Research papers are required to be written in APA formatting. Therefore, papers will include the following:
A title page. The upper left hand corner will have your running head (the title of the paper), and on the upper right, page 1. Centered will be your name, the title of the paper, CD 135, Instructor Mark Jacobs, and the date the paper is submitted.
An abstract page. Again, the running head needs to be on the upper left, and on the upper right, p. 2. On this page, you will include an abstract which is a paragraph summarizing what the paper is about. You will also explain what inspired you to pick this particular topic to research. Is this a topic that affects you personally or had affected you personally in the past? If so, how?
Body of the paper. Again, be sure that the running head is on the upper left, and on the upper right, the page number. This is where you report on what you learned from your minimum 3 sources. As you do this, please use as much of your own words as possible. Please don’t spend the entire paper merely copying and pasting from your sources! Also, as you report on what you learned, discuss how all of this is important to you personally (as a parent, as a teacher, as a childcare advocate, etc). Finally, you will include APA formatted citations. The citations will acknowledge what you got from which sources.
References page. Again, be sure that the running head is on the upper left, and on the upper right corner the page number. On this page, you will list your resources, using APA formatting.

Find Two credible sources for each statement below supporting wether agree or disagree with the statement.
Post the first link and write one paragraph explaining the information supporting your believe to be true. then post the second link and do the same.

Hello everyone,
Maintaining a work-life balance is essential for a company’s
success. Employees who feel valued and well-rested tend to work harder
and produce better output. However, there is still a debate on what
work-life balance means. Should it only include paid labor or factor in
family, community, and friendships? This question has been a research
topic for years, and many companies still struggle to find a good
balance, affecting employees’ overall well-being.
Heterosexual women are the most vulnerable group when it comes
to work-life balance. They often have to juggle work responsibilities,
caring for their children, and other household chores. Companies must
broaden their HR policies to address this issue and promote fairness and
diversity. For instance, companies should allow employees to take time
off for personal reasons, even if they don’t have paid time off (PTO) or
are not going on maternity leave. Although some may abuse this policy,
it will improve most employees’ mental health and performance.
Other countries, such as Australia, have implemented laws and
acts to improve work-life balance. For example, they allow part-time
work, time off for family and children, and the ability to negotiate
deadlines without consequences. The United States should also consider
implementing similar policies to make employees happier, healthier, and
more satisfied.
Electronics, such as smartphones and laptops, can also hinder
work-life balance. Employees often feel pressured to check their emails
and websites outside of work hours, affecting their mental well-being.
To address this issue, HR and management should enforce the rule that
work should only be done during work hours and that employees should
only be expected to answer the company’s needs and demands during work
hours.
To improve work-life balance, I recommend educating HR and
management on its importance and enforcing policies that promote it. I
would conduct research and present it to the team with a PowerPoint
presentation. On-going monitoring should include surveys,
questionnaires, and quarterly performance check-ins.

i have my professor comments on an essay that I wrote, and I need u to work on his comments my proffessor notes (This is a solid paper overall. It describes the relationship between social media & political echo chambers using scholarly studies. Quotes are on-topic and well-chosen, and sources are explained with some thoroughness. The reasoning is convincing and the prose is clear throughout. This represents an effective start on the project.
Things to work on: – Why is polarization a problem? The evidence in the paper suggests that social media does contribute to echo chambers / separation and potentially polarization. However, the paper needs evidence to support the assertion that this separation / polarization in online political discourse is harmful.
– In general, the paper would benefit from a stronger, clearer organization: it’s not clear why the paragraphs appear in the order that they do, and there are some other structural issues, such as the lack of a clear thesis statement and some repetition of content (see below). One thing that will help with organization is to avoid starting paragraphs with a sentence that refers to a source. Instead, start each body paragraph with a clear transition / topic sentence that makes an assertion entirely in your own voice and then develops that assertion using the source or sources. This helps you clarify the main point of each paragraph and the role it plays in the larger paper. – The paper needs a stronger, united focused thesis statement summing up the nature of the problem and its negative effects. The last two sentences of the very first para. come close; however, thesis statements generally do not use sources.
– In the definition paragraph (3rd para in the paper), Use a source or sources to help define your two key concepts (echo chambers & polarization).
– In paragraph 4, provide further analysis of the source to more effectively link the quote to the surrounding prose: explain more – why do Jiang et al believe that echo chambers have amplified conflict over covid 19?
– You use the exact same quote from Kitchens et al. in two different places in the paper. The explanation following the quote is also the same.
– It seems you are using APA citation style; if so, use it consistently: label the works cited References and use past tense signal verbs when introducing sources.
– Need to analyze the images as evidence in the body paragraphs; don’t just describe them in the captions.)

Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince is available here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1232
Read and respond to these sections with a very brief summary and your thoughts on the passages: Introduction-Dedication and chapters XIV-XIX.
This response should be 3-4 pages, Times New Roman, 12-point, double-spaced, MLA style. Make sure you have a strong thesis and use supporting evidence to back your claims.
If you use outside sources, then you MUST include in-text citations and a Works Cited. If you read a source and take information from it, that is paraphrasing, and, thus, you need to include an in-text citation. Don’t use long quotes as filler: if you use a long quotation, then your response needs to be longer. Finally, if it’s not matching perfection i will request a ref
