This section is critically important as it must contain some mention of all the subject matter in the following Chapter 2 Review of the Literature 2 and the methodology 3. Key words should abound that will subsequently be used again in Chapter 2. The section is a brief two to four page summary of the major findings in the field of interest that cities the most current finding in subject area. A minimum of two to three citations to the literature per paragraph is advisable. The paragraph must be a summary of unresolved issues, conflicting findings, social concerns, or educational, national, or international issues, and lead to the next section, the statement of the problem. The problem is the gap in the knowledge. The focus of the background of the problem is where a gap in the knowledge is found in the current body of empirical (research) literature.
