This:or this:Robert Conquest was an on the payroll British intelligence services propagandist who created anti-communist work made to look scholarly and distributed it to journalists, academics, and other information providers. He is the one that gave us the supposed “20+ million killed by Stalin.” He was so effective that later work by academics looking at actual sources have been labeled “Stalin apologists” for even questioning it. Now that is effective propaganda. And J. Arch Getty, the historian is a mainline academic, not some fringe nut job.Alexander Finnegan's answer to Robert Conquest vs. Arch Getty, totalitarian vs. revisionist theories in Sovietology, which do you consider the most reliable source of knowledge? Inspired by the many answers marked with ignorance and bias in the light of Russian disclosed archives.The best kind of propaganda connects with you emotionally. It also relies on cementing groupthink so challenging it exposes you to shame. Most people don’t want to bother. Plus they don’t like cognitive dissonance and challenging what they learned when they were younger.Soviet propaganda on TV sort of worked. But as the Soviet Union started to fall apart people knew that the news reports were full of it. What was really effective was the anti-Soviet propaganda that Gorbachev permitted. This really helped bring down the entire system.In the U.S. most journalists believe in capitalism or they wouldn’t be hired. The corporations that own the media channels aren’t going to put a dedicated Stalinist on TV. If you believe something it comes across as much more authentic. And people can tell.Contrast this with Soviet propaganda, where many people didn’t even believe their own message.Chomsky and Herman analyzed the modern media and found that there are unofficial “filters” that help direct the modern Free Press into a form of propaganda. This was discussed in Manufacturing Consent.Glasnost proved to be an equal disaster.“What happened in our country is primarily the result of the debilitation and eventual elimination of the Communist Party’s leading role in society, the ejection of the party from major policymaking, its ideological and organisational unravellling, the formation in it of factions, careerists’ and national separatists’ penetration of the leadership of the party and state as well as the party and power structures of the republics, and the political conversion of the group headed by Gorbachev and their shift to the position of elimination of the Communist Party and the Soviet state.” Id.“It’s worth pointing out that Gorbachev never put much meat on the bones of ‘democratisation’. With hindsight, it’s obvious that his use of the term reflected an ideological concession to western capitalism; that he had come to believe that the Soviet Union should aspire to the political norms defined in Western Europe and the US. Such thinking neglects a number of factors that should be well understood by any Marxist:‘Free speech’ in the advanced capitalist countries is essentially a piece of attractive icing beneath which lies a bitter cake of plutocratic repression. Via its monopolisation of the mass media, the ruling class dominates the field of ideas almost comprehensively. There is a level of debate and criticism, but only of a few individual policies and not of systemic features of capitalism. As Chomsky famously put it: “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum”.27The political freedoms available in the west are much constrained owing to the correlation between wealth and power. Ordinary citizens have the right to vote, but their choice is nearly always restricted to two or three pro-capitalist, pro-imperialist parties, between which there is little substantive difference (so rare is the appearance of a meaningfully different option within mainstream politics, that when it happens it sends the ruling class into a frenzy of confusion, as is being witnessed at the moment with the rise of the Labour left under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn). Actual power is monopolised by the wealthy, and challenging it can be extremely dangerous, as is evidenced by the treatment of Irish Republicans that have served time in Britain’s colony in the north of Ireland, or the many longstanding black, Puerto Rican and indigenous political prisoners in the US who have spent decades behind bars on account of their struggle for equality and human rights.In a context of ongoing class struggle waged by the working class of a socialist country against its internal enemies (those that want to restore feudalism or capitalism) and its external enemies (the leading capitalist countries that will inevitably work to destabilise a socialist country), a level of political repression is an unhappy necessity; this is elaborated in the article on ideological deterioration28 in relation to Khrushchev’s denunciation of Stalin. The needs of the few – to get fantastically rich – can’t be allowed to compromise the needs of the many to enjoy a dignified, peaceful and fulfilling life.” Id.“Szymanski describes “a few basic assumptions of Soviet society” that were not debated in the press: socialism as a system, communism as a goal, and the leading role of the Communist Party. “These issues are considered to have been settled once and for all and public discussion of them is considered by the regime to be potentially disruptive of popular rule.” This is consistent with Fidel Castro’s famous formula: “Within the revolution, everything; against the revolution, nothing.” These basic assumptions of socialism can be compared with the basic assumptions of capitalism: the supremacy of private property; profit as the major engine of economic activity; exploitation of labour as the source of profit. Id.“Dissidents and anticommunists were appointed as editors of newspapers and magazines, and were given carte blanche to use their publications to openly attack the basic ideas of socialism and the whole nature of the Soviet system. “Liberal intellectuals were named to run Ogonyok, Sovetskaya Kultura, Moscow News, Znamya, and Novy Mir… The top political leadership had actually given editors, journalists, writers, and economists freedom to write as they wished, using the mass media as their vehicle.” Id.“Added to all this was the fact that Gorbachev and his allies decided to end restrictions on foreign propaganda, for example putting an end to the jamming of Radio Liberty– a generously-funded propaganda arm of the CIA, focused on spreading anticommunist lies around the socialist countries of Europe. So Gorbachev’s idea of “improving socialism” was in fact based on bulldozing its structures and legacy.The attack on the party went so far that Fidel Castro, in December 1989, at an event commemorating the 2,000-plus Cubans who died in the course of their heroic internationalist duties in Angola, was moved to remark:It’s impossible to carry out a revolution or conduct a rectification without a strong, disciplined and respected party. It’s not possible to carry out such a process by slandering socialism, destroying its values, discrediting the party, demoralising its vanguard, abandoning its leadership role, eliminating social discipline, and sowing chaos and anarchy everywhere. This may foster a counter-revolution – but not revolutionary change… It is disgusting to see how many people, even in the Soviet Union itself, are engaged in denying and destroying the history-making feats and extraordinary merits of that heroic people. That is not the way to rectify and overcome the undeniable errors made by a revolution that emerged from tsarist authoritarianism in an enormous, backward, poor country. We shouldn’t blame Lenin now for having chosen tsarist Russia as the place for the greatest revolution in history.” Id.Gorbachev then began a full scale assault on reducing the power of the CPSU, the communist party, in an attempt to consolidate his own power. But by weakening the party he left there no gatekeepers of communism in the society. The party had always been the heart of the worker’s revolution and the keepers of the spirit of Marxism. Once it was destroyed the system was doomed.In China they did the opposite. There was no criticism of the party.But we do like the Soviets sometimes, too.Chomsky makes the excellent point that to debunk a lie it takes 10x longer than it does to repeat it. Why? Because lies are lazy. They rely on groupthink. So you must address and knock down improper assumptions if you are to uncover the lie. The problem is that the news media doesn’t have time for that. Second, most people are too lazy to read longer things. The prevailing logic is “Don’t make me think.”Perhaps the most ridiculous things I have heard was from someone who claimed that I am full of it because my answers are “too long,” “based on sophistry,” “cherry picked for the facts,” and “If you cannot explain something simply, you don’t understand it.” Einstein said this. However, he was required to show his work, and not present his theories in cartoon form. Unpacking lies takes time, especially when dealing with a heavily indoctrinated audience.Concision explainedThe other issue is novelty. If you make statements that are outside the groupthink, you need to support them. They will sound crazy to the closed minded. But the open minded will hear you.Verdict:The U.S. propaganda was far more successful.The Soviet propaganda was okay, but you could see through it far more easily than U.S. propaganda.The real problem in the Soviet Union was Glasnost, which really tore the house down. You could have had no propaganda but forbidden anti-Soviet propaganda and been fine. But permitting dissent was the real problem. Also, remember the Soviet people had not learned about so called “atrocities” of Stalin and the Bolsheviks, so they had no framework to discern truth from fact. So they were easily duped by Solzhenitsyn and other dissenters. Solznitsyn is the most effect propagandist in history.His wife told the truth very clearly:A 2003 article regarding the death of Solzhenitsyn’s wife put it like this:“In her 1974 memoir, Sanya: My Life with Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn”…, she wrote that she was ”perplexed” that the West had accepted ”The Gulag Archipelago” as ”the solemn, ultimate truth,” saying its significance had been ”overestimated and wrongly appraised.”Pointing out that the book’s subtitle is ”An Experiment in Literary Investigation,” she said that her husband did not regard the work as ”historical research, or scientific research.”She contended that it was, rather, a collection of ”camp folklore,” containing ”raw material” which her husband was planning to use in his future productions.”The Gulag Archipelago shouldn’t be taken seriouslyFurther, Solzehenitsyn was a right wing radical and extremist.“But there's something else that makes him more complex than just a victim of tyranny and a crusader against it. Once in America and feted by Western leaders, he urged the US to continue bombing Vietnam. He condemned Amnesty International as too liberal, opposed democracy in Russia, and supported General Franco.”Mark Steel: A reactionary called SolzhenitsynThe other accounts of the gulags from letters written by prisoners depicts a whole different reality.“Well-known accounts of Stalin-era labor camps like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s “Gulag Archipelago” and Gustaw Herling’s “A World Apart” imply, in their very titles, that detention sites were almost entirely cut off from the rest of Soviet society – islands divided from the country’s “mainland,” or underworlds into which prisoners disappeared, never to be heard from again.In fact, most Stalin-era labor camp inmates theoretically enjoyed at least some letter-writing privileges. Although rules varied depending on where and when a prisoner was held, often inmates could receive an unlimited amount of correspondence through the official camp mail system (though this was heavily censored).The amount they could send depended on the crime, with harsher limits for political offenders. In the 1940s, inmates sentenced for political crimes were often limited to sending only two to three letters home per year. But some political prisoners, like Formakov, managed to get around these constraints and send steady streams of letters through a mixture of official and illicit channels.”“In a separate series of letters, Formakov describes the stage shows he performed in as part of a camp cultural brigade. In a letter to his wife dated March 9, 1946, Formakov explained that the sunny attitudes the inmates who participated in these shows had to assume were often very much at odds with their reality:“We had a concert on the 8th in honor of International Women’s Day. I served as the emcee… You act as master of ceremonies, make some witty remarks, and then head backstage, release your soul, and you just want to wail… For this reason, I never let it go; my soul is always in a corset.”In addition to letters on standard lined notebook paper and mass-produced postcards, Formakov sent handmade birthday and Christmas cards. In one case, he carved a special anniversary greeting into birch bark for his wife. He wrote and illustrated short stories for his two children (Dima, five years old at the time of Formakov’s first arrest in July 1940, and Zhenia, born in December 1940). And he decorated the pages of some of the letters he sent with pressed wildflowers.”In letters from Stalin's labor camps, a window into Soviet political oppression“But his letters – both those sent through official channels and those smuggled out – capture many details that rarely figure in the memoirs of labor camp survivors. For instance, in a letter dated August 10, 1944, Formakov describes the surreal experience of going to the camp club to watch the 1941 American musical comedy “Sun Valley Serenade,” which had just been purchased by Soviet authorities and would have been a hot ticket in Moscow. Similarly, in a communication dated Oct. 27, 1947, he references rumors of an impending devaluation of the ruble, which suggests that – despite the Soviet state’s efforts to keep plans for a December 1947 currency reform secret – news had leaked, even to distant labor camps.Such passages support recent research by scholars Wilson Bell and Golfo Alexopolous, who have noted that labor camps were far more intertwined with the rest of Soviet society than previously thought.”Other accounts have also corroborated these facts.The Truth about the Soviet Gulag – Surprisingly Revealed by the CIA““Humanitarian” lies serve to brainwash the population into supporting imperialist wars. Fed by far-right propaganda, and funded by the CIA, the mainstream “news” outlets describe the Soviet labour camps – also known as the “the Gulags” – as Stalin’s means to repress pro-democracy dissidents and to enslave the Soviet masses. However, the same CIA that, through Operation Mockingbird, gave the US military almost-total control over mainstream press in order to foster anti-Soviet disinformation (Tracy 2018), has recently released declassified documents that invalidate the slanders surrounding the Gulags.The CIA which conducted various anti-Soviet operations for almost five decades, and whose staff strived to obtain accurate intelligence about the USSR, cannot be said to have any bias in favor of the USSR. Therefore, the following declassified CIA files that surprisingly “confess” in favor of the Soviet Union are particularly valuable.”“The Conditions of the PrisonsA 1957 CIA document titled “Forced Labor Camps in the USSR: Transfer of Prisoners between Camps” reveals the following information about the Soviet Gulag in pages two to six:1. Until 1952, the prisoners were given a guaranteed amount food, plus extra food for over-fulfillment of quotas2. From 1952 onward, the Gulag system operated upon “economic accountability” such that the more the prisoners worked, the more they were paid.3. For over-fulfilling the norms by 105%, one day of sentence was counted as two, thus reducing the time spent in the Gulag by one day.4. Furthermore, because of the socialist reconstruction post-war, the Soviet government had more funds and so they increased prisoners’ food supplies.5. Until 1954, the prisoners worked 10 hours per day, whereas the free workers worked 8 hours per day. From 1954 onward, both prisoners and free workers worked 8 hours per day.6. A CIA study of a sample camp showed that 95% of the prisoners were actual criminals.7. In 1953, amnesty was given to 70% of the “ordinary criminals” of a sample camp studied by the CIA. Within the next 3 months, most of them were re-arrested for committing new crimes.The following are excerpts of the CIA document, underlined and put together for the reader:“According to page four of another CIA (1989) document titled “The Soviet Labour System: An Update,” the number of Gulag prisoners “grew to about 2 million” during Stalin’s time.These figures match Soviet statistics as well, from declassified Soviet achieves. The following is a 1954 declassified Soviet archival document (Pyakhov), an excerpt of which is translated into English:“During the period from 1921 to the present time for counterrevolutionary crimes were convicted 3,777,380 people, including to capital punishment – 642,980 people to the conent in the camps and prisons for a period of 25 years old and under – 2,369,220 into exile and expulsion – 765,190 people.“Of the total number of convicts, approximately convicted: 2,900,000 people – College of OGPU, NKVD and triples Special meeting and 877,000 people – courts by military tribunals, and Spetskollegiev Military Collegium.“It should be noted… that established by Decree … on November 3, 1934 Special Meeting of the NKVD which lasted until September 1, 1953 – 442,531 people were convicted, including to capital punishment – 10,101 people to prison – 360,921 people to exile and expulsion (within the country) – 57,539 people and other punishments (offset time in detention, deportation abroad, compulsory treatment) – 3,970 people…Attorney General R. RudenkoInterior Minister S. KruglovJustice Minister K. Gorshenin”The Soviet archives remained declassified for decades, only to be released near or after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In addition, after Stalin died, the pro-Stalin head of the NKVD (Soviet interior ministry) Lavrenty Beria had already been executed by Khrushchev, a staunch anti-Stalinist (History in an hour 2010). These facts make it very unlikely that the Soviet intelligence would have a pro-Stalin bias.The Italian-American historian Michael Parenti (1997, pp. 79-80) further analyzes the data provided from the Soviet archives:“In 1993, for the first time, several historians gained access to previously secret Soviet police archives and were able to establish well-documented estimates of prison and labor camp populations. They found that the total population of the entire gulag as of January 1939, near the end of the Great Purges, was 2,022,976. At about that time, there began a purge of the purgers, including many intelligence and secret police (NKVD) officials and members of the judiciary and other investigative committees, who were suddenly held responsible for the excesses of the terror despite their protestations of fidelity to the regime.“Soviet labor camps were not death camps like those the Nazis built across Europe. There was no systematic extermination of inmates, no gas chambers or crematoria to dispose of millions of bodies…. [T]he great majority of gulag inmates survived and eventually returned to society when granted amnesty or when their terms were finished. In any given year, 20 to 40 percent of the inmates were released, according to archive records. Oblivious to these facts, the Moscow correspondent of the New York Times (7/31/96) continues to describe the gulag as ‘the largest system of death camps in modern history’.“Almost a million gulag prisoners were released during World War II to serve in the military. The archives reveal that more than half of all gulag deaths for the 1934-53 period occurred during the war years (1941-45), mostly from malnutrition, when severe privation was the common lot of the entire Soviet population. (Some 22 million Soviet citizens perished in the war.) In 1944, for instance, the labor-camp death rate was 92 per 1000. By 1953, with the postwar recovery, camp deaths had declined to 3 per 1000.“Should all gulag inmates be considered innocent victims of Red repression? Contrary to what we have been led to believe, those arrested for political crimes (‘counterrevolutionary offenses’) numbered from 12 to 33 percent of the prison population, varying from year to year. The vast majority of inmates were charged with nonpolitical offenses: murder, assault, theft, banditry, smuggling, swindling, and other violations punishable in any society.”Thus, according to the CIA, approximately two million people were sent to the Gulag in the 1930s, whereas according to declassified Soviet archives, 2,369,220 up until 1954. When compared to the population of the USSR at the time, as well as the statistics of a country like the United States, the Gulag percent population in the USSR throughout its history was lower than that of the United States today or since the 1990s. In fact, based on Sousa’s (1998)research, there was a larger percentage of prisoners (relative to the whole population) in the US, than there ever was in the USSR:“In a rather small news item appearing in the newspapers of August 1997, the FLT-AP news agency reported that in the US there had never previously been so many people in the prison system as the 5.5 million held in 1996. This represents an increase of 200,000 people since 1995 and means that the number of criminals in the US equals 2.8% of the adult population. These data are available to all those who are part of the North American department of justice…. The number of convicts in the US today is 3 million higher than the maximum number ever held in the Soviet Union! In the Soviet Union, there was a maximum of 2.4% of the adult population in prison for their crimes – in the US the figure is 2.8% and rising! According to a press release put out by the US department of justice on 18 January 1998, the number of convicts in the US in 1997 rose by 96,100.”ConclusionSeeing the USSR as a major ideological challenge, the Western imperial bourgeoisie demonized Stalin and the Soviet Union. Yet after decades of propaganda, declassified archives from both the US and USSR together debunk these anti-Soviet slanders. Worth our attention is the fact that the CIA – a fiercely anti-Soviet source – has published declassified documents debunking the very anti-Soviet myths it promoted and continues to promote in the mainstream media. Together with declassified Soviet archives, the CIA files have demonstrated that the bourgeois press has lied about the Gulags.Notes13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Abolition of Slavery.

The names are different.Marketing—Propaganda for selling goods and servicesAdvertising—Print or media propaganda for selling goods and servicesPropaganda—”Is information that is not objective and is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, often by presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is presented. Propaganda is often associated with material prepared by governments, but activist groups, companies, religious organizations and the media can also produce propaganda. “Propaganda - Wikipedia“In the twentieth century, the term propaganda has often been associated with a manipulative approach, but propaganda historically was a neutral descriptive term. A wide range of materials and media are used for conveying propaganda messages, which changed as new technologies were invented, including paintings, cartoons, posters, pamphlets, films, radio shows, TV shows, and websites. More recently, the digital age has given rise to new ways of disseminating propaganda, for example, through the use of bots and algorithms to create computational propaganda and spread fake or biased news using social media. In a 1929 literary debate with Edward Bernays, Everett Dean Martinargues that, "Propaganda is making puppets of us. We are moved by hidden strings which the propagandist manipulates." Id.Bernays was a genius at influencing the public. Prior to this period advertising used logic to sell goods. For example, a Ford might create advertising that describes the quality of the product, its usefulness, and other logical reasons to buy the product.Freudian psychoanalysis was becoming very popular at the time. Freud talked about how human beings are not solely rational actors. In fact there are subconscious desires acting upon us without our knowledge. Freud intended to use these factors to help people overcome their mental disturbances. Bernays had a different purpose—to make money.Bernays happened to be Freud’s nephew. Bernays was approached by a cigarette manufacturer.“I have an untapped market,” the executive said.“There is a stigma against women smoking, so we are missing out on potential sales of cigarettes.”“Let me think about and get back to you,” Bernays said.There was turmoil in Europe, so Bernays did not write to him.“So then I called up the head Freudian psycholanalyst in America and presented the problem.”“I can help you, said the psychoanalyst, but it is going to take some money.”A week later Bernays received a call back.“Women don’t smoke because there is a stigma against women smoking. Men don’t like it. But there is a big push for women’s suffrage. So you need to associate smoking with women’s liberation. Call the cigarettes ‘Torches of Freedom’ and have important women smoking. It will associate smoking with women’s liberation.”Bernays told the cigarette maker to give cigarettes to women marching in a parade for women’s suffrage. They did. The newspapers reported the smoking as “Torches of Freedom.”Smoking among women skyrocketed and the cigarette companies made a fortune.Appealing to women who wanted freedom and to be cosmopolitan was very effective.America was isolationist and didn’t want to enter WWI. President Wilson did. He hired Bernays to turn around public opinion regarding the war. Bernays was incredibly successful.This documentary covers Bernays very well.To this day political elections are marketing campaigns. Take for example Barack Obama. Obama was young, well spoken, good looking, in line with American neoliberalism and not a radical, and could reliably deliver on the side of Wall Street. He received enormous support from them.America was given a “sample” of Obama during the 2004 election. The Democratic Party is ran by the elites of Wall Street. The Democratic Party up until recently had in its selection process superdelegates. These were party elites that could deliver a huge number of votes. The superdelegates could easily outnumber the number of votes by members of the party. That is why Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election had virtually no chance of winning unless he received a vast majority of votes by the ordinary members of the party. The elites also happen to be leading members of society, including Wall Street, Fortune 500 corporations, etc. In America both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are corporate parties. Turns out the primary was far more rigged in other ways too, as shown by Wikileaks.The public liked Obama. America had been run through the ringer by the Big Banks selling risky but profitable subprime loans. They were selling debt packages too, which they knew were not secure. America was in a terrible recession and mired in Iraq and Afghanistan in bloody wars going nowhere. America was terrified still of terrorists.Obama could be sold as something different. Young, articulate, and African American—perhaps he could be sold as someone who might give us hope and bring change. Thus, the “Hope and Change” campaign began. During this process Obama let himself become everything to all people. He made no efforts to disabuse liberals of his neoliberal ideology.Obama won. Bernays would have been so proud. Obama’s campaign even won a “Marketer of the Year Award.”"I think he did a great job of going from a relative unknown to a household name to being a candidate for president," said Linda Clarizio, president of AOL's Platform A, the sponsor of the opening-night dinner attended by 750 where the votes were cast."I honestly look at [Obama's] campaign and I look at it as something that we can all learn from as marketers," said Angus Macaulay, VP-Rodale marketing solutions "To see what he's done, to be able to create a social network and do it in a way where it's created the tools to let people get engaged very easily. It's very easy for people to participate."Jon Fine, marketing and media columnist for BusinessWeek, pointed to Mr. Obama's facility with engaging voters in social-media channels. "It's the fuckin' Web 2.0 thing," he said.In introducing the winner to the crowd, Ad Age Editor Jonah Bloom joked, "I'm surprised. I thought you [all] made more than $250,000."Obama Wins! ... Ad Age's Marketer of the YearObama turned out to be the Trojan Horse that saved Wall Street. As President he bailed out the Big Banks and auto companies. He let Main St. learn “tough love and personal responsibility.”He also was the best friend to the defense contractors and the military industrial complex. He doubled down on drone strikes and extrajudicial killings. He supported the overthrow of governments in Libya, Honduras, and Ukraine, and largely in Syria by supporting jihadi extremists fighting against Assad, a moderate Muslim. He presided over a massive government surveillance program spying on all Americans.Obama’s Final Drone Strike DataBoth Republicans and Democrats agree when it comes to U.S. imperial aggression.At a speech for the elites Obama proudly reminds them how much he did for them:“You’re welcome.”The American Media As Self CensoringNoam Chomsky and Ed Hermann in their book “Manufacturing Consent” discuss how the media self censors while presenting information. The best form of propaganda is that in which the speaker truly believes it. That way it is sincere.The U.S. mainstream media is owned and operated by six major corporations. Advertisers control funding, thus they control the content by voting with their wallets. If Tucker Carlson says something that offends the public and might hurt their sales, they pull the funding. Without money the show is cancelled. If Tucker Carlson says something pro socialist, this is detrimental to business interests, so the funding gets cut.Journalists that believe in the values of American imperialism, neoliberalism, and American exceptionalism are hired. Dissent is permitted, but within sharply constrained boundaries.Discussion is focused on differences between the two corporate parties, Republican vs. Democrat. The Green Party and others aren’t given much attention. Sharp differences between the two give the illusion of free speech and active debate.Television media is constrained by concision. Pundits must say things in between commercials. Pundits that say things contrary to the standard conventional wisdom are not aired because explaining the facts and nuances of their positions would take too long. So pundits tend to just confirm what is already understood.“Balance” is another factor. Take climate change, for instance. 97% of climate change scientists are in consensus that climate change is real and caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels. This is established. But the media will bring on one scientist to represent the majority and for “balance” a dissenter will be brought on. Then the two debate. This gives the impression that the matter is in fact not settled, and there is genuine debate going on in the climate change scientist community. It is not.Just in case the mainstream media doesn’t fight communism enough, the government works to ensure that the public is properly propagandized against the “evils of socialism.”School in America is the primary form of propagandaThe Black Book of CommunismThe Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression by Nicholas Werth et al. is anti-communist propaganda filled with lies and misrepresentations. The book is often quoted for the bogus claims that “Communism killed 100 million people,” “Stalin killed 60 million,” etc.In it, the authors wrongly equivocate communism and Nazism. Nevermind that Hitler was the mortal enemy of communism, whom he claimed were “JudeoBolsheviks” because 80% of the Bolsheviks were Jews. It was communists that liberated Jews from the camps. Upon liberating them some Soviet soldiers broke down. Many vomited. Some found Nazi guards hiding and killed them.Were the Nazis Socialists? SnopesMost of the Black Book of Communism the regurgitation of Nazi propaganda. Sometimes it references Robert Conquest. It fails to mention that Conquest based much of his narrative on Nazi propaganda (at that time the Kremlin had not released seminal documents), so historians had confused propaganda from what really happened. Once Conquest, Pipes, and Applebaum published their works, these composed the Cold War propaganda canon. Any attempts to correct these by actual historical proof that was released by the Kremlin after the fall of the USSR was waived off as “Stalin apologism” and equating it with “Holocaust denial.”Alexander Finnegan's answer to How true is the claim that most Cold War propaganda about the Soviet Union is regurgitated directly from Nazi propaganda?CriticismEven mainline scholars consider it not something to be taken seriously.Whereas chapters of the book, where it describes the events in separate Communist states, were highly praised, some generalizations made by Courtois in the introduction to the book became a subject of criticism both on scholarly and political grounds. Moreover, two of the book's main contributors—Nicolas Werth and Jean-Louis Margolin—as well as Karel Bartosek publicly disassociated themselves from Courtois' statements in the introduction and criticized his editorial conduct. Werth and Margolin felt Courtois was "obsessed" with arriving at a total of 100 million killed which resulted in "sloppy and biased scholarship"and faulted him for exaggerating death tolls in specific countries. They also argued that based on the results of their studies, one can tentatively estimate the total number of the victims at between 65 and 93 million. In particular, Margolin, who authored the Black Book's chapter on Vietnam, clarified "that he has never mentioned a million deaths in Vietnam.” Historians Jean-Jacques Becker and J. Arch Getty have criticized Courtois for failing to draw a distinction between victims of neglect and famine and victims of "intentional murder". Economic historian Michael Ellman has argued that the book's estimate of "at least 500,000" deaths during the Soviet famine of 1946–1947 "is formulated in an extremely conservative way, since the actual number of victims was much larger", with 1,000,000–1,500,000 excess deaths. Regarding these questions, historian Alexander Dallin has argued that moral, legal, or political judgments hardly depend on the number of victims. Many observers have rejected Courtois's numerical and moral comparison of Communism to Nazism in the introduction. According to Werth, there was still a qualitative difference between Nazism and Communism, saying: "Death camps did not exist in the Soviet Union". He further told Le Monde: "The more you compare Communism and Nazism, the more the differences are obvious". In a critical review, historian Amir Weiner wrote: "When Stalin's successors opened the gates of the Gulag, they allowed 3 million inmates to return home. When the Allies liberated the Nazi death camps, they found thousands of human skeletons barely alive awaiting what they knew to be inevitable execution". Historian Ronald Suny remarked that Courtois' comparison of 100 million victims of Communism to 25 million victims of Nazism "[leaves out] out most of the 40-60,000,000 lives lost in the Second World War, for which arguably Hitler and not Stalin was principally responsible". A report by the Wiesel Commission criticized the comparison of Gulag victims with Jewish Holocaustvictims as an attempt to trivialize the Holocaust. Historian Peter Kenez criticized the chapter written by Nicolas Werth: "Werth can also be an extremely careless historian. He gives the number of Bolsheviks in October 1917 as 2,000, which is a ridiculous underestimate. He quotes from a letter of Lenin to Alexander Shliapnikovand gives the date as 17 October 1917; the letter could hardly have originated at that time, since in it Lenin talks about the need to defeat the Tsarist government, and turn the war into a civil conflict. He gives credit to the Austro-Hungarian rather than the German army for the conquest of Poland in 1915. He describes the Provisional Government as 'elected'. He incorrectly writes that the peasant rebels during the civil war did more harm to the Reds than to the Whites, and so on". Historian Mark Tauger challenged the authors' thesis that the famine of 1933 was largely artificial and genocidal. According to journalist Gilles Perrault, the books ignores the effect of international factors, including military interventions, on the communist experience. Social critic Noam Chomsky has criticized the book and its reception as one-sided by outlining economist Amartya Sen's research on hunger. While India's democratic institutions prevented famines, its excess of mortality over China—potentially attributable to the latter's more equal distribution of medical and other resources—was nonetheless close to 4 million per year for non-famine years. Chomsky argued that "supposing we now apply the methodology of the Black Book" to India, "the democratic capitalist 'experiment' has caused more deaths than in the entire history of [...] Communism everywhere since 1917: over 100 million deaths by 1979, and tens of millions more since, in India alone". Le Siècle des Communismes, a collective work of twenty academics, was a response to both François Furet's Le passé d'une Illusion and Courtois's The Black Book of Communism. It broke Communism down into series of discrete movements, with mixed positive and negative results. The Black Book of Communism prompted the publication of several other "black books" which argued that similar chronicles of violence and death tolls can be constructed from an examination of colonialism and capitalism.The Black Book of Communism - WikipediaThe Black Book of Communism alleges that communism killed 94 million people during the 20th century. This number is accumulated from more than 10 different nations and various movements around the world. It includes two of some of the most populated nations on Earth — China and the Soviet Union. Despite being cited often, the Black Book of Communism has repeatedly been criticized for it’s reckless, careless, and highly questionable methodology.Some of the major criticisms against the Black Book of Communism includes the fact that it counts the following as “victims of communism”: some nazis and their collaborators who were killed by the Soviet Union during World War II, people who died in the 1921 Russian famine (which was caused by drought, the whites stealing food, war, etc), other hunger-related deaths caused by the nazi war against the Soviet Union, and many other incidents that were dishonestly attributed. The book contains deaths dishonestly attributed to communism by completely ignoring external factors such as sanctions, foreign military intervention, etc. It also includes inaccuracies of historical events such as when Werth credits the Austro-Hungarian army, not the German army, for the occupation of Poland in 1915, making the ridiculous claim that the bolsheviks only had 2,000 members in October 1917 when they actually had around 200,000 members, or claiming that the infamous U.S.-backed dictator Batista “fiercely opposed” the U.S., and in some instances, pulls numbers straight out of thin air.Debunking: “Communism killed more people than naziism!”A passage from the “Black Book of Communism” where it portrays the OUN/UPA nazi collaborators as heroic victims of communism who fought against the ‘commies and jews’ . They are responsible for pogroms in Ukraine where they murdered tens of thousands of Jewish, Polish, & other ethnic minorities alongside of the German nazis such as in Babi Yar (1941) where they later set up the Syrets nazi concentration camp in 1942. Id.The critics of the book’s claim of 94 million people killed by communism includes some the book’s own authors. One of them that is particularly noteworthy is Nicholas Werth, who is responsible for writing much of the book. Werth is on record as saying that the allegations of a death toll of communism during the 20th century of beyond 85 million as being ‘non-clarified’ and ‘unjustified’. Continuing, he says from the book that the highest possible estimate is 93 million while the lowest being 65 million. In another instance he also admitted that he alleged 15 million deaths by the Soviet Union and Courtois, the editor, seemingly pulled 5 million deaths out of thin air, which just so coincidentally happens to be about as many nazi/axis soliders that were killed in WWII by the USSR, and added it to reach 20 million. Margolin, another main writer of the book, also admitted in the previous Le Monde article that Courtois’s claim of one million killed in Vietnam is also bogus, stating that he ‘never reported a million’. In explaining why Courtois lied, they admitted that the editor was “obsessed” with trying to reach 100 million. Various authors of the book have also protested Courtois’s comparison of communism and naziism with comments such as ‘extermination camps did not exist in the USSR’ and ‘the more you compare communism and nazism, the more the differences are obvious.’The claim that communism killed 94 million people during the 20th century, for all intents and purposes, is an outright lie that hinges on counting millions of deaths that were not caused by communism and by having sympathies for nazis and their genocidal collaborators during WWII, as if they were victims of anything but justice. But that is a whole discussion for another time — even with the Black Book of Communism’s fake death toll, many people have taken it upon themselves to stretch that lie even more, attempting to place the death toll at 100 million. The false and inflated number of 100 million people being killed by communism over 100 years will be the number I will use just because it is the most common myth perpetuated.If the allegation against communism is that it killed 100 million people, how many people did naziism kill? The Holocaust death toll is estimated to be between 15 million to 20 million people. That is at least 1.25 million people killed each year. Compared to communism’s alleged one million deaths among ten different nations and from various movements. If naziism kept that pace of 1.25 million people killed each year, it would reach 125 million deaths in a century— compared to communism’s alleged 100 million. Comparing the alleged deaths of 100 years of communism to the death toll from 12 years of naziism is intellectually dishonest, you are comparing apples to oranges. When you realize that you are comparing 15 million deaths in 12 years versus 100 million deaths in 100 years, the claim that “communism killed more people than naziism” starts to become more visible as the nazi propaganda that it is.However naziism is responsible for more deaths than just from the Holocaust. Naziism is why World War II even happened — had naziism not been created then Nazi Germany wouldn’t have caused the world war, and World War II (as we know it) would not have existed. It is possible in a hypothetical universe that a war would have still occurred given the material conditions that the nazis exploited to rise to power. But at the same time it is also possible that other people would have risen to power and not caused a war. But we live in this universe and in this universe WWII was officially caused by Nazi Germany after rising to power by exploiting the dismal material conditions in the failed capitalist Weimar Republic. The number of civilians killed during WWII is estimated to be about 50 million people to 55 million people (almost all being allied civilians, largely Soviet civilians), about half being from famine and war-related diseases. Military deaths range from 21 million people to 25 million people — in total that is about 71 million people to 80 million people killed because of naziism’s war on humanity through WWII. Using both of the most conservative estimates, 71 million from WWII and 15 million from the Holocaust, that’s about 86 million people killed by naziism. In 12 years.Naziism was only getting started with it’s killing though. The nazis had a plan called “Generalplan Ost”, a plan for genocide of Slavs and colonization of Eastern Europe. The population of the Soviet Union was over 160,000,000 people before the war and had a net growth of almost over a million people each non-wartime year. In 1946, the population of the Soviet Union was 170,548,000, after losing over 20,000,000 people during World War II. The nazi plan, had the Soviets and their allies lost, would have resulted in the deaths of about 200,000,000 people in the Soviet Union.What about the deaths caused by neo-nazis since World War II? Since 2014, thousands of civilians have been killed by the neo-nazi militias of the fascist Ukrainian government such as Azov in Donbass with grad rockets, by cutting off water supplies, shelling the homes of civilians, and more. An alt-right nazi terrorist in Norway (2011) killed 77 people and injured over 300. The number of deaths by nazi terrorist attacks, neo-nazi movements, and regimes inspired by Nazi Germany adds more and more deaths to the nazi death toll.Nazi Germany was born in 1933 and died in 1945. In 12 years of it’s ugly existence, it led to the deaths of over 86 million people between the Holocaust and causing World War II. Meanwhile the allegation against communism over 100 years in 10 different nations (two of which were some of the most populated nations on Earth), and from various communist movements around the world is 100 million people killed.And as for capitalism, 100 million Indigenous people in the Americas were killed during the European colonization for the propagation of American capitalism, as well as millions of African people that were enslaved as property to be profited off of by capitalists in the West. How many people have been killed by capitalist sanctions? How many people have been killed in capitalist wars? How many people have been killed by capitalist dictators like Pincohet? How many people have died and will we let die for profiteering?Every time you preach this lie, you’re aiding the rise of neo-naziism & fascism. Put the intellectually dishonest claim that “communism killed more people than naziism” to sleep — you’re lying to yourself & everybody around you. Id.There are indeed no limits to which anti-communists will stoop to preach their hateful message. Sadly, some of it comes from right wing nationalists. There is a disturbing increase in fascism and neo Nazism around the world.More realistic numbers can be found.Some may argue that capitalism is not related to imperialism. Or some argue that capitalism is not bad but crony capitalism, or corporatism is the problem. Both are untrue. Capitalism involves competition. When corporate entities influence politicians to make laws which favor them and disrupt the market, this is unstoppable because liberal democracy is bourgeois democracy. It is rule by the bourgeois elites who will stop at nothing to maintain their power. Your average person doesn’t want there to be corporate donations and lobbying, but this is not something they can change because even the Supreme Court has endorsed dark money and has called corporate donations Constitutionally protected Free Speech.“According to Karl Marx, the expansion of imperialism was directly linked to a growth in capitalism due to one fundamental reason: the fact that capitalism was a worldwide system and unable to be constrained within the boundaries of a single country or nation-state (Chandra, 39). This viewpoint of Marx is reiterated by historian Bipan Chandra who states: “by its very nature capitalism could not exist in only one country…it expanded to encompass the entire world, including the backward, noncapitalist countries…it was a world system” (Chandra, 39). In accordance with this view, Marx argued that capitalism required an “international division of labour,” in which the capitalists sought to convert “one part of the globe into a chiefly agricultural field of production, for supplying the other part which remains a chiefly industrial field” (Chandra, 43). Thus, according to Marx, imperialism served as a means to extract a large amount of “raw materials” and resources in a relatively cheap manner – all at the expense (and exploitation) of the indigenous peoples of the world that came into contact with the imperial powers. Ironically, Marx viewed the expansion of capitalist societies into the world as a necessary evil that would, ultimately, shift societies toward the path of communism. For Marx – who believed that society followed a series of progressing epochs – imperialism was simply the next (and unavoidable) step for capitalism’s relentless expansion.”Capitalism and the Expansion of ImperialismHitler loved capitalism. He believed in private property. The Nazis at Mauthausen concentration camp would rent prisoner slaves to businesses, including Volkswagen and Bayer. Slaves were rented to do quarry work and to work on railroad lines. Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp complex - WikipediaThe lies about the Holomodor have been solidly debunked:Alexander Finnegan's answer to What is the history of famines and starvation in Russia 1850-present day?Much of the present anti-communist propaganda is from Nazis.“According to journalist George Seldes:"Hitler had the support of the most widely circulated magazine in history, Readers Digest, as well as nineteen big-city newspapers and one of the three great American news agencies, the $220-million Hearst press empire.Hearst…was the lord of all the press lords in the United States. The millions who read the Hearst newspapers and magazines and saw Hearst newsreels in the nation's moviehouses had their minds poisoned by Hitler propaganda."Seldes recounts that the American Ambassador to Germany, William E. Dodd, told him that"[When] Hearst came to take the waters at Bad Nauheim [Germany] in September 1934…Hitler sent two of his most trusted Nazi propagandists…to ask Hearst how Nazism could present a better image in the U.S. When Hearst went to Berlin later in the month, he was taken to see Hitler."Seldes reports that a $400,000 a year deal was struck between Hearst and Hitler, and signed by Doctor Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister. "Hearst," continues Seldes, "completely changed the editorial policy of his nineteen daily newspapers the same month he got the money."In court documents filed on behalf of Dan Gillmor, publisher of a magazine Friday, in response to a lawsuit by Hearst, he states:"Promptly after this visit with Adolf Hitler and the making of said arrangements... plaintiff, William Randolph Hearst, instructed all Hearst press correspondents in Germany, including those of INS (Hearst's International News Service) to report happenings in Germany only in a friendly manner. All of correspondents reporting happenings in Germany accurately and without friendliness, sympathy and bias for the actions of the German government, were transferred elsewhere, discharged, or forced to resign."In the late 1930s, Seldes recounts, when "several sedition indictments [were brought by] the Department of Justice...against a score or two of Americans, the defendants included an unusually large minority of newspaper men and women, most of them Hearst employees."Source: Randy Davis, "Nazis in the Attic"http://www.emperors-clothes.com/...---William Randolph Hearst is known as one of the largest media moguls of all time. During the 1930s, he worked with the Nazi party to help promote a positive image of the Nazi party in American media. He also received loans from Italian fascist bankers during this time. The actions of Hearst were an important element in shaping American sentiment about not getting involved in the political situation in Europe as many Americans were lead to believe that there was nothing terribly wrong going on in Europe, and even after the war started some Americans continued to support the Nazi regime based on the propaganda that they had been exposed to through Hearst media sources.Source: "This War Is About So Much More."http://ww.rationalrevolution.net/american_supporters_of_the_europ.htm”William Randolph HearstIt is a matter of some significance that Cardinal Innitzer’s allegations of famine-genocide were widely promoted throughout the 1930s, not only by Hitler’s chief propagandist Goebbels, but also by American Fascists as well.It will be recalled that Hearst kicked off his famine campaign with a radio broadcast based mainly on material from Cardinal Innitzer’s “aid committee.” In Organized Anti-Semitism in America, the 1941 book exposing Nazi groups and activities in the pre-war United States, Donald Strong notes that American fascist leader Father Coughlin used Nazi propaganda material extensively. This included Nazi charges of “atrocities by Jew Communists” and verbatim portions of a Goebbels speech referring to Innitzer’s “appeal of July 1934, that millions of people were dying of hunger throughout the Soviet Union.”Tottle, Douglas.

Even Solzehnitysn’s wife admitted her husband’s book was fiction.A 2003 article regarding the death of Solzhenitsyn’s wife put it like this:“In her 1974 memoir, Sanya: My Life with Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn”…, she wrote that she was ”perplexed” that the West had accepted ”The Gulag Archipelago” as ”the solemn, ultimate truth,” saying its significance had been ”overestimated and wrongly appraised.”Pointing out that the book’s subtitle is ”An Experiment in Literary Investigation,” she said that her husband did not regard the work as ”historical research, or scientific research.” She contended that it was, rather, a collection of ”camp folklore,” containing ”raw material” which her husband was planning to use in his future productions.”The Gulag Archipelago shouldn’t be taken seriouslyIn fact the U.S. government hired former Nazis to help them create propaganda and to spy on leftists.“The wide use of Nazi spies grew out of a Cold War mentality shared by two titans of intelligence in the 1950s: Mr. Hoover, the longtime F.B.I. director, and Mr. Dulles, the C.I.A. director.Mr. Dulles believed “moderate” Nazis might “be useful” to America, records show. Mr. Hoover, for his part, personally approved some ex-Nazis as informants and dismissed accusations of their wartime atrocities as Soviet propaganda.In 1968, Mr. Hoover authorized the F.B.I. to wiretap a left-wing journalist who wrote critical stories about Nazis in America, internal records show.

Augsburg’s SS unit performed “special duties,” a euphemism for exterminating Jews and other “undesirables” during the Second World War.Although he was wanted in Poland for war crimes, Augsburg managed to ingratiate himself with the U.S. CIA, which employed him in the late 1940s as an expert on Soviet affairs. Recently released CIA records indicate that Augsburg was among a rogue’s gallery of Nazi war criminals recruited by U.S. intelligence agencies shortly after Germany surrendered to the Allies.Pried loose by Congress, which passed the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act three years ago, a long-hidden trove of once-classified CIA documents confirms one of the worst-kept secrets of the cold war–the CIA’s use of an extensive Nazi spy network to wage a clandestine campaign against the Soviet Union.The CIA reports show that U.S. officials knew they were subsidizing numerous Third Reich veterans who had committed horrible crimes against humanity, but these atrocities were overlooked as the anti-Communist crusade acquired its own momentum. For Nazis who would otherwise have been charged with war crimes, signing on with American intelligence enabled them to avoid a prison term.“The real winners of the cold war were Nazi war criminals, many of whom were able to escape justice because the East and West became so rapidly focused after the war on challenging each other,” says Eli Rosenbaum, director of the Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations and America’s chief Nazi hunter.

Every time you hear it the lie gets bigger. If someone fell off their bicycle and hit their head and died it must have been the fault of communists, according to their strange logic. The truth is that communism never caused a famine. Famines were common in Russia. The Nazis blamed the famine on Stalin to incite Ukrainian nationalism. Stalin never killed by the Great Purge millions of people. In fact reliable sources estimate that no more than 250k at the absolute most died in the purges, and many of those killed were swept up in the purges ran by lower level officials. Stalin ordered some people killed. Those condemned in the trials have been shown to be guilty by overwhelming evidence. They were not show trials.Debunking: “Communism killed more people than naziism!”Even to the present day America supports neo-Nazis in Ukraine.

Everything about the development of your resume must be focused on this fact. An effective resume gets you the maximum number of interviews.Your resume must contain the right information for the right job.To be effective, your resume must be attention getting AND use keywords and phrases that effectively communicate your value for that job and company. Extraneous information detracts from this communication.You have a short period of time and a limited amount of space to attract attention, demonstrate your value and get an interview. Use it wisely. If your resume is focused and succinct, it will increase your chances of getting decision makers to call you.Many executive resumes will have three or even four pages; most not more than three.How your resume looks is important too.Your resume must capture attention by using design elements such as type fonts, bolding, layout and white space so it stands out from the mass. These design elements are not just visual. They serve a key purpose: To guide readers’ eyes to the information you want them to see, in the order you want it seen.Remember, a resume that simply looks good but does not contain the right information in the right order won’t make it past the initial review.What resume format is best?There are distinct styles in which resumes are written. The traditional style is reverse chronological; another is functional (skills based). When hiring managers, recruiters and executive search firms were asked which style they preferred, 50% of them said they like a combination of traditional and functional. Only 10% preferred functional, leaving 40% who want to see the traditional (reverse chronological) format.How an organization will process your resume.There has been a dramatic development in the job market. Employers, recruiters, and executive search firms are receiving hundreds of resumes for every job available. Competition is fierce, even for jobs on the top rungs of the corporate ladder. Jobs that were once considered recession-proof.Today, 90% of medium to large-size organizations use electronic scanners to search for keywords; words that are industry-specific and even job-specific. If they are not found in a resume, it is quickly tossed. Smaller companies still use people to scan resumes, but these human scanners also look for those all-important keywords.Most resumes, typically 95%, will be discarded in this initial review/scan. Those passing this review are evaluated to see if the candidate meets the minimum requirements. This is a competitive evaluation against all other resumes that made it through the initial review/scan. Typically, another 3% will be discarded at this step. Finally, the remaining resumes are evaluated in detail and the top candidates invited for an interview.Only 1-2% of the resumes received will result in an interview!It is crucial that your resume be prepared with the goal of passing all three levels of review.What do hiring managers want to see in your resume?Foremost, verifiable accomplishments; 88% of hiring managers polled listed this as the single most important thing they look for in a resume. Hiring managers also want to find answers to some key questions in your resume.Can this person fill my need? Even if your resume lists all of the required qualifications, if it’s not targeted to the specific company and opening, your qualifications could appear unrelated to the job. Customizing your resume to fit the specific position shows the hiring manager you are a perfect fit. One way to customize your resume is by using numbers. They will stand out in an ocean of words. For example, “Restructured operations to increase profit 27%.”Will this person remain with the company for a long time? It costs companies a lot of money to screen, interview, hire and train employees. If you have changed jobs frequently or have gaps in your employment, offer valid explanations, within your resume, for these career missteps. Hiring managers want someone who is committed to the long term; not a short-timer.Is this person professional? The hiring manager judges your ability to communicate well and conduct yourself in a professional manner only by looking at a few sheets of paper; your resume. So make sure it is free of typos and grammatical errors and is easy to understand and travel through. In a recent survey, 76% of the hiring managers asked, said they discard resumes that have typos and grammatical errors. Hiring managers are busy and demanding people. They will eliminate you for the slightest infraction and they won’t call you for explanations.How a recruiter will process your resume.Recruiters and executive search firms weed out candidates not suited to their clients’ positions. They look at resumes for only a few seconds before deciding which get discarded and which get marketed. Recruiters and executive search firms want a resume that looks good and is easy to read. They also look for:Common job titles like CEO, COO, CFO, CIO, Operations Manager and Human Resources DirectorEducational titles; i.e., MBA, JD, CPA and BSBrand names (well-known companies you have worked for; schools from which you graduated)Dates that tell them how often you have switched jobs and how long you stayed in each particular employment situationCharacteristics and skills that highlight the special talents you have acquired and in which corporate areas your experience is heaviestSound-bites; quick, action-oriented paragraphs and statements that describe actions you’ve taken and the results of those actionsRemember, recruiters and executive search firms use resumes to screen out candidates more than to find candidates. They will not waste time trying to uncover critical facts in your resume. They must see them in the first few seconds of picking up your resume or it will immediately be discarded.Recruiters and executive search firms also want to know personal information about you in order to better market you to employers, such as marital status, age, leisure activities, etc. However, this information should be provided to them outside of your resume. Personal information should not be in your resume.What is a resume factory?Some resume writing companies develop resumes from templates. They have clerical staffs who use the templates to write resumes, and hence can offer low cost. While this does get a resume written quickly, it depends on a template to express who you are and what you can do for a company. The results? An uninteresting and ineffective resume – typical of what organizations and recruiters see day in and day out.What is a resume rewrite?A resume writing organization may take your existing resume and reformat it for you. This is a rewrite. It doesn’t add anything to your resume. It reorganizes the existing information into a more pleasing format. Usually, this is only cosmetic. Remember, content is the key to getting interviews.How do ethical, professional resume writers work?Resume writing is indeed a profession – with standards, education, and certifications. Professional resume writers stay current with developments in the employment field.For example, a Branding Statement has become expected as the leading element in a resume. Without this Branding Statement, a resume will be less effective. This is only one example of items you need in your resume that a professional resume writer will automatically provide.Also, professional resume writers will work directly with you. They will not subcontract your resume to unqualified persons. They will take the time to get to know you through questionnaires and telephone discussions.They will be able to uncover information about you that will be extremely effective in developing your resume. Information you might not remember to mention or think is important. They are truly consultants in presenting you to the marketplace you target for the job you want.What is the value of an average resume versus an excellent resume?An average resume is a listing of your contact data, job history and responsibilities. It’s a professional obituary. Like an obituary, it will be Dead On Arrival. It will not get you interviews. And it will guarantee your job hunt will be a long and frustrating journey.A recent study reported that the typical job search for an executive or professional is about 38 weeks. That’s because the 100-plus candidates for every available job have submitted average resumes. They all look alike. Average resumes jam the circular file.An excellent resume will significantly reduce your job search time. It will position you as a prime candidate for the job you want. It will get you interviews. If you don’t send an excellent resume… one that SEPARAT.This list of five online resume generators offers a variety of professional, modern, and unorthodox options. Some of them also make it easy to share your resume with potential employers from the website.And unless otherwise stated, you can create many versions of your resume with each of these services, allowing you to target the different positions you are applying for.VisualCVWith VisualCV, you can either upload your information from an existing word document, or enter the information manually through an easy-to-use interface. The free version of the service is quite robust, but with a $12/month upgrade, you will also gain access to all CV designs, the ability to export your CV to Google Docs, and advanced analytics.You can also use your own domain name with a premium account, and can remove VisualCV branding from PDF downloads.Pros:VisualCV offers a clean and professional looking final product, which you can either publish online or share privately with potential employers for free. VisualCV’s free analytics will let you know how many times your resume has been viewed or downloaded, as well as letting you know where visitors came from.The service also provides many example CVs, based on the industry, so you can get some hints and ideas as to how your CV should look, based on your career path. If you need more tips on how to put together a resume, take a look at our guide to putting together the perfect resume, and how to get past the applicant tracking system.Your All-In-One Guide To Building The Perfect ResumeWhether you just graduated, are returning to school or are looking for a new job, within or outside your career, you need a resume. But not just a resume. You need a great resume. One...Cons:While it’s convenient to upload your CV rather than manually enter the information, I found that it didn’t map the information properly whereas other services were able to identify the sections and their associated content correctly. This means it will require quite a bit of editing on your part to fix.While the free PDF download is also a useful feature, the watermark doesn’t really make it usable in a professional setting.KickresumeKickresume’s free accounts give users access to basic resume templates, limited entries and categories, and access to cloud storage for resumes. For a $48/year or $15/month paid upgrade, you gain access to all the existing resume templates, unlimited entries and categories, full customization, an online resume website, cover letter options, and email support.ating a CV using Kickresume, you have to manually enter your personal information, education, and experience. Once you’re done, you can download your resume as a PDF. Premium account holders can also publish their resumes online, choosing a unique Kickresume URL, which allows them to put their name in the link for a nice personalized touch. The URL can also be shared with potential employers.Pros:When selecting a template for your resume, you can filter them by profession, which is a nice touch. The interface is slick and easy to use and takes away a lot of the hassles involved in creating a resume using programs like Word.Kickresume will also be offering resume analytics — a feature that isn’t available yet, and one that is likely to be available only to premium accounts. That said, it should be a supportive feature when job hunting, so that you can get a sense of whether or not your resume is being looked at by recruiters.Kickresume also makes it easy to craft a cover letter using the same design as your CV so that you can keep all the documents in your applications consistent. That, however, is a paid feature.US-based Kickresume users can also search for jobs on the site’s job board, powered by ZipRecruiter.Cons:When it comes to filling in your content, you have to manually enter your resume. There’s no option to upload an existing document or to connect your account to your LinkedIn profile, which can be tedious.The free version of Kickresume is handy, but most of its standout features are understandably reserved for premium users, including sharing an online version of your resume with potential employers. While you can filter templates by profession, you can’t filter free versus pro templates, meaning you have to wade through a big selection of templates that you can’t use if you prefer to stick with the free version of the service.Some basic features are also only available as a paid upgrade such as adding new sections to your resume, and customizing fonts and colors.CanvaOme among Canva’s many features is the option to create a “visual” CV. You can either choose from over 30 existing templates or if you fancy yourself a designer, you can select from a variety of grids that give you complete control over how your resume will turn out.If you opt for a pre-designed layout, you can just edit the dummy text, replacing it with your own information. You can also add extra design elements (shapes, lines, icons, and more), change the background, and upload images.Once you’ve completed your resume, you can share the link through Twitter, Facebook, or via email. Downloading a JPG, PNG, or PDF version will set you back $1 per download, but you can also download a watermarked draft for free.Pros:Canva offers users some pretty heavy duty customization features that are uncomplicated. With a drag and drop interface, someone with little or no design skills can put together a professionally designed resume. If you’re overwhelmed by all the options, you can also just use one of many great templates.Even if you don’t have a strong design aesthetic, Canva offers a lot of great features such as font pairings and a great library of free icons.You can create a stunning resume using nothing more than the free features that Canva offers — a rarity in online resume builders.Cons:The most tedious aspect of using Canva is having to fill in your information. There no option to upload your CV or connect to your LinkedIn account; and there is also no handy interface to enter your information. It all has to be filled in the template as you edit it.While you can share your CV with potential employers with a handy URL, you can only do so if the CV is made public online. If you’re searching for a job and don’t want your current employer to know, it’s certainly not the most discreet option.VisualizeMeVisualizeMe is another interesting option for job hunters looking for a visual resume. As the name suggests, you’re creating a visualization of your experience and education. Users can either fill in their information through a handy form or better yet, can connect to LinkedIn to generate that information. VisualizeMe will then present that data in an infographic format.You have to, of course, be conscious of the kinds of jobs you’re applying to if you’re going to use a service like VisualizeMe. The final product is unorthodox and might not be well received in a more corporate or straight-laced environment.Pros:With VisualizeMe, not only is the process of filling out your information made easier by connecting the service to your LinkedIn account, you can also personalize the final product choosing from a selection of fonts, colors, themes, and backgrounds.You can also share the final product with a URL or embed it on your website. Embedding it on your website will give you the ability to track who is viewing your resume through your own analytics, but the service itself offers you its own set of analytics as well.Cons:If you want to download an image file of your VisualizeMe resume, you’ll have to sign up for a premium subscription that will set you back $19 a month or $190 a year. To be frank, it’s not worth it.The other significant disadvantage to using VisualizeMe is that the look and feel of the graphics are dated. The font and icon choices have remained the same for several years, and the service is in desperate need of an update. VisualizeMe also allows users to create only one version of their CV, limiting its utility.CV MakerCV Maker is another service which requires you to manually enter the information on your resume – your work experience, education, qualifications, interests, and references. You can add custom plain sections, and can remove the standard sections, by leaving them blank.With the free version of CV Maker, you can choose from six basic templates, but have much more to choose from with a one-time paid upgrade of $16. The premium version also allows users to send their resume with a single click. Access an advanced rich text editor and add custom special sections.Pros:CV Maker is another service with robust features in its free version. It’s one of the few options where you can download or share your resume for free, with no strings attached. You can download your resume as a PDF, HTML, or TXT file. You can also publish it online and share it with potential employers using a shortened CV Maker url.It’s also the only service listed here that offers you premium features for a one-time upgrade, rather than having to pay a monthly fee.Cons:With CV Maker, you have to manually enter information, which like with other similar services, can be tedious. There is a sameness in the free templates, and you can’t make any changes to layout, font, or any other design elements in your CV. The only thing you have control over is the order of the sections.2. Resume Writing LabDo you feel paralyzed by the fear of rejection every time you send your resume and cover letter to a recruiter?

Some services will sell you a very basic resume template for under $20. What’s the differences between these services? In general, you will encounter 3 different types of services:1. Resume MillsThese are companies who service hundreds of clients in any given month. They often have large teams of resume writers and pay them low rates. In turn, these writers are focused on quantity vs. quality. They must create “x” amount of resumes in order to make a decent wage. In addition, typically inexperienced resume writers will work for these companies. These writers often add very little strategy or branding behind your resume due to lack of experience and/or time.Some resume mills are also known to populate their websites with false testimonials and stock photos of people just for marketing purposes. Tread carefully if you feel like you’ve found a cheap resume service that’s too good to be true. It probably is and you’ll get what you pay for.2. Resume Template ServicesThis type of resume service is exactly what it sounds like (NOTE: this is not a writing service). Companies that provide a service for you to simply enter your information in return for a very basic format (usually generated by automated technology).While these services may be highly visually attractive (think infographic resume) and seem like a bargain, it’s important to be aware that these resumes may not be optimized for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS’s) in which case you’ll want to steer clear. Since more than 70% of large companies use ATS’s to screen out resumes, some templates will get automatically kicked into the trash. Only consider using these services if you are either placing your resume in the hands of the hiring manager and compliment the transaction with some old-fashioned selling. This will be the only guarantee that your resume is seen and relevant (since template services don’t typically offer custom content tailoring).3. Certified Resume WritersCertified Resume Writers (also known as CPRW or Certified Professional Resume Writer) have proven their talent and ability through one of several testing and certification services. These writers often have the skill and talent to be able to create a branding strategy and create a resume that is written to highlight and showcase your very unique career paths, skills, and accomplishments. Furthermore, a Certified Professional Resume Writer will be on top of the latest trends in resume writing as well as hiring manager insights and deeper insights around specific career levels and desirable accomplishments. They also tend to apply a hefty dose of research around industry keywords.While these services have a higher sticker price, the services are truly an investment as they make you relevant to the hiring manager and greatly increase your chances of standing out. These are our preferred resume writing services.There are 3 most popular resume writing services in the world: Resume Planet, Resume Writers Service and Pro Resume Writing Service:According to The Washington Post, The Winchester Star, and The LA Times, Resume Planet is the best online resume-writing and editing service.

A resume writer that suits your needs and gets your brand can produce everything from a higher salary to life-changing opportunities.These are our preferred resume writing services becausethey offer a 30 day interview-landing guarantee.The writers are CERTIFIED professional resume writers and the amount of collaboration and time spent truly understanding your brand before producing the final draft. This alone is a great value that will be difficult for you to find amidst all the quick rush resume services that work off of templates.If you’ve never worked with a resume writer before and are wondering how to differentiate between all the services available, here is some key advice you’ll want to consider before making the investment.Not all Resume Writers or Resume Writing Services are equalDuring your decision-making process, I’m sure you encountered many options ranging from thousands of dollars to under $100. Some services will sell you a very basic resume template for under $20. What’s the differences between these services? In general, you will encounter 3 different types of services:1. Resume MillsThese are companies who service hundreds of clients in any given month. They often have large teams of resume writers and pay them low rates. In turn, these writers are focused on quantity vs. quality. They must create “x” amount of resumes in order to make a decent wage. In addition, typically inexperienced resume writers will work for these companies. These writers often add very little strategy or branding behind your resume due to lack of experience and/or time.Some resume mills are also known to populate their websites with false testimonials and stock photos of people just for marketing purposes. Tread carefully if you feel like you’ve found a cheap resume service that’s too good to be true. It probably is and you’ll get what you pay for.2. Resume Template ServicesThis type of resume service is exactly what it sounds like (NOTE: this is not a writing service). Companies that provide a service for you to simply enter your information in return for a very basic format (usually generated by automated technology).While these services may be highly visually attractive (think infographic resume) and seem like a bargain, it’s important to be aware that these resumes may not be optimized for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS’s) in which case you’ll want to steer clear. Since more than 70% of large companies use ATS’s to screen out resumes, some templates will get automatically kicked into the trash. Only consider using these services if you are either placing your resume in the hands of the hiring manager and compliment the transaction with some old-fashioned selling. This will be the only guarantee that your resume is seen and relevant (since template services don’t typically offer custom content tailoring).3. Certified Resume WritersCertified Resume Writers (also known as CPRW or Certified Professional Resume Writer) have proven their talent and ability through one of several testing and certification services. These writers often have the skill and talent to be able to create a branding strategy and create a resume that is written to highlight and showcase your very unique career paths, skills, and accomplishments. Furthermore, a Certified Professional Resume Writer will be on top of the latest trends in resume writing as well as hiring manager insights and deeper insights around specific career levels and desirable accomplishments. They also tend to apply a hefty dose of research around industry keywords.While these services have a higher sticker price, the services are truly an investment as they make you relevant to the hiring manager and greatly increase your chances of standing out. These are our preferred resume writing services.Follow these tips while resume writing:1. URLIf you don't include URLs to your professional online profiles, hiring managers will look you up regardless. Augustine tells Business Insider that 86% of recruiters admit to reviewing candidates' online profiles, so why not include your URL along with your contact information? This will prevent recruiters from having to guess or mistaking you for someone else.2. Consistent brand name"If you have a common name, consider including your middle initial on your resume and online professional profiles to differentiate yourself from the competition,". Use chosen name consistently, be it on LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter, or Facebook.3. Single phone number and email address"Choose one phone number for your resume where you control the voicemail message and who picks up the phone," she advises. The same rule applies to an email address.4. Objective statementThere's no point in including a generic objective about a "professional looking for opportunities that will allow me to leverage my skills."5. Executive summaryReplace your fluffy statement with an executive summary, which should be like a "30-second elevator pitch" where you explain who you are and what you are expecting now. "In approximately three to five sentences, explain what you’re great at, most interested in, and how you can provide value to a prospective employer".Everyone knows that good writing skills are important, particularly when your job refers to writing (journalist, paralegal or public relations professional). If you are employed for your writing skills, having “good” writing skills is a job requirement. However, more professions require good writing skills than those traditionally associated with writing. Any time a profession requires written communication, writing skills become important. With emails, notes, letters, texts and Tweets, most people spend a fair amount of time at work communicating via the written word. Whether you are messaging a colleague, writing to your manager, or crafting the company newsletter, your writing skills can boost or hinder your career easily, even if you do not have a “writing” profession. Basically, writing skills make a difference in how you come across.The resume is your way to win an interview. If it does what the fantasy resume did, it works. If it doesn’t, it isn’t an effective resume. A resume is an advertisement, nothing more, nothing less.A great resume doesn’t just tell them what you have done but makes the same assertion that all good ads do: If you buy this product, you will get these specific, direct benefits. It presents you in the best light. It is so pleasing to the eye that the reader is enticed to pick it up and read it. It “whets the appetite,” stimulates interest in meeting you and learning more about you. It inspires the prospective employer to pick up the phone and ask you to come in for an interview.Writing is a feature that people pay attention to, because people with good writing skills are generally seen as more credible. Think to yourself how you would interpret an email from a colleague that was filled with typos and grammatical errors. At best, he was negligent in that he didn’t proofread his message or use spell check; at worst, he comes across as less intelligent and less capable. Better writers tend to get higher grades and be perceived as more competent and more intelligent than their less literary counterparts. In the workplace, you need to make sure that you proofread everything you write, from an email to a company memo. However, just because good writing skills are a plus, you still need to pick your battles. Correcting others can work against you, in some cases even undermining you. Further, context and tone are just as important as grammar. While obvious mistakes are a no-no, such as using “their” and “they’re” incorrectly, smaller errors, like confusing “who” and “whom” are less important. Also don’t forget about stylistics and punctuation.Resume/CV Writing and EditingA resume or CV offers potential employers one of the first glimpses into who you are as an employee.

Creative thought process should be given time. Try not to place express / urgent order unless necessary because again a well thought out CV serves your career aspirations the best.Even if the company does not offer any questionnaire, make sure to provide every piece of info related to your particular profession. Think like what would your potential employers would be interested in. (Eg. for sales, they would be interested in the amount of sales, percentage increase in business developed, leadership capabilities, team management, ability to proficiently use CRM as some of the so many things which would help you better portray yourself. The second example is a civil or construction engineering role. The company would be interested in knowing the $$ value of the projects you completed, details of the projects you did, any time lines you managed, hundreds or thousands of workforce you managed, the technical support you provided on construction sites). Please don’t take these examples literally. Use your own imagination.When you get your first CV / Resume draft, don’t just send it to edits right away.

If you are not satisfied at all, instead of becoming angry, just point out in a few lines what wrong went where.Hope this helps answer you question.

Best of luck in your job search. :) .Employers use resumes throughout the hiring process to learn more about applicants and whether they might be a good fit. Your resume should be easy to read, summarize your accomplishments and skills, and highlight relevant experience. Below are 10 tips to help you write a great resume.Resume writing tipsWhile there are a few commonly used resume styles, your resume should reflect your unique education, experience and relevant skills. You might consider having multiple versions of your resume tailored to the jobs you’re applying for.Here are a few key resume writing tips that will help you organize and design your resume:1. Look for keywords in the job postingsThe best place to start when preparing to write a resume is to carefully read the job postings that interest you. As you apply for different jobs, you should study each job description for keywords that show what the employer is looking for in an ideal candidate. Include those keywords in your resume where relevant.For example, if you’re applying for a job as a Medical Billing Coder, an employer might list keywords such as “coding”, “claims submission,” “compliance,” or “AR management” in the job description. Pay particular attention to anything listed in the sections labeled “Requirements” or “Qualifications.” If you have the skills that employers are looking for, you can add these same terms to your resume in the experience or skills sections.2. Review resume examples for your industryWhen crafting your resume, you might study examples of resumes from your industry for inspiration and best practices. While there are many ways you can use resume samples, there are three main takeaways you should look for:Make it simple and easy to read. Resume samples are simple and straightforward. This is because employers have a minimal amount of time to review your resume, so readability is key. This also means selecting a professional, clean font.Make it brief. You’ll notice that each section of the resume sample is short and to-the-point, including the summary and experience descriptions. Including only the most key and relevant information means employers are able to consume more information about you, and more quickly understand your fitness for the role.Include numbers. You might also notice that there are often metrics included in the experience section of resume samples. This is because employers are highly responsive to measurable proven value. Numbers allow them to better understand the value you may bring to the position. For example, one bullet point under the experience description for an administrative assistant reads, “Executed processing of vendor contracts and implemented a standardized process, reducing contract discrepancies by 90%.”When using resume samples, you should keep in mind that these are not meant to be copied exactly. While you should avoid using them as a template, samples are useful as examples of high-quality resumes in your industry and job title.3. Use a professional fontBecause employers have only a short time to review your resume, it should be as clear and as easy to read as possible. You should use a basic, clean font like Arial or Times New Roman. Keep your font size between 10 and 12 points. Selecting a clear, readable font will help make your resume appear more professional.You should also make sure reduce or eliminate any extraneous whitespace. Too much blank space might make your resume seem sparse, distracting the audience and possibly raising a red flag. By reducing extra white space, you make it easier for the resume reader to focus only on the content of your resume instead of the white spaces. You can reduce white space by increasing your font size to 12 points and possibly adding an additional, optional section like “Skills” or “Awards and Achievements.”4. Include only the most relevant information and put the most important information firstWhile you might have extensive work or educational experience, it’s important to keep your resume as brief as possible without leaving out key information. Hiring managers don’t spend a lot of time reading each resume. Research has shown that hiring managers tend to spend only 6 seconds per resume. If your resume includes old or irrelevant information, such as jobs held over 10 years ago or minor degrees and achievements, it may distract from key information.Try to include only work experience, achievements, education and skills most relevant to the employer. You can find the most relevant attributes by closely reading the job posting. You should prioritize important information higher on your resume to draw attention to key skills and achievements.5. Use active languageYour resume should be written using active language without extraneous words. This means using power words, such as “achieved”, “earned”, “completed” or “accomplished”. If your resume is too long or seems hard to read, you might consider making sentences shorter or ideas more concise.For example, you may have a job description that reads:This example could be shortened and strengthened in the following way:The revised version communicates the same ideas about your accomplishments while reducing the number of words and including more active language.6. Call attention to important achievementsInstead of listing your job duties under the experience section, select your top three or four most important achievements in each role you’ve held. Where possible, include numbers that measure your success for that particular goal or achievement.You might also consider including a separate “Achievements” or “Skills” section to specifically highlight relevant achievements in your education, career, volunteer work or other experiences.7. Only include subheadings and sections you needWhether you’re using a resume template or creating your own, you may find there are some recommended sections you do not need.For example, you may need a resume summary or a resume objective, but you should not include both. If you are just graduating from college or high school and have not yet held a professional position, do not include an empty work history section. Instead, you might replace the experience section with relevant coursework, academic achievements and other experiences like internships or extracurricular projects.8. Choose appropriate marginsTypically you should use a one-inch margin size on all sides of your resume with single spaces between the lines. If you have too much white space, you might consider making your lines spaced by 1.15 or 1.5. You can also increase your margins if you find it is difficult to fill your resume, but they should stay below two inches.9. Proofread and editBefore sending your resume, you should undergo several rounds of proofreading to ensure there are no spelling or grammar errors. While there are several proofreading programs and tools you can use, it is also helpful to ask trusted friends or colleagues to review your resume. It is helpful for an objective third party to look at your resume as an employer might to find ways you can correct or improve it.10. Decide whether you need a unique resume for different jobsBefore submitting any application, you should ask yourself, “Have I made it as easy as possible for this employer to see that I’m qualified?”. If you’re applying for a job that has unique requirements, you may need another version of your resume to fully demonstrate your qualifications. Decide on a case by case basis which resume to use.Your resume is often the first step to getting an interview with an employer. Make sure you include the most relevant information on your resume, organize it to highlight the most important information and carefully review for errors. Once your resume is polished and finalized, it should help you get more callbacks, interviews, and job offers.

Otherwise, you are eligible to get a full refund without delay. You can get a full refund if:they cannot find a writer for your assignment;they are late with the paper (doesn't work for revisions);there was a payment mistake like double payment;if you get a plagiarized paper (this one option is in Terms of Use).You can also get a 70% refund if you want to cancel the order and less than a half of the deadline passed. This doesn't work if the paper was delivered to you. All other cases will give you the opportunity to get a 50% refund only.The exception will be an approved order. Note that a refund cannot be an option for an approved order. So, is PaperGoodHelp scam? No, they aren't based on their guarantees, customer feedback, and the way they treat each client of theirs.5.Types of ServicesPaperHelp provides their clients with these kinds of services:Information writing assignment‘Extended’ assignmentCase studyReviewTechnical reportLab reportBook reportCritical analysis/critiqueBibliographyAnnotated bibliographyLiterature reviewTerm paperResearch paperPosition/opinion paperEssaySubject outlineStatistical summarySenior thesisGrant writingE-mailWeb writingOral presentation of a written reportPowerPoint presentationHistorical researchMidterm/final exam essayResume & other ‘business’ writingExperiential Learning-related project/assignmentService Learning-related project/assignmentIndependent study/Lifelong learning-related activity6.Ordering ProcessNow I am going to show you how to get started with PaperHelp Company service.

MyGoodAdmissionsEssay is a cheap application writing service that may help you with your resume, CV or any application. They are a standard academic writing service who narrowed their work to admission writings. At this point, they are quick, cheap and efficient but don't have much experience in this field. Basically, MyAdmissionEssays still have the regular essays, research papers options in their order form so some people prefer to use them as a standard academic advisor. Without experienced editors, their quality is average and reviews are mediocre. The support agents are quick and helpful. To get more detailed MyAdmissionEssay review see the full report of our investigation below.1.Service ReviewThis site is owned by a corporation Search Novations Inc., which is a huge company with plenty of academic writing services. They have the same writer database and same editors as PaperHelp and EssayTigers. Basically, there are a great many more services that they operate, but those are the most popular.The company based somewhere in Cyprus and somehow partially in the Marshall Islands. Still, you will never find another mention of their real location on the web.Overall, the quality of their papers is good in spite of some negative reviews.2.Pros and ConsPROS:Urgent deadlines are availableQuick support repliesLow pricesCONS:Average qualityHidden locationRather academic than an application service3.Online reputationMyadmissionessay reviews are not okay. There are plenty of them, and usually, they are mediocre.

Even if the paper is plagiarized, do you believe that they will send you such a report?5. My experience with 1Essay was a fairly pleasant one. While I was a student, I had to use a couple of services, and this one was my favorite. The service has a good reputation and strong guarantees that they are following to. They seem to be capable of doing complex academic assignments. The prices are acceptable and affordable. Support agents were prompt and efficient with their responses. I was born and raised in the US, so my opinion is based on my understanding of English as a primary language, not as a second or class taught language. I received my papers in the amount of time I had requested, there were several revisions, and sometimes I asked for a new writer. But these were very complicated research papers, and considering I did not have a clue how to begin, I feel the final papers were very good. Is speedy paper safe? Yes, I would say that.1.Service Review1Essay is an academic custom writing service that offers different academic assignments for students and application papers for job-seekers. The company has samples at 1Essay which seem trustworthy to me. The clients of this service usually are high schoolers, undergraduate and master students. They also have options for Ph.D. students and holders for their articles and dissertations. The support agent whom I was talking to was named Nancy, and she seemed to be a native speaker of English. Speedy paper reviews are wonderful despite the low prices.2.Pros and ConsPROS:They DO NOT appear to be a SCAM company.Contact with support was easy.Support responded in a very timely manner.1st writer`s response was a little slow (best available), but the 2nd writers understanding of the instructions was much better (PRO writer).As with any writing service, you must pay in advance.If you place an order with the deadline of 14 days, they usually send the paper within 5-7 days so that you can read the preview and send it for revision.CONS:1st writer`s understanding of the instructions was less than expected.ALWAYS ask for a draft, it will cost extra, but it will give you an idea of how competent the writer that has been assigned to you is.Be aware, English writer does not necessarily mean they are American or even in the US. They can write in English, but the sentence structure is often just off enough that you have to redo several of the lines (this actually seems to be standard with all writing services). The first writer used British English which was very strange because it is a US-based company.3.Online reputationThe reputation of 1Essay Company is almost unsullied. Their Facebook page has more than 3,000 followers, which is unbelievable for academic writing service. The reason for it is SpeedyPaper promo actions that are always there.They appeared to be a legit paper writing service as they have a real address in their Trustpilot profile, which happens to be in Wilmington, Delaware. You can see it at speedy paper reviews page on Trustpilot.The speedy paper reddit channel doesn't exist yet. Also, there is no single thread devoted to discussion of 1Essay services, so speedy paper reddit reviews were of no help. I've found a couple of 1Essay reviews on YouTube. Guys seem to be thankful to this company for their services.4.GuaranteesThese guys do have their money-back guarantee that is not hidden. You may go to 1essay. org/moneyback-guarantee to check it. Hopefully, I did not have to ask for my money back, but support agents told me that it is not an issue. I can also add that they promise 100% original texts and on-time delivery, and if they provide a plagiarized paper or send it after the deadline, you can get a full refund.5.Types of ServicesActually, they can handle any assignment possible, including case study, coursework, editing, homework, thesis proposal, personal statement, lab report, dissertation chapters, essays, etc.6.Ordering ProcessBasically, you place an order at 1Essay and fill in the form with all details about your paper.After submitting the payment details, their Writer Department starts searching for a writer to work on your paper. After the paper is done, you will receive an email notification to log in to your personal account and check the preview. After approving the paper, you will get an editable word. doc version of your paper. If you need a revision, you can type a message to support agents in the messages section or click the revision button.7. Prices and FeesThe cheapest paper will be a one-page high school level within 14 days. The prices start at $9 per page. More details you can see at 1Essay. As you can see, the speedy paper prices are affordable. So, if you need to buy cheap essay online, this is a good start. More 1Essay coupons and promo codes you can get on this page by clicking a Discount button.8.Paper QualityI used this service a couple of times and always got a fine quality for all of my papers. They have plenty of writers to work on your papers. My papers had been written in accordance with my Master level rubric, and the friend of mine, who is a professor, accepted it from the first shot. Needless to say, it was a great experience. I can say that the 1Essay reviews are truly deserved. Their team of writers surely has proficient experts of Ph.D. and Master's levels.9.Customer SupportIt was my pleasure to know that they are available 24/7. They were extremely helpful every time I had to ask something. The responses were quick, so I did not have to wait. Some part of their team is located in Ukraine, but it is not a big issue as every modern company now has outsource branches.10.Offers and Extra ServicesThe following extra features are available: PRO, TOP writers updates, progressive delivery, plagiarism report. Support agents told me that they have three categories of writers.The best available one is a standard option. PRO is more experienced than Best available one and at least with a Master degree. The TOP is one of 10 best writers in their company, some of them are Ph.D. writers.Plagiarism report is an official report that shows the percentage of similarity in the paper. Progressive delivery means that the writer will send you drafts throughout the process. I would like to add that progressive delivery saved helped me to check the writer's progress and help him to stay on the right track.6.7. Little known service which I discovered accidentally. Nice support and fair quality are what make stand this service out of that huge number of scammers out there.1.Service ReviewI’ve discovered SuperbPaper relatively recently when my friend asked my opinion on it and was surprised to find out that I’d never heard about it. Scientific curiosity got over me and I decided to write this SuperPapers review. SuperPapers positions themselves as a relatively smaller company than main players in the niche and prefers quality over quantity.2.Pros and ConsPROS:User-friendly websiteWide range of servicesTechnical writingThey are 100% not scammersCONS:There was no live chat option at the moment this article was being writtenNo profiles in social media3.Online reputationBefore reading reviews on Google, I decided to see what people say about SuperPapers on reddit but, unfortunately, the subreddit was empty. Then I searched on Google whether SuperPapers legit or scam. I found many reviews on fake review sites whose the only objective was to promote services of theirs. I read their reviews but they were all the same like “scams” or “stay away.” I have already written a checklist on how to tell apart real reviews from fake ones. After that, I turned to my proved method of going on Trustpilot and seeing what the word goes there about SuperPapers. All in all, they have a good reputation which is supported by many positive reviews.I’ve also found a couple of negative reviews which seem to be real. In this case, a company representative contacts the customer trying to resolve the situation.I think this is a good practice that the company tries to resolve the conflict openly, unlike many services which blackmail or bribe clients to delete their reviews. This proves that by doing so, the SuperPapers is obviously not a scam. Sitejabber shows that SuperPapers is quite a good service too.I decided to go the extra mile and searched for SuperPapers video reviews and found some on YouTube. So, if you have time you can watch it, according to video reviews, the clients are quite happy with the services the company offers.4.GuaranteesGuarantees are that in case they cannot find a suitable writer to work on your paper, 100% refund will be issued. If you don’t like the paper and want another writer to do the revision but a company is unable to provide you with such, you’re entitled to 15-50% refund, the certain amount will be defined by their manager depending on circumstances. If they deliver the paper after the deadline, you can expect a 15% compensation. If you don’t like the quality or provided poor instructions, the manager will decide what amount of money should be refunded to the customer. Before placing an order I do advise to get familiarized with their policies and guarantees more carefully.5.Types of ServicesEssay (any type)Admission essayAnnotated bibliographyArticle reviewBiographyBook/movie reviewBusiness planCase studyCourseworkCritical thinkingEditingFormattingMultiple choice questionsOtherParaphrasingPresentation or speechProblem solvingProofreadingResearch paperResearch proposalTerm paper6.Ordering ProcessIf you have ever ordered the paper on any custom writing site, this one is pretty much the same. First, you fill out paper details:Then the precise is calculated:In the last step, you have to provide personal details and proceed to the checkout.7. Prices and FeesPrices are affordable if you order the paper well in advance. The minimum price is $10 per page for High School level with a 14-day deadline. The same paper will cost you $34 per page if you need it in 8 hours. SuperPapers discount is 5% for new customers, so if you want to get it, you have to use special SuperPapers promo code “NEWCUSTOMER”8.Paper QualityI ordered a 5-page paper on Marketing. I chose a best available writer, undergraduate level and maximum deadline plus I added plag report to my order. This all cost me $80. The paper was delivered right on time. The were no formatting mistakes which was a good sign (90% of the paper I ordered had formatting mistakes). The grammar and vocabulary were simple but without mistakes as well. The writer used recent peer-reviewed articles and I saw that he actually read them, not just placed sources randomly as many writers like to do. The only drawback was a depth of discussion but if you’re looking for a kickstarter for your paper and can touch up it by yourself, this is a great option. I think the paper was worth its money.9.Customer SupportI don’t like calling and inquiring about the details but since they don’t have a live chat I was forced to. When the support picked up the phone the first thing I asked was “why don’t you have a live chat?” and the support agent explained that they used to, but had problems with it so now they are working on a better option. The support appeared to be nice and professional. They assisted me all the way down to the checkout.10.Offers and Extra ServicesThe paid options that they offer include “Plagiarism report” for $9.99, “Abstract page” costs $14.99 and if you want to be treated with special attention you can grab a “VIP Support” feature for $14.99.7.

See the full essay pro review below.1. Service ReviewEssayPro is a paper writing company and seasoned veteran in the essay niche. They claim that they have been working since 1997. Certainly, it is a very big advantage, but is it true? In this essaypro review, we are going to find out it togetherAs you might suspect, it’s not so. There was no such site as EssayProHelp till 2003. Why did they say so remains unclear to me. Maybe they want to seem more reliable and trustworthy. But in the end what’s more important: the years of their operation or the quality of the services offered? I am sure many of you will agree with me that we as customers value quality, not the number of years the company has been in operation.The full review is below. Keep on reading and discover more interesting facts if essay pro legit is or scam.2.Pros and ConsPROS:Fair qualityShort deadlines availableYou can assign a writer yourselfDirect communication with the writerCheap pricesCONS:Inattentiveness to some detailsFake foundation date3.Online reputationTo discover whether essay pro is a reliable company or not I went online. The EssayPro has a good online rating. Reviews about them on sites like TrustPilot and SiteJabber are overly positive but, of course, not spotless.The essay pro reviews on SiteJabber are pretty much the same:As for dissatisfied customers, the main complaints included missed deadlines and not following instructions. I noticed that no matter how good the company is, there will always be someone who is dissatisfied. Unfortunately, I did not find any essay pro reddit channel or even a page. Perhaps, you will be the one who will create it. Basing on what I managed to find about this paper writing company, I think essay pro is safe and you can try their services.4.GuaranteesEssayPro Money Back Guarantee policy is no different than other companies’ policies. You’re entitled to essay pro refund in the following cases:No writer has been assigned.The writer has been confirmed, but the client canceled the order.Late delivery.Two payments were made.Please note the bad quality claims are discussed with the manager individually and based on that conversation/investigation the amount of the refund is determined. You can prove that EssayProHelp plagiarised your paper, they promise to provide a 100% refund.5.Types of ServicesThe types of services the company offers are wide and listed below.Custom Essay (any type)Business PlanLiterature ReviewResearch PaperAdmission EssayCase StudyMultiple Choice QuestionsResearch ProposalAnnotated BibliographyCourseworkPresentation or SpeechTerm PaperArticle ReviewCreative WritingReflective WritingThesis / DissertationBook / Movie ReviewCritical Thinking / ReviewReportEditing and proofreading6.Ordering ProcessTo get an order at EssayProHelp, you have to sign up with them. After that, you will see the order form where you have to put all the details of your assignment.After this action you will have a screen like this:The writers will send you their applications, and you can assign one of them in Assign a Writer tab. Be careful as some writer will be inadequate. This one deserves to be shown in my essaypro review.If you finally find the right writer you have to click accept the bid and Ok in a new window:Then it will forward you to your balance page where you have to put some money in your account first. Then you will be able to put your order in progress and assign the writer.Then you will see the order summary to confirm your order. If you add more details after this step, they will be considered as new information that was not included in the initial order. Of course, it will require more money. The next step will be the payment, and after its done, you will get a confirmation that the orders placed. You always can ask support agents to help you in this matter; they are very supportive.7. Prices and FeesThe EssayPro prices are low and you can get a lot of orders with them. They also have a lot of coupons and promo codes for their new customers. In particular, you can get up to 25% percent with them. They worked out a special discount program where based on how many orders you placed with them, the percent of discount will be recalculated.8.Paper QualityQuality of Essay Pro writing service is quite good. I ordered a 3-page essay with a 2-week deadline. With a discount applied, it cost me less than $30. I ordered some philosophy paper and I have to acknowledge that the writer did his best and come up with a decent paper. There was a deep discussion of the arguments and proper sources used. I heard many times that not EssayPro writers are native speakers, but I think even if they have ESL writers, they do a great job. Nothing to complain about.9.Customer SupportThere were some claims that EssayPro has slow support agents. So I decided to prove or debunk that myth. I wrote to them and got an answer like in a minute. At first, I thought they were automated answers but as I kept asking questions I saw the support was a human. They provided quick answers and straight to the point. I don't know who spreads such fake facts about this company, perhaps, EssayPro competitors. I advise not to believe every fake out there and test it yourself.10.Offers and Extra ServicesUnfortunately, EssayPro doesn’t offer any extra services that can be interesting or useful for students. Maybe, in the future, they’ll come up with something interesting.8. EssayFactory UKHaving 2 weeks left for my thesis to be done I understood that I needed professional help.

There has always been a pool of learners that have just had too many things to do, so it is no surprise that these students feel the burden for them to write the best quality essays in such a limited time.

When a college student is trying to juggle fifteen college papers with a part-time job to support the whole experience, it’s no surprise that many will say “I hate writing essays”.Of course, students know their university success is dependent on the academic output; however, it is usually not an ideal world. For a number of different reasons, students may not have the capability of writing every part of each essay on their own. Fortunately, study aids are at hand. Many essay writer websites have popped up over the years in order to provide a helping hand to students all over the world. A lot of these sites have received a positive ranking by students, so you know that learners are using them. If you’re in doubt, you can utilize one of the essay writing services too.Preparing a good college project always requires a lot from an average student. It takes all your efforts and diligence and makes you stay focused from the first to the very last word. On the way to an A-grade assignment, your task is to deal with a range of nuances that are to be counted:Formulate a relevant topicDevote your time to a researchPrepare reasonable grounds for the assignmentMake up an outline and follow it step by stepBe aware of the major requirements and standardsApply analytical and critical thinking skillsMeet the deadlinesThus, every college project is a challenge a student has to accept and deal with thoroughly. To do so, you'd better keep in mind a particular stage that shouldn't be omitted, and that is editing and proofreading.Many students neglect to proofread. That is understandable - when the last full stop is put, your fondest wish is to get that several-days-of-nightmare assignment right off your shoulders and successfully forget about it. You don't want to waste several more hours to check whether the writing is perfect, and all the trifles like spaces or commas don't really matter. Here, the mistake lies.In this article, we would like to explain why we need to revise our assignments and emphasize the issue of how the proofreading helps us come up with a perfect project and get the best grade.Why Proofread Your Paper?Proofreading is a profound process during which you can look at your writing with a fresh eye. Here, you have to pay attention to the following aspects of your paper.Format and styleGrammatical appropriatenessProper language and punctuationTypographical particularitiesBut, don't mistake it for an editing stage! When you edit, your task is to ensure logic and coherence for your writing, add smooth transitions for each paragraph, fix misspelled words, and - the most importantly - meet the purpose of the paper. This way, after the editing, you have to get a well-expressed text with clearly described and reasonable ideas in it.As for proofreading, it consists of the final touches aimed to refine your assignment. That is like a general cleaning that you have while waiting for important visitors to come. Your apartment can shine with cleanliness, but you won't rest until the last speck of dust is wiped out. In a case with writings, at this stage, you have to perceive the text as a whole. Consider its layout and think about how to improve it, if necessary. For that, you need to read the paper attentively word by word, assess it honestly, and ensure that your assignment doesn't contain any unnoticed errors.Pitfalls to Be Aware OfIn this section, we would like to turn your attention to the most common mistakes a student should fix while proofreading.Consistency.Grammar.Stylistics.Modality.Attention.There are more than these mistakes and proofreading aspects, but we hope it will help the editor (you) catch the primary purpose of the task at this stage.Tips That Should Be RememberedThere are two ways of proofreading: you can check your own writing or be asked to deal with someone else's one. Both options have their own challenges and particularities. This way, while proofreading something written by yourself, you know the context and are aware of the main ideas. But here is a problem - it can be rather tricky to recognize your own mistakes.In a case with working on somebody's paper, everything is the other way round. You can easily spot the errors and rewrite a certain sentence for it to sound better, but you can affect the context badly since the lack of knowledge about the author's primary intentions. But, that is not a big deal because you can find a "partner in proofreading" who will help you notice tricky errors or provide you with a reasonable evaluation for your writing.If you're going to proofread your own paper, look through our recommendations and a simple step-by-step strategy that we have prepared for you to refine the writing easily.Firstly, don't embark on proofreading as soon as the last word has been written. Give yourself some time to distract from the text - thus, you will clear your thoughts and take a break. It can be one hour or even a whole day (if it is possible considering the deadlines). Then, take these three steps.Read the entire text without hurry. Does a central idea make sense to you as a reader?

Brainstorming <= you are here2. Selecting an essay topic3. Writing the essayStep One: BrainstormingTo begin brainstorming a subject idea consider the following points. From brainstorming, you may find a subject you had not considered at first.1. What are your major accomplishments, and why do you consider them accomplishments? Do not limit yourself to accomplishments you have been formally recognized for since the most interesting essays often are based on accomplishments that may have been trite at the time but become crucial when placed in the context of your life.2. Does any attribute, quality, or skill distinguish you from everyone else? How did you develop this attribute?3. Consider your favorite books, movies, works of art, etc. Have these influenced your life in a meaningful way? Why are they your favorites?4. What was the most difficult time in your life, and why? How did your perspective on life change as a result of the difficulty?5. Have you ever struggled mightily for something and succeeded? What made you successful?6. Have you ever struggled mightily for something and failed? How did you respond?7. Of everything in the world, what would you most like to be doing right now? Where would you most like to be? Who, of everyone living and dead, would you most like to be with? These questions should help you realize what you love most.8. Have you experienced a moment of epiphany, as if your eyes were opened to something you were previously blind to?9. What is your strongest, most unwavering personality trait? Do you maintain strong beliefs or adhere to a philosophy? How would your friends characterize you? What would they write about if they were writing your admissions essay for you?10. What have you done outside of the classroom that demonstrates qualities sought after by universities? Of these, which means the most to you?11. What are your most important extracurricular or community activities? What made you join these activities? What made you continue to contribute to them?12. What are your dreams of the future? When you look back on your life in thirty years, what would it take for you to consider your life successful? What people, things, and accomplishments do you need? How does this particular university fit into your plans for the future?If these questions cannot cure your writer's block, consider the following exercises:1. Ask for Help from Parents, Friends, Colleagues, etc.If you cannot characterize yourself and your personality traits do not automatically leap to mind, ask your friends to write a list of your five most salient personality traits. Ask your friends why they chose the ones they did. If an image of your personality begins to emerge, consider life experiences that could illustrate the particular traits.2. Consider your ChildhoodWhile admissions officers are not interested in reading about your childhood and are more interested in the last 2-4 years of your life, you might consider events of your childhood that inspired the interests you have today. Interests that began in childhood may be the most defining parts of your life, even if you recently lost interest. For instance, if you were interested in math since an early age and now want to study medicine, you might incorporate this into your medical school admissions essay. Analyze the reasons for your interests and how they were shaped from your upbringing.3. Consider your Role ModelsMany applicants do not have role models and were never greatly influenced by just one or two people. However, for those of you who have role models and actually aspire to become like certain people, you may want to incorporate a discussion of that person and the traits you admired into your application essay.4. Goal DeterminationLife is short. Why do you want spend 2-6 years of your life at a particular college, graduate school, or professional school? How is the degree necessary to the fulfillment of your goals? When considering goals, think broadly. Few people would be satisfied with just a career. How else will your education fit your needs and lead you to a fulfilling life?If after reading this entire page you do not have an idea for your essay, do not be surprised. Coming up with an idea is difficult and requires time. Actually consider the questions and exercises above. Without a topic you feel passionate about, without one that brings out the defining aspects of you personality, you risk falling into the trap of sounding like the 90 percent of applicants who will write boring admissions essays. The only way to write a unique essay is to have experiences that support whatever topic you come up with. Whatever you do, don't let the essay stress you out. Have fun with the brainstorming process. You might discover something about yourself you never consciously realized.At one point or other, the academic essay manages to intimidate most student writers. Sometimes, we may even experience what is commonly called writer's block—that awful experience of staring at an assignment, reading it over and over, yet being unable to proceed, to find a way into it. But the process of writing the academic essay involves a series of manageable steps. Keeping this in mind can help you work through the anxiety you may at first feel. If you find yourself "clueless" about beginning an essay, it may be because you have skipped an important step. You may be trying to come up with a thesis before finding and narrowing your topic.Entering the ConversationTry to approach the writing of an academic essay as a genuine opportunity to connect with the material, to think in a concentrated and stimulating way about the texts you've chosen, to articulate your own ideas. In short, think of the essay as a chance to challenge yourself and to contribute to the on-going conversation among scholars about the subject under discussion. What's at stake is your own intellectual development.Writing is not playing someone else's game. Successful writing involves the creation and framing of your own questions about the sources you've chosen. You want to attend to the assignment at the same time that you locate and articulate your own, particular interest in it.Primary and Secondary SourcesIf you were a lawyer and had to present a case for your client, the worst thing you could do would be to face a jury and spout out random beliefs and opinions. ("Trust me. This guy's really honorable. He'd never do what he's accused of.") Instead, you would want to look for evidence and clues about the situation, investigate suspects, maybe head for the library to check out books on investment fraud or lock-picking. Whatever the circumstance, you would need to do the appropriate research in order to avoid looking foolish in the courtroom. Even if you knew what you had to argue—that your client was not guilty—you still would need to figure out how you were going to persuade the jury of it. You would need various sources to bolster your case. Writing an academic essay is similar, because essays are arguments that make use of primary and secondary sources.Primary academic sources are sources that have not yet been analyzed by someone else. These include but are not limited to novels, poems, autobiographies, transcripts of court cases, and data sources such as the census, diaries, and Congressional records.Books or essays that analyze another text are secondary sources. They are useful in supporting your argument and bringing up counterarguments which, in an academic essay, it is your responsibility to acknowledge and refute.These are the basic rules that determine whether a source is primary or secondary, but there is some ambiguity. For instance, an essay that advances an original argument may serve as your primary source if what you're doing is analyzing that essays argument. But if the essay cites statistics that you decide to quote in support of your argument about a different text, then its function is as a secondary source. Therefore, always keep in mind that the academic essay advances an original argument—your argument, not the argument of the author of your secondary source. While secondary sources are helpful, you should focus your essay on one or more primary sources.Subjects to TopicsIn the courtroom, the topic is never a huge abstraction like "jurisprudence" or "the legal system" or even "capital punishment" or "guilt and innocence." All of those are subjects. A topic is particular: The Case of So-and-So v. So-and-So. Academic arguments, too, have topics. But if you tried to write an essay using "The Case of So-and-So v. So-and-So" as a topic, you wouldn't know what to put in and what to leave out. You'd wind up reproducing the court's own record of the case.Narrowing the TopicThe topic of an academic essay must be sufficiently focused and specific in order for a coherent argument to be made about it. For instance, "The Role of Such-and-Such in the Case of So-and-So v. So-and-So" is a topic that is somewhat narrowed. But if "Such-and-Such" is extremely general, it too will require further narrowing. "The Role of Societal Pressures in the Case of Jones v. Smith" is an example—it's too general. "Alleged Jury Tampering in the Case of Jones v. Smith" narrows those societal pressures, and begins to suggest a persuasive argument. (Of course, even this topic could be further narrowed.)Going through the following steps will help you focus your subject, find a topic, and narrow it.Carefully read your primary source(s) and then, with the assignment in mind, go through them again, searching for passages that relate directly to the assignment and to your own curiosities and interests. When you find a passage that interests you, write down the reason for its significance. If you don't, you might forget its importance later.Annotate some of the most intriguing passages—write down your ideas, opinions and notes about particular words, phrases, sentences. Don't censor your thoughts! Just write, even if you think that what you're writing doesn't add up to much. For now, get your impressions on paper; later, you'll begin to order and unify them.Group passages and ideas into categories. Try to eliminate ideas that don't fit anywhere. Ask yourself if any of the emerging categories relate to any others. Do any of the categories connect, contradict, echo, prove, disprove, any others? The category with the most connections to others is probably your topic.Look at some relevant secondary sources—at what other scholars have said—in order to get a sense of potential counterarguments to your developing topic. Remember: While taking notes, make sure to cite all information fully. This is a lot easier than having to go back later and figure out where you got a particular quote, or, worse, being unable to find it.
