    CENTURY

    Some of the advancements in science and technology are not be possible without
    research. Research is substantial to learn and discover things that can help in our society.
    Michael Faraday was an English scientist who contributed to the study of
    electromagnetism and electrochemistry. His main discoveries include the principles
    underlying electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and electrolysis. Without his
    research, that study of power generation and power transmission would be impossible
    and the world we live in vastly different. However, research is not just for scientists. We
    as students also have the ability to conduct research.

    CREATING THE RESEARCH QUESTION


    This writing is argumentative. It is also called academic research and the
    documented essay. You must present a clear stand on a particular issue that has at least
    two different or opposing sides. An example of an issue is legalizing same sex marriage
    in the Philippines. In this issue, one position is in favor passing of a law allowing same
    sex marriage; another position rejects the passing of such law.

    Your outline must contain all the main points that follow:
     Your thesis statement
     Your argument and specific support for this argument
     The opposing argument and specific support for this argument
     A list of sources for all the support
    TOPIC 2: CRITICAL THINKING, COLLABORATION, AND THE WRITING PROCESS

    INTRODUCTION
    The ability of every decision maker to make good decisions relies upon their
    ability to think critically. Critical thinking enables you to make the argument more
    interesting. Critical thinkers are more effective when they have the following:
     Creating important questions precisely
     Gathers relevant information
     Open-minded within alternative systems of thought
     Communicates effecting with others

    Critical thinking is the ability to analyze, criticize, and advocate ideas. To reach
    factual reasons based on sound of knowledge or belief.

    HOW TO DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS


    Now that you have understood what critical thinking is, let us now try to develop
    it. First, you must become a self-critic of your own thoughts and actions. You can
    criticize your own thoughts by asking yourself why you believe in something. By
    answering this question, you are able to observe how to respond to a situation in your
    mind. Second is, you need to be able to listen or recognize other people‘s ideas. You must
    hear someone else‘s story, struggles, success, and passion. Third is, when you hear it you
    can take that information and analyze it. Fourth is, communicate with courtesy and in a
    productive way. Fifth is, you must develop a foresight. Predict the future impact of your
    own decisions.

    APPLYING CRITICAL THINKING IN A DOCUMENTED ESSAY


    When you make a research question, you must criticize why you formed that
    question. When you do a research, analyze the ideas and information of your sources.

    TOPIC 3: CONCEPTS OF SOCIAL AND CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE

    At the 20th century, a clear distinction was maintained in most social and cultural
    literature between attitudes, behavior, and between ways and intensity. The concept of
    social and cultural significance is when people spend time conveying information to
    each other about their beliefs and the way they think and behave. In other words, it is
    the interaction of two people coming from different cultures which deals with the
    exchange of information.

    APPLYING THE CONCEPT OF SOCIAL AND CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE IN WRITING A


    DOCUMENTED ESSAY
    In making a research, it is best to consider issues that are relevant in the society.
    It becomes more interesting when your argumentative or documented essay is related
    to the latest phenomena because it catch more attention if it is timely and relevant.
    Information is critical if we pertain to a documented essay wherein data is strictly
    necessary to be able to satisfy or complete the whole thought of the narrative. As a
    writer, you should be mindful with your audience/readers in a sense that you take into
    consideration the concept of social and cultural significance.
