I.INTRODUCTION

A.   Hook

I. Start your essay with a hook, not the thesis statement!

Use one of the following strategies:

1.   Find an interesting quote about your word.

B. Background information

I. Give some background information about your word by doing the following:

1.   Start by providing the dictionary definition of the word.

2.   Then, you talk about the origin of the word. What did the word mean thousands of years ago? 

When and how was it first used?

3.   You can also talk about what most people think of when they hear the word

C. Thesis statement

i.   End your introductory paragraph with your thesis statement.

ii.   Thesis = the word youre defining and what it means to you in three points

1.   For example, you might say, To me, being a big sister means being a mentor, a

best friend, and an editor.” Notice how there are three points. These points will be

the focus of each body paragraph. The first body paragraph will be about how

being a sister is like being a mentor, the second will be about how being a sister is

like being a best friend, and the third will be about how being a sister is like being

an editor.

II. BODY PARAGRAPH 1

A. TOPIC SENTENCE

I.   Tell the reader which of your three points from your thesis this paragraph will be about.

1.   For example, my first main point would be: As a big sister, I find that I often

have to act as a mentor for my younger sister. Notice how the main POINT

repeats the word that is being defined in the thesis and repeats language from the

thesis.

B. EXAMPLE/EVIDENCE

i.   Provide a personal example that illustrates your main point.

1.   I would provide an example of how Ive mentored my younger sister. I might talk

about the time I helped her pick her major in college.

C.  EXPLAIN

i.    Explain your example or evidence in detail.

1.   This will take up the most space in your paragraph.

D. LINK

i.   Link everything back to the main point by repeated the topic sentence in different words.

It might be helpful to think of your body paragraphs like little sandwiches. Theyre self-

contained but are part of a larger meal.

1.   I would reiterate my main point by saying the following: Being the older sister, I

sometimes find myself having to take on the role of a mentor.

III. BODY PARAGRAPH 2

SAME FORMAT AS BODY PARAGRAPH 1

IV. BODY PARAGRAPH 3

SAME FORMAT AS BODY PARAGRAPH 1 AND 2

V. CONCLUSION

a.

  Thesis statement

i.   Restate your thesis statement in different words

1.   This helps remind the reader of the main point of the ENTIRE essay. If you find

that your thesis doesnt sync with your body paragraphs, youll need to make

some changes.

b.

  Closing remarks

i.   Wrap up the essay by doing one or more of the following:

1.   If you didnt use a quote in your introduction, you can use one here. Make sure it

relates to what youve discussed in the essay.

2.   Why is your topic important? Why should anyone care?

3.   What do you hope the reader takes away from this essay? What lesson can they

learn from it?

==============

Below are the 2 examples please dont copy the same content used here.

Example 1:

External organizational challenge

Organizations do not exist in isolation and the environment it operates in having factors that influence its operations which are beyond its control and which the organization has to act upon to remain in operation. The external environment is of two types, that is micro environment factors that impact the operations of the company directly and macro environment. These factors sometimes bring challenges to the organizations and actions must be taken to ensure that the business is not affected.
A current example of a challenge that rose is the recent outbreak of coronavirus in China which had the government of China restricts the movement of people in and out of the country with, many flights either delayed or canceled. Different organizations are dealing with the impact of the regulation differently to handle their business. For example, Facebook, have many employees working in China and they need them for the continuation of the business. However, because the company cannot control the virus spread and must follow all the regulations put by China and the world health organization (Sonnemaker, 2020, pg99). To have their employees safe and still run the business, the company halted all the travels that were scheduled to chine which are non-essential and also ordered the employees to continue working but do it from their homes. Working at home strategy has helped the company deal with the challenge easily and their operations have not been affected as it could have been affected if the employees could not be working at all.
If in the same position I would have allowed the employees to work from their homes also to ensure that all the employees are safe but I have them work only when necessary or when the workload is too much to prevent straining them in the condition of uncertainty and fear they are in

=====================

Example 2:

External Business Environment:
The external environment of a business is an important determinant of the success or failure of the business (Mackenzie, 2007). This is usually determined by the strategies employed by the management to adopt and respond to different challenges, which are most often out of the hand of the organization (Bendre,  2020, pg32). A recent example of such a scenario is the challenge posed to businesses operating in Austria regions with bush fires. The tragic bush fires hit the nation back in 2019, and since then more than 11 million hectares have been burned, billions of animals killed and about 30 people killed in the fires.  The government and well-wishers seem to have exhausted their resources in fighting the fires.
Unilever Australia is a branch of the British-Dutch Company based in Netherland, London, Rotterdam and England. The company operations in the nations have been greatly affected by the ongoing bush fires. Just like any business operating in the nation, Unilever success is determined by how it will respond to the issue.  The company has recently responded to the challenge by partnering with Food bank to help those affected. The effort is informed of foods, basic items and care to the victims.
I believe this is a good response made by the company, however, the move may be seen as opportunistic by the nationals. Although the company efforts are meant to help, if they are interpreted as opportunistic, the brand of Unilever could be tainted. To avoid such a backlash, this paper recommends that in addition to partnering with other private organizations, the company should partner with the local and national authorities in Austria. This would mean that the internal managers of the organization should line their strategies with those of the authorities (Bendre , 2020, pg78).

Please read the Economist article titled “Berlusconi’s Bounce.” Reflecting on the article, readings, and current news, identify another leader that has faced “negative” publicity and assess the challenges of leadership in society. Is such behavior common and acceptable? Might citizens of the world feel disinclined to lead because of all the publicity and drama in a leader’s life?
