What is It

You are about to unfold how the concept papers from various disciplines are
designed. So, get ready to learn the characteristics and kinds of concept papers. Here
we go!

Characteristics of Concept Papers


Concept paper writing is more of writing with a specific purpose. It is a kind of
writing that captures the interest of the funding agency and demonstrate
that the idea they are proposing is worthy of further consideration.
This time, the writing of concept paper is distinctive with various disciplines.
Each concept paper in the discipline has the following characteristics:
 Concept paper in the humanities is crafting texts, such as novels, short stories,
and poems that fall outside the bounds of professional, journalistic, academic, and
technical discourse.
 Concept paper in the sciences focuses on informing the reader of new discoveries
and assisting readers in discovering truth through facts and solid data given in
detail.
 Concept paper in the social sciences usually seeks to analyze, interpret, argue,
and/or explain and express thoughts, reactions, ideas, and emotions.
 Concept paper in business often means explaining a situation, event, or change in
order to compel the reader toward a very specific action.

Writing concept paper in various discipline can be divided generally into three
main categories or genres: writing in the humanities, writing in the sciences, and
writing in business. Each genre has its own specific requirements in terms of style,
content, and format.

lOMoARcPSD|19604087

a. Writing in the Humanities


It explores questions that deal with human values. The ultimate goal in writing
in the humanities is to explain or understand the human experience—to use writing
as a tool to reflect upon life. The topic includes: not only literature, but also
philosophy, ethics, performing arts, fine arts, history, aspects of anthropology and
cultural studies, foreign languages, and linguistics. In a humanities, concepts
derived from a performance or play, a painting, a film, or even a musical work.
b. Writing in the Sciences
Science writing includes writing in two main categories: natural sciences and
social sciences. In each genre, the concept focuses on new discoveries and
discovering truth through facts and firm, detailed data.
Natural Sciences include physical sciences such as biology, chemistry,
engineering, geology, physics, and so forth. This concept is generally focus on topics
which are concise and includes genres such as lab reports and reviews of scientific
literature.
The social sciences, on the other hand, focus topics on human behavior and
societies. Categories of social science include psychology, anthropology, political
science, sociology, education, and economics.
c. Writing in Business
Business concepts often focus on topics that have to do with explaining a
situation, event, or change in order to compel the reader toward a very specific action.
Format is key to a well-written business document, since its structure should allow
the reader to quickly find particular sections and a contact person who can answer
further questions.

Kinds of Concept Papers


Various disciplines need a concept paper: a short summary that tells the reader
what the project is, why it is important, and how it will be carried out. Even if no one
else ever reads it, the concept paper helps a spot holes in her or his project that
might later prove fatal. It is far better to be clear at the beginning than to put in a lot
of effort for nothing!

Let us study the following kinds of concept papers:

Art
A concept paper in the field of arts fosters creativity in young people and helps
to build a vibrant community in which adolescents are active producers as well as
consumers of the arts. By fostering craftsmanship and the skills of high performance
workplaces, school-to-work contributes to the economic stability and productivity of
the community and sets young people on a path towards high-skill employment.

Service learning fosters conscience, providing opportunities for active civic


membership by giving young people ways to make contributions to their community.
It is tempting to focus on what is special about each of these fields. After all, each
appeals to a somewhat different constituency and, survives, at least in part, by
making a case for its unique contribution. Yet many of the best initiatives in each of

10

lOMoARcPSD|19604087

these fields incorporate aspects of the others. It is not unusual for arts service
learning programs to focus on the very competencies, such as teamwork and problem
solving skills that employers have identified as most important in the workplace; by
the same token, some school-to-career initiatives emphasize the importance of
making a contribution to one's community, as well as being productive on the job.
Example of Topics/Titles: The Great Wall of China and its construction,
Women and politics in Ancient Rome., Female representation in Ancient Art, Art and
architecture in Ancient Times, The story behind the art and architecture of Ancient
Rome, Describe the Ancient Greek literature and theatre.

Business
A business concept paper briefly summarizes the business or organization
you'd like to develop. Not quite as complex as a business plan, a business concept
paper is often requested by local chambers of commerce, potential investors, and
college professors who assign them to their students. Develop a purpose or mission
statement before writing a business concept paper to correctly assess issues or holes
in the market that your company will address.
For entrepreneurs, it is often easier to come up with a variety of ideas for new
businesses and more difficult to actually implement those concepts. A business
concept is a bridge between an idea and a business plan. It focuses one’s thinking
so that the entrepreneur can identify the specifics of his/her proposed venture.
Converting an idea into a business concept requires thinking about how the product
or service will be sold and who will buy it, the benefits of the product or service, how
it is differentiated from similar ones, and methods of delivery.
Preparing a written concept statement helps unearth critical components of a
venture and begins research into key factors that may be more thoroughly addressed
in a business plan. As the business idea takes form as a concept statement, the
entrepreneur can evaluate the business more effectively for potential challenges and
pitfalls. Thus, a clear business concept also enables the founder to succinctly
describe the precise nature of the business to suppliers, customers, lenders, and
resource team members; an important skill for entrepreneurial success. Once the
business concept statement is clearly defined, the more detailed work of business
planning and implementation may begin (Kauffman Foundation, 2014).
Example of Topics/Titles: The Effect of Advertisement on Consume Behavior
Impact of Wages on Employee Productivity, Strategic Management and Productivity,
Staff Motivation and Impact on Productivity, Management and Measuring of
Employee Retention.

Law
The concept paper in law includes the legal empowerment programs often
employ community-level interventions such as paralegals that work closer to their
communities using a wider set of tools than lawyers. It provides an effective
profession for enhancing legal empowerment. These are the proximity to local,
disadvantaged populations – particularly women and children - places them in an
ideal situation to increase legal literacy and help the poor access public services and
defend their rights. In terms of human rights modules, it included the social support

11

lOMoARcPSD|19604087

provider training and place them in legal aid offices to work directly with lawyers and
paralegals. It integrates the legal and social support services.
The growing importance of the law in social work practice and decision making
is reflected in the training requirements for professionals working in the field such
as the social work. Many users of social services are vulnerable and disadvantaged
in some way, and often they have not been treated as equals because of poverty,
assumptions about gender, age or disability. Working in partnership is essential if
service users are to feel that they are participating in decision-making at every level.
Example of Topics/Titles: Based on a sound framework, valid and reliable;
- Feasible and linked to data sources; Focused on the interests and justice needs of
the people living in the city and businesses; Neutral and administered by unbiased
stakeholders; Establish benchmarks in key areas; Actionable, ensuring that follow-
up policies and actions are feasible; Deliver succinct feedback to policy makers; and
Contribution to improve implementation of the basic values of the following local
rules of law, justice and fundamental rights.

Philosophy

Philosophy concepts paper topics offer the opportunity for students to find the
perfect topic. Writing a philosophy paper is quite different from other types of papers.
In a philosophy paper, it provides an explanation of a philosophical concept and then
either support or refute that concept. This means that to fully understand the
concepts, it needed some readings about concepts. While writing a philosophy paper
may be challenging, it is possible with some careful planning and hard work. The
concepts are ranging from conscience, human rights, life after death, justice and
many more. This only requires a skillful argument and rational thought, which takes
time to develop.
Example of Topics/Titles: Contemporary architecture: bane of our existence
or a wonder to behold, the concept of the American Dream be archived in a history
museum, Instilling a code of conduct within a population, Justification of rape cases,
Cats superior intellectually to dogs, House and home: its difference, Is big really
beautiful or even interesting, Should individuals be able to claim a stake in the
moon/sun/planets, Do girls suffer more than boys when it comes to fashion, and
Does free love have a price tag Or is it really free?

Politics
The concepts on politics usually includes the most basic level which is the
struggle of “who gets what, when, how.” This struggle may be as modest as competing
interest groups fighting over control of a small municipal budget or as overwhelming
as a military stand-off between international superpowers. The diverse structure of
political science reflects the diverse kinds of problems which the discipline attempts
to analyze and explain. Although political scientists are prone to debate and
disagreement; the majority viewed the discipline as a genuine science.
As a result, political scientists generally strive to emulate the objectivity as
well as the conceptual and methodological rigor typically associated with the so-
called “hard” sciences (e.g., biology, chemistry, and physics). Since political scientists
construct and assess theories in accordance with the principles of the scientific

12

Downloaded by Jade ivan parrocha (parrochajadeivan@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|19604087

method, writing in the field conveys the rigor, objectivity, and logical consistency that
characterize this method. Thus political scientists avoid the use of impressionistic or
metaphorical language, or language which appeals primarily to our senses, emotions,
or moral beliefs.
In other words, rather than persuade you with the elegance of their prose or
the moral virtue of their beliefs, political scientists persuade through their command
of the facts and their ability to relate those facts to theories that can withstand the
test of empirical investigation(Cuba, 2002).
Example of Topics/Titles: The history of politics: when and how it was
created and how it evolved, The politics and war history: is every war a political
decision, Political science overview: Basics and methodology, Political Psychology,
The influence of cultural norm on politics, The political decisions that changed the
history, Populism: its work, Totalitarian regimes: similarities and differences, Divided
governments: examples and principles of work, The code of honor and loyalty oaths,
The concept of open society and politics and Corruptions in politics and the ways to
eliminate it

Religion
Writing for religious concepts takes place within a secular, academic
environment, rather than a faith-oriented community. It tries to demonstrate or
refute provocative religious concepts, such as the existence of God or the idea of
reincarnation. Such issues are supernatural and/or metaphysical; as such, they
cannot be proven with evidence that is available to everyone.
It also includes interdisciplinary, so there are multiple modes of investigation,
including literary, historical, cultural, sociological, and anthropological. These
approaches tend to contextualize religious phenomena, such as beliefs and rituals. .
Example of Topics/Titles: Animalism and totemism, their manifestations in
the modern world, Polytheistic religions and mythology. Similarities in myths and
images of the gods, Greek myths and religion, their impact on the European culture,
The phenomenon of trickster gods, The female goddesses triad: the maiden, the
mother and the hag, World religions and science, Monotheistic religions: similarities
and differences and Religions and laws in modern world

Science
The science concept plays a critical role in the development process of a society
which is almost like citing a cliché. The importance of this field cannot be
overemphasized, hence it will focus on the relationship of science and technology
and economic development and it does not imply that the other aspects of society (e.
g., cultural and political development) are of less significance. On the contrary, the
emphasis on science in the educational system may lead to more rational human
relations since a sense of objectivity would generally prevail in society.
What may be a more tangible benefit, however, are the effects of science and
technology in the economic sense, in the form of greater productivity, higher incomes,
and a more comfortable way of life. Science therefore is a system of activities which
seek to describe, understand and predict natural phenomenon in terms of
accumulative body of experimentally verifiable laws, principles and theories.

It is usually classified into the basic sciences (biology, chemistry, physics,


mathematics, and the earth sciences) and applied sciences (agricultural sciences,
engineering sciences, and the health sciences). The core activity of science consists
of research and development. Research aims to acquire new knowledge.
Development, on the other hand, involves the transformation of research findings
into prototype inventions of new materials, devices, and processes.
Example of Topics/Titles: What cloning has in store for humanity: altering
the personality, How nanotechnology will impact modern science, How psychoactive
drugs influence the central nervous system, Deafness and using echolocation, The
role of erythropoietin and calcitriol in the human body, The process of feeling pain:
treatment and pain relievers of the future, Is nuclear energy too hazardous to use?,
People’s impact on climate change: the cost of a technological breakthrough, Key
issues and potential solutions for toxic waste disposal, Are the effects of global
warming reversible?, and Endangered species: causes and concerns

Sports
In writing concept paper for sports, it includes sports marketing. Sports
marketing is an area within the marketing field that has become of more interest
among scholars due to its growing importance in the society (Shannon, 1999; Ngan
et al., 2011). The research has been devoted both on the promotion of sport events
and teams, as well as the promotion of other products and services in relation to
sport events.
From a business point of view the objective is to provide business firms with
strategies to promote the sport, or to promote products and services via sport events.
The primary sport product can be both tangible and intangible in nature. At the same
time, businesses and corporate entities use sport as a way to reach their consumers
and to sell their respective products and services. Examples of tangible resources are
different types of physical assets, such as production equipment, component, and
material. Examples of intangible resources are knowledge, skills, and routines. All
resources, either tangible or intangible, are viewed to be heterogeneous.
Example of Topics/Titles: What are the ramification of use of steroids and
drugs in sports?, Lifelong benefits of child sports, Does youth sports play a part in
character formation?, How has sports evolved with technological advances?, What
challenges do sports nutritionist face with the athletes?, What is the impact of sports
role models to the youth?, Sports and nationalism, and weight requirements during
training.

TechVoc
In writing concept paper for TecVoc, the need to consider the unprecedented
changes in work, family, community and political life in the twenty-first century—
fuelled are said to be a myriad phenomenon such as globalization and market
deregulation. This is a worldwide influence of capitalism which necessitates
knowledgeable workers skilled in information technologies.
This confronts people in every region of the world. While these phenomena
pose significant economic, social and cultural challenges, technical and vocational
education and training (TVET) professionals are particularly challenged to develop,
adapt or redesign strategies to address the needs of workers and society.

Home Economics
Home economists are concerned with family welfare and home economics
researchers have drawn upon their own particular competencies as well as those of
many people in allied fields. Its efforts are frequently directed at facets of larger
research problems requiring a multi-disciplinary approach. In these specialized
areas of broad discipline, it includes traditional areas of food, nutrition, and clothing
as well since many things are and should be of vital interest to individuals.
Example of Topics/Titles: Food Safety, Family Economic Welfare,
Commercial Cooking Competencies, Household Management, The concept also
includes a variety of sources of funds, both government and private, home
economists are involved in research related to household management, housing,
clothing and textiles, equipment, food, nutrition, agricultural economics, chemistry,
economic and sociological analysis of rural as well as non-rural living, analyses of
public policy alternatives, consumer choice and decision making, and research

As applications of ICT have grown in both number and popularity, researchers


and educators have devised a variety of techniques, methodologies, and
measurement tools to develop, deliver, and, at the same time, evaluate the
effectiveness of their use.
The explosion of these methodologies in this new field of ICT study has created
an abundance of new, state-of-the-art literature related to all aspects of this
expanding discipline. This body of work allows researchers to learn about the
fundamental theories, latest discoveries, and forthcoming trends in the field of ICT.
Therefore, constant technological innovation challenges researchers in ICT to
stay abreast of and continue to develop and deliver methodologies and techniques
utilizing the latest advancements in ICT.
Example of Topics/titles: Procedures to enhance IT security, New
methodologies and challenges to IT management in health, Interrelation, patterns,
and existing theories on behavior and IT, Common services center vs. community
multimedia center: selecting the correct variety of IT service, Racial and gender issues
in the IT domain, Innovative theories regarding computer imitation of a human being
and The impact of digitization of medical records on the IT domain.
