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.

Members of Parliment

My career as legislator would be both abetted and hindered in either the British HOC or the Duma. In the former, I would have greater liberty and scope in introducing, initiating, and promulgating several of my bills. On the other hand, some (such as Private Bills (and Private Group bills) may be excluded from consideration whilst the tedious and lengthy process hinders me with others. As regards the Duma, on the other hand, the reverse is the case: the process is far more expedient assisting me in my role, but I am hindered from introducing and being involved in foreign policy decisions. My involvement too in other bills is less extensive and more limited than it would be were I to belong to the British HOC. As backbencher to either Parliament, I would like to see changes in both areas. In the one, I would like to simplify and de-convolute the process. In the other, I would likely o extend the rights and powers of legislators to include absorption of matters partition to foreign policy. I would also like to include the same democratic policy that the British Parliament has, namely giving the public the right of reviewing and assessing the bill before Government passes it.
