4. Introduction Introductions are generally half a page in length, though they can run longer if the topic requires additional information. They usually begin with supporting statements, and end with a description of your hypothesis. In my report, I introduce Retirement Security among Minorities and include a clear statement of the main assertions of the paper.

5. Background Background information identifies and describes the history and nature of a well-defined research problem with reference to the existing literature. Background information in my Introduction indicates the root of the retirement (in)security problems and the extent to which previous studies have successfully investigated the problems.

6. Methodology The methods section of my research paper provides the information by which a study’s validity is judged. The method section answers two main questions: 1) How was the data collected? 2) How was it analyzed?
