how do I write a persuasive essay on job stress in America?
483431
I would start by determining what I wanted to persuade someone about.\n\nThe obvious choices would be:\n\n1) that working in America is too stressful, which could be supported by evidence of work injuries, psychological standards, and other signs of stress that are researched.\n\n2) that working in America isn't as stressful as in other areas of the world which could be supported with prouctivity requirements from other countries and cultures, expected salaries, weekly work hours, and the like.\n\nOnce you've determined what you want to persuade someone of, you need to find proof to back up your statements. Use a 5 paragraph basic layout and you should be good to go.\n\nI'm an English major, so if you would like me to look over or help you out, feel free to email me (to make sure I notice) at iltat@yahoo.com :)

Take a deep breath first off....\n\nTry finding ways to relieve stress that you can incorporate into your life (try those stress relief body washes in the shower or bath (if bath light candles and turn lights off too) \n\nI dunno what your job is, but if you can find ways to exercise while working you can relieve stress too, look up chair exercises if you sit at a desk, if youa re standing all day find ways to do leg or arm exercises, if you can take a brisk walk on your break or lunch hour (maybe through a park) get a bit of sunshine too its a natural mood booster

First, realize that every one of them would be just as stressed as you are.  Make sure you know your subject very well; the source of some discomfort is fear of failure... if you know your stuff, you will be speaking from knowledge instead of notes.  One thing that works for me is to view this as a discussion more than a presentation and invite interaction from the audience.  This is one time where you will be able to say what you have to say and likely not be interrupted...  so take advantage of the situation and say what you need to say.  It helps if you believe in the message you are conveying.  \n\nOne technique you can use before starting:  take a very deep breath, then let it out very slowly... do this 3 times.  This will force your body to relax, which will help you to relax.\n\nYou'll be great.... no worries!

In the introduction, give a general idea of the issue, question, or ideas you are going to write about. It's especially good if you can get in a "hook" or attention grabber to capture people's interest. For example, "By the year 2060, ninety percent of the country of Bangladesh may be underwater."\nIn the conclusion, summarize your point of view and bring closure to the essay.  \nHere's a website with hints on essay writing.\nhttp://members.tripod.com/~lklivingston/essay/

A lot of us are under stress, but we don't expect others to do our work.  Not to mention that it's plagiarism.\n\nI will, however, happily give you a link that provides information for you to be able to write your short essay.  I wouldn't advise plagiarising from it, though, since it's from the NASA website and is easily found.

Reflection essays express you own feelings an attitudes, your own experiences.  Think of a mirror.  this essay will be you relating yourself to the topic.  I have done several in conjunction with books or poltical topics. say your essay is on how music has shaped the twenty first century youth culture ofr some such.  You would take that topic and explain how you are personally influence in you behavior attitudes and experiences by this topic.  If the essay was not reflective you would not include any personal refrences, only published creditable sources.  In this case you and your life are your only source ( or maybe the book or movie she wants you to reflect on)  They are not that bad,  so just take a deep breath and write down all experiences you have that you can think of with the given topic.  Narrow that down two two to three depending on the length of the essay.   if the essay is two pages types double spaced three would be good. be sure to describe, explain and relate.  Describe the event, explain what it meant, relate it to the topic.  These can be done in various orders and manytimes similtainously.  Lastly find a good solid quote that is topical to sart you essay and maybe another to finish it.  \ntips\n1. write intro and conclusion at the same time.  both are very similar and will contain the same info.\n2. do not introduce new info during conclusion, conclusion reminds them what you have already told them.  \n3. outlines work great to help with flow and transition see your ideas and how they mesh on paper before you begin writing.\n4. read you paper out loud, to someone/ to a mirror it doesn't matter. just reading it aloud will help you find spelling and grammer mistakes as well ashelp you hear flow.\n5. If you need more help ask you teacher alot of peer tutors will help and also sometimes the teacher willl take a look before you hand it in for final grade.\n\ni hope i was a help

If you read a newspaper or go to a site like cnn.com, you will see US and world current events.  Choose one that interests you.\n\nNext, write down some words or phrases about the event.  Are the similar, or leading in a particular direction?  This would be your thesis statement, which should be at the beginning and conclusion of your essay/paper.\n\nHere are some ideas - \n*Sending more US troops to Iraq will hurt not only Iraq and the US, but also the entire MidEast region.\n*US consumers have become more materialistic in 2006, spending money and time on things that are shallow and temporary.  (PS3 and wii come to mind . . .)\n*Coastal regions are very anxious about tsunamis, and overreact at the slightest indication of a "killer wave."  [Or, the opposite - look at what happened recently in Crescent City, CA.]\n* Money spent rebuilding New Orleans without putting effective flood control in place is wasted.\n*If NASA keeps losing Mars vehicles, they shouldn't be trusted to take us back to the moon or to other places.\n\nChoose something that you feel strongly about, and it will make your paper better.

you write a letter like a story and describe how horrible your boss was. say what he did, maybe even how it made you feel and stuff like that. Try to keep it organized. List each seperate incidence in it's own paragraph. You can write whatever but the better it's written and how convincing it is the more it will help your friend.

You know what, I think this is a very easy question to answer. \nGo to companies that are fairly medium to large size, and ask them if they would be interested in letting you host a session on stress. Maybe you could call it, stress in the workplace, or something like that. I have visited some of these at my job I have been at for 10 years, and they are helpful, and many people do show up. Otherwise, find out if you can partner with an insurance provider who provides insurance to businesses. They may be able to partner you in, and keep you permanently, and then you could work for them, and they could tell you where to go to do your sessions.\nGood luck to you. ps...I just read an article on Tyler Perry, where he went from being homeless to a millionaire. He was determined to become successful, with his playwrights and he suffered for it, but he finally made it to the top. It is not about winning, it is about doing as much as you can for yourself on your own, with God's help, and making it. I believe He blesses you for your hard work.

You need to make the first paragraph about what you are going to talk about in the whole essay. Begin with a sample of a problem that happened when there was no supervision. Then list a few examples without telling the whole story. In the next parpgraphs tell the examples and near the end give some examples of ways to prevent this from happening again. In the last paragraph tell what you wrote about in a summary of the problems and solutions and who could be contacted or a group for a committee to make the new rules and how to pay for more staff or technology or whatever you come up with for solutions. My daughter was in the 5th grade and went to the K class to read to the class twice a week. The teacher left her alone with the class and went "home" 1 1/2 blocks from the school,walking! She was very lucky that nothing happened while she was gone. I didn't know about it until it had happened several times. She had not told anyone she was leaving the school either.I got it stopped after I found out! Best wishes and I hope I helped!

Public speaking is a common source of stress for everyone. BELIEVE ME!!!!!  Many of us would like to avoid this problem entirely, but this is hard to do. Whether we work alone or with large numbers of people, eventually we will need to speak in public to get certain tasks accomplished. And if we want to be leaders or achieve anything meaningful in our lives, we will often need to speak to groups, large and small, to be successful.\n\nThe truth about public speaking, however, is IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE STRESSFUL! If you correctly understand the hidden causes of public speaking stress, and if you keep just a few key principles in mind, speaking in public will soon become an invigorating and satisfying experience for you.\n\nPurpose Of This Report\nThe purpose of this Special Report is to help you overcome the fear of public speaking. It begins by discussing ten key principles to always keep in mind. If you approach any problem in life with the right starting principles, everything else will fall into place. On the other hand, if you start with the wrong guiding principles, you can try all you want, but there is little chance you'll improve.\n\nThis Report also reveals eleven "hidden" causes of public speaking stress. I have summarized these eleven causes, along with the ten key principles, at the end of this Report, so you can easily review them.\n\nKey Principles\nPrinciple #1--Speaking in Public is NOT Inherently Stressful\n\nMost of us believe parts of life are inherently stressful. In fact, most of us have been taught to believe that life as a whole is very stressful!\n\nTo deal with any type of stress effectively, you first must understand that life itself, including public speaking, is NOT inherently stressful. Thousands of human beings have learned to speak in front of groups with little or no stress at all. Many of these people were initially terrified to speak in public. Their knees would shake, their voices would tremble, their thoughts would become jumbled . . . you know the rest. Yet they learned to eliminate their fear of public speaking completely.\n\nYou are no more or less human than they are. If they can conquer the fear of public speaking, so can you! It just takes the right guiding principles, the right understanding, and the right plan of action to make this goal a reality.\n\nBelieve me, it's not difficult. I'm a good example of someone who conquered the fear of public speaking. And while I didn't do it overnight, it wasn't difficult. All it took was approaching the problem in the right way.\n\nPrinciple #2--You Don't have to be Brilliant or Perfect to Succeed\n\nMany of us have observed public speakers and thought to ourselves "Wow, I could never be that smart, calm, witty, entertaining, polished . . . or whatever." Well, I've got news for you-- you don't have to be brilliant, witty, or perfect to succeed. That is not what public speaking is all about. I know it may look that way, but it's not. You can be average. You can be below average. You can make mistakes, get tongue-tied, or forget whole segments of your talk. You can even tell no jokes at all and still be successful.\n\nIt all depends on how you, and your audience, define "success." Believe me, your audience doesn't expect perfection. I used to think most audiences did, but I was wrong! Before I discovered this, I used to put incredible pressure on myself to deliver a perfect performance. I worked for days to prepare a talk. I stayed up nights worrying about making mistakes. I spent hours and hours rehearsing what I was going to say. And you know what? All this did was make me even more anxious! The more perfect I tried to be, the worse I did! It was all very disheartening (not to mention unnecessary).\n\nThe essence of public speaking is this: give your audience something of value. That's all there is to it. If people in your audience walk away with something (anything) of val

If you are currently looking for a job, you know what it is like to feel stress. Balancing family, finances, schedules, and other issues make the hunt for a new position arduous. Part of being able to control the stress is knowing what to do. Part of handling the stress is being able to know what NOT to do, too. \n\n(That's the start of an article posted here:)
