Conclusion

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Conclusion is the final part of something, its end or result. When you write a paper, you always end by summing up your arguments and drawing a conclusion about what you've been writing about.

Definition[edit | edit source]

The term "conclusion" is derived from the Latin word 'concludere', which means 'to close'. In the context of written documents, a conclusion is typically the final section or paragraph that summarizes the main points and findings, and often includes recommendations or implications for future research or practice.

Importance of a Conclusion[edit | edit source]

The conclusion is an important part of any written piece, as it provides closure and helps the reader understand the main points and implications of the work. It is often the last chance for the author to make an impression on the reader, and therefore should be clear, concise, and compelling.

Components of a Conclusion[edit | edit source]

A conclusion typically includes the following components:

  • Summary of Main Points: This is a brief recap of the key points or findings that were discussed in the document. This helps to remind the reader of what has been covered and reinforces the main message.
  • Implications: This section discusses the significance of the findings or arguments. It may include implications for future research, policy, or practice.
  • Recommendations: If applicable, the conclusion may include recommendations for future action based on the findings or arguments presented in the document.

Writing a Conclusion[edit | edit source]

Writing a conclusion involves summarizing the main points, discussing the implications, and if applicable, making recommendations. It should not introduce new information or arguments, but rather should wrap up the document in a clear and concise manner.
