HOW TO WRITE YOUR SYNTHESIS
Here is an example of a synthesis paper. Notice that this paper synthesizes
information without summarizing.

While the articles used in this paper agree that women made many advances during
the Word War II period, it is crucial to realize that not all these changes were
welcomed. In most cases women faced discrimination from just about everyone
around them. Women in the workplace were often placed in positions of inferiority
or treated as being less physically able to do the same work the men did. Many
women were often not trained because they were viewed as temporary employees
who were only there for the duration of the war. Women were very rarely given
equal pay as men, even though some of them did the same work. Women in the
military faced not only mental abuse but also physical harm from their male
counterparts. There were many instances where female aviators were injured or
killed due to being made to fly ill-maintained aircrafts or aircrafts that had been
sabotaged.

The sample above is an excellent example of how to synthesize information

adequately. Notice how when transitioning from one work to another the writer
notes not only that the two are similar, but also how they are similar. The writer
goes into detail about one works discussion of women in industry facing
discrimination while noting that the other deals with prejudice in the military. The
author also transitions well between the first and the second work article; rather
than summarizing, the author draws comparisons between the two works, giving
relevant information and at the same time synthesizing the two works adequately.
