You need to read the document I gave you（Especially red) and send me a draft of your writing
You are to write a 1050 to 1750 word literature review (in addition to the title page and references page) on the articles you selected for Week 2, synthesizing the findings in the articles that you found on your topic. You may incorporate other articles or references to support your discussion, as needed. Use APA citation and reference guidelines.
What is a literature review?
A literature review is a synthesis and critique of the published research in a given area of research. Your focus is on the findings of the studies you are exploring – their methods, approach, results, and implications – rather than the broad topic overall. It should synthesize findings in specific areas. Thus, you should look for themes in the range of articles and write about them as you group common themes.
Synthesize the material you found. In other words, find connected themes in the different areas you cover. Occasionally you might discuss individual articles, but only if the article is very unique and no other article has similar findings. The synthesis should focus strictly on existing, published research.
What else should you include besides a synthesis of research?
Be sure to include in your review other potential areas that still need to be explored. What unanswered questions are there? What holes are in the research that you have not yet found answers to? What contradictions are in the research will you seek to explore?
Examples of Synthesized Findings for Literature Review:
College students were found to have a large number of conflicts with roommates (Darsey, 2003; Smith, 2001; Yarmouth, 2005). Researchers also found that roommate conflicts were most frequent during the first semester of college (Lotspiech, 2004; Nominskee, 2001; Zackarov, 2000). Morissey (2004) found a reduction of roommate conflicts continued as students progressed from freshman to seniors, with seniors having the fewest roommate conflicts. However, Ellensworth (2001) found no correlation with year in school and frequency of roommate conflict. The contradiction between Ellensworth’s and Morissey’s findings suggest that additional research is needed in this area.
Ellensworth’s (2001) research was strictly quantitative, lacking a full picture of the contexts or reasons for the specific conflicts. It asked people to mark the frequency of their conflicts and types of people with whom they typically disputed. Morissey (2004) conducted interviews that allowed participants to provide an explanation for the reasons for the conflicts, and the contexts (dorm roommates, apartment roommates, house roommates, etc.). However, she interviewed far fewer people than Ellensworth surveyed.
Combining Ellensworth’s surveys with Morissey’s interview questions and utilizing a research team to increase the number of interviews could provide more details about the conflicts and contexts, and allow us to further look into the question of year in school and conflict behavior.
DeSoto (2005) and Craig (2004) found that most students lack an understanding of the term “binge drinking.” This research finding suggests that earlier investigations that utilized the words “binge drinking,” as an identifier for students have limited use. It also suggests that researchers should be very careful when using terms to make sure that research participants fully understand the terms being used.
Review the literature and current laws on euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide.
In 1,000-1,250 words, discuss your position regarding euthanasia by addressing the following: ( I am in favor)

Please have back to me by sunday
Select a communication problem area of concern in your organization; then complete a literature review to uncover how that problem manifests itself, and how it has been handled in the available academic literature from the last five years. Research your topic using the Academic Search Premier database and refer to scholarly journals and books as your primary sources. Ensure that your sources are from the last five years unless they are seminal articles that provide a foundational perspective to your problem. Once you have gathered sufficient literature to provide a thorough understanding of the problem you intend to study, thematically group related articles for your review. (No less than 25 articles and books) Recognize that the scholarly articles that you read will all have literature reviews that you can reference for guidance.
Your paper should be 8-10 pages in length, APA style, double-spaced, 12 font, Times New Roman. Be sure to use headings in the literature review. Regardless of your study, a summary of the literature, and limitations of the literature must be among your headings.For example,
The headings indicate the different aspects of the communication problem that you are studying. Your final heading must be the Limitations of the literature. After thematically grouping the literature, and writing your review, state the gaps that exist in the literature, and decide how your study will explicitly address a gap in the literature covered.The researcher’s research questions or hypotheses will be directly formulated to address the gap in the literature that has been selected for study.Hence, findings from the study will help advance the literature in the researcher’s chosen area. Please refer to the APA manual for instructions regarding how to complete a literature review. Please note that your research questions or hypotheses will appear in the Introduction section of your proposal.You are merely formatting them at this stage. Include a reference page. This assignment is worth 100 points.
