  Assume the reader (such as an undergraduate who has never taken a human resources course) knows nothing about this topic and share your research on it. Depending on the topic, here are examples of what you might specifically address:

   Why is it important?
   What have you learned?
   What are the critical issues?
   What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?
   What is the impact on the Human Resources’ function?
   What has been the shifting opinions surrounding this topic?

  You have flexibility in the type of research paper you write. For example: your paper can be informative (e.g. demonstrate your understanding of a topic, purely reflecting what information is available), opinion related (e.g. taking a stance), problem solving (e.g. offering a solution), or any combination.

  The more specific you are, the better. Feel free to include examples that will strengthen or illustrate your point.
