What
role did interaction with your classmates and/or professor play in your
understanding of your topic?
Organizing and supporting your essay
Your essay must include an
introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
The introduction should gain
your reader’s attention, orient the reader to your topic, and state your
thesis.
Here's an example of a thesis
statement:
When I began my research process, I
presumed I knew the topic well and that many sources would support my argument;
however, the more research I did, the more I realized how wrong I was in my
presumption.

Introduction
In the mid of the
Covid-19 pandemic, it was a time to fear others and leave away from them. It
was a time that I feared my siblings and relatives; I could call them nearly
after five hours to confirm their state. It had become like horror, with
everyone fearing what tomorrow shall be. It was a time that, as a medical
practitioner, one had to be afraid. I approached my research paper on the
changes that have been affected by covid -19 negatively with a negative
perception as well. I thought of Covid-19 having entirely ruined the economy
and the livelihoods of the people. The pandemic had also changed the normal,
and now we have a new normal until things are slowly returning to the old
normal. Coronavirus pandemic had brought a view of the world as an unbearable
place to live anymore. This was the first pandemic of its kind that I have
witnessed in my lifetime, and it came to a point in life that I thought there
was no more future, maybe could be there presumably to the strong and stout
optimistic. When I started to work on my research on the negative effects of
coronavirus pandemic, I thought that the research would align with my
assumptions that my sources would support my idea that covid has destroyed the
world; the economy, and the workforce completely and no hope for retreating to
better times, but my presumptions were wrong, economy and the workforce was
affected, but there is evidence of brighter tomorrow.
The Covid-19
pandemic did not entirely disorient the American or the Global workforce
completely. The pandemic caused many changes in the manner people contacted
businesses and office work. Going to research work, I anticipated how the
resources would be entirely on the disruption of the workforce. However, some
research has shown how workers adapted rapidly and shifted to remote working (Butterick
& Charlwood, 2021). There are many people who the nature of their work
could not allow them to work from home, and these were the freight operators
and medical practitioners like the nurse who had to work from the hospitals.
The pressure on the covid-19 was on to the medical practitioners more like the
other workers in the economy. The health workers managed to work within that
environment, given they were the frontline workers in the fight against the
pandemic. So I found that the pandemic made some workers more busy than normal.
Although the healthcare workers were placed at high risk for transmissions, the
pandemic made the demand for health workers go up, meaning that more were hired
and many others worked overtime. It is not entirely that the workforce was
negatively affected, but it presented an opportunity for others to get jobs,
and other maximized their incomes by working overtime. There are also another
lot of people who opted to work from home and managed to deliver from home. Many
tutors, lecturers, and teachers were aiding education from home through video
calling applications and platforms. The situation was not as bad as I thought
it could be portrayed as I walked into this research work.
Additionally, I had assumed that the pandemic negatively affects the quality of deliverables of workers working...
