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.

Sexual orientation discrimination in U.S. workplaces: objective and subjective analysis

Pizer et.al went on to state show that 37 percent of the LGBT people have gone to experience workplace harassment during their time there. Furthermore, 12 percent of these people have also gone to lose their job only because of their sexual orientation. The most recent data is of 2011 in which 90% of respondents to a survey of transgender people reported discrimination or mistreatment at work. Furthermore, 47% of the people went on to state that they were discriminated against during the process of hiring, promotion or job retention only due to their gender orientation. This has become a social problem because discrimination carried out by employers leads to a mismatch between qualified workers and jobs that are suited for them. (Klobuchar 1) In the long run, it is seen that this mismatch decreases productivity. It is obvious that a decrease in productivity would go on to harm not only the businesses but also the workers and the economy.

Human consciousness and artificial intelligence: replicating the mind's unique abilities

the systems that produce consciousness in humans is extraordinarily complex, these systems are still guided by natural processes and our understanding of these processes are likely to grow at an exponential rate. To argue that these systems are somehow "special" and "unique" is an argument out of ignorance. Before we understood how the planetary systems worked, we thought we were "special". Before we understood how evolution through the process of natural selection worked, we thought we were "special". Now that we stubble upon a new realm of ignorance, we claim that we are "special" once again. Hunt argued that we are inherently intellectually curious, restless, and maybe even playful. Could it not be the case that we are also inherently biased and should think twice about arguing that we are somehow special in the face of ignorance?
