Format of this essay will depend on the topic of story. Generally, in the introduction of the writing work it is desirable to do classification, than create a plan of the whole article. These methods make writing of the essay classifying lighter than other types of essays because a formal structure of statement is ready and we can write better according to it.
Firstly, it needs to have few minutes or even hours thinking about how to categorize your writing and what exactly you should make into ranks, what issues will be disclosed, what categories to suggest. As the contours of your essay, ill-thought-out introduction will lead to poor essay. Make sure you picked up points that can be easily maintained in the following paragraphs. Make a convincing argument, but you must be sure that you can prove it to the readers.
As a rule, you want to describe and show the different categories and how they are linked. You may compare them in your work with various examples, different arguments and facts, may be remembering some stories from your own experience. And, by the way, including the real-life examples and evidence to support your classification is very important. It will help to make your essay more interesting and memorable. You can use views and images in such works, but remember that general context is extremely important. For example, it would be advisable and smart to classify some kind of things based on who you believe will be the most beneficial and reliable. It will show your point of view. To make a classification essay successful and readable it is good to give evidences and demonstrations.
The quality of the essay depends on three relative components: the source material that you intend to use (read summaries of literature, lectures, and discussions, record the results, your own ideas and experiences on this issue); quality of treatment available source material (his organization, argumentation, and reasoning); argumentation (how well does it compare with the raised problems in your essay).
Classification essays are very useful for determining the analytical abilities, and the purpose of the essay is to improve and develop skills of creative intellection and written your own statements. To impress the reader, the author should focus on the development of quite clear and understandable classifications, which are well thought out and presented.

Argumentative Essay

Teacher, before offering the students to write a persuasive essay, should familiarize them with the basic provisions of its four main parts: introduction, presentation of the thesis, the expectations and the withdrawal of objections.

In the preparation of the necessary preliminary to determine: what information to include on whom to refer, how to interpret the facts, and what kind of methodology to choose.

In the introduction we may use two things:

1. Introductory statement (introduction to the topic, its basis, the purpose of research) using wide known methods (an interesting statement, an unusual quote, surprising statistics, etc.)

2. Thesis assertion, which, in essence, the position which will substantiate. (In this case to indicate which side and to what extent the arguments required).

Thesis’s presentation is the main section of the argumentative essay. It sets out the facts in favor of the elected position. One of the most common approaches is a statement and further testimony as acquittal. You can first give a list of facts and then conclude a consequence of application.

Let us talk about waiting for an objection. I think thesis statement will be convincing if the arguments to consider the opposite statement, giving it a critical analysis. Next, offer a compromise in some way losing the opposite opinion.

A little about conclusion: this part of the essay needs to show the reasonableness and validity of the chosen position. To achieve this goal in the final part of the essay should be such a part of writing work, which:

1. Summarizes the main points of the statement of evidence and examples;

2. Restates the thesis in order to its value (you can repeat verbatim the wording either rephrased);

3. Discusses the prospect of the main thesis;

4. Shows the practical significance;

5. Raises questions that will help us look at the topic from a new point of view.

The art of good argumentation is not only in showing of powerful writing skills. Many people think that if someone has an opinion and can successfully prove it using value facts, than it is all, nothing more needs for essay of such type. But writing arguments is the act of forming reasons, act of making inductions and drawing conclusions. It is a very hard and careful work.

First of all, it should be said a few words about similarities between the civilizations of Mayas, Aztecs and Incas. All these civilizations were geographically distant from each other though Aztecs and Maya could be named neighbors in a way. As for the Incas civilization it was situated quite faraway from both Mayas and Aztecs. However, despite such a geographical distance that separated these civilizations they had some similarities in their cultural, socio-economic and political life.

Furthermore, the civilizations of Mayas, Aztecs and Incas were distant in timeline. If Aztecs and Incas basically reached the highest point of their development or at least were about to reach it than the civilization of Mayas was in decline when Aztecs and Incas achieved the greatest results in their development.

Nonetheless, all these civilizations had one and the same tragic fate all of the were destroyed and conquered by newcomers from Europe and heir historical heritage as well as civilizations themselves practically vanished.

Speaking about the civilizations in details, it should be said that they have similar social structure though each civilization had its own peculiarities. However, basically it is possible to distinguish a powerful ruling class, which was traditionally presented by soldiers, priests and sages or in general they may be called nobility, and subjects or a ruled class that comprised the rest of the population of these civilizations. But in Incas empire the difference between these two classes was so exaggerated that the empire got its name after Incas, which was actually the name of ruling class consisting of soldiers, priests and sages that were called ‘amautas’. The rest of the population was insignificant and their only duty was to serve to their masters, i.e. Incas.

Furthermore, the civilizations had similar religious beliefs and human sacrifices were quite natural things for them. By the way, it was one of the reasons why they led such an active expansion policy and naturally they were very aggressive in relation to their neighbors. At the same time, they had one practically similar belief or more precisely a legend about a white deity that once came to their land and promised to return and the legend play a really tragic trick on the fate of the nations. So, Aztecs believed in Quetzalkoatl while Incas believed in Viracocha who were supposed to come and help local people to overcome their problems and to bring happiness. Using such legends Spaniards pretended to be sent by Gods and as the result the civilizations were conquered and finally destroyed.

A few more words should be said about the religions of the civilizations. All of them were polytheistic and there existed a pantheon of gods though as a rule they had at least one main God. It means that as many other civilizations they tended to extrapolate human relations in the divine domain. However, it seems to be quite natural taking into consideration the level of their development though Incas cult was strikingly similar to Christian tradition and was perceived by Spaniards as a devil’s joke.

Despite the similarities that existed between the civilizations of Mayas, Aztecs and Incas they naturally had differences and quite significant by the way. The administrative systems of the civilizations may be taking into considerations in terms of example. So, Mayas, for instance, had not a common center that could be perceived as the main city, the capital. Actually it was a number of city-states united by common interests, culture and traditions. Aztecs were in a way similar to Maya since they gave a certain degree of liberty to invaded nations. By the way, Aztecs as well as Mayas often used representatives of invaded nations as human sacrifices in their religious rituals. Returning to administrative system of the civilization, it should be said that Incas created the most capital centered empire that was governed from one center Cuzco, or Cusco. So, if to range the civilizations from the most centralized to the least centralized the list would be headed by Incas, followed by Aztecs and ended by Mayas.

Naturally, such administrative systems were the result of political structure of Aztecs, Mayas and Incas. Actually only Aztecs and Incas are considered to be empires while Mayas, as it has been already mentioned, had their own city-states, which were relatively independent from each other and were governed separately.

As for inner policy of Mayas, Incas and Aztecs, it should be said that Incas was probably the most authoritarian civilization because the administrative methods used in the empire in order to achieve obedience from subjects (ruled) were extremely strict and severe.

A very interesting point for the discussion is writing systems that existed in the civilizations discussed. If Aztecs and Mayas had a relatively well developed system of writing then Incas did not have any system of writing at all. Instead they used a so-called khipu system, i.e. a system of knots on a string, so it could be hardly called the system of writing but rather a system of non-oral communication.

Furthermore, speaking about the differences between the countries, it should be pointed out that despite the fact that all of them were conquered by Spaniards at the moment of their fall they had different level of development. The Mayas civilization was already in decline under the influence of different natural factors that reduced the crops and consequently, productivity of Mayas economy, the attacks of other Indian tribes, etc. Aztecs and Incas, as it has already been mentioned was practically at the top of their development.

Finally, it also is quite noteworthy that both Aztecs and Mayas had well developed trade and commerce, they had a class of merchants where as Incas completely lacked such a class and they were quite far from trade and commerce affairs.

Thus, taking into consideration all above mentioned, it is possible to say that the civilizations of Aztecs, Mayas and Incas had both similarities and differences. Probably, Aztecs and Mayas were more alike that could be explained by geographical positions of the states, which were in fact quite close to one another and consequently could be mutually influenced despite the fact that Aztecs were a younger civilization compared to Mayas, in a way they could be perceived as descendants of the Mayas civilization in Central America. At the same time, Incas, being quite distant from the civilizations of Aztecs and Incas also had common features. Probably it was the result of a natural process of development of all civilizations as well as there is a possibility of some links between the civilizations that could influence them. At the same time, each civilization had its own particular features. It is also quite natural because each community develop its own traditions, beliefs and lifestyle at large. The civilizations of Incas, Aztecs and Mayas, were not an exception. Unfortunately, all of them had one and the same end the conquest by Spaniards and a complete decay of local culture and traditions.

First of all, video games should not promote extensive amount of violence, sex and absolute impunity for criminal activities of the game heroes because children can take this seriously and try to make the same in reality. Of course people like GTA series and that is the main reason why developers continue these series adding more violence, sex and illegality but game publishers should not promote this. “The player is rewarded with cash for various illegal and immoral actions”[1] – this is a direct violence promotion and thus company shows social irresponsibility like cigarette producers do denying harmful affects of their products.

Second is that game producers should include happy end in their products but this happy end should be a fair one – I mean that all criminals should be punished and imprisoned finally in order to emphasize that criminal activities are prohibited by the law and all criminals are subjects to punishment. Such step will make people think about this issue and in some way such a happy end can prevent people from making criminal activities, because children still have access to such game via internet or their elder friends. Such a decision will decrease negative social effect for sure. “Like rock music in the 60s & 70s, the game industry is driving culture at the moment”[2] – claims professor from Indiana University teaching computer game design – so video game producers have to be responsible before the society and contribute to morals and ethics.

Third – computer ethics implies appropriate targeted promotion programs which should target only certain categories of people. May be diversification of video games, films and TV programs should include not only age restrictions but it is possible to introduce other restrictions like: ‘not for people with unsound mind, heart sufferers, mental diseases’ etc. These categories are generalized a lot and do not imply that children will think about such notes and restrictions but their parents will do. Thus game producers should make some effort to prevent children from playing games that cause social indignation.

Fourth – game producers and distributors should guarantee that abusive games can not fall into the hands of untargeted people categories via internet (children mainly). In order to make this, companies should refuse from online sales of such games and prevent the possibility of unauthorized access to such games from the Internet because children can easily buy abusive games online using their parents’ credit cards. If game producers would not make so then the government should take serious actions and restrict online sales of video games that promote violence.

Fifth – all kind of promotion available to children should not emphasize or demonstrate violence scenes. Such measures can be useful also and will demonstrate social responsibility of game producers and their will to contribute to ethical programming and promotion because the future of the world community depends a lot on such companies.

The first at-risk behavior concerns boy’s  inability of studying. This inability includes two important problems. Firstly, the problem is in difficulties in boy’s studying to read. And secondly, this boy is characterized by attention-deficit disorder. He is just unable to concentrate on what he is studying. Moreover, boy’s behavior has some features of hyperactivity. The matter is that he cannot be still for a long time. He always gets into difficulties with something.  This combination is called attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

For this at-risk behavior we should work out the intensive correctional program directed at improving boy’s ability of reading. Firstly, we must attract his attention to studying. In this case  we should implement reading of entertaining material. It is very important that this material includes all necessary information about the meaning of words. It can make boy’s reading more understandable and develop his desire for studying.

There can be used two effective methods: some interesting experience. Here we can organize some country excursions, visits to interesting places, exploration of the nature. Boy can be asked to write about this experience.  Afterwards he should read what he has wrote down.

Another approach implies the experience of symbolical representation: theatrical performances, music, and dances. These approaches can be really effective. First of all, because they give students the possibility of discussing some events, problems with teachers as well as with their classmates. There is the possibility of expressing their thoughts and feelings in free and easy way.  This kind of activities helps students to study, to read well. Such intensive speech activity helps a child to establish connections between what he already knows and what he is reading at the moment. This   makes reading more accessible and interesting.

From the first at-risk behavior the second one comes. It concerns boy’s frustration and lack of persistence in studying. The  problem is that boy’s inability to study makes  him disbelieve  in his capacity of studying. As a result he feels frustrated, unconfident, hopeless and helpless. The boy lacks self-control, he is not interested, he is always daydreaming. He does not believe in his abilities. He  becomes incapable  of carrying his studies through. In this case our intervention is directed at development of boy’s self-confidence and belief in his own capacities. We will pay much attention to his motivation and his desire to be successful. We can conduct some competitions, for instance, contests in reading speed or expressiveness of reading. But these contests will be sure ones, in which no competitor loses. These contests will help in development of children’s desire to be more successful, better than others. These activities can develop boy’s persistence, striving for studying, willingness to study well.

The third at-risk behavior is connected with boy’s family situation. The family factor is still very important for children of boy’s age. Boy’s father was divorced.  This fact is really a stressful event for the boy. Boy’s poor studying is the result of his parents’ divorce. The intervention in this situation will consist in psychological help to boy and his father. We will invite a psychologist who will work at creation of spiritual warmth in relations between the boy and his father. Some role-playings, interviews will be conducted. The greater part of psychological help will be conducted with boy’s father in order to make him more attentive to the boy, to his problems in school. We will help father in realization the necessary control of the boy, in their communication and understanding. We will try to create all necessary conditions for boy’s successful studying at home. We are going to point out father’s role in boy’s progress in school, in his good results and proper development.

There can be identified one more boy’s at-risk behavior. It concerns his relations with classmates. They seem to be superficial and inconstant. Our intervention here will consist in the following. We will try to create friendly and benevolent boy’s relations with others. In this case we will implement some tasks presupposing working in groups and collaboration. It is expected to help the boy to make more friends and be closer to the group, to be more self-confident. And at the same time working in groups can make the process of education more easy and interesting for him. These tasks can include some team-work in creating research projects, some theatrical performances, inventing different stories and so on.

My desire to pursue graduate or post baccalaureate study evolved from my educational and working experience. Since I have B.A in Economics and a great experience of attending seminars. My practical experience is also to be mentioned. I worked as an environment, safety and security coordinator, as a client satisfaction officer, sales coordinator, marketing officer, administrator of Internet Café. My main responsibilities were managing showrooms, planning and launching marketing campaigns, solving clients’ problems, preparing evaluation reports, and many other interesting responsibilities.

As a result, I gained a good experience of communicating with people and accomplishing responsible tasks; I acquired good communication skills, ability to work under pressure, powers of endurance. I developed my skills of organizing, planning and launching different projects.

You know, I feel I have a potential – intellectual, leadership, I’m full of ideas that I’d like to realize in future. I have quite a good level of erudition, critical thinking; besides I’m in a constant process of developing, learning, improving my capacities and mastering my knowledge. I’m open for new knowledge that I hope to gain in Cal State University Fullerton. I believe that I will be able to find my place in the business world.

My career goals are to be an effective, successful member of a marketing team, to work out interesting, creative projects, to understand and orientate well in the business environment, to deal with different kinds of people. Being a student of your University, I will be able to master modern business processes, tendencies, laws, to learn norms of business communication and problem-solving processes.

I strongly believe that I will be able to realize all my ideas and plans studying at Cal State University Fullerton, and that I will be able to exchange knowledge and experience with other people. I suppose that studying at your University will be a great incitement to my future career.

High quality, moral and ethical standards are of great value for me while accomplishing my projects and interacting with peoples.

I will be able to send a resume and/or letters of reference if it is requested.

“School is just a waste of time” – that was the answer of my five year old cousin enjoying his blue cotton candy when I asked him the date his classes would resume. His response totally shocked me given his little experience in life and sincerity. This was really a surprise to someone like me because since the first day I ever went to school I have always loved and enjoyed learning and studying, and as I grew older I came to believe and understand that education plays a major role in our lives. However, I recently noticed a troubling trend with teenagers and younger kids nowadays: they tend to easily dismiss the importance of school and education itself. Initially I thought that this was not a serious feeling and was probably caused by the pleasures of summer vacation, until I had some discussions with the concerned parties. I had the opportunity to travel to Europe and Africa this summer and had the chance to talk with many cousins, nephews, nieces, and some of their friends just to make sure that it was not a case of my family becoming too lazy. The conclusions of my talks with all these kids were very similar: they had the same concepts to become successful in life and education was not considered in these notions.

I understand why children do not want to study, because I remember my childhood, when there were so many entertainments and temptations around. It gave me much more pleasure to play with my friends than doing my homework. But I quickly have learned how to manage my life rationally and effectively: school was in the foreground and entertainments in the background. I think that children evolve in the same way – they understand the importance of education in the course of time, but sometimes too late. The earlier they will understand it, the more effective their education will be. There appears the role of our society – to help children understand their mission in life and the ways to attain it as quick as it possible. Parents should motivate their children both materially (I mean the trivial situation when children get high grades parents buy them something expensive or send them on vacations) and morally (e.g. explain the importance of education, give examples of its utility from their own experience and experience of famous people). Older brothers and sisters should show a good example of themselves because children often imitate the behavior of elder people. Teachers with the help of psychologists have to find out which sciences are more relative to a child and then interest and direct the child towards a proper direction.

Finally, I want to figure out a conclusion: as time goes by most children understand the importance of education, but sometimes it’s too late and this is important problem of the world community. Because in order to develop and evolve the world needs good specialists, which are the result of good social efforts and proper education. So we should help younger generations to understand the significance of  education in their future life before it’s not too late.
