2. Research Objective
The research objective contains the following two sub-topics:
2.1 General Research objective
The general research objective describes the researcher’s main agenda for the research.
The general research objective must be relevant to the research topic and the literature under criticism, as in the introduction.
2.2 Specific research objectives
In the specific research objective, you will point out other agendas arising from the general research objective.
Both the general and specific research questions rely on the main arguments raised by the author.
3.0 Research questions
The research questions need to arise from the research objectives. In this case, each research question should tally or aim to discuss each objective. That is, the more the objectives, the more the research questions.
4.0 Literature Discussions
For instance, this section provides a more in-depth discussion of the research objectives while trying to answer the research questions. The arrangement for all discussions needs to be precise; that is, they need to be under sub-titles. This section discusses all the main arguments raised by different authors on the same literature. Correct citations need to be in the discussions. The discussion needs to be relevant to the literature research topic. All examples need to be cited using the correct MLA format from the sources.
5.0 Recommendation
This section contains the researcher’s main views or suggestions. The views must be relevant to the literature research topic. The researcher’s views aim at criticizing the literature and improving the literature.
6.0 Conclusions
Here, restate the thesis statement. Give an overview of the literature discussions. There are no new points here. Point out all that the paper discussed. End with a summarizing sentence to the whole paper.
