefore, you would want to include subsections for those aspects. For our example, this subsection would be about nutrition.
Each subsection begins with a Level 2 heading which flush left, in bold, and has all of the main words capitalized. If you wish to use subsections, you must have at least two for that main section. In other words, if you want to use Level 2 headings, you must have at least two under the Level 1 heading you are subdividing. The same goes for Level 3 headings; there must be at least two Level 3 headings under the Level 2 heading you are subdividing.
Another Subsection of the First Main Section
This would be another subsection of the first main section. Going back to our example, this subsection would be about exercise. In addition to organizing your paper, you often need to include source material as support. There are three ways to include source material ...

Corporal Punishment:
Legal Reform as a Route
to Changing Norms
THE TERM “HARMFUL TRADITIONAL PRACTICES” TYPICALLY BRINGS TO MIND CHILD
marriage, female genital mutilation/cutting, and so-called “honor kill-
ings,” but rarely corporal punishment. Yet corporal punishment is
arguably the most pervasive harmful traditional practice children expe-
rience today. In nearly every part of the world, parents use physical
punishment to “discipline” their children. Such corporal punishment
typically takes the form of hitting a child with a bare hand or an object
such as a stick or paddle. A 2014 survey found that four of every five
children between the ages of two and 14—an estimated 1 billion glob-
ally—experience physical punishment in their home on a regular basis
(UNICEF 2014, 96).
The practice of corporal punishment is rooted in both cultural
norms and religious belief. Parents often believe that corporal pun-
ishment will teach children good behavior. They hit their children be-
cause it is socially accepted and because they themselves often were
hit growing up. Some religious teachings appear to justify the prac-
tice.1 The adage “spare the rod, spoil the child,” rooted in the Old Tes-
tament Book of Proverbs, suggests not only that corporal pun.
Database Project Charter/Business Case
Khalia Hart
University of Maryland Global Campus
February 21, 2020
Introduction
A database is an electronic collection of data that is built by a user so that they can access, update particular information in the database coherently or rapidly. Today firms employ integrated technology to increase their capacity to serve more clients, keep information well or effectively, organize activities according to the urgency or priorities, accounting records (Tüttelmann F, 2015). Most of the integrated technology depends on multiple databases that supply information relevant in making the decision. Since the business started using databases, their performance increase because the business decisions they make are sound and practical.
Business Problem
The supply chain management is one of the most complicated processes in the business and often at times due to need of detail it gets hard for the supply chain manager to keep the record of the work covered effectively, have enough data to make the decision and also have enough data to monitor the chain of operation (William, 2019). The supply chain has been so crucial for the business because it determines the performance of the company in the industry by assessing the quality of the product produced in the organization, cost of production, the time and effectiveness of distribution network, and overall production operation of the organization.
Operation management has been named as the leading cause of business failure caused by a lack of a system, which the manager or the supervisor can use to monitor the whole system. This is the problem to solve using the database (William, 2019). Using a database, the manager can observe or watch the entire chain from their office, make better decisions by fore- planning approach of the database also make changes within the system when there is the need to cut costs or making the process effective.
Project Scope
Most business organizations are spread in operation, and this is the challenge that makes the supply chain management complex (Tüttelmann F, 2015). This is because the chain is in different localities, and therefore, coordination of operation among the user or the workers becomes a challenge. Through the database system, the business will enjoy proper coordination using the wide Area Network (LAN). Through the LAN network, the company can link computers and cost-effectively share data and communication. Through this system, the company will have a connection and coordination of the processes within the organization. The number of connected devices will range from 10 to 1000, depending on the type of tools and system that is set to facilitate this connection.
Goals and objectives of the system
The purpose of the system that I want to install in the supply chain management is to;
· Monitoring of the supply chain- the system will enable the manager to monitor the system and every process in the order (Gattor.

Kraft Reformulates Oreo, Scores in China
Julie Jargon. Wall Street Journal. (Eastern edition). New York, N.Y.: May 1, 2008. pg. B.1
Abstract (Summary)
Kraft, the world's second largest food company by revenue, reported a 13% drop in first-quarter net income Wednesday
because of high commodity costs and increased spending on product research and marketing. Television commercials
showed kids twisting apart Oreo cookies, licking the cream center and dipping the chocolate cookie halves into glasses of
milk.
(c) 2008 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. Reproduced with permission of copyright owner. Further reproduction or distribution

Unlike its iconic American counterpart, the Oreo sold in China is frequently long, thin, four-layered and coated in chocolate. But
both kinds of cookies have one important thing in common: They are now best sellers.
The Oreo has long been the top-selling cookie in the U.S. market. But Kraft Foods Inc. had to reinvent the Oreo to make it sell
well in the world's most populous nation. While Chinese Oreo sales represent a tiny fraction of Kraft's $37.2 billion in annual
revenue, the cookie's journey in China exemplifies the kind of entrepreneurial transformation that Chief Executive Irene
Rosenfeld is trying to spread throughout the food giant.
Kraft, the world's second largest food company by revenue, reported a 13% drop in first-quarter net income Wednesday
because of high commodity costs and increased spending on product research and marketing. Its international business,
which now represents 40% of Kraft's revenue thanks to the company's recent acquisition of Groupe Danone's biscuits
business, was a bright spot in the quarter, aided by the weak dollar. Kraft's profit in the European Union rose 48%, excluding
special charges, and its profit in developing markets rose 57%.
To try to increase growth at the company, Ms. Rosenfeld has been putting more power in the hands of Kraft's various
business units around the globe, telling employees that decisions about Kraft products shouldn't all be made by people at the
Northfield, Ill., headquarters.
To take advantage of the European preference for dark chocolate, Kraft is introducing dark chocolate in Germany under its
Milka brand. Research in Russia showed that consumers there like premium instant coffee, so Kraft is positioning its Carte
Noire freeze-dried coffee as upscale by placing it at film festivals, fashion shows and operas. And in the Philippines, where
iced tea is popular, Kraft last year launched iced-tea-flavored Tang. Ms. Rosenfeld has also been encouraging marketers to
"reframe" product categories, no longer thinking, for example, that an Oreo has to be a round sandwich cookie.
Oreos were first introduced in 1912 in the U.S., but it wasn't until 1996 that Kraft introduced Oreos to Chinese consumers.
Nine years later, a makeover began. Shawn Warren, a 37-year-old .

LECTURE 2
Introduction
Learning to communicate appropriately and effectively in a variety of settings and in a variety of formats is an important skill in both academic and professional environments. In an online learning environment, learning to communicate effectively through writing is particularly important because it is, by far, how the majority of communication occurs. Review the learning objectives for this module within the course syllabus and use the following lecture, which is about various forms of written communication used in the online graduate setting, to accomplish them.
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing the ideas of others is a requirement in academic writing and graduate study. Paraphrasing is using your own words to restate ideas or information from a source material. Paraphrasing will help you grasp the full meaning of the source material and allow you to appropriately reference the source material to support your own ideas and academic writing. Paraphrased material is usually shorter and more concise than the original information. The following are some common guidelines taken from the Purdue Online Writing Lab (2012), which may assist you with learning to paraphrase information gathered from reading materials for use in completing your coursework.
Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning.
Set the original passage aside and, on a note card, write what you think the passage means in your own words (paraphrase).
Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later of how you plan to use the information. At the top of the note card, write a key word or phrase to indicate the subject of your paraphrase.
Compare your paraphrase with the original to make sure that your version accurately expresses all the essential information.
Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phrase you copied exactly from the original source.
Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you can cite it easily if you decide to incorporate the material into a paper or discussion question response.
The following is an example of paraphrasing (Purdue OWL, 2012), which i.

REQUIREMENTS RESEARCH PROJECT
Now it's time to begin (two) major writing assignments: 1) the Focused Annotated Bibliography and 2) the Research Paper assignments. The Focused Annotated Bibliography is the research for the final research paper; therefore, you need to provide a "focus," a purpose statement that will become your thesis for the paper. Make sure you use correct MLA style for both papers. Directions for both assignments are in the course content; I suggest that you read all directions, example, etc. before beginning the bibliography assignment. Also read "How to Write about Literature" and "How to do Research" in the course content.
Requirements Specific directions, guides and examples are in Unit One: “Course Resources & Writing Assignments” in the Content. Read Unit One before beginning this assignment. Due Date: check the course calendar in the Syllabus and Start Items in the course content
Clear focus or thesis that is supported with examples, quotes and paraphrases from both primary and secondary sources.
6-8 pages in length, not counting the Works Cited page
MLA documentation style
Typed and double-spaced, 12 point font such as Times New Roman
Written in Standard English, free of grammatical and spelling errors
Use at least five scholarly sources; the best databases are: JSTOR, MLA, and Literary Reference Center. If an article isn’t available in our library, use interlibrary loan. You can order interlibrary loan articles online on the library’s website. Articles will be delivered to your email address.
Please note that you may or may not use all the sources cited in your Annotated Bibliography, which is part of your preliminary research. Whether you use a source depends on your thesis or purpose.
A word of caution: do not use non-scholarly sources or any online sources, especially Wikipedia or Sparknotes. If you rely on these sources, you will fail the assignment.
If you plagiarize, you will receive a zero for the assignment and may fail the class.
I will only accept Word files; do not use PDF.
Do not use online bibliography help, services that supposedly put your citations in correct MLA style – these sources are not accurate or reliable. You are responsible for understanding and implementing correct MLA style in your citations and in your papers.

The Research Paper Assignment What is a Research Paper? In this class, the research paper is defined as a literary analysis, (see my handout on how to write a literary analysis in this module), a paper that explains and interprets a specific idea about one of the texts assigned in the course. Remember that you are using the primary source, the text, to support a specific reading – to do this process, you must do a close reading of your text. This involves finding evidence from the primary text to support your argument, your claim or thesis. You are also required to use scholarly eviden ...

PAPER ASSIGNMENT
Format
The term paper for this class will be a thesis-guided argumentative academic paper that is to be at least 2000 words long. It must contain a thesis statement that states your paper’s main scholarly idea. This thesis should be explained and supported by sufficient analysis and interpretation. The paper should adhere to college level grammar and syntax. Be aware that every architectural part has its proper name or term. Using the right terminology makes the reader more confident about your knowledge of the subject you are writing about. There should be at least one illustration as well as correctly formatted foot- or endnotes.
Most of the formulations and statements in your paper will be arguments. These are usually presented in individual paragraphs, which should be organized in an easily recognizable narrative sequence that presents and argues your topic in the most convincing manner. In general, use language that connects you to the reader of your paper. Inform the reader of your position towards the paper topic and the thesis you are making. Use a formal academic tone and complex sentence structure for the arguments you make, but also introduce a rhythm with more personal comments about the information you provide.
Close your paper with a conclusion, in which you tie your solution back to the initial question and thesis of the paper. Since your reader knows now more than before reading your paper, it might be interesting for him/her to learn the larger context of your topic. Through this, your reader may remember your paper more vividly.
Revise your paper until you have reached a simple and direct way to present your thesis and arguments.
Topic
The paper topic is described earlier in this syllabus. The paper should present “productive” knowledge. This type of knowledge is different from “acquisitive” one that you simply copy from existing publications. The paper must answer questions of “why,” not just of “what.” It should contain propositional thoughts about architecture, e.g., how it fits into the everyday life of a place and its people, or how it evolved over time, or how the problems it faces today have developed through its history. To accomplish this task, you should formulate a speculative idea, which you then explain with, and analyze against, the existing body of knowledge about architecture. Beginning the paper with a question about this idea will be the best approach to finishing this assignment.
To a large part, analyzing means collecting (believable and convincing) evidence that support your paper’s topic. For this paper, most evidence will come from established and accepted research texts on the topic you have chosen. You must explain objectively how the evidence you picked supports your thesis. It is this connection that is most important to the reader of your paper. To complete this successfully, you must take good notes from your research.

Abstract
Following generally accepted rules for preparing manuscripts will help students confidently structure professional papers. This manuscript provides a basic layout for students to apply in this program and in their professional writing. The approach is based upon the sixth edition of the APA guidelines (2009). The topics of general formatting, the introduction, section headings, quotations, citations, conclusion, and references are discussed. The APA guidelines define an abstract as a single paragraph, without indentation, that summarizes the key points of the manuscript. The purpose of the abstract is to provide the reader with a brief summary of the paper, such as this abstract. The total length should not exceed 120 words, with each sentence written concisely.
Introduction
Learning to write in a recognized
professional format, such as APA, will help students achieve effective academic and professional writing. Using an established manuscript format is more efficient for the author and the reader, leading to more effective communication. According to a College Board (2004) su.
Intercultural Concept Analysis Paper Due as noted in Learn b.docxnormanibarber20063
Intercultural Concept Analysis Paper
Due as noted in Learn by 11:59 pm
This paper will be your opportunity to discuss your understanding of class readings, concepts,
and discussions. The purpose of this paper is to help you synthesize and analyze different ideas
and concepts, not just summarize them. The first step is to select a specific topic or concept to
explore. Then, chose one of the articles assigned this semester that discusses that concept. Next,
fine two academic articles in the field of communication that also discusses this concept. I
recommend using the EBSCO host search for the Communication & Mass Media Complete
database through the Cline’s website. After reading your independently selected articles, you will
write a 4-5 page paper.
• You may want to begin your search by consulting the following journals: Journal of
International & Intercultural Communication; Communication and Critical/Cultural
Studies; Communication, Culture & Critique
Start by offering a clear definition of the concept under discussion as defined by the authors’ of
the articles you have selected. This is your chance to move beyond using a dictionary for
definition, look at the course reading and academic journal articles and see how the author define
the concept. They may not spell it out completely, you may have to read between the lines and
paraphrase their definition.
You will be graded on your engagement of the material and your grasp of the concept discussed
in class. Use the same process that you have been practicing in the collaborative reading
assignments. How do the three articles discuss the same concept: do they agree with each other,
do they approach the concepts differently (disagree with each), does one of the articles
complicate or expand the discussion of the concept? These are all elements that can be addressed
in this paper.
Draw on the readings in a thoughtful, meaningful manner. Use direct quotes sparingly, a quote
should be used to support what conclusion you draw, not replace your own voice. This is not
about your opinion but building an argument. Provide academic evidence to support your point.
As such, this paper should be written in third person rather than using “I” or “we”. Be sure to
provide page numbers for direct quotes in addition to author(s) last name and year of publication
for all citations. Include a references page for any reading or text mentioned in your article.
Formatting
• 1-inch margins all the way around.
• Double-spaced, no extra spacing between paragraphs.
• 12 pt. font, Times New Roman
• APA format for in-text citations and references at end of paper.
Use APA style to cite and reference readings. Assistance on APA format is available through the
Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL): http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

Full Title of Your Paper
An introductory paragraph prepares your audience to read the rest of your paper. What do you need to tell them? Give a brief description of your topic. Do not go into specific details, save those for body paragraphs. Also, your introduction needs to contain your thesis statement, which is the main idea or purpose of your paper stated in one sentence. Do not list all of your points or subtopics in your thesis statement—find a way to encompass all of your points in a succinct manner. Do not narrate your paper with thesis statements such as, “This paper will demonstrate the need for healthier school lunches.” Instead, simply state your position, “Public schools need to provide healthier lunches.” Notice the heading of this paragraph is the title of the paper and it is in bold. Do not use the word, “Introduction” as a heading for this paragraph.
First Main Section of the Paper
Use the instructor’s instructions and/or rubric to determine how you will organize the content of the paper. Use Level 1 headings (centered, bold, with all main words capitalized) for the main sections of the paper. For example, you are writing about personal health. In the instructions the three areas of personal health about which you are required to write are physical health, mental health, and social health. You would use those areas as the main sections of your paper. You could even use those exact terms as the Level 1 headings. Since the instructions listed physical health first, you should make that the first main section of your paper.
Subsection of the First Main Section
If a main section of your paper has more than one aspect or subsection about which you will write, then break the main section into subsection. For example, physical health has multiple aspects to it, such as nutrition, exercise, and sleep. Therefore, you would want to include subsections for those aspects. For our example, this subsection would be about nutrition.
Each subsection begins with a Level 2 heading which flush left, in bold, and has all of the main words capitalized. If you wish to use subsections, you must have at least two for that main section. In other words, if you want to use Level 2 headings, you must have at least two under the Level 1 heading you are subdividing. The same goes for Level 3 headings; there must be at least two Level 3 headings under the Level 2 heading you are subdividing.
Another Subsection of the First Main Section
This would be another subsection of the first main section. Going back to our example, this subsection would be about exercise. In addition to organizing your paper, you often need to include source material as support. There are three ways to include source material ...

Corporal Punishment:
Legal Reform as a Route
to Changing Norms
THE TERM “HARMFUL TRADITIONAL PRACTICES” TYPICALLY BRINGS TO MIND CHILD
marriage, female genital mutilation/cutting, and so-called “honor kill-
ings,” but rarely corporal punishment. Yet corporal punishment is
arguably the most pervasive harmful traditional practice children expe-
rience today. In nearly every part of the world, parents use physical
punishment to “discipline” their children. Such corporal punishment
typically takes the form of hitting a child with a bare hand or an object
such as a stick or paddle. A 2014 survey found that four of every five
children between the ages of two and 14—an estimated 1 billion glob-
ally—experience physical punishment in their home on a regular basis
(UNICEF 2014, 96).
The practice of corporal punishment is rooted in both cultural
norms and religious belief. Parents often believe that corporal pun-
ishment will teach children good behavior. They hit their children be-
cause it is socially accepted and because they themselves often were
hit growing up. Some religious teachings appear to justify the prac-
tice.1 The adage “spare the rod, spoil the child,” rooted in the Old Tes-
tament Book of Proverbs, suggests not only that corporal pun.
Database Project Charter/Business Case
Khalia Hart
University of Maryland Global Campus

Introduction
A database is an electronic collection of data that is built by a user so that they can access, update particular information in the database coherently or rapidly. Today firms employ integrated technology to increase their capacity to serve more clients, keep information well or effectively, organize activities according to the urgency or priorities, accounting records (Tüttelmann F, 2015). Most of the integrated technology depends on multiple databases that supply information relevant in making the decision. Since the business started using databases, their performance increase because the business decisions they make are sound and practical.
Business Problem
The supply chain management is one of the most complicated processes in the business and often at times due to need of detail it gets hard for the supply chain manager to keep the record of the work covered effectively, have enough data to make the decision and also have enough data to monitor the chain of operation (William, 2019). The supply chain has been so crucial for the business because it determines the performance of the company in the industry by assessing the quality of the product produced in the organization, cost of production, the time and effectiveness of distribution network, and overall production operation of the organization.
Operation management has been named as the leading cause of business failure caused by a lack of a system, which the manager or the supervisor can use to monitor the whole system. This is the problem to solve using the database (William, 2019). Using a database, the manager can observe or watch the entire chain from their office, make better decisions by fore- planning approach of the database also make changes within the system when there is the need to cut costs or making the process effective.
Project Scope
Most business organizations are spread in operation, and this is the challenge that makes the supply chain management complex (Tüttelmann F, 2015). This is because the chain is in different localities, and therefore, coordination of operation among the user or the workers becomes a challenge. Through the database system, the business will enjoy proper coordination using the wide Area Network (LAN). Through the LAN network, the company can link computers and cost-effectively share data and communication. Through this system, the company will have a connection and coordination of the processes within the organization. The number of connected devices will range from 10 to 1000, depending on the type of tools and system that is set to facilitate this connection.
Goals and objectives of the system
The purpose of the system that I want to install in the supply chain management is to;
· Monitoring of the supply chain- the system will enable the manager to monitor the system and every process in the order (Gattor.

Kraft Reformulates Oreo, Scores in China
Julie Jargon. Wall Street Journal. (Eastern edition). New York, N.Y.: May 1, 2008. pg. B.1
Abstract (Summary)
Kraft, the world's second largest food company by revenue, reported a 13% drop in first-quarter net income Wednesday
because of high commodity costs and increased spending on product research and marketing. Television commercials
showed kids twisting apart Oreo cookies, licking the cream center and dipping the chocolate cookie halves into glasses of
milk.
(c) 2008 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. Reproduced with permission of copyright owner. Further reproduction or distribution

Unlike its iconic American counterpart, the Oreo sold in China is frequently long, thin, four-layered and coated in chocolate. But
both kinds of cookies have one important thing in common: They are now best sellers.
The Oreo has long been the top-selling cookie in the U.S. market. But Kraft Foods Inc. had to reinvent the Oreo to make it sell
well in the world's most populous nation. While Chinese Oreo sales represent a tiny fraction of Kraft's $37.2 billion in annual
revenue, the cookie's journey in China exemplifies the kind of entrepreneurial transformation that Chief Executive Irene
Rosenfeld is trying to spread throughout the food giant.
Kraft, the world's second largest food company by revenue, reported a 13% drop in first-quarter net income Wednesday
because of high commodity costs and increased spending on product research and marketing. Its international business,
which now represents 40% of Kraft's revenue thanks to the company's recent acquisition of Groupe Danone's biscuits
business, was a bright spot in the quarter, aided by the weak dollar. Kraft's profit in the European Union rose 48%, excluding
special charges, and its profit in developing markets rose 57%.
To try to increase growth at the company, Ms. Rosenfeld has been putting more power in the hands of Kraft's various
business units around the globe, telling employees that decisions about Kraft products shouldn't all be made by people at the
Northfield, Ill., headquarters.
To take advantage of the European preference for dark chocolate, Kraft is introducing dark chocolate in Germany under its
Milka brand. Research in Russia showed that consumers there like premium instant coffee, so Kraft is positioning its Carte
Noire freeze-dried coffee as upscale by placing it at film festivals, fashion shows and operas. And in the Philippines, where
iced tea is popular, Kraft last year launched iced-tea-flavored Tang. Ms. Rosenfeld has also been encouraging marketers to
"reframe" product categories, no longer thinking, for example, that an Oreo has to be a round sandwich cookie.
Oreos were first introduced in 1912 in the U.S., but it wasn't until 1996 that Kraft introduced Oreos to Chinese consumers.
Nine years later, a makeover began. Shawn Warren, a 37-year-old .

Database System Overview
1.1 Business Environment
Office Depot, Inc is an American retail store company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Florida, United States. The company provides office and school supplies with 1400 retail stores and e-commerce sites. The supply includes everything to their customer like latest technology, core school and office supplies, printing and documenting service, furniture and other services like cell phone repair, tech and marketing service etc.
Recently there were too many complaints from existing and new customer that the online site is super glitch and lagging. Another customer posted that the delivery did not come on the scheduled day. And they cannot track down the order because the website does not have tracking information. Also when the website is down, customer service cannot help to see the order details either and therefore, they feel it’s frustrating to order online and therefore want to cancel the order. One other customer posted in the website grievance section that the “label maker” showed available in the stock even though it was out of stock when verified with the customer service representative. With every product not in stock, we lose opportunity of sale which costs the store. This not only affect customer but also affect company. We are so dependent on the data, most of the time staff has to correct accounting report, sales estimates and invoice customer manually which is very time-consuming in an excel sheet.
In order to solve above issues and avoid sales loss, Office Depot must have a database to store and maintain correct count of the products. This database will help inventory management i.e. tracking products, update inventory, find popular or less popular item, loss prevention, track inventory status and perform data mining. The staff can access this database via a computerized database. (Gerald H., Importance of inventory database retail)1.2 Database system goals and objective
The mission of the company is to become number one retail company by creating inclusive environment and great shopping experience where both customer and employees are respected and valued. To achieve the retail store mission, we are committed to provide secure and robust data base system for ou.
Database Security Assessment Transcript You are a contracting office.docxwhittemorelucilla
Database Security Assessment Transcript You are a contracting officer's technical representative, a Security System Engineer, at a military hospital. Your department's leaders are adopting a new medical health care database management system. And they've tasked you to create a request for proposal for which different vendors will compete to build and provide to the hospital. A Request For Proposal, or RFP, is when an organization sends out a request for estimates on performing a function, delivering a technology, or providing a service or augmenting staff. RFPs are tailored to each endeavor but have common components and are important in the world of IT contracting and for procurement and acquisitions. To complete the RFP, you must determine the technical and security specifications for the system. You'll write the requirements for the overall system and also provide evaluation standards that will be used in rating the vendor's performance. Your learning will help you determine your system's requirements. As you discover methods of attack, you'll write prevention and remediation requirements for the vendor to perform. You must identify the different vulnerabilities the database should be hardened against.
Modern healthcare systems incorporate databases for effective and efficient management of patient healthcare. Databases are vulnerable to cyberattacks and must be designed and built with security controls from the beginning of the life cycle. Although hardening the database early in the life cycle is better, security is often incorporated after deployment, forcing hospital and healthcare IT professionals to play catch-up. Database security requirements should be defined at the requirements stage of acquisition and procurement.
System security engineers and other acquisition personnel can effectively assist vendors in building better healthcare database systems by specifying security requirements up front within the request for proposal (RFP). In this project, you will be developing an RFP for a new medical healthcare database management system.
Parts of your deliverables will be developed through your learning lab. You will submit the following deliverables for this project:
Deliverables
• An RFP, about 10 to 12 pages, in the form of a double-spaced Word document with citations in APA format. The page count does not include figures, diagrams, tables, or citations. There is no penalty for using additional pages. Include a minimum of six references. Include a reference list with the report.
• An MS-Excel spreadsheet with lab results.
There are 11 steps in this project. You will begin with the workplace scenario and continue with Step 1: "Provide an Overview for Vendors."
Step 1: Provide an Overview for Vendors
As the contracting officer's technical representative (COTR), you are the liaison between your hospital and potential vendors. It is your duty to provide vendors with an overview of your organization. To do so, identify infor.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Exegesis Research Paper Instructions
Using Introduction to Biblical Hermeneutics by Kaiser and
Silva as a reference guide, you will write an Exegesis Research
Paper submitted in 3 parts. You will choose between 3 biblical
passages listed below on which to write the paper.
Passage Options:
· Psalm 1:1–6
· Mark 4:26–34
· Ephesians 4:7–16
Each part of the paper will begin the process of helping you
gain experience with submitting an Exegesis Research Paper
through the following stages:
Part 1: Introduction and Context of the Passage
2. You will write an introduction that serves as an overview of the
content of the paper, providing background and cultural
information about the setting of the book in which the selected
passage occurs. You will write a thesis/purpose paragraph that
alerts the reader as to what you plan to achieve in the writing of
the paper. Identify the literary context of the selected passage
and discuss its relevance for interpreting the passage. Each
section will have its own heading following current Turabian
style. Be sure the paper uses the School of Divinity
Standardized Title Page and reflects a graduate level of
vocabulary.
Part 2: Meaning of the Passage and Bibliography
Rewrite Part 1 as needed, taking into consideration any
feedback provided by the professor. In addition, address the
meaning of the passage, utilizing resources identified in the
accompanying bibliography. List 10 sources relevant to the
paper, cited in current Turabian format as interpreted by the
School of Divinity Writing Guide. The sources must be current
and scholarly (written by academics with credentials that
qualify them to write, not popular treatments written for laity)
using those found in the ATLA database as a guide.
Part 3: Significance of the Passage (Final Version)
Rewrite Parts 1 and 2 as needed, taking into consideration any
feedback provided by the professor. In Part 3 of the paper,
address the significance and application of the passage to the
Christian life and church ministry. Each paper must have a
coherent conclusion that summarizes the content of the textual
analysis. Submit a 2,500–3,000-word final version of the paper
(double-spaced, in 12-point font). You must carefully edit the
final version for spelling, grammar, and syntax. Perfection in
the implementation of current Turabian format is expected.

Since the Bible is considered a sacred work, cite it initially in
the footnotes and subsequently in
parenthetical references. For example, note the parenthetical
reference in the following sentence:
10. Christ declares his exclusive salvific value when he states, “I
am the way, the truth, and the life”
(John 14:6). The Bible reference is not included within the
quotation marks because it is not a
part of Christ’s declaration. The period would come after the
parenthesis because you cannot
begin a new sentence without a period immediately preceding it.
identified in the text with a
parenthetical reference (e.g. I Cor 1:13, ESV). Even if you
translated the Greek (or
Hebrew) text yourself you must identify the fact that this is
your own translation. If you
choose to use the same Bible translation (such as the English
Standard Version)
throughout the paper you should add a footnote in your first
usage stating “Unless
otherwise noted, all biblical passages referenced are in the
English Standard Version.”
This means that you will not need to reference the version of
the Bible in subsequent
citations unless you change the version. For example, if the
student identified the English
Standard Version as the primary version but chose to use the
New International Version
(NIV) when quoting a particular verse such as John 14:6, the
parenthetical citation
following the passage would be (John 14:6, NIV). Whatever
translation (other than your
11. own), it should be italicized since a translation is a book title.

first citation, you do not need a full citation; instead use a
“shortened note.” A shortened
note should provide the author’s (or authors’) last name(s), an
abbreviated version of the
book title (in four words or less), and the page number. An
example of this is in the
footnote below taken from the previously cited source, A
Manual for Writers of Research

preferred that you cite the

Introduction (First-Level Subheading)
Since most beginning students will have difficulty learning how
to write papers and also format papers correctly using the eighth
edition of Kate L. Turabian’s, A Manual for Writers of Research
Papers,[footnoteRef:1] this sample paper can be used as a
template for inserting the correct parts. For the purpose of
instruction, it will use second person, but third person must be
used in student papers. You will notice that the first time
Turabian’s name is written in the paper, her full name is given,
38. but the second and subsequent uses of her name will be her last
name only. [1: Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of
Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 8th ed., rev. Wayne
C. Booth, et al. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2013).]
Though some written assignments will not require a table of
contents, Liberty University School of Divinity (hereafter
referred to as SoD) requires all research papers to have a table
of contents and abide by basic Turabian rules.
Number all pages of this element with roman numerals. Label
the first page Contents at the top of the page. If the table of
contents is more than one page, do not repeat the title. Leave
two blank lines between the title and the first listed item.
Single-space individual items listed, but add a blank line after
each item. Between the lists for the front and back matter and
the chapters, or between parts or volumes (if any), leave two
blank lines.[footnoteRef:2] [2: Ibid., 380.]
It is important to note that a table of contents does not list the
pages that precede it, only those pages that follow it. Be sure
that the first letter of each word is capitalized (other than
articles and prepositions within the phrase).
The footnote can be inserted in the middle of a sentence, but
preferably following some punctuation (i.e. semicolon, comma,
etc.). The SoD prefers that students use superscripted footnotes;
however, we know that Microsoft Word 2013 defaults to
standard font size followed by a period for the footnote. The
footnote below is the proper form for books. If you are going to
create a footnote for a journal article, you would use a different
format as shown below.[footnoteRef:3] The footnote below is a
full footnote from a journal article found in Liberty’s online
library using an American Theological Library Association
(ATLA) search. You can use an abbreviation in the body of your
paper once it has been defined (as above). [3: Anthony C.
Thornhill, “The Resurrection of Jesus and Spiritual (Trans)
39. Formation,” Journal of Spiritual Formation & Soul Care 5, no. 2
(Fall 2012): 243. Notice that the footnote identifies the exact
page number of the citation that is used in the text (the example
given is from page 243) whereas the bibliographic entry (in the
bibliography) must include the inclusive numbers for the entire
article (i.e. 243-56). ]
You are asked in the course, “Research, Writing, and Ministry
Preparation,”[footnoteRef:4] to learn the proper formatting of
your papers as well as to learn how to conduct research, plan
the details of a paper or report, and write your paper in a
manner that your professor and classmates will be able to
understand. Usually, you will finish your introduction with a
full thesis statement. [4: Notice the comma was placed inside
the quotation marks when the course title “Research, Writing,
and Ministry Preparation” was written. Soft punctuation (such
as a comma or a period) is always inserted inside the quotation
mark whereas hard punctuation (such as a question mark,
exclamation point, colon, or semicolon) is placed outside the
quotation mark.]
Do not confuse a purpose statement with a thesis statement. A
purpose statement states the reason why the paper is written.
For all practical purposes, the purpose statement introduces the
thesis statement. An example of a purpose statement is, “The
purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that when one
recognizes God’s freedom he/she can find biblical inerrancy
defensible.” An example of a thesis statement is, “Biblical
inerrancy is defensible in the context of divine freedom.”
Remember, it is the purpose and thesis statements that
determine the form and content of an outline.
The distinction between a purpose statement and a thesis
statement is important. The purpose of this sample paper is to
provide a template for the correct formatting of a research
paper. The thesis is, “Students who use this paper as a sample
or template are more likely to format their papers correctly in
40. the future.”
First Major Section (First-Level Subheading)
You will notice that the title of the first major section heading
is centered and bold type. Within each heading and subheading,
all words must be capitalized unless it is an article (a, an, the),
preposition (on, to, by, from, in with, etc.), or coordinating
conjunction (and, but, or, not, for). There are two blank lines
above the heading and one below.[footnoteRef:5] [5: Turabian,
Manual for Writers, 393.]
This was accomplished by highlighting the title and changing
the formatting for just those lines to single space in the
“Paragraph” menu above. The footnote below is the proper form
for using a source that has been used previously (commonly
referred to as a “second reference”). The first footnote has
complete information, and later footnotes use an abbreviated
form.
First Subhead (Second-Level Subheading)
This section will be the first sub section of the first major
section. Note that the second level subheading is centered with
each word capitalized (except for articles and prepositions) and
not bold. Notice again the additional blank space above (again
two blank lines before a subheading and one after). This is done
by writing the subhead and then beginning the paragraph. Then
return to the subhead and highlight the entire row in which it
appears. Using “Paragraph” above, it is possible to remove the
indentation and make that row single space. Then you can return
and move the subhead down one additional space as well as add
one space below.
This sample paper generally uses one paragraph per subhead. It
is important to understand, however, that subheadings in a
research paper must have at least two paragraphs. As a
paragraph is a group of sentences that express one main idea,
41. most sections (subheads) need more than a single paragraph to
support their proposition.
Second Subhead (Second-Level Subheading)
Remember that you must always have at least two subheads per
level.[footnoteRef:6] You cannot have just one subhead at any
particular level. If this occurs, then divide the information into
at least two sections at that level or simply remove the subhead
altogether. When having to cite the same source in immediate
sequence, use Ibid. (note the second footnote on page one).
Avoid too many uses of ibidem (abbreviated Ibid.) by making
use of multiple sources. It is also important to note that Ibid.
cannot be used as the first footnote entry on a page (see
footnote number six at the bottom of this page). As an
abbreviation, the term Ibid. must be followed by a period even
if used in the middle of a sentence. [6: Turabian, Manual for
Writers, 329.]
Any number used in the text that is under one hundred and any
whole number of hundreds should be spelled completely within
the body of the paper (one hundred, two hundred,
etc.).[footnoteRef:7] Generally, if the number can be written
with two words, it should be spelled completely. For numbers
written with more than two words (i.e. 108, 210, etc.), the
numerals should be used. However, you should never mix the
styles. If any number used has to be written with numerals, then
all should be in the same style (i.e., 98, 108, 210, 300; not
ninety-eight, 108, 210, three hundred). Of note here is an
exception that when writing percentages in the text, you would
write 98 percent or 100 percent, and so forth; always using the
numeral, but writing out “percent.” [7: The exception is within
a footnote where all numeric numerals can be used (e.g. 100,
200, etc.). ]
42. Second Major Section (First-Level Subheading)
First Subhead (Second-Level Subheading)
The title of a heading cannot be left alone at the bottom of a
page. If there is not enough room on the previous page for both
the heading title and at least the first two lines of the paragraph,
you must begin a new page. You can have two headings in a row
as above separated by one blank line (but again, not alone at the
bottom of the page).
First Subsection Subhead (Third-Level Subheading)
Note that the third-level subheading subhead is flush-left in
bold type, but the same spacing above and below is maintained.
This is true of the second subhead that follows. Though the
margins and the type (bold or regular) changes, the spacing
remains constant.
Second Subsection Subhead (Third-Level Subheading)
This is the second subhead because it is always necessary to
have at least two items at every level. This is an important
clarification. There must be a second major section (level one)
for every first major section (level one). There must be a
second subhead (second level) for every first subhead (second
level). There must be a second subsection subhead (third level)
for every first subsection subhead (third level), and so forth.
Second Subhead (Second-Level Subheading)
This is the second subsection of the second major section. Once
again it is centered but in regular type. When writing a paper,
organize your outline first so that you are able to plan how you
43. will make your argument and then give your reasoning and
evidence to support your thesis statement. Your first paragraph
of each section should explain how this will fit into your
reasoning and then each section will end with a summary of
how the evidence has shown your reasoning to be correct. Also,
transitions are very helpful at the end of each major section so
that the reader anticipates how the next section is connected to
the logical progression of the reasoning you use to support your
thesis.
Most graduate research papers will be no longer than twenty
pages and generally do not have long and detailed outlines or
subheadings beyond the third level. Details that would be
appropriate for the fourth or fifth heading level tend to distract
the reader’s attention from the overall thesis within a short
essay. Even if a fourth level is unavoidable, a fifth level is
discouraged.
Examples of Citing the Bible (First Level)
Many students struggle with the proper formatting in citing the
Bible. When citing biblical passages, there are some general
guidelines to follow that are important. It is not necessary to
write out full citations of verses or paragraphs from the Bible
since your readers can find the references that you cite.
Citations are written in full when the author needs to make a
specific observation, such as when he/she chooses to follow
Luke’s example in his message to Theophilus; “so that you may
know the exact truth about the things you have been taught”
(Luke 1:4).[footnoteRef:8] You will notice in the footnote
below that only a single footnote is needed when identifying the
Bible version, providing the paper cites from only one
translation. All the following biblical references are given in
the text of the paper, not in the footnotes, unless content in the
footnote requires biblical references. If you use multiple
translations or versions of the Bible, then you would have to use
one footnote for each new version and use a system of
44. abbreviations in the text, but only within parentheses (NASB,
KJV, NIV, etc.). The writing is simplified if you choose one
version of the Bible and use it exclusively. Then you can
provide a disclaimer footnote to that effect as stated in footnote
number eight. [8: Unless otherwise noted, all biblical
passages referenced are in the English Standard Version
(Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2008).]
In the actual text of a paper you need to follow proper
grammatical and style requirements. Here are some correct
examples of how to cite references or allusions from the Bible.
Luke wrote to Theophilus in verse four of his first chapter so
that his patron would have a more exact understanding of the
details of the salvation offered also to the Gentiles. Luke claims
that he wrote his Gospel, “in consecutive order,” after having
“investigated everything carefully from the beginning” (Luke
1:3). In verse one of chapter one, Luke seems to be aware of
previous Gospel accounts, but in Luke 1:2, he claims that he has
information from eyewitnesses. You will note in the previous
example that you are permitted to use standard biblical
references like Luke 1:2 within a sentence as long as you
introduce it as a biblical reference rather than as part of your
text.
The abbreviations for the books of the Bible can be used only in
parentheses within the text or in footnotes.[footnoteRef:9] For
example, you may make a reference to Romans 1:16, but if you
state that Christians should not be ashamed of the gospel (Rom
1:16), then you should use the abbreviation within parentheses.
The following examples are all correct: Paul, in verse sixteen of
chapter one of his Epistle to the Romans, states that he is not
ashamed of the gospel; Paul states that he is not ashamed of the
gospel (Rom 1:16); and in Romans 1:16, Paul states that he is
not ashamed of the gospel.[footnoteRef:10] [9: When
abbreviating books of the Bible, do not use the Turabian
recommended list; consult the LBTS Writing Guide, Appendix
A.] [10: Notice the word “gospel” is not capitalized when
45. referring to the evangelical message (i.e. “good news”). It is
capitalized when referring to one of the first four books of the
New Testament.]
Finally, when citing multiple chapters or multiple verses,
certain expectations exist. If you choose to cite several
consecutive chapters, then use a dash (3-em dash) such as
Romans 1–5, which is equivalent to Romans chapters one
through five. If you choose to cite several consecutive verses,
use a normal hyphen (-) such as Romans 3:21-26. If the verses
are not in consecutive order, then use a comma, such as Romans
3:21, 23, and 26. Finally, when chapters are not in consecutive
order, they are separated by semicolons (;), such as Romans 1;
3; 5; and 8. The following sentences are an example of how to
use semicolons. Not only does Jesus possess supernatural
knowledge, but his prophecy of the future destruction of
Jerusalem also reflects his knowledge of Old Testament
prophecies concerning past destructions of Jerusalem (Isa 9:3;
Jer 6:6; 22:8-9; 23:38, 40; and Ezek 4:2). Additionally, since
Matthew writes as if the temple is still standing (5:23-24; 12:5-
7; 23:16-22; and 26:60-61), good evidence exists that he wrote
before AD 70 and that Jesus actually historically predicted the
fall of Jerusalem.[footnoteRef:11] [11: Years before Christ
use the abbreviation BC (Before Christ) or BCE (Before the
Common Era) after the year, as in 100 BC or 100 BCE. Years
after the birth of Christ use AD (Anno Domini; lit., In the Year
of our Lord) before the year as in AD 70. If CE (Common Era)
is used in lieu of AD then the abbreviation follows the year as
in 70 CE. Do not use periods after each letter (BC, not B.C. and
AD, not A.D.). The SoD is more likely to use BC and AD rather
than BCE and CE, but students will find both systems used in
scholarly materials. Additionally, small caps (uppercase
characters set at same height as surrounding lowercase letters)
are often used for AD (ad) and BC (bc). The SoD allows the
student to use regular large caps or small caps.]
46. Conclusion
The conclusion to your paper should reiterate the thesis (though
not necessarily verbatim) and provide your readers with a
concise summary of your major points. A well written
conclusion defends your thesis and provides a clear perspective
of the topic. Its importance cannot be overstated as the
conclusion frames your closing thoughts and should provide a
lasting impression.
