What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments. In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome. There are two approaches to the process essay. The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task. The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process. The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things. First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary. Next, it needs to identify your audience. Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process. For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process. For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay. If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Public Administration and Policy Analysis

The objective of this work is to compare and contrast the ethics analysis versus the cost benefits analysis approaches to policy analysis. There is a Greek Proverb, which states, "a society grows great when old men plants trees in whose shade they know they will never sit." (Clowney, 2006) Protection of the health of human beings and the natural environment at one time did not appear to make the requirement of such as economic analysis. It is stated in the work of Ackerman (2008) that it is "surprising that cost-benefit analysis is such a failure; at first glance it appears quite reasonable. If only one could assign monetary values to all the costs and all the benefits of a proposed policy, it would become a simple, transparent matter to add up the costs and benefits." (p.2) Many times it is impossible to define all the costs and benefits in monetary terms. Uncertain future results are estimated by analyst who state values based on their best possible guess. The analysts fail to calculate the worst-case scenario into the policy matter debate. Ackerman notes that the complexity and detailed process results in a loss of transparency as well as lost objectivity.
