Research Question 1:
Review scholarly literature on three theories within your specialization.

Evaluate the extent to which these theories conflict in ways that cannot be reconciled within this context.
ESSAY QUESTION MUST INCLUDE THE BELOW ELEMENTS:
Theory:
Discusses theory in a cohesive, logical, comprehensive, and clear way, addressing how theory informs research in the specialization and the field, and draws further conclusions related to the proposed or approved research topic.
Application:
Integrates the application of theory and how theory informs research in the specialization and field in a cohesive, logical, comprehensive, and clear discussion, and draws further conclusions related to the proposed or approved research topic.
Research:
Analyzes the theoretical implications of research literature in the specialization and field, and identifies assumptions on which the analysis is based.
Critical Thinking & Organization:
Organizes the elements of the paper to form a cohesive whole, requiring original, creative thinking that meets professional publication standards.

Review and analyze the scholarly research related to your proposed (or School-approved) dissertation topic to identify gaps in the literature. Evaluate how a study specifically on your proposed (or School-approved) dissertation topic would address these gaps and potential ethical research concerns. Synthesize your findings and determine the implications of such a study for scholar-practitioners who are conducting research in this arena.
ESSAY MUST INCLUDE THE BELOW ELEMENTS
Research:
Appraises previous research findings in the specialization and field to logically imply the scientific merit of the proposed or approved research topic, and impartially considers conflicting theory and other perspectives.
Ethics:
Appraises ethical issues in the literature related to the proposed or approved research topic, and impartially considers conflicting theory and other perspectives.
Application:
