-This is an academic writing paper. This is NOT an opinion paper. Characteristics of academic writing include a formal tone, use of the third person rather than first-person perspective, a clear focus on the problem (obesity), and precise word choice. Academic writing is designed to convey agreed meaning about complex ideas or concepts for a group of scholarly experts. Again, this is an academic writing paper which will demonstrate a sound understanding of the topic of obesity.
