Question 1:

Write Rough Draft: Informative Research Paper

Description

Your assignment is to write a 1,000-word informative research paper over one of the variables that has been shown to be correlated with increasing happiness. These include but aren't limited to exercise, meditation, gratitude, relationships, nutrition, and nature. You will need to use three scholarly articles in the development of this paper and you need to document them using the MLA style.

Process

Build your foundational knowledge about happiness research by viewing Happiness 101; reviewing the University of California at Berkeley's The Center for Greater Good; and viewing the Harvard study of happiness video on How to Create a Good Life.
Do some reading on the variable that you select and locate at least three articles that will assist you in discussing the relationship between the variable and happiness.

Organization

In the introduction, discuss the concept of "happiness" by drawing upon what psychologists and/or philosophers say about it. Provide background information--coming from positive psychology--on the concept of happiness. Lead into background information about the variable you are writing about in the paper and then conclude the 200-word intro with a thesis statement.

In the 600-word body, have two to four major sections of thought in which you provide evidence that supports the relationship between the variable and happiness. This evidence comes from research studies, case studies, and expert opinion.

In the 200-word conclusion, draw conclusions based on everything that you've presented and offer some recommendations.

Document the paper using the MLA 8th edition style.
