Type your abstract (summary) here. Note that the abstract paragraph is not indented. The abstract is not the same as your introduction paragraph. Do not use “I” or “we” in your abstract. The abstract’s length should be proportional to the length of the work it is summarizing, between 50 to 250 words.

Notice that main title is repeated above. First paragraph and all paragraphs are indented one half inch. When typing, be sure to type to the end of the line and continue typing without hitting the Enter key on your keyboard. If you hit the Enter key on your keyboard, your paper will not have correct double spacing because you will not be using word wrapping. It is important that your intro paragraph be 2-5 sentences long and that the last sentence is your paper’s thesis sentence.
Put Subtitle Here (subtitles in bold)
Begin your second paragraph here. This is a body paragraph. It should follow the SESC formula: State, Explain, Support, Conclude. The first sentence states the paragraph’s topic. The second sentence explains the paragraph’s topic with more detail. The third, fourth, and fifth sentences should provide support for the paragraph’s topic. If you are using sources, a good place to put them is in the support section. The last sentence of the paragraph concludes and refers back to the paragraph’s main topic.

About admin
Teaching Sociology is very enjoyable for me. Sociology is like a gateway to a plethora of knowledge and understanding. The subject material is directly applicable to real-world events and situations found in everyday life. The methods and concepts of sociology yield powerful insights into the social processes shaping the contemporary world. The ability to identify and understand these processes is valuable preparation for professional participation in an ever changing and complex society.Latest News
