How to research consumer and company information on Government websites
The objective of this assignment is for you to acquire knowledge and skills on what consumer and company information is available from various government agencies and how to research the available information and data.
You have been assigned a project by your employer to write a paper on how to research consumer and company information on Government websites.
The parameters for the paper are:
  • Between 1250-1500 words long excluding Works Cited or Bibliography
  • Follow the format for papers used for other class assignments
  • Use APA format
  • Place “Research Project” as a watermark on your paper.
Your paper must report on any four* of the following government agencies:
  • Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
  • Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
  • Commodity Futures Trading Commission
  • Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
  • Federal grants (grants.gov)
  • Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED)
  • Government Accounting Office (GAO)
  • Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
  • Small Business Administration (SBA)
Your report must include the following:
  • Agency’s mission and responsibilities
  • History of agency (short; one paragraph)
  • What data is available to the public?
  • In what form is the data available?
  • How can the data be accessed by the public?
  • Who is the primary user of the data?
  • Why is the data accessed – for what purpose?
  • How current is the data.
  • What periodic reports are issued by the agency and frequency of those reports?
  • In addition, any other topics you believe relevant to your chosen career or current employment.
Discuss, or group, all of the above items for each agency in one paragraph or section.
Cite all of your sources in APA format.
How to cite a government website in APA format:
Using American Psychological Association (APA) style is fairly easy. Only four elements must be obtained to cite a web page: author, date, title, and source. If the format of the website is unusual, you may also need to include a format description in brackets in between title and source information. In-text citation follows standard author and page formats. Usually there is no page number, so just citing the author is common practice.
An example looks like:
Lee, Jessie. (2011, March 2). President Obama on the Tragic Events in Germany [Blog Post]. Retrieved from http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/03/02/president-obama-tragic-events-germany
“2011, March 2” is the date you viewed the website. If no date is available, insert “n.d.” instead.

    Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders

     Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The  DSM-5-TR  is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder.
