Background: One of the symptoms of long-COVID is a loss or decline in<\/div>\n
the sense of smell. However, when people are asked which sense (i.e.,<\/div>\n
touch, taste, smell, sight, or hearing) they could live without, most<\/div>\n
people indicate they could live without their sense of smell. Such<\/div>\n
anecdotal findings suggest that the sense of smell is the least<\/div>\n
important of our senses and we could live normal lives without it, but<\/div>\n
is this consistent with research findings?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Essay Question: Does having no, or a relatively poor sense of smell,<\/div>\n
compromise a person\u2019s wellbeing? Support your position by discussing<\/div>\n
the deficits and difficulties faced by people with no, or a relatively<\/div>\n
poor sense of smell, in three different aspects of their lives (e.g.,<\/div>\n
physical, psychological, and social).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Instruction. A different citation is required for each of three<\/div>\n
aspects of a person\u2019s life that are mentioned. For example, if you<\/div>\n
discuss physical, psychological and social aspects, each of the three<\/div>\n
aspects will need to be supported by a different research article.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You may refer to research findings with people born without or who<\/div>\n
lose their sense of smell. You may also refer to research findings<\/div>\n
that draw conclusions based on people who have a relatively better (or<\/div>\n
worse) sense of smell.<\/div>\n
The way people may have lost their sense of smell is not an important<\/div>\n
factor for discussion in this essay, but instead the consequences, if<\/div>\n
any, of any subsequent smell loss.<\/div>\n
Clearly state your position (i.e., whether you agree or disagree with<\/div>\n
the question) and present a critical discussion of the research which<\/div>\n
supports your position.<\/div>\n
Read a number of research articles first and then decide your position.<\/div>\n
You have been provided with nine starter references to help you with<\/div>\n
your essay. You can choose to use as many or as few of the starter<\/div>\n
references as you would like. However, it is strongly recommended that<\/div>\n
you read the starter references first, before doing your own research.<\/div>\n
They will give you a good idea of the type of literature and research<\/div>\n
which is appropriate and relevant for your essay.<\/div>\n
You will find that some of the starter references have multiple<\/div>\n
studies within the one article. You do not need to discuss each study<\/div>\n
from a single article in depth, but instead, you can pick one or two<\/div>\n
studies from the article which help illustrate your point.<\/div>\n
Each of your arguments should be supported by at least one primary<\/div>\n
source from a peer-reviewed journal article. It is not enough to<\/div>\n
simply cite a study that supports your position. You should provide<\/div>\n
enough detail about the study so that the reader can understand how<\/div>\n
the study supports the argument you are making. This might include a<\/div>\n
brief summary of the method, findings, conclusion, strengths, and\/or<\/div>\n
limitations\/caveats.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
