INTRODUCTION: Constitutes the conceptual or theoretical stage of research and serves to present the reader with the general problem being addressed, allowing them to understand and evaluate the study's results. This section must provide a reasoned justification for the work, formulating the problem or central question in a precise and understandable manner. Written in the present tense, it reflects the current state of knowledge on the topic at the start of the research. Furthermore, it provides a synthetic overview of the subject matter, may include a brief review of background, highlight the scientific relevance of the study, and state both the objective and the hypothesis, if applicable. It should also be oriented towards highlighting the need for the study, sparking the reader's interest, and indicating, at the end, the main purpose of the work, as well as the fundamental question it attempts to answer.

DEVELOPMENT OR CONTENT: Refers to the structured discussion of the topic, guided by a criterion that allows each section to be addressed and organized clearly and comprehensibly. Its core content consists of a reasoned personal exposition, which may include confronting the viewpoints of other authors, always supported by theoretical foundations and scientific evidence. This section must be organized into sections with subheadings that follow the logic of the topic, include a review of relevant literature, and, if it is an essay based on one's own research, explain the methodology used in detail. It should also analyze data, previous studies, and use references from reliable sources, such as scientific articles, books, or reports. Finally, the development must offer a critical synthesis that allows for posing new questions for future research, always based on empirical evidence and not personal opinions.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: This section is not part of all essay structures; it is advisable when presenting one's own research or analyzing data obtained by the author. In this section, findings are interpreted in relation to the hypothesis or problem posed, compared with previous studies, and their scientific implications are analyzed. Additionally, it may include the limitations of the study conducted and propose potential future lines of research, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of the topic addressed.

CONCLUSION: Summarizes the most relevant findings of the essay and highlights their importance in relation to the research question or hypothesis posed, reaffirming the central ideas of the study. This section can also suggest practical applications of the results obtained or propose future lines of research. Likewise, it points out the most interesting aspects discovered during the analysis, indicating how these contribute to a deeper understanding of the topic and explaining the value the study could have in academic, scientific, or professional contexts.
