The general format of a typical paper would be to spend a page or so discussing your topic of interest: Why does it intrigue you? What have you seen in your own life or in the observations of the social world that relate to this topic? Then you would spend two or three pages summarizing the articles you have found. What is the general history of the topic in the research literature? What do the authors of the articles you are using hypothesize about the topic? In the final page or pages of the paper, relate what you have read in the articles to the observations or thoughts you have had about the topic. What have you learned? Summarize those articles, and then reflect back to your original situation and discuss how the management style of your unpleasant boss could have been modified.
