I assigned a writer to do this assignment and he failed to do so and PLAGIARIZED 100% AND FAILED TO USE CORRECT APA FORMAT. If you are not up for this, and are not willing to give a hundred percent then please do not accept.
Below I will be listing instructions of the assignment.
As you have previously learned, a literature review is summary of the research that has previously been completed on a specific topic. A literature review provides a thematic summary of the research and your papers should be organized by subtopics and not by article please do not summarize each article in individual paragraphs. Since each article has a literature review (the introduction), youll have several examples by which to organize your paper.
The purpose of a literature review is to gather and summarize the important knowledge and ideas that have already been established in the scientific community about a topic. The literature review is the first place that researchers start to explore their research question and to learn what has previously been studied. By understanding what has already been researched, a researcher can also hone their own research question and topic as well as get ideas about how to conduct their own research study.
The main objectives for this paper are to:
1.) Identify and formulate an inquiry question
2.) Read, analyze & interpret journal articles
3.) Apply the summary skills and research skills that youve already learned in this course 4.) Synthesize the knowledge about the topic of your choice in a written literature review. 5.) Practice APA citation style format

Outline for writing the literature review:
1. Introduction
The introduction is used to establish the context of your review to the reader.
a. Define the topic of your study and provide any background information that helps
your reader to understand the topic. Do not use first-person narrative in your
introduction do not use I or refer to our class.
b. Explain your reason (perspective) for reviewing the literature on this topic.
c. State your inquiry question.
2. Body
This section of your paper begins with an explanation of how you have organized your literature review and describes findings from articles that provide answers to your inquiry question.
Before you begin this section, be sure that you have sorted your articles into different themes based on the articles’ findings (Note: you may have multiple articles for one theme). After reading and sorting the articles, it is important to think of a thematic name of your sorted articles. The themes will become your subtopics for each of the paragraphs that you write in the body of your review.
To write the body of the literature review, include the following:
a.
b. c. d.
3. Summary
Write an introduction paragraph for the body of your review. This
paragraph tells the reader specific information on how many articles you reviewed and how you sorted the articles into common themes based on the findings (results).
This will be a paragraph that describes the first theme that you identified and compare, contrast and/or connect the articles you’ve selected.
This will be a paragraph that describes the second theme that you identified and compare, contrast and/or connect the articles you’ve selected.
This will be a paragraph that describes the third theme that you identified and compare, contrast and/or connect the articles you’ve selected.
In this paragraph, it is important to summarize the main findings from the articles that you reviewed and to point out the information that you found particularly important to know that answered the inquiry question that you established in the first paragraph of your review. Try to conclude your paper by connecting your inquiry question back to the research youve conducted.
4. References
This is the last page of your review and should be titled References that is centered. It serves as a listing of all references that you mentioned in your paper. Please use APA format when compiling this list.
I already have the 4 topic choices, you just need to fix up the entire paper. For example I will be uploading a copy of the paper the other writer wrote and I need you to change it up COMPLETELY WITHOUT PLAGIARISM. You have to do the same 4 topics; Eating Disorder among Men, Eating disorders: portrayal, Age starts, Physical body dissatisfaction since those are what my professor accepted.
