Write a two-to-three-page essay on a topic of your choice that presents new and surprising information to your reader. Your essay should include some research and should employ a Surprising-Reversal structure.

A Surprising-Reversal essay first presents a common answer to a question, then presents the writer’s new, surprising view on that question. Rather than appearing at the end of the first paragraph, the thesis in a Surprising-Reversal essay appears after the writer has summarized the common view. A Surprising-Reversal thesis will generally take this form: “Although many people believe X (common view), I am going to show you Y (new, surprising view).”
Here are some examples of Surprising-Reversal thesis statements:

• You may think X movie is about, but I will show you that it is actually about Y.
• Although most people believe Native Americans lived in harmony with nature, many Native American tribes altered their environment aggressively, burning down forests to make farming easier and hunting some animals to the edge of extinction.

In a Surprising-Reversal essay, your first paragraph should arouse the reader’s curiosity by posing an interesting question. The next paragraph should first summarize a common or expected answer to the question, then present your thesis—your surprising answer to the question. Then, in two or three paragraphs, provide new, surprising information that reverses or modifies the common view. (Imagine readers who hold a mistaken or overly narrow view of your topic; your purpose is to give them a new, surprising view.) In your final paragraph, summarize your main points and clearly present the significance of your new perspective. Each paragraph should have a clear topic sentence.

Conclusion
(1 paragraph) • Makes final comments about the significance of the writer’s new perspective on the question.

For this essay, you must include at least TWO sources documented in proper MLA format, with in-text, parenthetical references and a list of Works Cited. (Please note: encyclopedias—including on-line encyclopedias like Wikipedia—do not count as sources for this assignment.)
Before you start drafting your essay, make sure you can answer each of the following questions:
1. What question does your essay address?
2. What is the common, expected, or popular answer to this question held by my audience?
3. What examples and details support your audience’s view?
4. What is your own surprising view?
5. What examples and details support this view? Why do you hold this view? Why should a reader believe you?
Write your essay in a classic prose style: clear and concise, specific and engaging.
Make every word count.

A dissertation on how the SMEs are affected in developed and developing countries, however please can the dissertation use SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION, please can it use the FONT -VERDANA and a space f 1.5 in the paper if possible

See attached document. APA 6th edition. I’ve attached resources of the course at the bottom of the overview, and I can share my study notes from onenote on these pre readings if I can get an email to send it to (for view). on those resources. The problem is I haven’t done university before and i’ve been out of school for 10 years, so I don’t know what a good report looks like. I don’t know the language students use, what constitutes a good report etc. My mental health is making it too overwhelming to do this from scratch. I would strongly revize this after having receiving it back however, which would be a much easier approach for my first report.. The purpose of this is to have a baseline.
