I have attached the outline for this paper, SEE UNIT 5 DB REMOTE WORK.
Write a 2- 2 ½ page draft of an essay that analyzes a relevant change in your field of study. (Business) Your paper must analyze either what caused this relevant change or analyze what effect this change has had. It will also create a research plan for further revision, research, and development.
- Includes 4–5 fully developed paragraphs
- Focuses on one specific, relevant change that has already occurred
- Analyzes either cause or effect and does not take a position or make a recommendation
- Develops the main point through your own thoughts and observations, not through research
- Includes an additional research plan
- Applies APA 6th Edition format
- Avoids the use of outside sources at this point. However, if you use any source in any way in this draft, you must cite the source both in a references page and in text, whether you are quoting or paraphrasing
Assignment Details
Expressing Your Ideas for an Academic Audience and Plan for Additional Research
Apply what you have learned about formal language and academic writing to write your own 2- 2 ½ page draft of an essay that analyzes a relevant change in your field of study. Your paper must analyze either what caused this relevant change or analyze what effect this change has had. It will also create a research plan for further revision, research, and development.
This Unit 6 Assignment essay draft will then be revised to include source information and become your Unit 8 Assignment.
To identify a relevant change in your field of study, consider the following options:
1. Brainstorm a list of changes in your field of which you are already aware
2. Talk to others, including friends, family members, classmates, and professors
3. Do a quick Google search to create a list of changes in the field
4. Identify topic ideas by reading an article from this
list of articles
For a more detailed description of each option, consult
this document
.
As you identify a change to discuss, be careful with your choice of topic to ensure that you are actually writing about a specific change. Diabetes itself, for example, is not a change. The skyrocketing number of children with diabetes in the last decade is a change. Technology is too broad a topic that includes countless changes and would not work for this Assignment; however, limiting the issue of technology to a specific technological change, like the increased use of cloud computing, will work for this Assignment. Be sure also that the change has occurred and that it is not a change you would like to see happen.
To help you succeed on this Assignment, you will post your prewriting work about the topic that you choose for your essay to the Unit 5 Discussion Board.
You will then use feedback you received on your topic idea to make necessary revisions and then post a rough draft of your essay to the Unit 6 Discussion Board. The feedback you receive on your rough draft will then help you to revise your draft for submission as the Unit 6 Assignment.
You must also include an additional 1 paragraph research plan paragraph at the end of your paper as part of the Unit 6 Assignment. This plan identifies what you specifically think you need to do in Units 7–8 to research your topic, support your ideas, and strengthen your draft.
Be sure your Unit 6 Assignment meets the following requirements:
· Includes 4–5 fully developed paragraphs
· Focuses on one specific, relevant change that has already occurred
· Analyzes either cause or effect and does not take a position or make a recommendation
· Develops the main point through your own thoughts and observations, not through research
· Includes an additional research plan
· Applies APA 6th Edition format
· Avoids the use of outside sources at this point. However, if you use any source in any way in this draft, you must cite the source both in a references page and in text, whether you are quoting or paraphrasing

My field of study is Business and considering COVID-19 and the impact that it has had on Businesses small and large there have been many relevant changes over the past couple of years that have eased the bleeding. I choose to focus on remote work and the effects that it can have. Taking from my own experience, I am currently Active Duty Army and I work in a typical office setting. We have transitioned to remote work nearly completely for my section and I have found myself to be more productive, saving money by minimizing my commute, and overall saving taxpayer’s money on office energy costs. We have cut out in person office hours down to one day a week.
Knowing all those benefits, why would a for-profit business transition back into fully staffed office spaces when why the same job can be performed more effectively in the remote work environment?
Increase of Remote Work and its Positive effects
Thomas Doane
INTRODUCTION
I. Remote work is the future for business to maximize performance in the most effective way. The Business world has been leaning into this movement full boar over the last 5 to 10 years. Employers, Entrepreneurs, and Government officials have seen the massive uptick in this trend and are finally ready to accept that that remote work is here to stay. I have had the chance to experience remote work firsthand during the COVID-19 pandemic and the effect that is it is had on my life. Overall, it’s been very cost effective for my family and I, I have found myself to be more productive, and surprisingly have much more interest and enjoyment for work.
