About This Topic AI GENERATED

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.

Use of Social Media Being Used by Law Enforcement
The use of social media to enforce laws and capture suspects engenders much of the same derision as surveillance cameras in areas frequented by the public. Accusations of Big Brother are almost cliche. However, so long as it's legal and gets the job done, it is not the fault of law enforcement if criminals are too ambivalent or too stupid to get themselves caught.

Risk Factors to the Onset of Drug Addictions
Drug addiction is not only the problem of the individual who is the drug addict, but is the problem of the whole society. The friends and family of the addict get affected because of the addiction directly since they have to deal with the devastated personality of the person. Moreover, they also have to bear the cost of rehab services or counseling sessions that are needed by these people. There are some reports and medical papers that have concluded that the gene for drug addiction can be passed on from one generation to another (Weaver et. al, 2011). This implies drug addiction is more common in some families as compared to the others. Scientists believe that there is an involvement of some genes in the process of development of drug addiction. If someone has a blood relation, like a parent or a sibling who is a drug addict then that person is at a greater risk of becoming a drug addict too.
