Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know the causes of acne. Learn how acne medication works. Understand why ice works.

Answer: Acne affects between 70 and 87 percent of teenagers, and many adults. There are four main causes of acne:  excessive oil production in the skin  dead skin cell accumulation  clogged skin pores  dirt and bacteria entering enlarged pores Because most cases of acne involve the pores in your skin, acne medications typically work in one of three ways:  exfoliating your skin (removing dead skin cells)  killing bacteria  unclogging pores Ice is helpful with managing current acne outbreaks and with preventing future outbreaks from occurring.  Ice helps relieve swelling in the skin where acne persists. It can also reduce the redness associated with active pimples and old acne scars.  Ice shrinks the size of your skin pores, which can help prevent future acne outbreaks by reducing the chances of your pores getting clogged or infected.  Ice can be used for both short-term acne remedies and longer-term acne treatments.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine your idea or problem. Do your research. Write a problem description. Explain your solution. Outline a plan. State possible objections. Mention needed materials and/or personnel. Conclude with the primary benefits.

Answer: Whether you want to write about streamlining operations or reducing costs, figure out what the key issue is. Often, the idea might be clear to you. If, however, you are trying to make a mark or troubleshoot, be observant. Before writing a proposal, be sure to check all the facts. Talk to relevant people whether co-workers, managers, or customers. Read about similar companies and see what they do differently. For example, if you think the management should change its caterer, talk first to the kitchen staff. What do they think? Have they worked in other places with different caterers? What do your co-workers think? Maybe your disgruntlement is a matter of personal taste rather than quality. To start your proposal, describe what is happening at present. Include all relevant facts (who is involved, dates, locations). In this part, do not issue judgement; rather, just explain things as they are. For example, you might write “Company X has been using Caterer Y for the past seven years. During this time, the number of available entrees has decreased from five to two. The amount of vegetarian-friendly items also has decreased with some days there being none.” After identifying the problem, write specifically what you propose to do. Lead with your key point. Show what your findings are based on your research. For example, you might write, “I recommend that Company X switch to another caterer. Company X has several other caterer options. Caterer W and Caterer Z both offer larger menus and have comparable costs to our existing provider. Furthermore, because Caterer Z offers daily vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free entrees, they could better meet the needs of our workforce. Caterer W offers fewer vegan-specific items but also could be a good choice. A survey completed in 2011 showed that 40% of our employees are vegetarian, 10% are vegan, and 2% are gluten-free.” Describe each step and its related implementation times or costs. Be clear with what you know and what remains to be seen. Consider writing numbered steps. Then offer more details. Do not overestimate the value of your change but do suggest what you think the results could be. To switch caterers, we will need: 1. To end our contract with Caterer Y 2. Ask Caterers W and Z for trial tastings 3. Choose one of the firms 4. Sign a contract with the chosen firm. The costs should be comparable to our current costs with Caterer Y. As long as we finish our contract term with Caterer Y, there should be no financial penalties. Furthermore, if our employees like the new food more, their workplace satisfaction is likely to improve. Show your awareness of any possible hitches to your plan. Will there be resistance among employees? For instance, some people might love your current caterer. Could you have to convince a government agency that your new product idea is safe? Talk about steps you would take to convince others of your project. If your change requires the purchase of materials or the hiring of new employees, include this after the steps. Also, mention needed time, as that too is a resource. Create a checklist of sorts. For example you might write: Needed: sub-committee for caterer evaluation (4 people from different parts of the company), 2 hours for tasting, 3 hours to write the report. Whatever change you plan to implement, repeat it once at the end. Rehash your three main points and then offer a concluding sentence. Think of this as your executive summary. For example:  ”As this proposal demonstrates, Caterer Y has decreased its entree offerings over the past seven years. Caterers W and Z offer comparatively priced, more diverse options. I recommend that we do trial tastings with these caterers in order to choose a new food supplier for this office. This in turn likely will boost employee satisfaction and retention” Mention specific monetary or quantitative benefits. For example, will your innovation cut costs? Say so.  Outline qualitative benefits. Sometimes a company benefits in ways we cannot quantify with hard facts or numbers. If you will increase employee happiness, mention this. These improvements can be just as valuable as quantitative ones.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify types of negative behavior. Determine what kinds of negative behavior is bothering you. Determine if your parents have good intentions. Get help if you are being abused by your parents.

Answer:
There are many different types of negative behavior. Your parents probably don’t do all of these things, but it’s important to pinpoint exactly what kind of behavior they are exhibiting that is bothering you. Common behaviors include:  Undermining. For example: "I thought you might mess up the order, so I bought it for you." Insulting. Example: "You look fat in that dress" Underestimating or writing off. Example: "You're probably not going to be a good sprinter." Reinforcing a stereotype. Example: "You're a woman, so you should do teaching, not scientific research." Blaming. Example: "It's your fault your coworker was harassing you – you always wear sexy shoes." Making excuses for someone. Example: "It's alright to eat junk food. You had a bad day." Limiting someone. Example: "You're a good painter, but you'll never become a really great artist." Making unfavorable comparisons. Example: "Your cousin Jimmy is always on the honor roll. Why aren't you?" Hostility, threats, or verbal abuse. Ignoring someone. Think about your parents’ behavior in the past and try to figure out what kind of negative treatment it is. It might be helpful to make a list of specific incidents where your parents behave in a negative way. This will help you pinpoint the negative behavior so that you can talk about it more clearly. If your parents’ negative behavior is fueled by their love for you and their desire to see you succeed, then you are in a better position to have a conversation with them about how their negativity makes you feel. If your parents don’t have good intentions, this conversation might be more difficult. Negative behaviors driven by good intentions can include things like trust issues, being overprotective, or coddling. Sometimes negative behavior is because of a misunderstanding or due to a personality conflict. These types of negative behavior are usually resolvable with a little communication and effort. But if your parents are abusing you, you might need to take more drastic action.  Abuse includes physical abuse (hitting, kicking, using physical force to restrain, etc.), verbal abuse (insults or cursing that make you feel bad), and emotional abuse (anything that doesn’t make you feel safe and loved – this can be from abandonment, threats, etc.).  If you think you are being abused, you should tell an adult you trust. Another family member, a teacher, a school counselor, your pastor – these are all good options. You can also call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline for help (1-800-422-4453).   But make sure you don’t falsely accuse your parents of abuse. There is a big difference between parenting/punishing and actual abuse. And an accusation like that could get your parents in serious trouble.
