In the Social Sciences, students are often asked to come up with a question, to develop an experiment that will expore that question, and then to report the findings of the experiment objectively. The "fun" in the Social Sciences is precisly in these methods. Social scientists make it their business to examine behavior - sometimes the behavior of an individual, other times the behavior of a system, society, or culture. Social scientists believe that careful observation of behavior will reveal patterns in that behavior, indicating that behaviors aren't random but are in fact driven by certain forces. For the social scientist, behavior is something that might be defined and understood. The Social Sciences address many of the questions that concern the Humanities (i.e. What is the nature of friendship?) But these scholars would not examine how the qualities of friendship are important to a fictional character, nor would they deconstruct ancient texts on Platonic love. Instead, the social scientist would consider how he might objectively measure some aspect of friendship. He might construct a study, for example, that indicates how economic or geographical conditions determine (or don't determine) the quantity and quality of friendships. Or he might survey individuals with an abundant circle of friends to see if they report better-than-average psychological health.

123. Incredulity Towards Postmodernism: Some of the main features of postmodernism are discussed initially as a general term, and more specifically, in regards to theoretical writing. http://www.drorism.com/pessoa-baudrillard-postmodernism.php

Incredulity towards Postmodernism: Baudrillard, Pessoa, and the Simulacra of Precession ‘Let's act like sphinxes, however falsely, until we reach the point of no longer knowing who we are; for we are, in fact, false sphinxes, with no idea of what we are in reality. The only way to be in agreement with life is to disagree with ourselves. Absurdity is divine. Let's develop theories, patiently and honestly thinking them out, in order to promptly act against them- acting and justifying our actions with new theories that condemn them. Let's cut a path in life and then go immediately against that path. Let's adopt all the poses and gestures of something we aren't and don't wish to be, and don't even wish to be taken for being. Let's buy books so as not to read them; let's go to concerts without caring to hear the music or to see who's there; let's take long walks because we're sick of walking; and let's spend whole days in the country, just because it bores us.' Bernardo Soares, The Book of Disquiet , p.27

Go back to: Writing at Dartmouth Online Writing Materials Materials for Students Writing in the Humanities General advice for non-majors Helpful search tools and links Writing the Art History paper Writing the English paper ... Writing the Philosophy paper General advice for non-majors On this page: General Advice Evidence and Methods Structuring The Argument Preferred Style of Writing General Advice Every field of study has its own particular purposes, methods, and goals. In fact, the disciplines of, say, English and Chemistry are so very different that a Chem major attempting to write a Lit paper may very well find herself at a loss. "What does the professor mean when he says that we need to create an argument about a text? I need facts to form my hypothesis. Where does one find facts in a work of fiction? Am I supposed to discuss my research methods, as I would in a lab report? What's the point of researching this problem if there can be no definitive answers to the questions anyway?" Before you can begin a writing assignment in the humanities, it's important that you understand why people in the humanities write. If you are a science major, you know that the purpose of your work is to describe and measure phenomena. You write in order to inform others about your findings. The larger purpose of your work is to create consensus among your colleagues. You want to come to agreement in the scientific community as to what can and cannot be considered reliably true. In the humanities, however, the purpose of writing is different. Humanities as a field of study deals with questions for which there are no definitive answers. Consider the questions that have haunted the humanities for centuries: What is justice? The nature of friendship? The essence of God? The properties of truth? While scholars in this field certainly hope to address these questions in ways that are compelling and authoritative, they don't write first and foremost to establish consensus among their peers. In other words, they do not expect to create in their work a reliable, scientific truth.

126. Procedure For Writing A Term Paper The procedure for writing such a report consists of the following steps in choosing a subject for a term paper is to choose one that is too general. http://www.ucc.vt.edu/stdysk/termpapr.html

PROCEDURE FOR WRITING A TERM PAPER Alton L. Raygor University of Minnesota A term (or research) paper is primarily a record of intelligent reading in several sources on a particular subject. The task of writing such is not as formidable as it seems if it is thought out in advance as a definite procedure with systematic perpetration. The procedure for writing such a report consists of the following steps: Choosing a subject Finding sources of materials Gathering the notes Outlining the paper Writing the first draft Editing the paper Now let's look at each of them. CHOOSING A SUBJECT Most good papers are built around questions. You can find subjects in any textbook. Simply take some part of the text that interest you and examine it carefully. Ask yourself the following things about it to see if you can locate a question to answer in your paper. Does it tell you all you might wish to learn about the subject? Are you sure it is accurate? Does the author make any assumptions that need examining? Can two of the more interesting sections in the text be shown to be interrelated in some useful way? Your paper is an attempt to write a well-organized answer to whatever question you decide upon, using facts for the purpose of proving (or at least supporting) your contention. The most common error made by students in choosing a subject for a term paper is to choose one that is too general. (The most specific subject will always have enough aspects to furnish a long paper, if you think about it for a while.)

LEO: Literacy Education Online General Cover Letter Tips Your cover letters are as significant as your resume is. While the resume is, in a sense, a fact sheet, the cover letter is your sales pitches to a specific company. In fact, your cover letters enable you to adapt your background to prospective employers' needs since you'll be writing an individual cover letter for each job application you send out. In general, your cover letters allow you to expand upon and emphasize particular aspects of your resume based upon the requirements of the particular position you're seeking. Therefore, consider what the specific organization needs and address your letter to those needs. Many recruiters can spot form letters and don't take them as seriously as letters adapted to their specific company, so write a carefully adapted letter rather than a generic one that you send to every company to get your foot in the door for an interview.

132. The Walker Percy Project Essay on the postSouthern Renaissance author and the themes of Southern writing in general. http://www.ibiblio.org/wpercy/makowsky.html

Walker Percy and Southern Literature Veronica Makowsky Written for THE WALKER PERCY PROJECT (1996); Makowsky is the author of a number of books, including Caroline Gordon: A Biography (Oxford University Press, 1989); she is Professor of English at the University of Connecticut. "I DON'T LIKE TO BE DESCRIBED as a Southern writer," declared Walker Percy in a 1989 interview. "The danger is, if you're described as a Southern writer, you might be thought of as someone who writes about a picturesque local scene like Uncle Tom's Cabin Gone With the Wind , something like that." ( More Conversations , 223). Percy frequently attempted to evade the danger of being labeled a "Southern writer" by stressing the more existentialist aspects of his work, but his fiction nonetheless remains very much a part of the Southern literary heritage. Southern literature, except for Faulkner, has largely been ignored in traditional American literature books and courses which privilege Northeastern American literary history, leading to the fear of being labeled a "Southern writer" that many Southern authors exhibit. Part I of this essay will briefly delineate the history and themes of Southern literature in order to reveal Percy's connections to his native literature in Part II. What is Southern Literature?

Just between you and I, the case of pronouns is important. Watch out for irregular verbs which have crope into English. Verbs has to agree in number with their subjects. Don't use no double negatives. Being bad grammar, a writer should not use dangling modifiers. Join clauses good like a conjunction should. A writer must not shift your point of view. About sentence fragments. Don't use run-on sentences you got to punctuate them. In letters essays and reports use commas to separate items in a series. Don't use commas, that are not necessary. Parenthetical words however should be enclosed in commas. Its important to use apostrophes right in everybodys writing. Don't abbrev. Check to see if you any words out.
