Purpose

A concept analysis is designed to make the student as familiar with a concept as possible.  A concept is usually one or two words that convey meaning, understanding or feelings between or among individuals within a same discipline. Some concepts relevant to mental health are stigma, recidivism, and deinstitutionalization. 

Activities and Directions

To begin the process, choose a concept you are interested in, a term you encounter with your work or one with which you would like to research. Look for the measurable quality in your topic of interest, problem or question.

- Write down all of the words you can think of which relate to or express your concept. 

- Search the literature for journal articles and books related to the concept to get a sense of the beliefs and thoughts of others in the discipline regarding the concept. 

- Begin the analysis paper with a introductory paragraph expressing what the concept is and why it is significant to you and mental health. 

- Develop the Model Case. The model case is a brief situational description validating the concept including all of the characteristics you have listed which describe or make up the concept. The model case should be able to reflect that If this is not an example of (concept), then nothing is. 

- Close with a summary.

A basic essay consists of three main parts: introduction, body, and conclusion. Following this format will help you write and organize an essay. However, flexibility is important. While keeping this basic essay format in mind, let the topic and specific assignment guide the writing and organization.

Parts of an Essay

Introduction

The introduction guides your reader into the paper by introducing the topic. It should begin with a hook that catches the reader’s interest. This hook could be a quote, an analogy, a question, etc. After getting the reader’s attention, the introduction should give some background information on the topic. The ideas within the introduction should be general enough for the reader to understand the main claim and gradually become more specific to lead into the thesis statement. (See the Introductions handout for further information.)

Thesis Statement

The thesis statement concisely states the main idea or argument of the essay, sets limits on the topic, and can indicate the organization of the essay. The thesis works as a road map for the entire essay, showing the readers what you have to say and which main points you will use to support your ideas.

Introduction

Thesis Statement

Main Idea

Main Idea

Main Idea

Body

The body of the essay supports the main points presented in the thesis. Each point is                                                                                                                     Conclusion

developed by one or more paragraphs and supported with specific details. These details can include support from research and experiences, depending on the

assignment. In addition to this support, the author’s own analysis and discussion of the topic ties ideas together and draws conclusions that support the thesis. Refer to “Parts of a Paragraph” below for further information on writing effective body paragraphs.

Transitions

Transitions connect paragraphs to each other and to the thesis. They are used within and between paragraphs to help the paper flow from one topic to the next. These transitions can be one or two words (“first,” “next,” “in addition,” etc.) or one or two sentences that bring the reader to the next main point. The topic sentence of a paragraph often serves as a transition. (See the Transitions handout for further information.)

Conclusion

The conclusion brings together all the main points of the essay. It refers back to the thesis statement and leaves readers with a final thought and sense of closure by resolving any ideas brought up in the essay. It may also address the implications of the argument. In the conclusion, new topics or ideas that were not developed in the paper should not be introduced. (See the Conclusions handout for further information.)

Citations

If your paper incorporates research, be sure to give credit to each source using in-text citations and a Works Cited/References/Bibliography page. Refer to the MLA Format, APA Format, or Turabian Format handout for help with this.

Basic Essay Format

Note: This document should only be used as a reference and should not replace assignment guidelines.

Parts of a Paragraph

In an essay, a paragraph discusses one idea in detail that supports the thesis of the essay. Each paragraph in the body of the paper should include a topic sentence, supporting details to support the topic sentence, and a concluding sentence. The paragraph’s purpose and scope will determine its length, but most paragraphs contain at least two complete sentences. For more information on this topic, see the Basic Paragraph Format handout.

Topic Sentence

The main idea of each paragraph is stated in a topic sentence that shows how the idea relates to the thesis. Generally, the topic sentence is placed at the beginning of a paragraph, but the location and placement may vary according to individual organization and audience expectation. Topic sentences often serve as transitions between paragraphs.

Supporting Details

Supporting details elaborate upon the topic sentences and thesis. Supporting details should be drawn from a variety of sources determined by the assignment guidelines and genre, and should include the writer’s own analysis.

Concluding Sentence

Each paragraph should end with a final statement that brings together the ideas brought up in the paragraph. Sometimes, it can serve as a transition to the next paragraph.

Topic Sentence

Supporting Detail #1

Supporting Detail #2

Concluding Sentence

The root cause of childhood Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is difficult to determine, since many biological, genetic, and environmental factors may contribute. While genetics can help explain the prevalence of ADD in children and families, they do not necessarily explain its cause (Winger 2012). Environmental factors such as social interaction, attachment, and other factors can also play a huge role in the development of ADD but are not necessarily its root, according to Graymond (2011, p. 33). Research suggests that genetic and environmental interactions may both be important in conditioning the risk of ADD as well as its severity and progression. In the classic question of “nature v. nurture,” in this case, the answer appears to be both.

Unity and Coherence

Proper essay and paragraph format not only helps to achieve unity and coherence but also enhances the reader’s understanding. Well-worded topic sentences and concluding sentences will also help maintain unity throughout the essay.

- Unity is the continuity of a single idea (the thesis) throughout the essay. Each detail and example should develop logically and refer back to the original focus.

- Coherence means that each point should be linked to the previous and following points to help the essay flow and progress logically and clearly. An easy way to link paragraphs together is through transitions in each paragraph’s topic sentence.

Please read the instructions carefully. I have attached documents, please read them carefully. The following article has to be read for the essay.Read the following article:Beethoven Was an Above Average Composer - Let's Leave It at That - Philip EwellIn the attached article, Philip Ewell writes:"…the race of music theory’s white racial frame, which works in concert with patriarchal structures to advantage whiteness and maleness while disadvantaging POC and non-males.""To state that Beethoven was any more than, say, above average as a composer is to state that you know all music written on planet earth 200 years ago when Beethoven was active as a composer, which no one does."These passages raise some interesting questions, and possibly emotional responses. Many will reply to the first sentence with something like, "music or music theory has nothing to do with race or gender." Do you agree? Do you think Beethoven was thinking about race and gender when he was composing or performing? If he wasn't, is that because he found himself in a position of privilege being a white man that was commissioned by many aristocratic, wealthy patrons?The second statement really raises some emotions for some! Why do you think we still know the music of Beethoven or Mozart? Is it solely based on their whiteness and maleness? How can we say Mozart or Beethoven were unique geniuses of their time if we have only studied a mere fraction of the music of their generation? Furthermore, we have only studied music of their eras from Europe. What about composers of the 1700 and 1800s living in Africa or Asia? For instance, one may say such-and-such band or artist is the best Chicago artist of 2021. However, wouldn't that statement need to be supported by being immersed or familiar with all or at least most other artists in the Chicago music scene? Is it the responsibility of music critics and historians to provide us with all of the information of a historical period, or just what they deem as being "genius"?In your essay, respond to these statements and questions, as well as drawing your own arguments on the subject. Be sure to provide historical references, dates, names that support your arguments - the information could be pulled from our textbook. Should be double spaced using Arial or Times New Roman Font. Format your eassay based on the attached "Basic Essay Format" pdf:Introduction - with thesis statementParagraph1: Main Idea (topic senetence, supoporting ideas, concluding sentence)Paragraph2: Main Idea (topic senetence, supoporting ideas, concluding sentence)Paragraph3: Main Idea (topic senetence, supoporting ideas, concluding sentence)Conclusion
