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.

Appalachian Trail Conservancy's $250,000 grant proposal for land acquisition and facility renovation

This project will implement a multi-agency, public-private effort to create safe visitor access, rehabilitate existing resource damage, and reconstruct trails in a premier, heavily-used, rock climbing and hiking area located within a quarter-mile of the Harpers Ferry (State Highway 340). Located within close proximity to the byway, nationally designated for its scenic qualities, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy provides byway travelers ready access to recreational opportunities to take in the scenic beauty of the area by providing access to a variety of climbing and easy hiking opportunities to view amazing rock formations and beautiful scenery. To enhance the byway traveler experience, this project will improve vehicle-pedestrian highway safety; provide for hiker and rock climber safety and education; provide for natural resource protection/rehabilitation/education; and provide a unique ‘get out of the car and walk' byway experience. This includes the provision of an off-highway, family-safe, parking facility from the byway that serves as a trailhead to the climbing and hiking area, and the development and dissemination of consistent resource protection and education messages from all partners across agency boundaries. This project benefits the byway traveler by providing safe, stable, hiking trail opportunities free of visible natural resource damage that wind between towering rock formations and large diameter ponderosa pine trees, provides opportunities to view or climb alongside rock climbers practicing their sport, catch a glimpse of local wildlife, and foster appreciation for and stewardship of the byway's resources.

Stanley Milgram's experiments on obedience to authority and social influence

The contribution of Stanley Milgram has been significant in the field of social psychology. Milgram conducted experiments of human behavior in a laboratory setting and concluded that obedience to authority usually disregards moral or legal normative standards. An individual's behavior is thus shaped by the environment, people around, and his figure of authority. "Because humans are social animals, human behavior is strongly influenced by behavior of other humans; this influence is often very direct"(Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2003; Pg. 18). The current paper investigates as to what extent the human behavior is influenced by others. The paper adopts an investigative approach and cites peer reviewed articles to substantiate the discussion. Social identity theory is also an important theoretical explanation that explains how and why an individual voluntarily gets influenced from socially constructed relationships.

The Battle of the Aleutians: American response and Pacific strategy

This study concerns the Battle for the Aleutians which was the only time during World War II that Japanese occupied American soil and was the first incursion on American soil since the War of 1812. The Aleutian Islands were strategically significant during World War II for both sides but many military historians agree that both sides would have been better off if they had foregone this campaign. The purpose of this study was to provide a review of the primary and secondary peer-reviewed and scholarly literature concerning this battle to develop an informed answer to the study's guiding research question: "How might the American response to the Japanese invasion and occupation be directly linked to the chain of events in the Pacific, and did the ‘forgotten battle' mobilize Americans more than historians have admitted?"
