how to start in writing an essay in general?

We Answered:

You can start an essay in a variety of ways. One that works the best for me is using a feature like introduction where you set the scene as it happened somewhere at sometime. Of course I've wrote history essays, not science, in college so far.

For example:
More than 100 years ago, near the Greek island of Antikythera, a terrified sponge diver climbed out of his diving suit and announced his discovery: a sunken ship filled with "a heap of dead, naked women." What diver Elias Stadiatos had actually come upon was a horde of realis.....

Also, depending on the level of writing and who your professor is you can start with a question. It is not recommended but often done, even on the professional level.

For Example:
How do you know spring has sprung? For birders, it's the first robin. For gardeners, it's the first tulip or daffodil. But for amateur astronomers, it's arcing to the star Arcturus.

Another thing to consider is reading some articles on the NASA homepage. I'm sure you could some ideas and a general knowledge of starting your essay.

On a final note, your original question was rather vague, please clarify if you mean "starting" by an introduction or "starting" as in gathering research and selecting a topic, because it's two different things.

If you have any questions or such feel free to e-mail me and ask, I hope I was of some help at least.

We Answered:

Perhaps a brief history of psychology would be the path of least resistnace. Maybe a blurb about Pavlov's dog, Freud's bizaare theories, and finsh it up with how modern medication has changed the way we treat mental disorders.
